Something to remember to not get caught into a bad, unfulfilling relationship. 😊🙅🏼‍♀️

You might have noticed

@connectingwithsoul went through a little-major rebranding moment a few days ago... While I'm still interested in psychology, healing, and spirituality, the focus has shifted from longing/hoping/overthinking about the past towards self-care and empowerment in the present. It represents a mindset change within my own life where I feel happier, more connected to my desires and genuinely more optimistic about my life. I'm really happy. And I'd like to share more of that with you. Love, @connectingwithsoul

P.S. As I am now endeavoring to live (mostly) by creative pursuits, any financial support is totally appreciated.

Do you love yourself enough to receive to the fullest?

To understand the process of receiving, we put together a model called 'The fountain of receiving'

It flows from the bottom to the top, and overflows, just like a regular fountain.

At the bottom, when the fountain hasn't begun to flow, we are empty. This is a place where we have received absolutely nothing and hence we feel Empty.

As the fountain starts to flow, we feel a Desire to receive. We haven't received yet, but we feel the need to. The desire may be secret or well-known to us, but it is present.

Once we acknowledge our desire, we allow ourself to receive. In this place of Allowing, we let go of resistance or blockages that hold us back from receiving.

As the fountain rises, it grows and expands. This is where our ability to receive is Expanding. We allow in more than we previously did, our self worth has increased and we believe we deserve more.

After we know that we are worthy to receive, we become more selective with what we wish to receive and start Magnetizing what we want towards us. It is where we consciously manifest what we like.

Once the fountain gains momentum, we reach a space of Alignment, where the act of receiving comes naturally to us. It feels like fate or destiny. Receiving happens effortlessly and in every moment.

This leads us to a place of Receiving all that life has to offer us. We are living our full potential and we have infinite capacity to Receive. We reach the Epitome of receiving.

When we reach the peak of the fountain and have received to the fullest, we start Overflowing. From this space, you can truly give to others. All that overflows is extra to you and hence can be happily shared.

This begins a new cycle of giving back, after you have received. This is when you can truly be of service to others.

If you serve from a space of emptiness or lack, you will always be drained. That is why it is so important to complete your fountain of receiving process.

Wow, I've been overcommitting to the wrong things my whole life. No wonder I wasn't happy and felt everything was just a burden for me to shoulder.

The first thing I realized was that I wasn't afraid to die, but that the people in my life (children, siblings, parents, and close friends) still needed me. I made an active decision to pull through and live.

The second thing I realized was that I had totally wasted my life thus far. I'm verbal emotionally and tell others I love them, but I hadn't actually loved anyone enough. I needed to share more honest compliments. I needed to encourage those in my life more. I needed to be more positive. I needed to love others as much as I could and anything less was wasting my opportunity to really affect others.

I didn't regret time spent at the office providing for my family, or bad decisions made. I regretted not being closer to my family. I regretted time spent amusing myself instead of investing happiness into others, family or not.

Its been 8 months since that accident. I haven't had an argument or even gotten mildly irritated with anyone. I don't miss an opportunity to praise others. I encourage others to take chances, risk rejection, and achieve their dreams. I compliment children to their parents and give thanks and recognition to every kindness received or excellence observed. I’m living fully, ignoring pettiness, and doing my very best to love others so I have no regrets at the end of my life, whenever it happens.

“I had a weird, empty feeling inside me. Not a bad sort of empty. It was a sort of lack of sensation, like being in pain for a long time and then suddenly realizing that you’re not anymore.”

There's no reason you can't have a happy life starting right now. I actually think it can feel more rewarding to give yourself a happy life now as an aware adult than to have always had it from the beginning. To be aware and present at the birth of your new self as an adult is pretty incredible stuff. How many people get to be awake and aware for the emergence of the person they were always meant to be ? How many people get to have two lifetimes in one ?

Don't be with someone out of guilt. Don't make someone a charity case. You would always want more and you will never be satisfied with them. They deserve better than that. Don't let them or yourself settle for half-love. @connectingwithsoul

See it. The ego will come up and make you afraid. See it. And don't do anything about it. It's a game you don't have to participate in. @connectingwithsoul
