The Universe is full of abundance, you can find it everywhere you go, and everywhere you look. The truth is, many of us focus on all the things we don't have, instead of focusing on all the things we do have.
When we focus on what we don't have, we tend to live in a state of lack with the desire to accumulate more and more in material things, never feeling satisfied or fulfilled. However taking time to recognize and acknowledge all the blessings we do have in our lives, will help create an abundant mindset that will leave you feeling like you have enough, and that you are enough. This beautiful state will bring you more freedom, bliss, prosperity, and peace. My Entrepreneur Journal - A Daily Practice for Achieving Success and Abundance Available on Amazon Develop an attitude of gratitudeExperience more abundance right now by being thankful for all the blessings you already have. Whether it's your lovely home, your friendships, your children and your partner, the heat that warms your home, the food you eat, or your hot cup of coffee, whatever it may be, be thankful. When you begin to cultivate an attitude of gratitude, you eventually become this state and in turn, you feel overly appreciative for even the smallest of things. The more you practice this "gratitude mindset" the more beauty and abundance you will see, and experience, every single day. The sunrises will seem brighter, the trees will appear more green, even your foods will taste better when you stop in the present moment and are thankful for every experience you encounter. Even the "not so good" experiences are still worthy of being appreciated as they teach us important lessons that will help us on our journey. Start waking up each day offering appreciation for everything you have been blessed with. This act alone can shift you into a positive and abundant state as you begin your day. I am living my life in a state of complete abundance. Generosity is keyDon't stop the flow of abundant energy by keeping it all to yourself. Give it away! The more you give, the more you get. That doesn't mean you necessarily get more in material things, what it means is, when you give from a place of love, you will receive the energy of love right back. This is how the Universe keeps itself in Karmic Balance. Have you ever noticed that when you engage in an act of kindness, you have this overwhelming feeling of joy? Well, that's the Universe rewarding you for your good deed and the person on the receiving end will experience a similar feeling. And it's not about what you give, it's in the act of giving itself that is rewarding. Keep the abundance flowing so it circulates back to you and allow the ebb and flow of this energy to do its thing. The more you practice the art of giving, the more you'll stay in vibratory harmony with the all-giving Source of everything. The wealth of the universe is circulating in my life and flowing to me in abundant and prosperous ways. 
Affirm it to be trueAffirm it to be true Affirmations are powerful as they affirm a truth. If you believe you are not abundant, or that you will never be abundant, you may have created an unconscious belief that has prevented you from achieving success or abundance. Just remember, our thoughts create our reality, and belief is the root of all creation, so be mindful of what you are creating based on what you are believing. Using positive affirmations will help you to create a new and empowering belief system that will better serve you purpose. This will also put you into vibratory alignment with Source as, Like attracts Like, therefor the more you affirm that you are abundant, the more you will experience this state and divine feeling. Use affirmations such as, "abundance flows to me with ease and grace." "I am complete and whole just as I am." "The Universe brings me opportunities and experiences that are aligned with my truth and my purpose." "I receive all that is meant for me with love and appreciation." Start to use affirmations on a daily basis and witness the powerful change it can bring to your life. I am aligned with the energy of abundance, joy, and prosperity. Be curious & creativeIf you are in a place where you want 'more' of something in your life, then maybe it's time to try something new and get creative. It's human nature to seek outwardly for fulfillment and reward, something to make you feel "full" and content. If you find this is you at times, reaching externally for gratification, try turning inwardly and connect to your curious and creative side that we all innately have within us. Maybe it's taking up a painting class, or attending a local workshop, or perhaps it's trying out a new recipe, or even journaling out your emotions. Whatever you feel drawn to, do that and have fun with it. You can consciously create more abundance when you tap into the gifts you have, and when you express your curious and creative side from an authentic place. This not only brings you joy, but it feeds your soul and spirit. I am worthy of love, peace, and fulfilment. 
Clear out the oldIs your home filled with clutter and "too much stuff?" Then perhaps it's time to release the old, and make room for the new. And the new can simply mean, new energy, not more things and stuff. The more energy packed into a space, the less energy for you. When you clear your space, you are energetically releasing things that may have stopped you from feeling abundant, which would seem counter intuitive, but it's not. It just means, too many things can cause a heaviness and can weigh you down, when you release and clear, you feel lighter in your energy, and in your heart. Choose a space to work on first and take your time intentionally going through each item and asking yourself, "does this bring me joy and fulfillment? "Is it something I really need, or is something I can now choose to release." Being super mindful of what we allow to take up space in our lives, materially, and energetically, will have profound effects on the wellbeing of your mind, body, soul, and spirit. I am grateful that I am healthy, happy, and successful." Stop comparing yourself to othersComparison is the thief of joy. But so many of us do it! It's hard not to at times, we see the filtered lives of others running through our newsfeed on a daily basis, but what we are mostly seeing are the highlights, not all the truth that goes on behind the screen. Comparing yourself to others not only takes up your time and energy, but it takes away from the time and energy you could be putting towards your own goals, dreams and desires. It is not a productive thing to do, or a healthy mindset to have as the comparison mindset often comes from a place of lack, fear, and desperation, where an abundant mindset knows there is always enough for everyone. Keep in mind that everyone is on their own unique journey, and when you believe in yourself and in dreams, you will achieve all that you set out to do. Also be sure to commend yourself for all the successes you have already achieved and attracted into your life, never sell yourself short! Instead of comparing yourself to others, just be the best you can be and see yourself as the abundant and successful soul you already are. Start living a more abundant life, right now, by knowing you already are, that which you seek. Everything you need is within you. The vision within me is creating the world around me.
