Creating Abundance
In Your Life
RIGHT NOW
Look for abundance and you will find it everywhere...
Do you think the woman in this picture is FEELING abundance?
The woman is my daughter, Shawna. She is creating abundance in her life just by standing on a rock! Look at it ~ The rock, the rainbow, the colors ~ all of these things bring forth FEELINGS of abundance.
Abundance is a feeling. And that feeling is something that you can create.
The first step to creating abundance in your life? It's knowing what abundance is. We all have different definitions and the basic definition is:
a·bun·dance "more than adequate supply, overflowing"
You need to define for yourself what that means to you. What does "more than enough" feel like?
It is different for everyone. Think for a moment and see if anything comes up for you. Remember that it is a feeling. When have you ever felt abundance?
It is not: "I will be abundant when I get..." or it is not: " I will be abundant when ... happens".
There is Abundance in the Universe
There is abundance in all things. Most of us think of financial abundance, which is certainly available to all of us, but I want you to also think about the abundance that flows in other areas of your life.
Are you creating abundance in your life when you think about:
The love of your family
The beauty in nature
The gifts of friendship
Your health and the health of your family
The smell of a rose
The sheer amount of stars in the night sky
Close your eyes, breathe into those feelings and take a moment to find the abundance in your life. You are creating abundance in your life just by focusing on what you already have. Know that you are already wealthy. Creating abundance is all about knowing what you already have. Creating abundance is all about seeing what you already have. And then feeling it.

The Secret!
Here is the first “secret” to creating abundance in your life. Focus on the abundance that already flows through your life. Take time each day to remind yourself of the abundance in your life. If you do this, there is no way for you to come from poverty.
What I mean by coming from poverty is thinking in terms of lack, which is the definition of bankrupt.
Coming from poverty means thinking thoughts like "I couldn't possibly take a walk on the beach today because I just don't have enough time"or"I would never be able to get that job because I'm just not smart enough"or"easy for you to be happy, you've got it all"or"I could never afford to do..."
Get the idea? How many times a day do you think like that? I bet you know exactly what those thoughts feel like.
I know that when I get into that mode, I can spiral down so fast that it seems there is nothing in my life that's good, let alone abundant.
I would love for you to contact me and let me know ways that you come from poverty. We can brainstorm together and find a way to turn that around and create abundance in your life.
Like Attracts Like
One of the really cool stories that I heard was from someone who was walking down the street with her husband in Hawaii. This is creating abundance in life!
They noticed that some of the parking meters on the street were about to expire. They started inserting coins into all of the meters - what a great idea! This is coming from abundance. And it is attracting more of that feeling into their lives. Some people may think "well that schmuck deserves to get at ticket - or whatever"...That type of thought comes from poverty.
You know that like attracts like. Negative thoughts attract more negative thoughts (and other people who think negative thoughts). So, abundance attracts more abundance, poverty attracts more poverty. It’s the way the universe works. It is considered one of the
laws of the universe.
Creating abundance in your life, in whatever area, means you must take responsibility for your own thoughts. This means that you must control your negative thinking.
Negative thinking acts as an abundance deflector, actually impeding or stopping the flow of abundance. It is just the opposite of creating abundance. Doesn't that makes sense since abundance is energy and thoughts are energy?
When you can clear out negative thinking, you will create an opening for abundance to flow to you. It is one of the main ingrediants to being able to create abundance in your life.
What if you were to make a conscious decision each day to release negative thoughts and replace them with acceptance, love and kindness?
A common example is waiting in line. I know that I used to hate to wait in line for anything. What a time waster!
Do you know how much negative energy is happening in lines? We are all feeding on each others negative energy as we wait and our thoughts start to spiral downward.
I used to think about what else I could be doing, how slow that person is in front of me, how poorly run this business is to keep me waiting in line and on and on. The saddest part was it would usually go to my negative thoughts about the other people who were also waiting in line. I was sending these people my negative energy.
That is not who I want to be. I decided to change that. I could change my belief about what it means to wait in line. First, I accept that what I am doing is waiting in line. There is no "this is good" or "this is bad". It just is.
Now that I am waiting in line, what can I do to enjoy this time? I can notice other people and the diversity that is all around me. I can smile at the kids playing in line, rather think nasty thoughts about their upbringing. I can quietly meditate. Or I can think about how I want the rest of my day to go. I can slow down and think about what I can do for someone I love.
In this frame of mind, I am now open for abundance and infinite possibilities. I am open to life flowing. I am open to seeing the good in all things. I am open to attracting like minded people - well, I am always attracting like minded people - I am open to attracting people who are also practicing an abundant lifestyle.
What is an abundant lifestyle? Well, think about how you live when you have abundance in something. You have so much of it you just give it away without even thinking about it. And you just keep getting more back.
The same is true when you live and think from poverty. Are you living in poverty? Do you find that you hoard what you have and keep things to yourself? That you don’t give generously? Something that I have noticed about giving is that it really benefits the giver. Doesn't it feel really good when you give? And haven't you noticed that when you share, more comes back?
How can you change coming from bankruptcy (poverty) into coming from abundance?
How can you create abundance?
Think of ways to give back. If you don’t have the financial resources available to you right now, give your time and energy.
Be a volunteer. Find a project that will help your community. These two kids on the left are distributing Thanksgiving baskets filled with food to those in need. There is nothing that will get you out of your problems faster than helping others with their problems. Do this and you will automatically create abundance in your life.
At the same time you can begin to
change your thoughts.
As those pesky poverty driven thoughts start to creep in, catch it and change it. The only thing that you really have control over in life is your thoughts. When you get that, you will be amazed at how your life will turn around and you will find that creating abundance in your life is fun and worth it!
