Are you a giver or a receiver? Is it easier 4 u 2 do 4 others, or 2 have others do 4 u? Although letting others love u sounds lyk fairly easy thing 2 do, 4 some of us it is anything but.
I am one of those people who can do and do 4 others, but when it comes 2 receiving love n kindness, I hve been known 2 squirm. haha.. yeah, jerk.. I noe.. Smetyms when smeone compliments me, it takes great effort 2 simply accept the kindness n say thank u. When smeone else wants 2 buy d tickets, do d dishes, or give me a present, I immedistely want 2 give something back. Why can accepting love be so difficult? Because receiving love from others requires feeling worthy n comfortable in ur own skin. U have 2 believe tat u deserve 2 be loved just 4 being u, not 4 what u do or what u give. U have 2 be open n receptive, which can make u feel vulnerable. But in order 2 let love in, u must learn 2 soften the tough extrior u may have developed as a form of protection against being hurt.
Letting others love u begins with u. The next tym someone wants 2 compliment u or do something nice 4 u, take a deep breath and accept it. Permit yourself 2 feel the kindness accompanying what is being given and allow yourself 2 be grateful. By taking what others have 2 offer, u experience the other side of loving. In order 2 love someone else --- or yourself --- you have to be able 2 give love and receive it..
TQ~
