RECEIVE FROM OVERFLOW
RECEIVERSHIP = NERVOUS SYSTEM CAPACITY
When something comes into your life, especially something you’ve been wanting or
even praying for… it creates energetic movement. For example, more money can mean
more responsibility, more visibility can mean more eyes on you, and receiving more
support can mean being seen in ways you’re not used to.
Even if this is what you prayed for or deeply desire, it’s still new. And something new to
the subconscious and nervous system means potential risk until proven otherwise, and
there’s actual biology behind this. Your nervous system is constantly scanning your
environment through something called neuroception (this happens below conscious
awareness). It’s always scanning for what is familiar.
So when your nervous system doesn’t feel fully safe receiving something, it typically
moves into one of three patterns, and this is where behavior starts to make a lot more
sense.
Pattern number one is the fight / flight response. This is when your system
speeds up and you find yourself doing more, thinking more,or trying to
control more. But here’s the catch, when you’re in this state, you’re not actually
receiving. Some of the behaviors look like-
- overworking
- Overthinking
- trying to “lock in” results
- feeling like you can’t relax
- “I’ll just do it myself”
Pattern number two is the nervous system freeze response. This is the
opposite of the first response and this is where your nervous system pulls
back. If it feels like you are under too much pressure or overwhelm the body
will pump the brakes into freeze. Some of the behaviors of this can look like-
●not responding
●avoiding things you care about
●feeling disconnected or numb
●procrastinating without knowing why
●losing clarity
Pattern number three is the fawn nervous system response and this one is a
little more subtle. This is where you’re technically receiving, but only in a way
that keeps you safe and liked.Some of the behaviors of this can look like-
●focusing on everyone else
●over-giving
●people-pleasing
●deflecting compliments
●only receiving after you’ve “earned it”
