17 Ways to Attract Abundance

depressing - but it is depressing ONLY if you focus on the fact that you can't
afford to give more. If you instead focus on the positive and affirm that your
money is going to a worthwhile cause, you can't help but feel GOOD about
that, and end up attracting back more money.
- Spend money confidently when necessary.
Have you ever avoided buying something that you really needed because you
were trying to restrict your spending? It's one thing to restrict unnecessary
spending, but quite another to avoid buying things you really need! The
message you send to the universe when you do this is one that you do NOT
want to be mirrored back in your life: that you don't have enough money for
everything you need. It's no big surprise why you don't have enough money for
31
everything you need if you regularly avoid spending with this mind-set! To
turn this around, simply spend your money when you need to, and affirm
confidently that the universe will make it all come out okay. This takes a big
leap of faith sometimes, but true miracles can happen when you do it.
In short, you want to gradually get yourself into the state of mind where
spending is okay because you know you will always have more money flowing
in. That doesn't mean you should max out your credit cards and buy a bunch
of things you don't really need - that just creates more problems down the
road. But little by little convince yourself that you don't have to pinch pennies
because more money is coming to you soon - and you'll be surprised to see that
the more you believe this, the more often it ends up being absolutely true!
#17 - Create a space for abundance.
What kind of shape is your financial situation in? I don't mean whether you
have enough money coming in, but whether it is ordered or chaotic. When was
the last time you balanced your checkbook? Do you have a lot of expenses that
are no longer necessary? Is your filing system up to date, or do you have
stacks of unpaid bills and/or unfiled paperwork strewn about? Do you know
exactly how much debt you have? Do you have a solid savings and investment
plan in place?
I have mentioned several times throughout this book that focusing on lack is a
bad thing - but that does not mean you should stick your head in the sand and
refuse to acknowledge your current reality. In fact, I think you'll be pleased to
discover that getting your financial affairs organized will create a big space into
which abundance can flow!
There are three major steps to this process:
1) Clear out stagnation.
The first step is to clear away anything that could create a blockage for the
abundance you wish to attract into your life. This includes throwing away
paperwork that is no longer needed, clearing off your desk or the area in which
32
you pay bills, and eliminating money drains like old subscriptions and
memberships you no longer use.
2) Organize what's left.
Then, get organized in every area of your financial life. File away old paperwork
that needs to be kept. Balance your checkbook and reconcile all of your
financial accounts. Figure out exactly how much debt you have and set up a
plan for paying it down, create a savings and investment plan if you don't
already have one, and so on. There are two reasons why getting organized is so
important: first, it helps you to see clearly where you are now, and compare it
to where you want to be; and secondly, it makes you feel more empowered and
in control. They say "ignorance is bliss" but not when it comes to financial
issues! Rather than fearing how much debt you have, figure it out so you know
for sure and you can take steps to reduce it. Likewise with how much money
you have in the bank, and how much you would like to have.
3) Organize the rest of your life.
Since this book is about attracting abundance I started with that area, but
once that's done you will also want to carry these same actions into other areas
of your life too. Clear out any material possessions you no longer need.
Organize what you want to keep. Get rid of drains on your time and energy the
same way, like canceling old commitments you no longer wish to keep, and so
on.
Once again, this helps you feel more in control of your circumstances, which
will trigger a more peaceful state of mind - and attract more experiences that
support your intentions.
Bonus Tip #18 - Start small!
I have to include one more tip for you, simply because it may save you a lot of
frustration and wasted energy.

When many people first learn about the Law of Attraction and try attracting
more money into their lives, they usually go right for the big money. They set
an intention to win $10 million in the lottery, or otherwise receive an
exceedingly large amount of money.
It's not that attracting these things is impossible. They are definitely possible.
But the problem arises when people try to take a massive leap from where they
are to where they want to be, rather than learning how to crawl before they
walk!
If you have been struggling financially for years, it's unrealistic to try to attract [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
