Dear People,
Time for some more affirmations to receive what you want in your life. So today's theme is about Receiving itself. We all want to receive in life: love, kindness, tolerance, money, joy, luck etc. etc. Even so, we often put restrictions on what we can receive or from whom. This can seriously reduce the receiving flow in our lives, so don't miss out and affirm away.
I write my affirmations in 3 different levels so you can see what resonates with you and what you want to work on.Pick and choose what works for you and affirm away (I recommend three times a day if you can manage it).
I am willing to receive
I am willing to receive from my loved one's
I am willing to receive from everybody
I am willing to receive
I allow myself to receive
I am open to receiving
I am willing to receive kindness
I am willing to receive tolerance
I am willing to receive love
I am willing to receive money
I am willing to receive friendship
I am willing to receive help
I receive
I receive wholeheartedly
I receive unconditionally

Some of you might have seen me promote Stichting Opkikker already, which is a wonderful organization that surprises families with a chronically ill child with a wonderful day. They have chosen to focus on families, as not only the child, but also parents and siblings have a difficult time too.
So it was only logical that I got questions recently about my volunteer work. I usually don't advertise much with it, but this topic is very dear to my heart having been a very sick child, so I wanted the organization to get as much exposure as possible.
Why I volunteer
I prefer to make a positive impact on the world and so volunteer work/charity work is a natural way to do that for me. There are so many organizations and initiatives to support that do good work. Joining with them makes for a wonderful time and a good contribution.
I used to work personally as a volunteer, but now I prefer to volunteer through my company. I love my job, so doing it more often, for free or for a small(er) fee really makes me happy.
What organizations do I pick
Sometimes I get asked to volunteer or donate to a good cause and sometimes I contact an organization myself. There are many worthwhile causes and only so much time and energy in the day, so I have to pick and choose what I do.
Usually my criteria are:
- The goal/cause of the organization is touches my heart. I need to feel like me and the organization are a match for me to donate time, energy or money.
- I trust the people or the organization is CBF or ANBI certified. I prefer working with organizations that are crystal clear with their finances and are well run.
- I can offer the organization something worthwhile due to my expertise
- I can make the time, energy or monetary commitment that is needed
Can I ask you to come help me or my organization?
Sure, ask away. I love getting volunteer requests and am always on the lookout how I can help the world get better. If you ask me for things not related to my business (for example: helping setting up things, doing administration etc.) it's less likely I will accept your request.
Even if it is related to what I do with my gifts please understand that I might not be able to accommodate your request. As all human beings, I have limited resources so I have to make the choices that are right for me. Nobody can say yes to everything and that certainly doesn't mean I don't care about your organization or request.
If you don't have a request, but want to help me set up or support my volunteer effort, please contact me. If I have somebody willing to share the burden of setting up, driving and/or other tasks, that really helps me out and allows me to do more. Whenever I get a request that seems like a good fit I'd certainly discuss it with you and see if it's a good fit for the both of us.
Have a good organization that you want me to look at? Post a comment on the Blog, Facebook Fan Page, send me an e-mail or talk to me in the practice.

Dear People,
Shame should be a signal that we have done something that we don't want to repeat. That we are learning our lesson: that something doesn't suit us and we won't repeat it. However, often shame arises even when we did nothing wrong, but feel responsible or when it feels like doing our best wasn't good enough. Once shame has a permanent place in our energy fields, it often means it will seriously impact our behavior as we feel too ashamed to move forward, forgive, heal or transform issues. So that's why today I'm writing EFT sentences on shame.
Shame as a healthy signal
Even though I feel ashamed, I'm willing to learn and move forward
Even though I feel ashamed, I allow shame to lift me up
Even though I feel ashamed, I allow myself to receive my inner wisdom
Even though I feel ashamed, I lovingly accept myself
Even though I feel ashamed, I will work to correct my mistakes
Even though I feel ashamed, I turn shame into wisdom
Letting go of old shame
Even though I still feel ashamed because of <situation X>, I choose to move forward
Even though I still feel ashamed because of <situation X>, I choose to learn my lesson
Even though I still feel ashamed because of <situation X>, I choose to transform my shame
Even though I still feel ashamed because of <situation X>, I choose to forgive myself
Even though I still feel ashamed because of <situation X>, I let go of the past
Learning the lesson
Even though I feel uncomfortable with my shame, I am willing to learn my lesson
Even though I feel tarnished by my shame, I'm willing to make amends/move forward
Even though I feel tarnished by my shame, I'm willing to feel innocent again
Even though I feel upset about <situation X>, I release my shame
Even though I don't like feeling shame, I acknowledge my lesson
Truth
Even though I feel very ashamed because of <situation X>, I choose to see my own role clearly
Even though I feel very ashamed because of <situation X>, I choose to see the circumstances
Even though I feel very ashamed because of <situation X>, I choose to see the role of others
Even though I feel very ashamed because of <situation X>, I choose to look with love
Even though I feel very ashamed because of <situation X>, I choose to see the truth
