Once there was a woman. I will call her Janet. She was struggling immensely with her marriage and her pocket book. Her business was failing, her home was close to foreclosure and her husband wanted a divorce. While her world seemed to be falling down around her she wondered why her years of positive affirmations and visualization were mounting toward such seemingly negative drama. She asked “Why am I creating exactly the opposite of what I want?”
There is actually a deeper reason Janet attracted the challenges she faced. Because of challenges of her youth, Janet actually believed she didn’t deserve abundance or joy in her life. This engrained perception left Janet attracting situations where she would subconsciously validate this belief that she somehow, wasn’t worthy enough to receive the blessings she prayed for.
Generally when we struggle to create abundance in our lives, whether it’s a great flow of money or more love in our relationships, hidden feelings of being “less than” others or “underserving of blessings and goodness” leave us unknowingly sabotaging our success.
Sometimes in order to attract the very thing we want, we need to change something within ourselves so we can become the kind of person we attract, and achieve our greatest wish. Because deep personal change can be brought about through personal trails and challenges, it’s not common for those who seek something new in their lives to unknowingly manifest personal struggles as part of their learning process on the road to transformation and change.
Often we can misjudge our circumstances (or other’s) as failures and further evidence of trouble, when in fact sometimes, ill circumstances are a sign of personal transformation.
Here are 10 tips to creating abundance in your life:
- Maintain focus…Keep your eye on the ball. Indecision breeds procrastination. You can hit only what you aim at. Outdoorsmen always sight in a gun before hunting. Your goals should be no different. It requires regular focus to hit them. To gain focus, consider using essential oils like cassia, lime, germanium or lavender–they are grounding and helpful when transitioning out of denial and moving forward.
- Be honest—always. Nothing will make your life more complicated that lying to yourself or others. Facing circumstances squarely may seem challenging, but it’s the simplest way to live a healthy and joyful life. Remember honesty is what you say to yourself and not only what you say to others. To promote honesty with yourself, consider using frankincense or wild orange essential oils.
- Prepare. Everything you need or want has a way of showing up as soon as you are ready for it. The sooner you are prepared, the faster you’ll realize results. The sooner you’re prepared, the faster you’ll realize results. Lemon and basil essential oils actually clear out the toxic fog in your brain.
- Have faith. Hopeful wishing is an excellent started, but a not so good finisher. It is faith coupled with perseverance that leads you across the finish line. Faith comes after hope-it is believing without doubt. Experiment with myrrh or sandalwood oils to balance your head and heart and bring you home to truth, which leads to faith.
- Keep it positive. The three things you have full power over are your thoughts, words and actions. Orange, bergamot and vetiver essential oils influence what you think, say and do!
- Stay educated. Knowledge is the key that unlocks the door to dreams. Your individual success will depend upon increasing intelligence. Lemon, peppermint and sandalwood oils support knowledge integration.
- Be courageous. Breaking out of old complicated patterns takes guts! If your purpose is worthy and your pursuit is sincere, with bravery you can establish behavior patterns, thoughts, and choices that feed simple, happy and successful lives.
- Go the extra mile. When you are spiritually compelled to reach out and serve, do it with high definition! It is a spiritual truth that which you put out comes back to you 100 fold. Serve! Go the extra mile! Geranium, immortelle grapefruit or white fir essential oils will support you in this process.
- Drop the ego you can’t become the master of anything until you become the master of your own ego. While believing in yourself is important and healthy if your success is ego based, your failure is imminent.
- Be willing to work. Healthy self-esteem grows with good old-fashioned hard work. Anyone whose hit his mark will tell you that dreams aren’t made without it.
