Abundance Check In

Three months into 2020, I thought that I would check in on how I am doing with my word choice for the year.

As with anything, choice and focus are important. By focusing on the word abundance this year, I have been able to achieve some successes already.Here are my tips so far on attracting or living with abundance:

1. Focus on one day at a time.
2. Affirmations are an important daily practice.
3. Make a choice daily to live abundantly.
4. Practice daily gratitude.
5. Develop or maintain positive self-talk.
6. Keep your eye on your vision.
7. Perform random acts of kindness.
8. Open yourself up to receive.
9. Practice forgiveness. Forgive yourself and others.
10. Have clear intentions.

Abundance Found in Leap Year

by

Abundance is about looking at life and knowing that you have everything you need for complete happiness, and then being able to celebrate each and every moment on earth. ~Wayne Dyer

Wow! We get an extra day this year. Talk about abundance! Is this just another day for you or a special day?

For me this year, it is an opportunity to be grateful for all that I have and to use the day to accomplish something spectacular. I am using the day to work toward my vision for 2020. It’s an exciting feeling to think about the possibilities.

It’s all choice. There is that word again…CHOICE. What will you choose today? What will you make possible today? This year?

From Negative to Positive: Reframing Fear

by

Fear creates negative self-talk and is often what holds us back from success. If you are fearful of taking chances because you may lose the security that you currently enjoy, you may try to convince yourself that you are happy in your current situation when in fact, you are not. Your self-talk may sound positive in your attempt to lie to yourself. But you know you are limiting yourself. And that fear and your self-talk are holding you back from your dreams.

When changing to positive self-talk, reframe your fears by identifying them. Ask yourself:
• What you are afraid of?
• What can be the worst that can happen?
• Will the worst happen?
• What is the best that can happen?

These tips for breaking down your thoughts to see if there is any way look at things more positively can help you confront your fears. By doing this, you will realize that the worst-case scenario is not as bad as you think or will not likely to happen. In fact, the benefits of change will appear, and you can see that they are worth the effort and risk. And by breaking the fear down in this manner, your inner self-talk changes.

The How: Replace Negative Self-Talk with Positives

by

I my previous post, I provided some tips for positive self-talk. I now intend to share some more details or “how tos” to start replacing negatives with positives.

Let’s face it negative thoughts happen. It is hard to be positive ALL the time. Nevertheless, you can replace negative thoughts with the positive ones in any situation. There is always an alternative way to see a situation, and you have an opportunity to choose to find something positive about it.
For example, if you have a goal to achieve a healthy weight, instead of telling yourself not to bother because you have previously gained the weight lost back , change the talk to “I am making healthier choices every day” or “I am successful at maintaining a healthy weight for me”. [Read more…]

Positive Self-Talk

2. Practice gratitude.
3. Talk to yourself as you would a friend.
4. Eliminate assumptions.
5. Dismiss your inner critic.
6. Throw out the words “I can’t” or “I’ll try”.
