💸 Financial Friday: The Somatic Art of Receiving
Happy Friday! ☀️✨
In traditional finance, we are taught to focus on the numbers. But before we can comfortably hit the spreadsheets, we have to heal how our bodies actually feel about money and abundance.
Last time, we talked about saying "thank you" when we spend. Today, we are talking about the flip side: your capacity to receive.
For a very long time, I had a really hard time accepting gifts, offerings, or even simple compliments. My immediate response was to resist it, saying things like, "Oh, you didn't have to do that!" or instantly trying to figure out how to pay them back to relieve the awkward tension.
Sound familiar?
That reaction is a physical contraction. It sends a message to your subconscious mind that receiving abundance is uncomfortable or unsafe.
🤲 The Weekend Practice: The Open-Palm Reset
This weekend, whether someone offers to buy you a cup of coffee, pays you a genuine compliment, or your paycheck clears in your account, I want you to try this:
Physically open your palms face up.
Take a deep breath into your belly.
Drop the resistance, and simply say: "Thank you."
No deflecting. No minimizing. No rushing to fix it. Just let your body soften and experience the safety of being given to. You are worthy of being resourced, and you are worthy of being celebrated.
💬 Let's practice right now: How does it feel in your body to just receive without needing to fix it? Drop a 🤲 in the comments if you're practicing the open-palm reset with me this weekend! 👇💸
