Good morning, everyone. Today is Monday, November 27, 2023. 2023. The podcast episode title is, How Do You Process Giving and Receiving?
And the subtitle is, For Some, It Could Be Challenging. And this was published in Explore Your Magnificent Self. It's one of my publications, Sub-Prolications in Medium.com. I practice a few rituals in the morning that help me integrate and live my BEM, BEM, Body, Emotions, Command Mind, Model.
One such ritual is saying affirmations. I have observed that by saying affirmations loudly in front of the mirror, I get to see myself, hear my voice, watch my body language and feel my feelings. To me, it serves as a perfect coordination of how I am physically showing up, emotionally feeling and mentally present to what I am affirming. I started saying affirmations several years back, when I lost my job and embraced self-employment, as a blessing in disguise.
Saying these affirmations have tremendously helped me. I moved through major life transformations from mother to empty nester to mother-in-law to grandmother smoothly. In the professional arena, saying affirmations have helped me to be determined with grit and gratitude when expectations are not met. In the following article, I shared how saying an affirmation from Louisa's book, Meditations to Heal Your Life, describing the word money worries, helped me program my mind with thoughts of solution, thoughts of confidence, thoughts of gratitude and thoughts of abundance.
Now, that article is titled and the podcast episode is titled, This One Ritual Has Helped Me Think Better About Money. Instead of, before I was saying these affirmations and programming about the money worries, which I did, but before that, how was it? I had the thoughts of problems, thoughts of money, thoughts of ingrittitude and scarcity. I invited to read the following quote, quoted affirmation title, giving and receiving from the book, Meditations to Heal Your Life by Louis L.
A with me in front of the mirror. So I am actually going to read that for you and UK, your most welcome to come back to this episode, listen to it and probably buy that book or maybe nowadays you can find so many books online too and read that. So here is one. Remember, as you do, please be kind to yourself.
Please become aware of your thoughts, feelings and any bodily sensations with the reverential curiosity. Now the affirmation starts. The title is giving and receiving. It's from the book.
I joyously give to life. Life is to be. I give and receive gifts graciously. Appreciation and acceptance act like powerful magnets for miracles every moment of the day.
If somebody compliments me, I smile and say thank you. Compliments are gifts of prosperity. I have learned to accept them graciously. Today is a sacred gift from life.
I open my arms wide to receive the full measure of prosperity that the universe offers this day. Any time of the day or night, I can let it in. I know there are times in life when the universe gives to me and I'm not in a position to do anything about giving back. I can think of many people who helped me so much at a time when there was no way I could even repay them.
Later, I have been able to help others and that's the way life goes on. I relax and rejoice in the abundance that is here now. And that is the affirmation for the word. Giving and receiving from the book.
You say from the book, Relitations to heal your life. Now how am I impacted by seeing the above affirmation consistently? Whenever I give something to someone or do a service, I am conscious of being compassionate, reasonable and courteous. Whenever I receive a service, even if I'm unable to reciprocate, I remind myself of the above affirmation and say to myself that at some point of time, I will be able to help either physically or mentally or emotionally or spiritually or financially or academically or in a business way or community-wise.
I consciously receive gifts and compliments with gratitude by saying thank you and really meaning it. And with a smile. Conscious acts like these keep me healthy and peaceful. How about you?
How do you give and receive gifts, time and service? Now there's another author by name, not the author name, sometimes they don't give their name. So it's Nandi speaks, it's the thing. She has announced her new publication, The Bliss of Mother Nature.
This is my first post in my publication, Explode Your Maggivis Himself. So you know what? You get inspired when somebody does something and then you are looking to do something similar, but you need that nudge right and none of these speaks as one of them. And her she is the article The Bliss of Mother Nature.
Then another author, Christina God, she has inspired me to start the publication through her article. So two people have inspired me and that's how this is the first article in this, in the publication, Explode Your Maggivis Himself. And here are a couple of articles from Christina. Here is how to build your own publication.
And then finally get an email whenever I leave the Ramabrah publishers, I've given the link to that. So you have, with that said, I would like to end this episode with an invitation for you to try saying affirmations. Saying affirmations, writing affirmations. You can also say, for me, you know, it's saying in front of the middle, what's like a charm?
It's like brushing your teeth, guys. It's not going to happen in one day. Nothing happens that way. You have to be consistent.
You have to be disciplined. You have to show up. And these boarding, these boarding day to day, Monday and stuff, these are the ones that are going to build, it's like building your muscle. With that said, you have a fantastic day.
Bye-bye.
