Making Room for Magic - An Attitude of Abundance

We spent last month talking about releasing. We thanked what no longer serves us and let it go. We released things we don't need,  activities we don't need,  relationships we don't need.  We released control.  We released our old selves to step into our new selves.   

Now there's room for us to add some things that will serve us better and help us live our best lives now.  To do that, we need to tap into the mindset of Abundance. 

Take a minute to think and write a few things down.  What lovely things are abundant in your life right now? 

Right this minute, I have  hummingbirds outside my window.  I have one feeder there and eight birds are jockeying for position - not politely.   It's an abundance of birds, of motion, of twittering, of green and red flashes of light, of life, of entertainment.   Also, today there is an abundance of dew, of flowers blooming in the garden.  There is an abundance of humidity [my hair looks great!] and sunshine. 

Take a moment to focus on and feel the abundance around you and the gratitude that comes with it. 

Here is a good mantra for tapping into the abundance all around you. 

• There is plenty.  There are plenty of things.  There are plenty of resources.  There is plenty of time.  There is plenty of space.   I enjoy all the plenty around me.  I am enough.  There is enough.  There is more than enough.  

If your mind moves on to fear and scarcity, thank it for trying to protect you and then focus again to find more abundance and gratitude.  Don't beat yourself up.  We all have to re-focus.  It's part of the process.

Why is this important?   Because a positive outlook will take you much further in getting what you need.  You will have more energy, hope, faith, inspiration and connections.  People like being around positive, hopeful people.   As you continue to connect in positive ways, solutions will present themselves.  As you feel better and more inspired, you'll see new ways of doing things that will bring you lasting benefits.  

A mindset of abundance will allow you to find and get what you seek without feeling like you have to take it from someone else or without feeling like if you get it someone else more deserving won't get theirs. There is enough to go around and plenty more.  Really.  There is plenty.

Practice tapping into an attitude of abundance.

The Laws of Attraction & Harvest

Very simply, the Law of Attraction is this:

 You attract the things you focus on.

Life is a mixed bag, no getting around it.  There's a lot of awful stuff...but there's also a lot of unbelievably wonderful stuff.  We get to decide what to focus on.  If we focus on the crap, then that's what we are more likely to find more of, simply because that's what we're tuned in to.  

There's nothing woo-woo about this.  It's not magic.  If you want more of something in your life, you need to tune in to what you want.  Keep your eyes open for it or go looking for it.  

Want more good experiences?   Focus on the good you see.   Want more great friends?  Focus on the great people you know.   Want more miracles?   Focus on the miraculous.  

For the Law of Attraction to work, you don't have to actually do anything other than change what you pay attention to. 

A related idea is the Law of the Harvest:

You reap what you sow.

If the Law of Attraction is what you pay attention to, then the Law of the Harvest is how you act.  If you are focused on briars, you won't see the violets. Further, you can't expect violets to grow if you're actively planting briars.  

If you want to see real change in your life, you have to honestly examine your thinking and your actions and then make changes. You can't go around spreading negativity and then expect happy to pop up. Instead you need to start being hopeful and spreading that hope.  You can't gossip about your acquaintances and expect people to trust you and to have a supportive tribe.  Instead, you need to be complimentary and supportive when talking to and about others.  You can't focus on all the negativity in the world and expect to feel happy.  Instead you need to seek out and tell inspiring, loving and laughable stories.

It's not easy to always do these things, but we're not after perfection; we're after improvement.  

Every positive change, even the smallest one, will contribute to a better outcome for you.   Patient persistence will result in astounding long term gains.  

I really want to know how you're doing:   How have you seen these laws work in your life?
