3 Expand your possibilities
(10 minutes, just once):
Many people get stuck trying to figure out
how money will enter their lives. This holds
them back, because money can come in a
million ways, and once you let that in, you
open to receiving more of it. So expand the
possibilities …
Write down 10 (unexpected) ways money
could come to you. For example: “Your
boss calls and says that the company had
accidentally been taking an extra $50 a week
from your paycheck for an insurance policy
that was no longer active—for over a year!”
(That really happened to one family the day
after they made the choice to consciously
create abundance!)
Just play with this. Imagine scenarios such
as: A long lost relative dies and leaves you
a million dollars. You have an idea and
build a business that skyrockets overnight.
You find an ancient relic worth hundreds of
thousands of dollars in your backyard.
What would you do with the money? How
would your life change? How good can you
imagine life being? This exercise may also
point out some beliefs you may want to
change if you find yourself thinking along the
lines of: “That could never happen to me.”
4 Own your current
abundances (5 minutes a
day—but you could do this
anywhere—even in the
shower!):
For instance, instead of: “I intend to create
more money,” write: “I intend to create enough
money to… And fill in the blank.” Maybe …
Start your own business? Take a month-long
vacation? Remodel the basement? Send
your child to summer camp? Don’t forget
other abundances as well—love, creativity,
fun, etc. But make sure these five things are
things you really want.
There’s nothing like feeling abundant to
draw in more abundance. The more you
feel grateful for the abundances you already
have, the easier even more will come in.
What? You don’t have anything to feel
grateful for? How about blue skies and
sunsets? The freedom to move? The faces
of loved ones? Do you have a roof over
your head? Food in your belly? Do you have
clothes on your back? Why, I’ll bet you even
have more than one set of clothes!
There is always something to feel grateful
for. And the more you pay attention to the
abundance you already receive, the more
abundance will show up in your life.
5 Imagine you already have
everything you want (on
and off throughout the day,
totaling 5-10 minutes a day):
Spend a day imagining that you have your
dream life now. Drive your car as if it’s your
dream car. Wear your clothes as if they’re
designer duds. When you wake up in the
