The Art of Receiving: Opening Yourself to More Money, Success and Joy

How comfortable are you with receiving? Not just a compliment or a small favour, but truly allowing yourself to receive abundance—money, opportunities, support, and success?

Many heart-centered entrepreneurs feel stuck when it comes to receiving. They give so much, yet when it’s time to receive, they unconsciously block it. Maybe it’s a belief that they have to work harder, prove their worth, or that success and wealth are for others—not them. If this resonates, it’s time to shift your mindset and energy to fully open up to the good things waiting for you.

Why Receiving Can Feel Uncomfortable

If you’ve been conditioned to believe that hard work equals success, receiving might feel unnatural. You may carry subconscious stories such as:

• “I have to struggle to deserve wealth.”

• “If I receive too much, others will judge me.”

• “Success comes with pressure and responsibility.”

• “I don’t want to take from others.”

These hidden narratives can keep you in a cycle of pushing and striving while unconsciously resisting the very things you desire.

Shifting Into an Energy of Receiving

To attract more abundance into your life and business, you need to be as open to receiving as you are to giving. Here’s how:

1. Reframe Your Beliefs About Wealth and Success Instead of seeing money or success as something external to chase, recognize that they are reflections of your internal state. What if ease, abundance, and joy were natural states of being? What if you were already worthy of all the success you desire—simply because you exist?

2. Strengthen Your Receiving Muscle Start small. When someone gives you a compliment, simply say “thank you” without deflecting. How do you receive a compliment? If someone says, "I love your jumper," do you say, "Oh, thank you!" or do you respond with, "Oh, this old thing..." and brush it off? Notice how you respond and practice accepting praise with grace. Allow yourself to receive support, whether it’s help from a friend or guidance from a mentor. The more you practice receiving in small ways, the easier it becomes to welcome bigger forms of abundance.

3. Align Your Energy with What You Desire Your energy and beliefs create your reality. If you desire more money, success, and joy, embody the energy of already having them. Visualize yourself as someone who easily receives, who feels safe and excited about wealth and opportunities flowing in.

4. Release the Guilt and Fear Around Receiving Receiving does not mean taking away from others. When you allow abundance into your life, you expand your capacity to give and uplift those around you. You become an example of what’s possible and create a ripple effect of empowerment.

5. Practice Gratitude and Trust Gratitude shifts your focus from lack to abundance. Instead of worrying about what hasn’t arrived yet, celebrate what is already flowing into your life. Trust that the universe is always working in your favor and that receiving is a natural, effortless process.

Final Thoughts

The universe is constantly offering you opportunities, wealth, success, and joy—but are you open to receiving them? Take a deep breath, soften your energy, and affirm: I am worthy of all the good things life has to offer. I receive with ease and gratitude.

Your dream business, financial freedom, and effortless success are closer than you think. The key is not to chase them—but to allow them in.

Are you ready to open yourself up to more? Let’s shift your energy and mindset together so you can receive all the abundance that is meant for you.
