How to Attract Abundance

Jane sat in my office with tears streaming down her face. “This creating abundance idea just doesn’t seem to work for me. I work hard and hold down two jobs and I still can’t pay the bills. I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired. I’m going to be poor the rest of my life!” There are probably few of us who haven’t felt that way at one time or another. You might have arrived there after you were laid off from a job, or unexpectedly saddled with a huge medical bill, or after a divorce. Whatever the circumstances, it doesn’t feel good. You try and you try and nothing seems to change. You feel stuck in an endless cycle of working more and saving less. Your whole being is focused on the bills, the debt, and the hopelessness of it all. Jane isn’t alone.

Average Debt

The average American family has a credit card debt of $8,400 dollars and about 20% have “maxed out” their credit cards. Perhaps even more distressing is that our young people are saddled with an average student loan debt of $33,000. The Federal Reserve reports that over 40% of US families spend more than they earn. If you’re in this situation, what do you do to keep from declining to a state of poverty and despair? You have three main choices. (1) You can give up, yell, “I can’t take it anymore!” and hope that someone or something comes along to rescue you. (This doesn’t usually happen.) (2) You can just keep doing what you’re doing. (Things will probably remain the same or get worse.) or (3) You can choose a new destination, the one called “Abundance,” and put one foot ahead of the other and keep walking.

You Decide

You decide what you do want. You may not know the specific job you want or exactly what to do about attracting the abundance you seek. Begin to play around with the idea of creating something new. People rarely know exactly what they want. Ask yourself, "What do I feel excited about?" Pay attention to when you hit on something that makes you feel lighter and enthusiastic, or even if you just feel a flicker of interest. This is one way your intuition gives you hints about the direction you need to follow. Pump up the volume of positive emotion. Spend time each day daydreaming about your life and what it will be like to achieve your goals. Your strong, positive feelings have the power to attract your desires. If a new job is your goal, you might imagine all the aspects of your new job and how great you'll feel. You may imagine what you'll do with the additional money that the new position will likely bring. You could imagine the new friends and colleagues you'll have in your new job and how well you work as a team. Keep your focus on whatever makes you feel good about attaining your desire. I call this flowing the energy.

Pay Attention

Pay attention to your intuition. Begin to expect the manifestation of your goals. Have patience. The changes you seek don’t necessarily happen overnight. Act as if they will happen and pay attention to your intuition. When you have your mind and emotions firmly focused on your hopes and dreams, your intuition will begin to give you guidance to the next steps. This wisdom may come through your gut feelings, inner voice, dreams, a sense of knowing or even a physical sensation. You may begin to experience coincidences and synchronicities. That's how you'll know you're on the right track. Be wiling to dream big. Ask for a lot.

Take a risk and go for what you want the most in your life. Most of us think too small and drown ourselves and our desires with thoughts that begin with “I can’t,” “I shouldn’t,” “I don’t deserve it,” or “It’s not possible.” The power of the Universe wants to flow through you to create everything you need and wish for. When you think too small you block the flow. Don’t settle for a little life. There is a wonderful plan for you. Respect that still, small voice inside that is encouraging you forward. That’s where the true answers lie.
