The world is an abundant place and your natural state is one of abundance. When you are living in abundance you are connected to the flow of life. You are connected to Source Energy. That’s the way life is meant to be. As you go through a process of self transformation, you are opening your self to the free flow of energy. Your life becomes abundant. Abundance means having plenty. Plenty of whatever you want. This is not to be confused with having just enough, which is a lesser state of being. Having plenty means having a reserve. One of my best friends has somehow always known this law. She knows that her world is always fine and she always has more than she ever needs. She truly feels at the depth of her soul that she has plenty. That is in fact her reality. She does not “settle” for a mediocre life either. Her life is truly full of love, adventure, and total joy. She has a beautiful home, a wonderful man, a caring family, and a very secure and lucrative job. I had to learn to apply this in my life,
because my main theme was “it’s never enough”. I never felt that I was enough. If I was a size 5, I wanted to be a size 3. When I became a size 3, I then wanted to be a size 2. Then when I was size 2, I wanted to look like Cheryl Cole. No matter what my body looked like, it was never enough. In my past relationships, no matter how much my partners gave me, it just wasn’t enough. I was always focused on the lack of what I thought I should receive. My partners always felt they were not good enough or felt defeated, because in my mind, they weren’t enough. I know that most of the clients that I work with are also not familiar with “I have plenty”. But, there is hope.
I am now totally satisfied and fulfilled in my life. This took work on my mind. I trained my own mind to think thoughts of lack and limitation to thoughts of sufficiency and abundance. I love and appreciate my body. I have an amazing partner who gives me so much love and affection that it makes my heart overflow. I have an amazing career where I get to empower others to live their best life, while making an amazing living! I get to take the most wonderful trips all over the world. My relationships with my friends and family are of respect, admiration, and love. I truly feel so abundant! So, how do you free yourself to live more fully and to live an abundant life? There are simple things we can do – they don’t take time or money – they only take a change of attitude.
Here are a few of the steps to an abundant life.
1. Be grateful for what you already have in your life right now. Focus on the good that is already in your life. It’s easy to think about what you don’t have, but spend some time each day, thinking about what you do have. Start each day by thinking about 5 things that you are grateful for. When you think of each thing, really FEEL the gratitude inside your body. Everything is energy and when you really use your energy in your body, it is reflected outside of you. When you show the Universe that you are already grateful and can appreciate all that it has already given you, it will give you more. Think of a small child. If you gave this child a gift and he/she brushed you off and didn’t show you any gratitude, how excited would you be about getting this child another gift? Probably not very! Now, think about if you gave this child a gift and
he/she was so grateful. He/she gave you a huge hug and said, “Thank you. Thank you.Thank you!” You will feel more inclined to give this child another gift, and very soon.
The Universe is the same way. Have gratitude for what you already have, and the Universe will deliver you more.
2. Create a vacuum so that more good things can flow into your life. Don’t fill your life up with things you don’t really want. Ask yourself if you want each thing before you buy it. Don’t have an abundance of “stuff”, live an abundant life by seeking out the things and experiences that work for you in your core being. Clean out what you are no longer using or need. Clean out closets, desks, etc. Let go of what you no longer want to make way for the new. Eliminate drains and waste. Eliminate useless expenditures. Release all thoughts, words, beliefs, and actions that are not abundant.
3. Forgive those that have wronged you. When you hold on to your anger, however justifiable it may seem, it only hurts you, not the person you are angry at. It also keeps you stuck in the past, rather than going forward into a better future. A great tool to release your anger and let go of any negative feelings is to write a letter expressing yourself. Write until you feel you have no more anger inside of you, and then burn it. Forgive those who have taken from you or hurt you. Invest 3 minutes a day in forgiving. “I forgive and wish them well and wish them away.”
