Yesterday I did the LL20 exercise and listened to the audio. Throughout I admit I was a bit dismissive of certain elements, b/c I don't and have never had a problem receiving... or at least that's what I though up till now.
Just hours after completing the LL. I was on the road visiting some accounts I have for work. Upon entering an account the retailer, who I have known for 7 years and see regularly, say's to me... "Hi! You always look so fresh, and relaxed, and good." I immidiatley said, "I DO NOT LOOK FRESH & RELAXED & GOOD everytime you see me - I'm usually a disaster." As soon as it came out of my mouth I got it.
Clearly I don't recieve at all - not like I thought I did. The retailer was being genuine and nice and expressing her feelings. I had the opportunity to accept it, and simply say Thank You. Made me wonder how many other times, situations I have sabatoged as a result of not receiving. Receiving ALL things is much harder and complicated than I thought. Something to work on for sure. On to the next LL... Thanks!

What a good aha moment this must be for you. Congratulations

When you know that everything you desire is already in you, receiving is easy!

What a wonderful realization GVenus! Recognizing this is a great step towards choosing to react / respond differently. Instead of the just cranking out a conditioned response I now find myself being more receptive (and a better listener too)!

A number of years ago, I was taught that it's polite if someone compliments you to just say "Thanks". I now know it's more than politeness. It's accepting the positivity and love behind the comment. It's also accepting that the comments ARE true.

Now you are aware of this you can change your thinking, and already are.

Well done
