Allowing vs Earning - Trusting the Flow of Receiving

Have you ever found yourself overthinking, worrying, or trying to “control” how things are going to work out, even though deep down you know the Universe always has your back? That was me just last week.

I had a day where my schedule felt packed to the brim: multiple air compression boot sessions plus Reiki sessions, all lined up back-to-back with no space in between. The days leading up to the day, I found myself running through all the “what ifs.” What if I’m too drained? What if I don’t have time to reset? What if I can’t give each client my full energy?

I even caught myself considering canceling one of the sessions to create breathing room. But something inside whispered, Wait. Don’t force this. Trust the flow. So instead, I made one small adjustment by shifting the last Reiki session by thirty minutes, which actually worked better for that client too.

Then, the morning of, I received a text: one of my clients had to cancel due to a family emergency. Just like that, space opened in my day. It all worked out perfectly, without me needing to stress, manipulate, or “fix” anything.

That day was yet another reminder of a lesson the Universe keeps showing me: we don’t have to earn support, time, or abundance by worrying, striving, or over pushing. Life flows much more smoothly when we step back and ALLOW it to. Allow is my new word 😍

When we’re in an “earning” mindset, we might believe:

• I’ll only deserve rest if I work myself to exhaustion.

• I can only receive abundance if I hustle nonstop.

• I’ll only get support if I prove I can’t do it on my own.

Sound familiar? These beliefs keep us stuck in stress, overthinking, and scarcity.

But “allowing" is different. Allowing says:

• I trust that what’s meant for me will align with ease.

• I open to receive support without having to prove or push.

• I know the Universe is orchestrating what I can’t see yet.

Allowing shifts us from control into trust, from forcing into flowing.

Most of us were raised in a culture that praises effort, achievement, and busyness. We’re taught that anything worth having must be “earned.” So when things fall into place easily, we almost don’t trust it. We look for the catch.

But here’s the truth: the flow of life isn’t about earning, it’s about aligning. The more we trust, the more space we create for miracles, synchronicities, and ease to show up.

That canceled session on my busy Thursday wasn’t coincidence, it was alignment. And it reminded me (again!) that my job isn’t to control every detail, but to show up, stay open, and allow things to unfold. ✨

Take a moment to ask yourself:

• Where in my life am I trying to “earn” what could simply be received?

• What am I holding onto that would feel lighter if I trusted the flow instead?

• How would my day feel if I allowed more and worried less?

Even just noticing where you’re in an earning mindset can begin to shift your energy.

Life is always showing us that we don’t need to spend so much energy worrying about how things will work out because they always do. When we shift from earning to allowing, we free ourselves to receive with grace, ease, and trust.

The Universe has your back. You don’t have to push so hard. You don’t have to prove your worth. You only have to allow what’s already waiting for you.

So this month, I invite you to soften. Let go of the need to control every detail. Breathe a little deeper. Trust a little more. And watch how life unfolds when you simply allow. MAGIC!
