Creating Abundance in Your Life

Money for most people is associated with lack, scarcity and stress. Stress around money can ruin the quality of your life. This stress

is created in your mind, in what you think and feel about money.

Just watch your thoughts. How often during the day do you think: If I only

had more money. Or: 'It is never enough', or 'Money is not for me'.

These thoughts have power, more power than the money in your purse

or bank account. Having enough money is not a question of the sum that

is at your disposal. Enough or not enough tells you something about

the discrepancy between your desires and your material reality.

Of course, you need a substantial amount of money to cover food, cloths

and a roof above your head.

But what makes life then worthwhile is not more money but having good

friends, freedom and the ability to think over the great threats of life such

as death, disease and poverty.

This is not new knowledge. Thousands of years ago, the Greek

philosopher Epicurus already came to this conclusion.

Epicurus explored the concept of abundance or true wealth that

makes our life fulfilled. Wealth comes from the root word weal which

means a sound, healthy or prosperous state of well-being.

The feeling of abundance is a state of mind. Some people call it

prosperity consciousness. The sense of lack is also a state of

mind called poverty consciousness.

Your thoughts have the potential to bring into your life that what you

focus on all day. This is the law of physics that "energy attracts like

energy".

Your mind and your thoughts are part of that energy which is underlying

your visible world. Quantum physicists call this reality the quantum field.

The practical application of this basic law of physics is that you have

the choice to put your mind towards abundance or lack.

This process happens all the time but mostly you are choosing

unconsciously through your negative or ambivalent feelings and all the

words that run like an inner tape.

You have inherited attitudes, thoughts and beliefs about money from

your family, friends, media and culture at large. Examining and

exploring your habits, thoughts and feelings about money are essential

to create abundance in your life.

Here are some favourite inherited thoughts

Money is hard work
Money doesn't grow on trees
Money needs to be earned
Money doesn't make you happy
Money spoils the character
Money is dirty
Loving money is the root of all evil
Don't trust anybody around money
Money destroys friendships
It is never enough
Money is not important

Does any one of those sound familiar?

They are no destiny. If you become aware of them you can change them

around. Lets take the first one: Money is hard work as an example and

see how those feel to you:

I earn my money with ease and grace
Money flows into my life by itself
When I follow the voice of my heart, I get what I need without any
effort

You find more examples in my free course on positive

affirmations concerning money, love and health. Are you wondering

about this combination?

Well, from a certain perspective, money is just one form of energy. If you feel very tight around money you may also feel tight around

giving your love and appreciation to others. If you feel abundant in

yourself, you will tend to share wholeheartedly your care as well as your

material resources in as much as you can afford it.

A restricted attitude towards life will also constrict your health, while an

abundant attitude will draw everything towards you that will enrich your

life and well-being.

Taking the effort to shift your attitudes and habits around money

will not just benefit your material abundance but enrich all other

areas of your life as well.

Sometimes it will be enough to become conscious of your habits,

thoughts and feelings about money, and sometimes is may be

necessary to shift deep-rooted energetic patterns that hold the

attitudes, beliefs and feelings of lack and scarcity in place.
