#LESSONUP:
(1:14) …your archetype is a portal to the deepest part of you, your authentic self.
(2:03) You can talk yourself into believing that small efforts don’t matter when measured against the great challenges of the world but history is full of small actions that produced big results. One person’s small act of courage can spark massive transformation.
(9:32) Not only do we worry about how others feel, but we also remember emotional events in great detail. It’s why you’ll often hear women say, ‘I don’t like conflict.’ Our brains are massively triggered by social rejection, and conflict puts us at odds with our urge to stay connected, to gain approval and nurture, so we would rather defuse it.
(10:05) …whether you are awake to it or not, women are receiving stations designed for high- level communication with the world around us. Receiving is not the problem. Receiving is automatic. Whether it’s verbal or non-verbal, visible or invisible, subconscious or conscious, we take it in. The more sensitive you are, the more you receive. So the problem is not that we don’t know how to receive, it’s our relationship to what we receive that is the problem.
(12:35) Receiving is like breathing: required for living. You must receive the air back into your lungs after you exhale, otherwise you will die. Allowing, opening, being magnetic these gifts of receiving that used to come naturally are vital for your wholeness. They are intimately connected to the fulfillment of your vision and to your increased prosperity. To love and be loved you must be able to receive, because you cannot give what you do not have.
