Sometimes our walls are too high. We refuse help because we think we have to do it all. We deflect compliments because receiving feels vulnerable. We're the "strong one" who doesn't need anyone.
But refusing to receive love is just another way we abandon ourselves.
This week, we practice the vulnerable act of receiving - letting support in without feeling like we immediately "owe" something back.
When someone offers help, can you just say "Thank you" and let it sit? When someone gives you a compliment, can you receive it without rushing to return one?
You don't have to earn love by being the strong one all the time. You're allowed to let people care for you.
This week's affirmation: "I am safe to receive love."
Where are you currently trying to be the "strong one" who doesn't need anyone? What would happen if you let one person in?
