I think my heart is cracking open
Something very, very interesting is happening in my coaching business: I'm getting more aligned, more grateful, more awesome clients than ever before.
And it's causing the walls I built around my heart to crack open.
It's one thing to think I'm doing good work, it's another thing entirely to have clients say things like:
"I'm wildly impressed by you."
"This session was profound."
"Thank you so much. I am so grateful for you and your work."
These were comments by clients just this week and you'd think I'd be happy. The thing is that I am, I'm so happy. So, so happy.
But feeling this happy is so uncomfortable because it wasn't safe to feel really happy in my family growing up.
That's another story for another day but suffice to say, on order to feeling a lot of joy (or very happy) we have to feel SAFE to feel that way.
And if our joy was shut down in childhood, like it was for so many of us, then to feeling really happy as an adult is something we'll unconsciously avoid in order to protect ourselves.
I've had clients say kind things about my work in the past but I recently started to realise that I was saying "thank you" but I wasn't actually letting their love in.
Who knew that letting people's love in could hurt so much?
But I'm convinced it doesn't have to. I'm convinced I can let their love tear down the walls around my heart and I can finally experience again, for the first time in decades, an easy joyful experience of receiving people's gratitude.
That's the goal.
And I'll get there, one cracking opening experience at a time.
How comfortable do you feel letting people's love, appreciation and gratitude in?

I am usually skeptical, but I always believe the good in people until I am proven wrong. I want to think that all of them/us have the good first in our mind
It is inspiring to hear about the evolution of your coaching business and how you are attracting such aligned and grateful clients. That authentic connection not only reflects the impact of your work, but also the openness of your heart, which is an act of courage.
The discomfort you feel when experiencing happiness is understandable. Many of us carry within us the legacy of an environment where joy was a luxury. Learning to feel and receive love can be a painful process, but it is also liberating. Opening the doors of our hearts, even if it hurts, is the first step towards healing and authenticity.
It is beautiful that you recognise the power of letting in the love and gratitude of others. Every small step you take brings you closer to that pure and simple feeling of receiving. I am sure that with each new experience, you will dismantle those walls and allow the light of gratitude to illuminate your life.
I encourage you to continue on this path of self-discovery. The ability to receive love and appreciation is one of the most beautiful things we can experience. Go ahead, every day is a new opportunity to open your heart and embrace happiness! 🌟
I appreciate your encouraging words. Recognising the courage to open one's heart is a journey full of nuances. The discomfort I feel when embracing happiness is a reminder that every step towards authenticity is an act of liberation. I am determined to allow love and gratitude to flow into my life, slowly dismantling the walls I have built. Every day is a new opportunity to grow and heal, and I deeply appreciate the support on this journey. 🌱
