abundanceLike many people, I look at how much I have and wonder if there are things I should be doing to attract more into my life. More money, more love, more everything!  My interest led me to begin to investigate, I started to do some research on the topic. I found a bunch of ideas about how to attract more abundance into your life. We all think that if we have more money, love, fame, or whatever we will be happier. That is a philosophical statement for another day. Today, there are three simple things that you can start doing today that will make your life more abundant in what you are seeking.

Gratitude Journal

I have always been a fan of the gratitude journal, I have kept one sporadically over the last three to four years. When I was diligent, in all honesty more came into my life. In all areas. Then you get busy and tell gratitude journalyourself, I will just think about them and not write them down. In my experience, much of the power of those thoughts are left behind.  So the simple process I use is: each morning I write 10 things that I am grateful for over the past 24 hours. I try to make 3 of them new things. I believe the value in the activity is thinking about the actual gratitude that you feel about each thing. Adding new things, creates a mindset of looking for what you are grateful for and not taking things for granted.  We are a fortunate society, and there is a long list of things that you see each and every day to feel grateful for.

I think this works because it creates an energy of gratitude. If you are a believer in personal energy and what you focus on brings more of that into your life. Being grateful for what you have will bring more of that into your life. Be grateful for the love in your life and soon you will find more of it in your life.

Give Freely

This is a difficult one for me, because I always say that I will gladly give when I have more stuff. The problem with that is I never know when that is. Fear of not having enough will stop you from giving, but giving freelyto get you always have to give. I don’t think it means to give everything you have but to establish a mindset of giving. That allows you to be dealing from a feeling of abundance and not of lack.

The giving doesn’t have to be financial either, I think that giving with the right attitude of your time and talents can be just as powerful for creating abundance in your life. Again I think that the attitude that you create by looking for opportunities to give is the key to attracting more abundance into your life.  Give without chance of recognition, and that creates the best energy. When you give, you accept that there is more on the way and it always is. If you are afraid that you will be lacking, then you are focusing on lack and what you focus on will grow in your life.

I would encourage people to start small and see what happens. Give and watch. I have done a few experiments and most have really positive results. Give a small amount, freely and see what happens. Give because you want to and focus on that. Don’t think of the lack, think of the abundance, and hope that your gift can truly help someone else. It could be money, clothes you donated, or time you gave or even a conscious choice to be kind.

Set Clear Intentions

In almost any book I have read about creation, abundance or self-improvement. The first thing you have to do is to know what you want, specifically. Many people have the generic answer of more love or more clear intentionsmoney. Those generic intentions are going to bring generic results. It seems that being able to ask clearly for what you want is an important part of attracting more abundance into your life. Don’t be afraid to ask for exactly what you want.

Like anything, practice is the key to doing this. We have been so conditioned to believe that we have no control over our what we get. But there is increasing evidence through Quantum Physics that we are absolutely in control of what we see in our lives. Set an intention that is clear, and believe that it can happen, take action toward it and it will happen.  Don’t skip over that TAKE ACTION part, because that is the key. Your actions provide the momentum to your intention and move them from the page of thought into reality.

These are three simple practices that you can try today to investigate drawing more abundance into your life. More money, love or success. Whatever it is that you are really looking for. I always try to remember that we are unique spiritual beings placed on Earth to have a great experience, not to suffer and be unhappy.
