First step to a “Gratitude Attitude”

Few things can affect your overall quality of life as powerfully as your attitude can.  Your attitude affects your career, your relationships, your hobbies, and even your financial status.  Most people discover that when they improve their attitude, everything else in their lives seems to improve also. A daily practice of gratitude is one simple way to give yourself a painless attitude adjustment because it reduces your temptation to focus on more “negative” mind-sets.  When you feel grateful it is nearly impossible to feel frustrated, sad, empty, or disconnected.  A negative focus and a gratitude focus cannot co-exist!  They are opposites and will repel each other.

Here are a few suggestions for using gratitude to improve your attitude:

1. Use gratitude to blot out unproductive feelings. Sometimes we just get into a “funk” without knowing why.  We wake up one morning and realize that we’ve lost our zest for life and a numb disinterest has taken its place.  To turn this around, find something to be grateful for.  Just one tiny thing is enough!  Begin focusing on this thing as often as you can during the day, but most especially when that feeling of boredom or disinterest comes over you.  Let a feeling of strong gratitude flood through your body, and you will shift to a more positive attitude almost immediately.
2. Begin expressing gratitude for the people around you each day. Is your co-worker getting on your nerves?  Find one thing about her you can be grateful for, and focus all of your attention on that when you start to feel annoyed.  Remind yourself that everyone has both positive and negative personality traits – and you will encourage more displays of whatever you focus on!  Focus on the positive traits of the people you encounter daily and watch as it transforms your interactions into mutually beneficial connections.
3. Become an optimist with the help of gratitude. Do you find yourself in the habit of always expecting the worst?  When you become aware that you have shifted into a pessimistic mind-set, consciously choose to shift into grateful optimism.  For example, if you catch yourself saying something like this, “My boss doesn’t appreciate anything I do so I probably won’t get a raise this year” – stop and turn that thought into something like this:  “I always do my absolute best for the company, and my commitment to excellence will reap great rewards.  I’m so grateful for the opportunity to shine every day.”

The results you get from these exercises may not be too obvious at first, but as you keep up with them you should begin to see a big difference in your attitude.  You’ll find yourself feeling lighter, happier, and automatically finding things to be grateful about all the time.

I have found that if I am 51% of the time right, I usually come out on top, in saying that, I am in a constant habit of sending gratitude out to people. Gratitude is one of the most important ingredient of Powerful Manifestation.

If you believe that you LACK anything, then you have “Scarcity Thinking.” and you attract that into your life. In the “Secret” they talk about the secret of Attraction. You attract to you what you think about; Think about your greatness and how to expand it.

Our subconscious mind will pay attention to our thoughts of LACK and will bring that (attract it) into our life. How do you get rid of thoughts of lack? Great question, right? The answers is cultivating an “Attitude of Gratitude” and give thanks for all that you already have. You see, you have everything that you will ever need right now. Be thankful don’t be just average, be all that you can be, Bring out the Greatness that is in you, You have no LACK, you have it all, You have the abundance of the universe.

That ABUNDANCE is given to you and it’s Your Right to Deserve it. So, Believe, Believe Strong Enough to make it happen. This was made clear to me today as I met a Lovely Couple who have literally attracted millions worth of miracles into their life. Ask her, and she will tell you how she found free gifts for her grandson, and how she attracted free soil for her grounds at their property. Wow! I am grateful for having attracted such wisdom. Take care and have fun, that’s what life is all about!

The Art of Abundance!

How can we have more abundance in our lives? It begins by noticing the abundance that we already have.

We cannot experience abundance yesterday or tomorrow. Only in this moment can we be aware of our richest blessings. Only now can we visualize those things that will represent abundance for each of us. The key is to realize that we will get no more and no less than we ask for, work toward, and believe we will receive. Abundance does not begin with material wealth or treasure, although those things may manifest with faith and action. Abundance is first a state of mind. It arises from feelings of gratitude for all that we have and all that we visualize.

Sarah Ban Breathnach wrote, “Whatever we are waiting for — peace of mind, contentment, grace, the inner awareness of simple abundance — it will surely come to us, but only when we are ready to receive it with an open and grateful heart.” Neither does abundance occur by chance. Lewis Grizzard said, “A lot of what we ascribe to luck is not luck at all. It is seizing the day and accepting responsibility for your future. It’s seeing what other people don’t see and pursuing that vision.” To experience abundance, we must first decide what abundance means for us. Then we must see ourselves as already abundant. Most importantly, we must begin to give to others in whatever capacity we are able. We eventually receive in great multiples the abundance that we bring into the lives of others.

Become aware of the abundance all around you – the brilliant sunsets, the sound of nature’s voice, the touch of a child’s hand. Treat every breath of air and every act of love as a gift. Take nothing for granted.

Be the person you want to be tomorrow, today

Wherever you’re at in life good or bad you can always make it better then it is one step at a time, the first step is decide that you want something better then you currently have. Why? Because it wont get any better unless you first make the decision that you want it to be better, making the decision will commit you to see it through.

Where do you see yourself five years from now? Where would you like to be? Where do you want to live and what do you want to be doing for a living? Who do you want to share your life with? What do you want to drive home every day?

These are all questions you need to ask yourself and you need to have answers to them, because if you don’t know, then it’s time you really think about what you want in your in your heart of hearts.

What resonates with you on a deep level? What’s most important to you? That one thing you would want to do if there was to be no tomorrow, would you want to have achieved in your lifetime? Put that thing on the top of your list as being the most important thing to you.

Now back to the questions and take some time to think about them all. one at a time, then sit down write about them until you come up with answers to all of them.

Five years from now do you see yourself living in the country side or the city? In a big house or a small house? Do you have a high paying career? Or a home business you run yourself? What kind of a person do you see yourself sharing your life with?

Once you clearly defined what it is that you want and are working towards it you will need to work on making some changes (make small changes) A good place to start is with your beliefs, you will need positive beliefs to support you and if you have powerful beliefs that will see where you want to go. Next you will want to work on your daily habits and you will want to slowly release and replace your old limiting habits with new self & lifestyle empowering habits.

By this time you know what you want and where you want to be and whom you want to share it all with and what “job” you want to work. Figure out what new empowering habits and positive new beliefs you want to support you along the way. So the last thing you need to ask yourself is, how will the person you want to be, think and act? Will the person you want to become see problems as temporary set backs? Will you look for something positive in every negative thing?

What about confidence. Is the future you a confident person knowing that you will have want you even if you have set backs along the way?

Some times people want to see someone from the past again to show them what they have accomplished since they last saw each other. Have you ever thought about hanging out with an older friend, just to see where you both have gotten in life? How about showing someone from your past that never thought you would get your dream life?

How would it feel to show those same people that never believed in you what you’ve accomplished? Really think about, what would you say and how would you act? Think about the YOU of the future knowing all you want to accomplished and achieve think about how you would act and think.

Start thinking and acting like the person you want to be tomorrow only be it now,today, because the only way to have it / be it, is to act it and think and do it all today. Because the truth of the matter is that you really already are the person of tomorrow. You just haven’t started acting or thinking like the person you wish to be.

Once you have done that half of the work is already done for you and it brings you that much closer to having all that you desire. So once again I will run over the steps so you can write them down and practice to every day.

Below I have given you some steps to take to put you in the future YOU mind set.

1. Figure out where you want to be a year or more and what you want to be doing and what kind of a person you want to share your life with.

2. Figure out what you want to accomplish in a years time and work towards it a little bit at a time every day.

3. Get new positive beliefs and habits and work every day to slowly replace the old ones with the new ones.

4. How would the future you act and think? act and think the way you feel you will act and think.

Asking all of these questions of yourself one at a time will have your mind searching for answers to these questions, because that is what your mind does automatically whenever asked a question that it doesn’t have the answer for. It searches until it has an answer for you.

How do you feel that person you want to become will act and think, however you feel you will be, start acting & thinking that way from now on. Let us say that the person you wish to become stands up straight and walks with an air of confidence, high self esteem and is always cheerful and smiles.

Then be that way now, because it will set that positive habit for your subconscious mind and pretty soon that is what you will do everyday automatically, without your thinking about doing it.ask yourself the question and always trust your intuition to give you the right answers and go with them.

Abundance, Prosperity & Reality Creation!

Abundance and prosperity are frequencies in the universe. They are like locator beacons on the map of your consciousness. You can choose to tune into the frequency of abundance and prosperity just as you would tune into a radio station. In order to “tune in” the frequency of abundance and prosperity, you will need to practice the art of reality creation. Reality creation goes beyond manifesting, which focuses on bringing single objects and experiences into your physical reality.

Reality creation, by contrast, involves becoming the designer and architect of every aspect of your life. You are able to create entire realities by becoming the person who is capable of experiencing them. As you become an energetic match to the realities you prefer, situations, people, resources and objects naturally manifest. It’s easy to see how reality creation from this perspective is painting on a much broader canvas than simple manifesting.

The move toward reality creation represents a major shift in perspective and intention with a generous helping of motivation thrown in. Often when things are flowing along on even keel, it’s more challenging to find the desire and motivation for a major shift. More often, the needed motivation kicks in when challenges and difficulties rear their head. It is during challenging times that most people begin their journey on the path of transformation.

When a reality you don’t want shows up in your life, that’s the perfect time to practice the art of transforming reality. Preferred realities don’t always generate sufficient desire and motivation for you to stretch your powers of reality transformation, whereas less desired realities tend to motivate you to reach beyond perceived limitations with fresh inspiration and enthusiasm. Since financial challenges have been in the forefront recently, this makes the perfect testing ground for learning to wield your magic wand to transform scarcity into abundance.

The first point of transformation is to understand you’re not really transforming reality or “what is,” but yourself. The identity you hold determines your field of possibilities and the realities you activate into your life. If you’re not sure whether your identity is one of scarcity or abundance, become a detective in your own life, observing and making notes on things you habitually say, do and feel around the issue of money. If you find yourself constantly saying you can’t afford things or that you’re “broke,” or “poor,” this is an indicator you have some degree of scarcity consciousness. Beliefs about scarcity often are passed from one’s family and are therefore deeply ingrained.

It’s difficult to manifest any significant amount of abundance when your thoughts are holding onto lack in any way. While you may speak affirmations to the contrary and create positive visions of what you wish to manifest, these efforts won’t succeed if underneath the surface you’re playing old tapes attuned to the frequency of lack. These tapes are often created early in life. In fact, if you’re experiencing lack in any way, there are likely moments you can trace back to your childhood where you received programming that implied you are not worthy of having what you dream of. This is not saying you are a victim in any sense. When a spirit chooses the condition of unworthiness from the shopping list of available life experiences, this choice is made from a need at the soul level to learn the inherent worth of all beings. Maybe you have come to accept your own inherent worth, but your inner child of the past is still confused and feeling unworthy. This is enough to keep you from experiencing abundance in your present moment.

When you see the world through the lens of abundance, there is always plenty, always more than enough. In your most abundant state, you are able to telepathically commune with your higher self, your guides and angels. You understand that when you set about to bring the visions you receive from your higher self into physical reality, resources flow to help manifest that reality. Life force energy flows in great abundance, as does joy and love and happiness.

Abundance is a Lifestyle, A Magical way of Life!

Abundance is a life style, a way of living your life. It isn’t something you buy now and then or pull down from the cupboard, dust off and use once or twice, and then return to the cupboard.

Abundance is a philosophy, it appears in your physiology, your value system, and carries its own set of beliefs. You walk with, sleep with it, bath with it, feel with it, and need to maintain and take care of it as well.

It’s a knowing that you’re perfect in your present moment, that what you have right now was most likely based on choices you made yesterday and what you needed to learn in order to be in the prefect moment now. Yet not seen as right or wrong but let go of those judgments and embrace with a brightness that you can change with just a single choice right now.

Abundance doesn’t always require money. Many people live with all that money can buy yet live empty inside. Abundance begins inside with some main self-ingredients, like love, care, kindness, and gentleness, thoughtfulness and compassion. Abundance is a state of being. It radiates outward. It shines like the sun among the many moons I the world. It’s being the sun with discernment and love for the gift of this being.

Being from the brightness of abundance doesn’t allow the darkness to appear or be in the path unless a choice to allow it to. The true state of abundance doesn’t have room for lies or games normally played. The space is too full of abundance. This may be a challenge because we still need to shine for others to see.

Progressing into abundance, a transition requires courage. It is driven by the feeling of knowing of its possibility and seeing the little spots and allowing them to grow bigger. Making them consistent choices and removing all else, that doesn’t fuel that being.

Abundance is seeing people for their gifts and not what they lack or could be. Seeing all things for their gifts and not what they lack.

Start by knowing what your abundances are, fill that space with you, and be fully present from that state of being. Your profession of choice is telling you this already. Examples: Coaches have an abundance of knowing and possibilities. That is their gift. Consultants and customer service professionals have the abundance of success, practicality, in common. Administrative Assistants and Virtual Assistants have an abundance of coordination and time management. Abundance is all around you, and all within. See what it is; love yourself for what it is, not what you’re missing, or what that can be better. But for what is, at this present moment.

Be in a state of abundance of what you already have. I guarantee they are there, it always is. Breathe them in as if they are the air you breathe because they are yours. Let go of anything that isn’t abundant for the time being. Name the shoe boxes in your closet with your gifts of abundance; pull from them every morning if needed. Know they are there.

Learning to trust in your own abundance is required. Who else can you more than yourself? No one. When you begin to be within your own space of abundance whatever you need will appear whenever you need it. That’s just the way the higher powers set this universe up to work. Trust the universal energy. The knowing of it all will humble you to its power yet let the brightness of you shine everywhere it needs to. Just by being from a state of abundance, it is being you.
