Not Feeling Prosperous? Read This!
Many of you reading this have heard about “Metaphysics” or the “Law of Attraction.” Perhaps you’ve seen the movie, “The Secret.” Or you’re a fan of Esther Hicks and “Abraham.” Or you’ve read one of the myriad books on the topic.
I’ve been studying this thing called metaphysics for a good part of my life. I find the theory fascinating — that what we predominately focus on, we attract into our lives. The most frequently used methods are to visualize our desired outcome and to say affirmations. However, the question I hear from my clients is, “What am I doing wrong? What I want isn’t showing up!”
In this time of economic upset, many of us are trying to use these Universal laws to attract prosperity. It’s more than frustrating when the money we hope for doesn’t come to us. Here are 5 ideas for creating a wealth mentality:
Expect Prosperity
I believe that the Universe is a vast, magnificent system of abundance. The way we receive this wealth is through ideas, thoughts and opportunities. It also comes through connections to people, events and circumstances. God doesn’t just come out of the heavens and say, “You there! Good job! Here’s a check for a million dollars.” Instead, we are given ideas to grow a profitable new business. Or we get a job where we can learn new things and be able to contribute to our community. To help you with this concept, I’ve created an abundance program called “Divine Prosperity.” I’m unveiling it on June 4. Read more about it here!
Ask for Divine assistance
Write a list of what you need right now. Don’t try to figure out how these things will come to you. Allow the Universe to do what it does best — create miracles. Keep your focus on what you want, not on what you don’t want. Maintain an attitude of surrender about how it will come to you. The Universe has been known to create minor miracles such as causing the sun to come up every morning and go down every night. Perhaps you might allow it to help you create an answer to your personal financial needs right now.
Brainstorm some possibilities.
Get a paper and pen or put fingers to your keyboard and begin writing down every possible solution that pops into your mind. Do this once a day for thirty days. Ask your intuition questions as you write. “How can I create immediate cash right now?” “What’s the best course of action to help me (fill in the blank?”) “What can I do that would be most helpful for me right now?” If you’re feeling stuck, call some supportive (and positive) friends and invite them to a potluck meal and prosperity brainstorming party. The more ideas, the merrier!
Take action on the answers you receive.
Don’t overwhelm yourself. Break the tasks down so that you’re taking at least three action steps a day. If more (or less) feels comfortable to you, that’s fine too. You are putting energy out towards what you want to create. Take action only on those items that feel interesting and energizing. If you feel drained and depleted when contemplating an action, don’t do it. Those responses are your intuition at work, pointing you away from the wrong direction. Keep a journal of each task that you’ve completed, including some of the less tangible ones. There’s something very comforting in seeing a list of accomplishments when you’re down on yourself and feel that you’re not “doing enough.”
Make a commitment to stay positive.
We all have habits of unconstructive thoughts that we repeat to ourselves when we’re under pressure. What thoughts do you have? A common one I hear often is, “I’m so stressed out!” Be vigilant about nipping those negative thought spirals in the bud. Pessimistic thinking often precedes an emotional crash and you can’t afford one of those when you’re in a financial crisis. Following are some prosperity-affirming thoughts that will help you stay positive. Pick one that works for you. The intention is to make you feel better so you can stay open to incoming intuitive guidance that will lead you out of the current situation. “This is just temporary; things are beginning to turn around.” “I am open to new avenues of prosperity.” “I live in an abundant Universe; I have everything I need.” “Money flows to me from all directions.” Write down several statements that make you feel better and replace those nasty negative thoughts with some good ones.
Often all it takes are very simple shifts of attitude to invite prosperity into your life. Give some or all of the above ideas a try and see what happens. I’d love to hear from you about any and all techniques you’ve tried. What has worked for you?
May you live long and prosper!
