Is it hard for you to take compliments because you doubt people's sincerity?

Resistant to others offering to help you, thinking you'll appear weak or that you "should" do it all yourself?

Avoiding calling back that great contact you just met or even that friend you miss, and don't know why?

Though we often ask Spirit for abundance--not just of money, but also of friendship, love and health, etc.--we can be resistant to receiving what we asked for when the opportunity finally comes our way.

Believe it or not, it's because we're actually afraid of getting what we want. Yikes!

Watch the above video to start learning to receive abundance without fear!

"Be careful what you wish for--you just might get it."

We've all heard that phrase before.

It sums up the inherent fear we all have about receiving abundantly.

With that popular phrase, we learn to avoid abundance because we learn that 1) our own judgement is not trustworthy, and 2) life will be harder when we get more of x, y or z. So don't bother.

Let's continue to look at this limiting, negative mindset for a bit--the syndrome of "why ask for more?" or "why bother?"

Isn't it just "safer" to live on crumbs of love, ghosts of friendship, and paycheck to paycheck?

Rich people are mean anyway, people who have lots of friends or who claim they are "happily married" are fake, and being healthy is impossible because our genetics and the food and pharmaceutical companies are stacked against us because of a grand conspiracyzzzzzzzzzz...

YIKES! Fear is a slippery slope of sludge and slimey energy. Yum.

Didn't you enjoy that sludge slide? Bet you were ready for more, right? LOL!

We all have patterns in our energy to create excuses to justify not asking for more, dreaming bigger, taking risks and imperfect action, being vulnerable and making mistakes--basically all the good stuff that makes life, well, REAL.

These patterns of thought and belief aren't there because they're reality, they're there for your protection.

Feeling resistant and fearful in the face of growth is just your Ego letting you know your out of bounds; She is trying to protect you from Her enemy: the Unknown.

You can always find Love in fear. You just have to look with intention.

To see the Love in your over-flagellant Ego, Spirit is saying to picture it this way:

Imagine you are driving a top-of-the-line luxury car on a very long road trip. The car has all the bells and whistles, including something called "Lane Assist" -- that new technology that keeps your car from drifting out of the lane on a highway, to prevent collisions.

Now, you've been using Lane Assist with the Cruise Control on a particularly long stretch of highway that you had to go. But the GPS says your exit is up next, so you begin to switch lanes. Since you forgot to shut off the Lane Assist, all the alarms go off saying "warning! you're drifting out of the lane!" because the computer doesn't know why you're turning.

The warning alarm was to protect you, but it no longer applies now.

And the same applies here with your Ego flaring up.

The Ego sends resistance and fear up to warn you that you're departing from who you WERE, because She isn't "programmed" to notice who you ARE right now or who you are about to BECOME.

Your Ego is designed to preserve you (as you WERE) and protect you through sending warnings in the form of emotional avoidance and resistance.

Giving in to this resistance and avoidance though reinforces your status quo; if you are happy with that, great! But if not, then we need to allow things to change.

The key is to recognize when you are resisting or avoiding something, especially if it's a good thing.

Your Ego doesn't resist just the new or possible bad stuff, She resists the new or possible good stuff too, because She's defending you against the Unknown because She believes (read: you harbor a limiting belief) that all Unknown is Unsafe.

Know this: Affirmation: I am open to receiving more love, truth and support. It is safe for me to be abundantly happy. #gratitude #success #love

Notice when you are resisting receiving a new good thing or taking a new good action; once you notice your resistance, you become conscious of your Ego overreacting, and that gives you the ability to choose how you feel and what's your next move.

The more you consciously choose how to feel and what to do, the more abundance you'll receive.

In truth, the Universe is ready and willing to deliver what you want to manifest--more love, friendship, money, health, free time, etc.--but She needs to see that you're conscious enough to choose to receive it.

The key, however, is to start small: notice resistance to small good things, like compliments, for example.

If you reject, repel, avoid or refuse to accept compliments, it's two things: 1) your Ego is overprotecting because she's repelling positive feedback, and 2) you're not conscious enough to choose to receive positive energy, even on a small scale.

Source will never send more than you can bear. So if you can't bear to receive positive, abundant energy on a small scale, she won't send it for bigger things--like love, money, cars, etc.
