This is the mantra I got in this week’s journaling + alchemy kit: It’s easy for me to have what I want.
This is a hard one!
In the message I send out with this one I talk about how much this one has PUSHED me.
Remembering that with these mantras we are never trying to force ourselves to feel a certain way or pretend to have a belief we don’t genuinely have. We are exploring, learning more about ourselves and how to bring ourselves more of what we want and need.
It’s easy for me to have what I want. I mean it would be amazing to feel this way all the time.
And we have to recognize that, in the culture we live in with intersecting systems of privilege and oppression, the more intersections of privilege you have the easier this one is to believe because invisible systems really are making it easier for you to get what you want.
So if this one feels really hard for you, that’s not necessarily on you.
Recognizing where dominant culture makes it harder for you to receive what you want is not “playing the victim” or “being negative” - it’s having clear sight.
And with clear sight you can see the path much better.
AND of course we might have places in us that believe that it's "just too hard" to go after the things we really want, and it's our work to detangle those beliefs.
So this is a tricky one.
One question it brings up is - how do we open up more space for receptivity?
I did a receptivity call last year - the replay is very helpful! I do a mini version of that practice most mornings before I get out of bed. We can practice and learn to BECOME more receptive, we’re not just stuck where we are with it.
What do you think?
When do you feel like it’s easy for you to receive what you want?
And when DON’T you?
And what could you do about that?
