Allow Yourself To Receive & Overcome Overwhelm
Welcome to Lovely Monday Motivation where I share 1 self-love tip and answer 1 self-love question. This week’s self-love tip is to allow yourself to receive. The more open and willing that you are to receive gifts, whether it is from your friend or the Higher Power, the more prosperous you will be in the gifts that you receive. In simple terms, the more open and willing you are to receive, the more you are allowing yourself to get. There are many layers that could get in the way of this. One reason may be that someone doesn’t feel as though they deserve goodness and abundance. Another reason may be that they have had a lot of challenges in the past and created an assumption that because they have had challenges in the past, they will continue having challenges in the future. Here are two methods that I’ve found to work for my clients and I: Write out on a piece of paper a letter to the Higher Power that you are willing and able to receive gifts with joy and grace. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and visualize yourself receiving an abundance of gifts. For both of these methods, there are two key points to keep in mind. The first is that when you are writing or visualizing, create the feeling inside that you are already prosperous and have gratitude for receiving. One way to ignite this feeling is to ask yourself, “How would I feel if I had this right now?” and see what comes up for you. The next point is that when you do receive, accept it easily and happily. My self-love question this week is from Dee. She asked, “How do we love ourselves best when we feel overwhelmed and stressed out by pressure?”. This is a really amazing question, Dee! Thank you so much for asking. This answer has two parts. The first thing that I recommend is to remember that you are exactly where you are meant to be in your journey. Overwhelm and stress is usually caused by living in the future. Bring yourself back to the present moment and trust the process. Then, make a plan. What works really well for me is to write everything out and organize it in a way that I can see the full picture. Then, depending on my timeline, I’ll organize my tasks by time and rearrange them as needed so that when I look at the whole plan, it is 100% doable and motivating. The next thing that I suggest is to consider if this thing that is causing you so much overwhelm and stress is worth it? I’m being really serious here. There are definitely things in your life that you need to prioritize. I want to acknowledge that. But if you are under constant stress, this is a recipe for deteriorating mental health and eventually, physical health. If you don’t have time for your needs, something needs to change. I previously had worked as a childcare nanny and I loved my job a lot. I had a strong emotional connection to the children and wanted to always be there for them. At the same time, I had no time for my own needs or self-care. Even getting groceries was really hard. This kind of situation is harmful to anyone and leaks our power. If this is you, reclaim your power back! It might hurt at first and can be hard, but you have to fulfill your own needs first before you give energy to other people. That is simply how you have a healthy life.

Celebrating Yourself & How To Have Confidence When Pivoting Career Directions
Self-love tip: Contemplate how you will not only celebrate wins but also celebrate all of the steps you are taking every day to get closer to our wins! Sometimes our minds can get wrapped up in a distant future, thinking about how great it would be if only we had this thing that we want so badly. When we do that, we are really pulling ourselves away from the present moment and the groundedness that will eventually take us to that place. Come back to the present moment. Celebrate the progress that you are making.
Sometimes we can put so much pressure on ourselves for everything that we do. When I first began writing blogs, I put pressure on myself to write one full blog every single day. I got so burned out from that. I realized that something had to change and so I changed my view from being that I have to achieve this one big thing to the perspective of “as long as I am getting closer to my goals” then this day has been successful. So rather than a tangible outcome of what I need to do, I made it something more digestible.
Trust me, it’s understandable to want to be so much further than you are. That can actually be a good thing, it exemplifies that you are passionate about your personal development and growth! The key here is figuring out how to do it in a way that is positively constructive for you and not exhausting you.
Here are a few ideas that I’ve come up with and I highly suggest that you come up with your own!
- Cook a great meal.
- Paint your nails, wash your hair, take a bath, etc.
- Simply telling yourself that you are doing incredible and acknowledging your hard work.
- Doing a relaxing meditation that feels great for you.
- Taking in deep and pleasurable breaths.
- Allowing yourself to take a break.
- Come up with your own!
My self-love question this week comes from Scott, he asked “When pivoting career directions, how does one stay confident in their course?”
Thank you so much for asking this question, Scott. The first thing that comes to mind for me is to remember why you started. What is motivating you to make this change? And when it gets hard, what will keep you motivated? Usually, when people are doing something for someone else, that can be a really powerful motivator. Sometimes, doing things only for material gain or your own ego can be exhausting. I recommend creating a list of 21 reasons why you want this so much. Really dig deep into yourself.
Another thing that I recommend is to have a definite outcome goal and action plan. If you aren’t 1000% sure where you are going, it will be a lot harder to be confident in your course. When you know what your outcome goal is, you’re able to plan out what will take you there. I recently purchased a best self journal where it is a 13-week tracker. You begin with 3 outcome goals, then digest those goals into weeks, then into days. All of these actions are tied to your outcome goal. Good questions to ask yourself are “Who do you want to become?” and “What can I do to get to where I want to go?”.
Lastly, I’m not sure what your faith is or looks like, but honestly, for me, the biggest thing is trusting in God to help me. A lot of people feel called in their hearts to do something and aren’t sure how to get there. That calling is your purpose. You were born with special gifts and talents to achieve that. When you are living out your purpose for the highest good of all, God definitely wants to help you. Trust and believe in that. Also, when you feel that God is supporting you, you will come from a place of abundance. This is important because the energy that you go into your work with dictates a lot. Energy can be felt by others, you just can’t really hide it. The more that you work from a place of love and abundance, the better that work will feel for you, and the better results that you will yield.
The last thing that I want to mention is to figuratively ‘take the stairs’. For example, rather than focusing on instant gratification and numbers, try to focus more on creating and nurturing meaningful connections. Focus on the big picture!
I hope this was helpful! Please share this with someone who you feel could benefit from learning this information. Much love and talk with you next week!
