Energy Blocks: Why You Can't Receive What You Create (And How to Change It)

Today I was harvesting strawberries in my garden. Several red, perfect, ripe strawberries. And while collecting them, a revelation struck me that I need to share with you.

Many of us grow up learning that constant productivity equals worth - that rest is somehow wrong, that you must earn every moment of pleasure through hard work.

And I believed this for years.

I was one of those people who live creating their entire lives but completely forget how to receive. Who believe in sacrifice as virtue. Who feel guilty even for enjoying a strawberry they planted themselves.

But today I want to tell you why this changed - and why your energy blocks might be keeping you from the abundance you've already created.

The Discovery That Changed Everything

There, with those strawberries in my hands, I realized:

I had spent years creating good things in my life, but when it came time to enjoy them, something blocked me internally.

It was always the same mental conversation: "I haven't finished everything yet," "There are people in need," "Should I really do this?"

If you identify with this, if you're one of those people who:

• Can't take vacation without guilt

• When you rest, you feel anxious about organizing/cleaning

• Live doing everything for everyone but don't know how to receive

• Save money your whole life but never allow yourself to spend it

If you identify with those, you were programmed like I was: to constantly produce, but never receive.

The Science Behind This Pattern

What I discovered is that I carried inherited patterns from generations. That grandmother who "couldn't stop even for a minute." The grandfather who "worked until he died." The mother who "sacrificed for the family."

Invisible inheritances that created an internal program: I can only rest when everything is finished.

The problem? The list never ends.

For years I lived in this cycle. Working, dedicating myself, helping, creating... but always with the sensation that I couldn't stop to savour anything.

This is what consciousness researchers call "chronic productivity patterns" - deeply embedded neural pathways that block our natural capacity to receive.

What Changed For Me

The realization hit when I understood: I already had enough credit.

How many seeds had I already planted? How many people had I already helped? How much work had I already delivered? How much love had I already given?

The account was never in the red. Never.

The strawberries had been ripe for a long time. I just wasn't allowing myself to harvest them.

Just like all the moments of pleasure, rest, and abundance that I fought to create but didn't allow myself to live.

How to Identify Energy Blocks in Your Life

I was planting but not harvesting when:

• I earned money but felt guilty spending it on myself

• I received compliments but deflected with "oh, it was nothing"

• I had achievements but was already focused on the next goal

• I felt anxiety when I wasn't "producing"

This is one of the most common energy blocks I see: the inability to receive what you yourself created.

From a quantum consciousness perspective, this creates a dissonance in your energy field - you're simultaneously creating and rejecting abundance.

How I Started Breaking This Pattern

I Started Small

I accepted a compliment without deflecting. I had coffee without rushing. I bought that skirt I wanted, not the one in promotion.

I discovered that receiving is a skill developed through practice.

I questioned the Guilt

Every time it appeared, I asked: "Where does this voice come from? Is it mine or was it learned?"

Spoiler: it was almost always learned.

I Recognized My Credits

I stopped to count how many good things I had already done. How much I had already given. How much I had already built.

I gave myself permission to savour my own life.

When I Needed Help

Some blocks were so deep they came from ancestral records, family programming, fragmented consciousness patterns.

It wasn't my fault. It was information that needed to be cleared.

It was through deep energetic work that I managed to unlock these flows and finally learn to harvest what I was planting.

The Season Is Now

Those strawberries weren't waiting for me to "deserve" to harvest them. They were ready, ripe, waiting for me.

Just like so many gifts around you right now.

The question isn't whether you deserve it. The question is: will you let it rot on the plant while waiting for the "right moment"?

Life wants to give you abundance.

And I learned that I can receive it without guilt.

You can too.

If this post moved something in you, it's a sign that something wants to shift. How about starting today by harvesting at least one small gift in your life?
