But then the big day arrives , and you ’ re down with the worst flu you ’ ve ever had in your life ! You can barely get out of bed and have to give away that precious ticket . If you see things like this unfold in your manifesting journey , you know you have a block around receiving .

The good news is there ’ s an antidote to this manifesting challenge , and it ’ s a simple practice focused on finding reasons , excuses , and opportunities to receive with grace and gratitude .

Whatever happens , do your best to avoid saying things like “ Oh , that ’ s okay . I can do this on my own ,” or “ You shouldn ’ t have ,” or “ It ’ s too expensive ” when someone offers to help you or gives you a gift .

Not only is this likely to disappoint and frustrate the person who was kind enough to think of you and your needs , but the Universe hears you saying , “ No thanks , I don ’ t want to receive . Don ’ t give me anything .” This is definitely not the signal we want to send out to our all-powerful manifesting ally !

I call it Radical Receiving , and when you practice regularly , you ’ ll teach yourself to receive help , support , compliments , and gifts — even big or expensive ones that might make you feel uncomfortable — with a simple thank you from the heart . When you learn to receive with joy , gratitude , and delight , you ’ re essentially saying to the Universe , “ Yes , please , and I ’ d love more of this .”
