Are You Creating or Blocking Abundance?
by Claudia Ferryman
Why did you choose to be an entrepreneur? Each of us probably has a different answer to this question. Perhaps we have a desire to challenge ourselves or to discover our true potential. Or maybe we need to fulfill a mission, achieve goals, make a difference in the world, or to create abundance in all areas of our lives. For many of us, creating abundance seems to be the most elusive objective to achieve.
Are your thoughts and words always congruent with what you want? Or are you focusing on what you do not want? It is important to bring conscious awareness to any thoughts or words that may be creating a reality you do not wish to have. And equally important is to actively work toward changing it.
Our minds cannot compute a negative. Try not to think about a pink elephant. If you are like most people, you will find yourself promptly creating an image of an elephant, colouring it pink, and then attempting to cancel the thought. In his autobiography, Peter Ustinov recalls a childhood game that he and his brother used to play. Each would go off into their own corner and try not to visualize a white elephant. It was a game that neither of them could win. Remember, you get what you focus on!
Examine your language patterns
Pay attention to what you are saying because it can impact your outcome.
Without you realizing it, your language patterns may reinforce a mentality
of scarcity. Become mindful of your terminology and selection of phrases.
In the case of money, we constantly hear people in our workshops using
phrases that do not promote a healthy attitude toward attracting money.
Examples that promote poverty include "I am always broke", "It's
too expensive", and "Money is the root of all evil."
Embrace a psychology of abundance
Replace poverty thoughts with those of abundance. If you state "I
am becoming debt-free," you are supporting a psychology of abundance,
as opposed to saying "I will never make ends meet," which will
not. If you catch yourself making a remark or thinking something that
does not support an attitude of abundance, immediately acknowledge your
awareness of it. Then replace it with a positive, even humorous statement.
This procedure will help to break the pattern. Remember, you get what
you focus on!
Clear the way for abundance
Clear a path of all the negative emotions, thoughts, words, and actions
that are blocking the way for abundance to come to you. Remove clutter
from your mind and your surroundings. Why not donate something to someone
who really needs it? When you give things away, you are conditioning your
mind to believe that there is more than enough. Achieve clarity by defining
what is truly valuable to you and by setting congruent intentions. Remember,
you get what you focus on!
Learn tools and methodologies to assist you
One of the most powerful and reliable accelerated human change technologies
is Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). NLP offers us insights into how
our inner environment affects our ability to create abundance. NLP studies
how we think and how the words we use influence us. It offers practical
ways to overcome thoughts, words, and behaviours that reinforce a poor
mentality.
Comments and feedback are welcome.
