Reality Check

Reality Check

Once in a while the universe will give you a serious reality check.

This week the universe made me realize that I am truly blessed with
a life at all.

After returning from a memorial service for a young friend of ours who
sadly passed away at just 29,  I turned on the TV and was “channel surfing”
when I landed on Oprah .  She was talking to an ex-model who said…

“ Aging is a privilege not a birthright.”
What a powerful message…..
My  invitation to abundance today is for personal relationships.
I will nurture friendships and family  and the love I give out returns to me multiplied
Knowing what my Abundance looks like…In detail

Knowing what my Abundance looks like…In detail

How can I invite abundance if I don’t know EXACTLY what I want.??
Today’s post comes about from a discussion with my husband about abundance.
When I asked him what  Abundance meant to him he answered “Winning Lotto”
This is how the conversation went…..
Me:  Great why?
Him:  Because I would have a million dollars.
Me: What for?
Him:  For whatever I want. (getting cranky now)
Me:  What do you want?
Him:  I don’t know….a million dollars
Me:  But what would you do with it- what would you do
        – what would you buy?
Him:  Whatever I want.
Shortly after this…I gave up undecided

LOTS of people do this…have the wish for “something more” but don’t know what  that “something” is. 

Why??   I think it is the point I made earlier about believing you deserve abundance.  My Husband doesn’t actually believe he will ever win Lotto because “People like him don’t win Lotto” so of course he doesn’t.

I KNOW what my abundance looks like. (Made real by my vision board) 
I have decided that I am going to create many vision boards –one for the big things and kind of like a  “sub-boards” off the main board.   
For example…on my board is a wish to redecorate our unit.   I am creating a separate board with the things I see for our unit…the furniture, the appliances the linen on the bed. 

This will help further manifest the abundance I want.

Today’s mantra….

I can have my abundance in detail. I can see, taste and feel it all around me.

Making the vision real.

Making the vision real.

Following on from yesterday’s post about belief,  I find that a vision board helps me focus on how I imagine my abundance and helps me truly believe in what I am inviting.

I have been making “vision boards” in some form for years before i knew what they were.  My school diaries were littered with pictures of things I dreamt about.  Whether it was a cute new top or my first little bomb of a car.

My current vision board has not been updated in quite some time and to my surprise I have found that pretty well achieved everything on that board.  This may explain why I have been flat and feeling without purpose for the past 6 months or so….. I have not invited anything new into my abundance. of course I know i should not be surprised…because that is what vision boards do, they are a concrete, focused way of inviting your dreams.

So my mission today (and the next few days) is to complete an update to my vision board and focus on my dreams.
Abundance will come and my vision board is the material invitation of my dreams.
I deserve abundance and believe I will be abundant.

I deserve abundance and believe I will be abundant.

Today’s mantra is BELIEF I read an article recently that said…

“In order to receive we have to feel that we deserve to receive”

This got me thinking…do I really believe that I deserve true abundance??
I ( like a lot of people) have had friends and family that have tried to squash
my dreams and aspirations. After a few decades this is bound to sink in and
affect the psyche.
How to break the cycle of limiting one’s own dreams??

To affect lasting change in our feelings of worthiness we must allow ourselves to connect with our essential self, that knows beyond all and every doubt that we are deserving of the very best at all times. We must also be ruthlessly honest with ourselves recognising and admitting when we are behaving against our better judgement to seek approval from others or when we are betraying ourselves by giving too much credence to the limiting voices of self judgement in our heads.

My mission today is to re-affirm to myself that I truly deserve the abundance I
am inviting.

I AM worthy and I believe that abundance will come.
