10 Easy Ways to Receive More Love
If you’re anything like me, you may not have as much trouble giving, as you do receiving Love and care. Here is a lovely list that may help! But before you even get started, I invite you to slow down, soften, and be a little more present. It’s difficult to notice anything when you’re tense or busy rushing from one thing to the next!
Listen to the birds singing and imagine their song is just for you.
Take a deep breath and literally take in your surroundings.
Feel your skin tingling under the warm water of your shower or bath.
Receive compliments, smiles, hellos, and kind words without resistance or self-deprecation.
Appreciate and fully experience your meals. Engage your senses. Imagine your body fed.
Receive help. The end.
Welcome the co-worker seeking advice, the child sharing a story, etc. They think highly of you.
Recognize Love in languages that aren’t your own (literally and figuratively*).
Make a list of all the ways you’ve been Loved today.
Feel the sheets next to your skin as you lie in bed.
Bonus: Give yourself a hug (or an orgasm) and really receive it!
