[00:00:00] Have you ever wondered how to talk to your creations? Welcome to Tools to Create a Better Life with myself, Glenyce Hughes. Thank you so much for being here. I’m so incredibly grateful for you.
[00:00:14] This week, we are talking about how to talk to your creations. It’s actually an invite to my upcoming membership, which is a monthly membership so you can start whenever, end whenever. It’s called “Real Conversations, Real Change.”
Basically, what I’ll be doing is exactly what I’m gonna share in this show. I’ll share a little bit of a tidbit of inspiration that I received that week, whatever it might be. Today happens to be about creativity and creations and communing. Something, of course, I’ve talked about a lot over the years if you’ve hung around me. If you’re new here, welcome!
[00:00:54] The source for my inspiration I will, of course, share it, also. But if you would like the links until you can listen in, it is going to be in the show notes. Make sure to go check those out.
If you don’t know, you can grab the show notes from the last, I’m not sure when we started them, a year ago? Six months ago? I’m not sure… for all the radio shows on my webpage. And then also if you’re on my weekly email, you get them delivered to you every Sunday.
[00:01:22] The inspiration for today’s show is from a YouTube video. It’s actually a TED Talk from Elizabeth Gilbert and it’s called “Your Elusive Creative Genius.” The snippet that I wanna talk about today is where she talks about a poet called Ruth Stone.
[00:01:41] Ruth had shared how when she was working on the farm in the fields in West Virginia, she would perceive a poem coming towards her, like, energetically coming towards her over the hills. She knew in order for her to be able to write out the poem, she had to get a pen and paper, meaning she had to run into the house and get the pen and the paper to write down the poem as it came over the hills to her.
That alone, to me, is just freaking amazing. I’ll speak more to that, but I also wanna finish the last piece.
[00:02:22] There were times where she would miss it. She would get to the house with the pen and the paper and it would be past her, on the way to another poet. Yeah. She would also have — there was at least one time, I don’t recall if there were many times or whatever, it doesn’t matter — where she got there just in time where she was able to energetically grab the end of the poem and she wrote it backwards.
Whoa. Whoa.
[00:02:58] This story has inspired me for years. I have watched that TED talk multiple times. I have tapped into the energy of that, especially with what Ruth is talking about where the creation is coming to her. This is what I wanna share with you.
[00:03:16] When we look at like how to be more creative or how to really tap into that, the biggest piece for me personally is to recognize that that creation is not just for me. I often use the terminology “the creation knocks on my door.” If that creation knocks on my door and if I don’t open it, it’s gonna find someone else’s door to knock on.
[00:03:46] When I first heard that, it gave me so much space to really recognize that I’m not the creation. The creation isn’t mine. The creation came to me. It knocked on my door, and then I either chose to co-create with it or I didn’t, or maybe I chose to co-create with it a little bit, whatever. It doesn’t matter.
[00:04:11] Recognizing that has allowed me to take the pressure off. There’s no pressure with that because much like for Ruth, as that poem goes by her and if she misses it, it’s just going to another place. It’s still gonna get written.
Oh my goodness.
[00:04:31] Look at that in your own life. Look at those times where maybe you were aware in a sense that it knocked on your door. Maybe there was a business idea or something. If you do run a business, something within the business that you were aware of, but you didn’t choose it.
Let yourself off the hook.
Like, hello? It went to somebody else. We get to choose and it gets to choose. The creation comes and knocks on the door.
[00:05:01] This is the way I see it: it knocks on the door of the person who it knows can co-create with it. I’m gonna use my terminology: knows it can co-create magic with it. It comes to us, but then if we don’t answer, it’s just gonna go find somebody else it can co-create magic with.
[00:05:22] That’s one piece that has just allowed me so much more space when I’m creating because I have a lot of creations come to me. I should probably start counting, but I would say probably 25 a day, 50 a day. I mean, there are so many things.
[00:05:41] All these years later, I can totally acknowledge when they’re knocking. I can even sometimes perceive like what Ruth talks about. She could perceive it coming over the hill. I don’t have it like coming over the hill. I’m not often working out in the fields. I’m never working out in the fields. I’m swimming in my pool sometimes, although I haven’t for months now because of the winter. It’s just spring now. Anyway, I digress.
[00:06:07] And so I can perceive it energetically out there. I know something’s coming. I don’t know what it is, but I can perceive it letting me know it’s coming. That in itself, and then whether I choose to answer or not is totally up to me and I love that. And then if I do answer the door, I’m no longer trying to do it by myself.
[00:06:34] When that creation knocks, what I used to do — I mean one, I didn’t even know it was knocking. I just saw it as, you know, me came coming up with a great idea and then me taking action and doing it all. Notice that – doing it all.
[00:06:48] It’s such a different energy because it’s like, “It knocked on my door so it’s aware that we can co-create magic together,” which means it would like to gift also. It’s gifting and receiving. And I get to gift and receive also, but I’m not doing it by myself. There is a lot of other energies – just the creation itself and all the other energies, the universe, everything that are willing to gift and receive and receive and gift. It’s all about that.
[00:07:21] It’s all about receiving to me. The knock on the door, the choosing it if it’s a “yes” and if it feels yummy, if it’s expansive, and then receiving from everything that will co-create with us, so to speak, to get it out in the world.
[00:07:38] That’s such a different way to create instead of, again, maybe you never did this, but for me it was always, “What do I have to figure out to do next?” and then “How can I do it all by myself?” I was just not receiving very much at all. I was receiving some, because I was still receiving the creation. I just didn’t acknowledge exactly what it was. I just thought it was me thinking some great ideas.
[00:08:07] That’s fine too, however you wanna do it. But if you would like more ease with the creation, if you would like to have way more fun, if you would like to really gift and receive the magic that’s possible, allow it to have a voice. Allow it to commune with you.
[00:08:24] You could say “talk to you.” Sometimes I will use that terminology. I’ll say “talk to it,” but it’s more of a communion. It’s more of a gifting and a receiving, and I will ask it.
[00:08:38] If I had a knock on my door for a new class, “Okay, cool. So, when?” and I would look at my calendar. Not look at my calendar as to when does it wanna be and that’s the only thing. No.
[00:08:50] I’m looking at my calendar, looking at when it would work for me, and then also asking the creation, looking at the dates that work for me. Okay. so when? We’re co-creating, with price and all of that. I mean, I play with all of those pieces and I include it and I include me too, which is a very different way to create for most of us.
[00:09:15] I wonder what magic might be possible in your everyday life — I’m talking about creations and a lot of times people assume that’s business. It’s not. I mean, we’re currently selling our beautiful acreage. That’s a creation, too. I could do it all myself or put it onto my realtor, it’s all his job – he needs it, or I could see it as this beautiful co-creation.
[00:09:36] Before we even talked to a realtor, the first thing I did was say, “Hey, acreage, house, whatever you want to call it… are you done with us?”
I got a huge “yes.” It was done with us.
I get that it so desires kids, which was really interesting because the previous acreage that we had was the same energy when it was complete with us. It wanted the kid energy around, and I get that for this place, too. So I was like, cool. Okay.
[00:10:06] I co-create with it. I ask it. Yes, it’s done with us. Okay. “So then, can you bring in who you would like to own?” which sounds funny. But if you look at the things that you “own,” you don’t. No, you’re working for them. I’ve been paying the mortgage here. The house was not paying the mortgage, so the house owns us. It’s a totally different energy.
[00:10:31] That’s very similar with creations. They’re a different energy than us. They have their own consciousness, so let’s co-create with them as if by magic.
[00:10:42] If we were in the membership call right now, this is where I would open it up for discussion where you could ask questions, where you could give your ideas, or maybe your own experiences where you created and commune and all of that. It becomes this, again, real conversations, real change.
[00:11:02] You would leave every membership call with a handout. On there, there’s gonna be whatever tools we talked about. There’s also gonna be a link to the inspiration so that you can listen to the full thing, whatever it is.
[00:11:16] In this case, it’s an audio or video I should say. In other cases, it might be a blurb from a book, so it’ll be a link to the book. There will be times where it might be just a conversation that I had with a friend or maybe with a client. Those things, obviously I won’t have links to those, you know? If it was a client conversation. I don’t actually record my friendship conversation so you wouldn’t get a link there, but you would get a writing of it just to be able to read it basically.
[00:11:46] I would love for you to come and join us on “Real Conversations, Real Change” Monthly Membership. You can start anytime. You can end any time. If you get in before March 31, you will get a $50 USD credit to my #asifbymagic Shopify store, just for being one of the first ones in. If you can’t find the link above or below, just reach out and I will get that link for you.
[00:12:13] Have a great week, everybody. I look forward to chatting again next week.

RADIO SHOW TRANSCRIPT
Would you like the PDF of these show notes?
They are sent out each week to everyone on my mailing list!
[00:00:00] Have you ever wondered why you reject money? If so, stick around. Welcome to Tools to Create a Better Life. My name is Glenyce Hughes and I am so incredibly grateful that you are here.
[00:00:13] Yeah. Why you reject money and how to stop. I know. This is something that a lot of times we’re not even aware that we’re doing it because it can show up in so many different ways. We could be not receiving compliments. That’s a way of rejecting money.
[00:00:31] We could not be allowing people to gift us. Maybe they would like to take us out for dinner. Maybe we go, but in our mind we’re going, “Okay, I’ll take them out for dinner next week.” We find that way to not receive it, basically. We’re figuring out how to give it back. How to boomerang it, so to speak. There’s so many different ways that we can reject money.
[00:00:56] What you wanna start paying attention to is if that’s what you’re doing. Maybe you recognize that every time, if you have a business, let’s say, and you have a new client phone you. They’re asking if what you do could help them with something that they’ve got going on, and you automatically refer them on. That might be a way of rejecting money.
[00:01:18] Let me tell you how that showed up for me.
When I first started my business over 20 years ago, I would have people phone me just like that. They’d phone, and at the time I was doing reiki sessions and clinical hypnotherapy sessions.
[00:01:31] They would phone and they’d say, “Hey, I’ve got sciatica. Have you ever had success with reiki, with sciatica?”
I would say, “No, but do you know what? I know somebody who could help you,” and I would refer them on.
Now, that’s great if that’s actually true in the moment. But referring everyone on does not make a good business, my friends.
[00:01:53] That was one of the ways that I was rejecting money. I wasn’t willing to receive it. I wasn’t willing to receive them coming in. I wasn’t willing to receive, maybe me not being able to assist them with reiki or whatever they were asking about. We just wanna start paying attention to that.
[00:02:10] Now, the title of the show: “Why You Reject Money.” That’s a pretty blanket statement. Every one of us is gonna be a little bit different. But ultimately, receiving money is about receiving. Receiving.
[00:02:25] To receive money, we have to have a level of receiving that possibly is more than we’ve been willing, or maybe more than what people around us have been willing.
[00:02:37] We reject it (money) right away as a way to ensure that the people around us are comfortable with how much money we’re receiving. To ensure that we don’t receive more than we’re supposed to. Whatever the heck that means. There’s so many different energies.
[00:02:53] But one of the ones in all of the hundreds of thousands of people that I have worked with over the years, I would say the most common is they reject money because the value is in the story as to why they don’t have it than the value being in to actually choosing it.
[00:03:17] So, what does that mean?
If we have a story that we don’t have money because of a recession or a potential recession that’s going on — it’s one that we’re hearing quite often now at the time of recording.
[00:03:33] If we’re telling that story, if we’re saying, “My business is not bringing in the money,” or “My employer can’t pay me more because… ,” that’s a pretty quick notice, guys, that there’s a story going on. When you go to “because,” stop. Stop. That’s a story.
[00:03:54] If you really wanna change it, I mean TRULY change it — most people don’t. Maybe you’re different. Just for you. You don’t need to be saying this out loud to other people because it’s gonna sound weird. But what I’d like you to start doing is actually acknowledging what is true.
[00:04:13] Let’s say you are employed. You’ve asked your employer for money, and they say, “We don’t have the money for it because of the recession,” or whatever story they wanna give you.
[00:04:23] You want to say to you, “I don’t have more money because I’m not choosing more money” instead of “I don’t have more money because my employer isn’t paying me more because of a recession.”
[00:04:41] Can you get the difference between the two? The latter one, it makes you a victim. You can’t change that. What you can change is your choice.
[00:04:51] Now, does that mean that you’re gonna say, “I don’t have money because I’m choosing not to have more money,” and then suddenly it changes? I mean, it could, but chances are when you acknowledge what is, you acknowledge you are the creator of your money, then you might go, “Huh. Okay. Since that employer has said no to anymore, then what else? What else is possible?” You start actually going into question.
[00:05:17] Maybe you go find a totally different employment. Maybe you add on. Maybe there’s something that you love doing that you would add on to the side that would really contribute. There’s a bazillion ways to receive more money if you’re not in the story of whatever the “because” is.
[00:05:36] This is something you really wanna look at if you’re willing to change it. Remember, this is why you’re rejecting money and how to stop it. That’s number one.
[00:05:44] Start calling it like it is. “I don’t have more money because I’m not choosing more money.” That’s the only thing that you know to be true. You can’t say it’s because of the economy, because of your employer, because of business… STOP. All of that is giving up your power and you end up being a victim, and so it is. That’s the way it is for you.
[00:06:09] This is something that, I mean, I keep saying you, but please know, this is something that I have really shifted and changed with myself over the years. It’s to acknowledge what I am choosing and to acknowledge what I’m not choosing.
[00:06:23] When I’m not choosing it, I just acknowledge it. It’s not right, it’s not wrong. You’re not supposed to be doing something. You get to choose every 10 seconds. You get to choose every second you get to choose. You wanna look at that and really be present with that and call it like it is.
[00:06:39] Again, just for you. Announcing that to your friends and family might sound really weird, but you get to choose it for you. You get to acknowledge for you.
“Okay, I’m not choosing that right now.”
Ah… now, what else is possible? Now you can ask more questions.
[00:06:55] I would love to invite you to an upcoming class that I’ve got called “Money Does Not Give a Fuck.” It is all about this. It is all about getting out of pathetic, out of the lack, out of the scarcity, and into the potent creator of magnitude that you truly be. It is on April 1. If you’re listening to this or watching this later, the replay will be available. It’s $50 USD for the call, my sweet friends.
[00:07:24] We’re gonna be using a lot of the new stuff that came out in the recent Global Foundation at Access Consciousness®. Oh my goodness. Presumptive realities and needs of reactive reality. I mean, all the stuff. So, come and join us. You’ll find the link above or below. If you don’t see a link, reach out and I will get it for you.
[00:07:42] With the changing of it, the stopping of rejecting money, really acknowledging what is true in that moment, the other thing that you wanna do with that is just be really present with when you are rejecting money. It doesn’t mean you have to not reject it. You don’t have to force yourself.
[00:08:03] But if you could start acknowledging – let’s say a friend comes up to you and they just say, “Wow, I just love your outfit. That is amazing!”
[00:08:11] If you aren’t able to receive that, if it’s really difficult — compliments are a tough thing for a lot of people to receive. If you know that, you just wanna acknowledge for you that you’re rejecting it and that’s okay. Just acknowledge it. That’s the first step.
[00:08:29] And then maybe when you’re on your own, you could really look at that and really look at what you could actually create if you received it. If you did drop those walls and barriers, that separation and just really receive their compliment.
[00:08:43] Now, compliments can sometimes be a bit tricky. Sometimes, when people are giving us a compliment, there isn’t a compliment there. Sometimes, there’s secret agendas attached. There’s lies attached. There’s some unkindness attached.
[00:08:59] You just wanna be present and really aware of what you’re choosing in that moment. If it is a rejection, if it’s just so difficult to receive it, just smile and nod or say “thank you” or do whatever, and get present with it.
[00:09:18] I get a lot of compliments out in the world. It’s really interesting. If I go out shopping and they can be about my glasses because as many of you know, I have lots of different pairs of glasses. It can be about the clothes I’m wearing. It can be about my hair. It is the most random stuff that people will come up to me and just tell me how great, whatever it is, looks, or how much they love it or whatever it is.
[00:09:45] I used to really struggle with that because, well, I did. I just really wasn’t willing to receive it. I was rejecting it. I was rejecting it, and it was really about being an allowance of it.
[00:10:00] The other thing that I had to do is acknowledge what was really going on. They say they like my glasses, my hair, whatever. What they’re aware of with me — most people, not everybody, but most people — is the difference of me. The energy that I be. The contribution that I be in those places and spaces. That’s the way that they acknowledge it. It’s the only way we know in this reality.
[00:10:29] It’s such a really cool energy because that’s what I realized a lot of that kind of rejection was from that it felt funky. It was like what they were saying didn’t really match the energy. Once I acknowledged what was really going on, then it’s like there’s a total match of the energy. It might be something like that for you, also.
[00:10:50] There might be something that you’re actually getting complimented on that isn’t maybe given words to. So, something to keep in mind with that.
[00:10:58] So, some home play for you. Start paying attention to when you’re rejecting money. You could see it even more openly rejecting energy, like the compliments, the dinner, the hug, whatever. Start paying attention. Start calling it like it is. Stop telling the stories. And then, start being in allowance. Start being present. Start being open to receiving even more.
[00:11:25] And come and join us for “Money Does Not Give a Fuck“! I would love to see you there. Have a wonderful week, sweet friends. I look forward to chatting again next week.
