Do you feel like you are a giver in all your relationships? Or in life?

Do you feel like you keep giving but can’t receive in return?

This is a topic of discussion with almost all my clients where manifesting is concerned because receiving is a big part of the Manifesting process.

Most of my clients are givers, and we work to help them understand how they can receive more.
However, the right type of giving is essential for your emotional well-being, and therefore in the manifesting process!

Being a giver is often labelled as a weakness in today’s society, that encourages us to draw boundaries and protect our energy.

And I 100% agree that it’s important to do both of the above. I fiercely protect my energy and teach my clients to do it too.

However, this is only one side of the conversation.
With this blog, my intention is to show you the other side; to have a more holistic conversation with you about giving.

If you know me, you know I am passionate about a holistic approach to everything in life
So here goes.

There are 2 types of giving:

The first comes from a place of fear, which is more popularly known as “people-pleasing”.
The second comes from a place of love – wanting to contribute from a place of pure intention.

The first one drains you of energy. I speak from experience.
I remember a time when I pretty much changed my entire personality to please people. And what happened? I completely lost myself. I disconnected from my truth and didn’t even know who I really was by the end of it.

People Pleasing

“People-pleasing” as a behaviour isn’t bad, because it comes from a place of wanting to be loved. Very often, people develop this behaviour because they didn’t receive love the way they needed it as a child.
However, over time, we lose ourselves with it. We lose the ability to love ourselves. We end up feeling empty or betrayed because at some level we have betrayed our true selves.
We start resenting the people we give to.
And this has a detrimental impact on our personal relationships and overall well-being.

Contribution

This second type of giving replenishes your energy. It comes from a place of truth and power – it comes from your highest self with the intention to serve and contribute.

Contribution is one of the 6 basic human emotional needs. When we don’t or can’t contribute from our truth, we feel misaligned.
Therefore, it is essential for our well-being to give from a place of love.
This could be donating your time, money or energy. It could be taking care of your loved ones.
It could be helping a stranger out with a flat tire. Whatever feels most aligned to YOU.
In fact, there is research that shows that people who donate and contribute are overall happier people!

I’m sure that you can FEEL the difference in the energy between the 2 types of giving.

Your takeaway on Giving:

Giving is important for your emotional well-being. What determines your well-being is whether it comes from a place of fear or love. You want to choose the second one in order to feel expansive, replenished and aligned!

All my love,
