Abundance Training

Part 1 ~ Brilliant Nuggets From The Science of Getting Rich

I’ve recently begun re-reading The Science of Getting Rich (by Wallace Wattles) and have some paraphrased nuggets of wisdom to share. It’s easy to disregard that everyone has the opportunity and the ability to receive riches. That means that even you, the reader, whoever you may be, are also included in this sphere – you, too, can become rich if you put your mind and actions to it! It’s all about a few shifts in previously-placed limiting beliefs.

riches

A few key points:
1) Sometimes life causes us to forget that things can happen concurrently and riches CAN be sought while still performing perfectly in all other areas. Plus, it’s all a visualization game at the core, so we need to keep knowing abundance and surrounding ourselves with $$$-encouraging behaviors. This means becoming better acquainted with the idea of the inherent abundance that exists. This also means to recognize that anyone (and everyone) can have a healthy share, and there is more than enough to go around, always. (Yes, really.)

2) Regardless of your current situation, you can begin to improve. The power of harmonizing with the Universe is intense, and it’s important to sync up with the desire for kindness and abundance for all. There are more than enough riches for anyone and everyone to get them, continuously and consistently. It doesn’t matter whether you feel you are ‘good enough’, because often you are your own worst critic. A version of something (business or project-related) that’s complete is better than procrastinating and dreaming up a ‘perfect’ version that you’ll never be ready to unveil.

3) The power of labels is incredible. It’s easy to think that some offhand remark is harmless, but often this isn’t truly the case. Random comments about having some lack, or being penniless/broke are very damaging, because dwelling on the lack will cause more of it to show itself. It’s important to focus on the abundance, focus on the opportunities you’re pursuing and their awesome results, focus on how you have more than enough to pay all debts and still treat yourself (and those you love) to fancy things.

4) Create an image in your mind of your true ideal utopian goal and always be expanding it. Use lots of your free contemplation time to develop more and more aspects of this goal and see it clearly, as though you are already looking at it right in front of you. Then spend even more time being thankful for the opportunities AND current wonderfuls in your life. You already are living amid miracles – give them credit. Feel thankfulness and be genuinely grateful to yourself and others.

If you think about it, you’ll realize that this world is ours and nature is our ally. Everyone deserves wealth and abundance. Everyone deserves to wake up in the morning, look themselves in the eye in a mirror, and tell themselves fantastic things in the first person. Everyone deserves to look in the mirror and say ‘I deserve to have riches. I am extremely worthy of riches. I am amazing. I am wonderful. I am able. I am intelligent,’ and whatever else seems right. And everyone is capable of allowing a wave of genuinely thankful emotion flow through them a few times each day. The benefits are endless.

Stress Tips

4 Steps To Immediately Overcome ‘Selective Hearing’!

It happens frequently that people accidentally suffer from selective hearing. And, most often, the case is that these partially-heard people are close to the selective-hearer. This means that often times this is someone’s spouse/family member/significant other/long-term friend.
And over an extended period of time, the communication lines become garbled to the point where people are rarely actually listening to each other… They only hear fragments of what the other is communicating and they react to that. Then their reaction’s tone is way off from the tonality that the other person used to talk to them in the first place. And this causes a constant back-and-forth issue where there is discord and disconnect in many other areas of life.

Have you ever witnessed something like this in your life, or in the lives of those around you????
If someone were to ask me that question, the answer would be a resounding yes.

It seems that many succumb to the parital-listening method…. Sadly, usually they have the best of intentions and feel very strongly about the person to whom they’re doing a disservice. Some people might even lash out in various ways when they feel they’re being communicated with in a different tone than is appropriate. Of course, when you’re only partially listening you also only pick up part of the emotions attached, so often-times the tone that is communicated is, in fact, appropriate and the information is, in fact, spot-on.
Ok, so by now you realize this is pretty common nowadays. Maybe it’s due to technology, or maybe it’s due to a notion that the years have entertained an endless-loop of not-pleasant encounters.

Funny. selective hearing

So what do you do?
How do you get out of this negative loop and help others get out too???

FIRST, realize that men and women deal with negative emotions differently. Recent studies have shown that they react to other people’s negative emotions in a completely opposite manner. What research has shown is that when someone approaches a man with a negative message, the man will mirror what they perceive to be a bad mood. However, when someone approaches a woman in the same manner, the woman will try to counteract that message with something positive. These interesting finds might be the equivalent to a built-in communication deficiency for some…

SECOND, let go of previous battles. The best way to live in harmony with yourself (and those around you) is to not collect resentments and grudges. Allow those shackles to fall off, and break away. Strip down the emotional barriers you’ve built and bare your heart – even if just for fifteen minutes…
Sometimes we tune out more than just perceived negativity. Sometimes it helps to lower your voice, create a more pleasant tone to speak in, stop interrupting, and respond to the actual questions being asked. Also, when someone is trying to answer the questions about emotions, don’t call anything a ‘tangent’. Just because something and how it links up or connects aren’t making immediate sense to the logical mind, doesn’t mean they’re invalid.

THIRD, allow the other people to finish out their thoughts. It’s ok to ask someone to not repeat things, or keep their answers to a few paragraphs (at the most) in length. However, when someone gets respect, attention, and silence when they’re speaking it tends to keep them in an even-keel enough mood to remain friendly. A discussion can be so much quicker and much more productive if people just let the other person talk the first time around, hearing the summary of the situation and how someone perceived it, and then calmly responding with the same.

FOURTH, a discussion can usually be laughed off as soon as the ridiculousness of the original argument is discovered and acknowledged. Don’t get too serious and rigid… stay easily amused! Laugh at yourself, giggle with others, and develop your sense of humor. Smiling and laughing send endorphins to the brain and keep us young!

Take your time and take a deep breath. Close your eyes and slow your roll… allow calmness to envelop you. The timing that matters most is the here and now; the people and situations physically around us. A little respect for someone else’s time and attention goes a really long way!

Stress Tips

Which Of These Three Types Of People Are You?

Some people are taught the consideration concept – raised from an early age to foresee what they can do to make people’s lives easier. Some people, on the other hand, are not taught this skill. There’s also a third group of people – the inherently caregiving people that have a similar talent, that of interpreting events and determining ways of quickly diffusing situations to where everyone is as happy as possible. When people of the first and third group (we’ll refer to them as The Considerates) come in contact with people of the second group (the ones that haven’t learned or incorporated this skill), sometimes there is frustration. The considerate people do certain things to help the not-so-considerate, and often the favor is not returned. The considerate and caregiver ones may feel that it’s unfair and maybe even rude, but the irony of the situation is that the not-so-considerate people haven’t even given it a second thought. Maybe they’ve grown accustomed to the consideration, or maybe they are clueless altogether.

So, what to do about this deeply-rooted difference of ideals?

First of all, if you are one of The Considerates, don’t get discouraged if people don’t acknowledge your consideration. This is definitely not a fault of your own, because you are going above and beyond in terms of being nice. It’s actually a lack of this characteristic in the other people. Give yourself the credit, if it’s not given by others. This talent that you have is incredibly valuable and don’t let others’ action (or inaction) sour your desire to flourish.

Second, if someone finds themselves in the position of being one of the not-so-considerate, perhaps it’s time to pay more attention to the nuances around. There are certain things that people do that aren’t really necessary; they’re extra favors that are gifted due to their anticipation that it would be helpful. Consideration is a skill that can definitely be learned, no matter how old someone is, nor the grade of previous life experiences. Sometimes nice people get not-so-nice treatment, but that doesn’t mean the niceness needs to be let go. On the contrary, sometimes the unpleasant situations in life and how one reacts to them are what shape a person’s character.

Third, no matter which group you fall under and regardless of why, the consideration skill is best developed by practicing on yourself. You will always be thankful for the nice and thoughtful favors you do for yourself, so why not ramp it up even more? It’s not selfishness, because it will help you open your eyes further to the sorts of things that make life easier for others. And if you’ve felt the gift of consideration then you’re more likely to give it to others with no expectations. I’ve found that the most fulfilling consideration is the one that’s given in and of itself, with no built-in desire to get something back.

Fourth, if you find yourself often thanklessly considerate, perhaps tone it down just a little bit. Sometimes people need to do things for themselves before they realize how amazing it was for you to do them. Another point is that maybe people are already doing certain things, but in their own way. Allow others to accomplish certain tasks in the manner they see fit, because often there isn’t just one way to do them.

be good to people

I think we can all agree that the world and its interactions would be a much better place if more people were considerate. So keep it up! Be thankful often, and please continue being the wonderful person that you are. The positive energy that you generate with your great intentions will find its way back to you for sure, one way or another. You’ll know when it happens.

Connecting With The Spiritual Realm

Three Ways To Be The Light!

We’ve often recognized that there’s darkness around in the world, and it seems we could always use more light to counteract it. Of course, there are lots of positive influences that are already syncing up with the love vibrations in our universe. However, I think you’d agree there can never be enough. It’s not necessary to expect different behaviors from others – it’s most beneficial to just rely on ourselves.

light quote

So how are some ways you can bring more positivity into your world, and become the light???

1. Smile.
Smile to yourself in the morning, saying to yourself ‘how attractive and wonderful you are, and thank you so much for that!’ Smile to your family members, smile to random people you come across. Let them think you’re weird (if you live in an area where people aren’t accustomed). Let them not return the smile. Be the one that spreads just a tiny bit of happiness to those around you. Pay your smiles forward, and be content with raising the bar (even just a little) for how much happiness someone else’s day is going to have.

2. Become more emotionally available.
It’s often the case that people have been burnt before, or maybe they have low expectations of others. Let go of these setbacks, and be okay with wearing your heart on your sleeve. Don’t get me wrong – this doesn’t mean to not shelter yourself to some degree. While your heart is on your sleeve make sure you create a positive energetic shield around it, which allows (and keeps) great energy in and also sifts negativity and wicks it away so it doesn’t enter.

3. Listen to hear people, not just to respond.
It seems our communication skills nowadays have taken a hit, since we’re so busy multi-tasking… reading our phones, paying attention to something going on around, allowing the mind to run a mile a minute, and lastly listening to those speaking. Take a break from all this multi-tasking, and actually engage people when they speak. Look them in the eye and listen to what they say. Respect their points, and interject useful statements or suggestions. This sort of attention truly goes a long way.

I think you’ll notice you’ll feel much better about yourself and those around you if you start to incorporate some of these behaviors. You’ll even feel lighter (figuratively and literally), and you’ll find more of these respectful and positive interactions being bounced back. Positivity and Being The Light are two-way streets, and what you put out definitely finds its way back to you. You’ll find it also gets easier to find other ways to become the light, and have many more joyous moments every-day.
