One of my personal secrets to living a life of freedom, success and overflow?

Living your days in receptive mode.

And no, this isn’t some law of attraction, “you can manifest anything!” mumbo jumbo.

That vibe is so 2014. It’s 2024. We’re beyond that 🥰

Receptive mode doesn’t mean you have to get into the vibe, the “frequency”, the energy.

There’s no trickery or forcing anything here. We’re not forcing ourselves consciously to believe something.

It’s simply: allowing yourself to have fun and let that FUN flow into all aspects of your life, work, responsibilities.

Stepping into Empress energy is allowing yourself to receive more fun. 💃

Receptivity. What is it? 👀

It’s allowance.

Allowing yourself to be as you are. Right here, right now.

Living in total TRUST with who you are.

Dismantling the thought that you need to be anywhere else. 💥

It’s allowing yourself to be exactly, perfectly on time.

It’s allowing yourself to do what brings you joy before you take massive action.

Allowing yourself to feel more freedom, more expansion, more creativity, more OVERFLOW.

No limits. No force + zero striving.

It’s allowing yourself to have more fun with your days.

It’s knowing that you already ARE a miracle to be witnessed.

You don’t have to have to DO anything to be fully worthy and deserving of the things you desire. You just are.

You breathing = enough.

It’s remembering you’re a miracle that you’re even here and alive on this planet. And that THAT is – you – a gift.

Receptivity is a feeling of being fully open, willing and allowing – of all the goodness, all the blessings to dazzle and delight you.

It’s being fully available for life to surprise you. And also – not living in any expectation that it must.

You don’t have to get into any frequency. You just have to allow yourself to have more fun in your life.
Because you – being a miracle, being alive on this planet – deserve all of that and more.

When you start from FUN and flow from that, you’ll find that all the “work” is actually effortless. It becomes fun to show up, to create the things, to tick off the tasks, to pay the bills, to do the daily things.

My Version of Receptive Mode

For example, for me that looks like starting my day doing things that bring me joy: putting on music on the speaker, dancing, getting dressed up, putting on my favorite eyeshadow and lipstick. It looks like me journaling every morning with my cup of coffee and a square of dark chocolate. It looks like lighting a candle (or 5) just for me to enJOY them!

For me, receptive mode looks like taking 1 week every summer to be completelly offline and unplugged.

It looks like having 1 full day every week where I do nothing work-related.

It looks like checking email only twice a day and hiring help to manage my chaotic email inbox.

Receptive mode to me is asking for support when I need it and letting myself STEP BACK so I can refuel. And feeling zero guilt about it.

Being in that Empress energy is putting up my boundaries and not forcing myself to respond to every single request. Because as I grow and my business grows (we hit 20k on Tiktok and 30K on Youtube this week – wow!!) I can’t show up to read every single DM. I am not physically or energetically available to watch over my email inbox as I used to for years.

I now hire people who’s gifts and talents far exceed my own. And I focus on the things that are MY superpower.

Receptive Mode in Showing Up

But let’s get one thing clear:

Receptive mode is not passive living.

We’re not giving up or throwing in the towel. One of the biggest misconceptions people have about surrender is giving up. Absolutely not. Surrendering is allowing LIFE to guide you and moving with life….by taking action.

But we’re not FORCING anything. There’s no struggle. We take action from flowing joyfully from one thing….to the next. When we get into that zone of joyful creation and work, it feels like a dance. It genuinely feels FUN!

Receptive mode is taking action.

For me, that looks like showing up daily for my bigger mission – even if it’s only for 30 minutes. If you’ve read my blog or watched my youtube channel or read my first book Slow Living, you know my motto: do 1 small thing every day.

This doesn’t mean we force ourselves to be “consistent” but rather we lead our life with intention: what is it that is important to us? WHY does it even matter?

What are my values?

What is my core essence and what can I practically do to step INTO that essence of who I am?

And let me tell you this…

If something is really FUN and joyful for you, you will want to do it.

If you enjoy the process, you’ll always want to show up to do the thing. Regardless of the result or outcome. When the process is fun to you, it’s a joy to leap from one task to the next.

So my question to you today, friend is this:

Where do you need to flow with life more?

How can you receive and surrender to life’s guidance without giving up?

What are the small ways that you can start your day with fun?
