Receiving Codes – A Guide To Limitless Abundance

Post By – Samantha Periard

The more you have, the more you can give. I remember when I was 12 years old my aunt handed me $100 for my birthday. I tried to decline the money, but I told her it was too much.

She looked at me with a firm look powered by kindness and generosity. She told me that when someone gives me something whether it be money or a compliment to accept it with grace and tact. She didn’t sugarcoat the fact that it was almost rude not to accept and that it takes away from the person trying to give you the gift if you decline.

I felt guilty about that, so I accepted the money, and bought a Hilary Duff CD and probably a bunch of candy. Haha. After all, isn’t one of the pleasures of gift giving the satisfaction of knowing what you have given has added to their life?

I’m telling you this story because this wasn’t the end all be all for my being able to receive such generous offerings. Receiving was and sometimes still is hard.

As a society, we have been shown that to receive is to be selfish. To be accepting of large sums of money makes us greedy and materialistic. To allow ourselves to be showered with praise and compliment is conceded and self-centred. To dress up for school drop-off, to wear a dress, get your nails done, to have great hair and makeup for a seemingly normal day is… too much, too bold, too loud… You attract too much attention.

After all, someone could look at you, they could stare and worst of all they could offer you a generous compliment. The horror is to put yourself in a position of receiving.

We have been shown to be small. Be small in size and fit into the average sizing for clothing. Be an acceptable weight. Laugh a little quieter not to attract too much attention. Go to college instead of being a pop star, because that’s unrealistic and would cause way too much attention.

Be a lady, be a good girl. Fit into the box you were given, be quieter, be smaller, and sure as hell don’t make too much money, or you could be viewed as greedy and make others uncomfortable.

But what if there was another way? Hear Me Out

What if it was GOOD, to receive more? What if by you being rich, you could fill the pockets of others? What if by doing your hair for school drop off you inspire another mother in her depressive slump to feel like herself again? What if in your boldness, you become magnetic?

When my son was a year old, I investigated my drawers and looked in the mirror. I saw a new mother with her hair in a bun, bags under her eyes, and holes in her thrift store clothes that might I add… were inside out because #momlife lol.

I saw a much smaller woman. The bold, bright, light in my eyes looked dull. I was the smallest I had ever been. I stopped treating myself to the things I loved such as cake, curled hair, mascara, pedicures, new clothes, new shoes, and fun. I forced myself into the box of what I thought was successful motherhood.

Moms wear their hair up every day, don’t they? They skip showers, and they wear leggings and oversized tees. Most importantly they are trying to bounce back to their pre-baby weight… Aren’t they? So, I embodied it. All of it. I didn’t want to be that selfish mom who, heaven for freakin bid, did her hair. How could I take precious time away from this little potato baby I birthed out of my body? I stopped receiving them.

One day in the middle of an anxious meltdown in my undies on the kitchen floor, I realized I felt like a shell of myself. I sold myself out and was constantly giving away my resources. I realized by choosing the “selfless” path, I was losing myself.

By putting everyone including perceived expectations of society before what felt good to me, I gave everything I had away. I was burnt out and tapped out. Which created loneliness and lack in my life. I stopped receiving them together. Including enough food to properly sustain me. Friendships that once burned with fiery passion sailed away. The passion for fun had sizzled away and I felt completely unworthy of anything but the bare minimum.

But what good am I to my son, my husband, and the world if I am so lost, so turned off, that when I look in the mirror I can’t even recognize myself?

I remembered my aunt’s words… “Receive with tact” but how?

A little voice, call it my higher self spoke a whisper to me “Take your power back, be open to miracles and have fun along the way” This shift teaches us this:  A whole new world unravels.

This shift in thinking will simply bring you back home to who you truly are. The abundant, magnetic, turned up and on version. Upon observation of who I was being when I sold myself out for the sake of motherhood, I realized by keeping myself small, I was doing a disservice to the world.  If I could bring myself to a point where I was confident, taking up space and achieving something just for me, maybe, just maybe I could allow that power to ripple out.

I could allow that power to change the world. So, I did my hair, put on my mascara, and remembered who the hell I was.

Receiving becomes easier when you take your power back and decide that you are worthy of something more. That being small and dimming your light allows for more darkness. So, shine brighter, and remember that receiving is necessary because the more you have, the more you can give.

I believe on some level our hearts want to serve others. Whether it be world-changing ideas and teachings or raising kind humans. It all matters. What you do is just as important as what you are able to receive back. It will circle back and ripple out.

And in order to receive a little easier, whether it be money, love, compliments, travel, or opportunities, here’s what to do:

Absolutely nothing. Set your intentions, take your aligned action, be so grateful and then do nothing.

Have some fun, read a book for pleasure, and play outside with your kids. And lastly remind yourself of your own power, remind yourself how worthy you are of a great life. You are simply worthy because of the beating heart in your chest.

So, reader, I challenge you to tactfully accept the next compliment that comes your way or random money sent from the Universe from a random source. Expect miracles and step into your magnetism.

I challenge you to wear red lipstick, do your hair and allow the eyes to fall on you. And this my friend, is how you manifest anything.
