You need to do more of this.

I'm gonna guess if you're into my work,

you're an over-giver.

Hmmmm?

Yep. Takes one to know one, and I am definitely one.

Perhaps you already know this about yourself,

and you're actively working on it.

Or maybe your head tends to swirl in NeverEnoughNeverEnough,

and only your deepest-down guts feel the truth:

your capacity for Giving exceeds your capacity for Receiving.

That is not only unsustainable,

it's a recipe for resentment and burnout.

This is changeable, and you can start today. Ask:

What would be delicious?

What would be a total treat?

Indulge in that.

Expect to feel self-conscious. Maybe even a little embarrassed or guilty.

I promise: the worse it feels to treat yourself,

the greater the imbalance you're correcting.

I also promise:

the more you learn to receive,

the more you'll be able to give . . .

but not - as usual - from your reserves.

From your overflow.

Love,

Natalie
