Have you ever believed that attracting money and other forms of abundance was difficult? Most of us have at one time or another. Here’s the problem with that viewpoint: according to the Law of Attraction, it must be true!
For years I labored under a belief that I had to work hard to make money. When I worked really hard, I had plenty of money. When I stopped working hard, the money stopped coming in. No big surprise, right?
What WAS a surprise, however, was what happened when I began changing that belief. Little by little, I began to notice that money was coming to me more easily. At first it was small amounts; $10 here and $20 there. But the more I strengthened my new belief that money comes to me easily, the amounts and frequency began to grow. Before long I had created a daily game where I would visualize prosperity flowing effortlessly into my life, and then watch it happen on a physical level shortly afterwards.
If you could see a snapshot of my life several years ago and another one from today, you’d be astounded at the difference! And YOU can create these same changes in your own life too.
Here’s a simple 3-step process for making prosperity attraction EASY:
1) Explore your beliefs about money and abundance. The tricky thing about beliefs is that they are often subconscious. You may not even realize you have limiting beliefs about abundance until you begin really examining how you feel. Take some time to ask yourself questions like these and write down your answers:
- Do I really believe that money can come to me easily?
- Why or why not?
- My biggest obstacle in attracting more money right now is . . .
- My relationship with money is . . .
- I just don’t believe that . . .
- I want to believe that . . .
Be sure not to censor your answers. Just let them fly right out! Believe me, once you start delving into these concepts you’ll gain a lot of clarity about yourself and your beliefs!
2) Begin changing your beliefs. As an example let’s say you discovered a belief that you can’t receive money except through your job, and your job doesn’t offer any chances for advancement. Obviously, such a belief will keep you locked in place financially! How would you change this belief? I’d do two things:
- First, begin affirming constantly that money can come to you in limitless ways - both expected and unexpected! Just because YOU can’t see any possibilities doesn’t mean the universe can’t. In fact, sometimes you’ll be astounded at the miracles that can happen when you believe in the possibilities.
- Second, do what you can to help the universe work on your behalf. That means creating “gateways” through which abundance can enter your life. You might apply for a better job that offers more opportunity for advancement; or start your own part-time business. You can enter contests, sweepstakes, and buy lottery tickets (do this moderately; don’t put yourself into debt thinking you’ll have a better chance of winning - if you really want to win you can do so with one ticket as easily as you can with several). If you happen to see an opportunity to receive more abundance, go for it! Sometimes the universe will send you a fantastic opportunity or give you a little nudge in a certain direction. Always pay attention to these and give them your best shot. Even if they don’t create a windfall immediately, they may lead to more opportunities later.
Ultimately there are no right or wrong ways to change your beliefs. Probably the simplest way is to keep reinforcing the opposite belief until it replaces your old belief, and take action when you can; but listen to your heart for the ways that work best for you. YOU are your own best expert! 
Let your intution guide you and you cannot go wrong.
3) Finally, be patient with yourself. I’ve made a lot of progress over the past few years, but I still have moments where I slip back into that old thinking again! It will probably happen that way for you too. Remember that changing your beliefs is a PROCESS, not a one-time event. Give yourself some time to make that inner adjustment. When you notice that you’ve slipped back into old lack-focused thoughts, simply clear your mind and start fresh again. The more you do it, the easier it will become!

You hear it all the time; “Gratitude is powerful!” Have you ever wondered just HOW powerful?
When it comes to the Law of Attraction, gratitude creates a super-charged boost of energy that attracts all wonderful things into your life. You’ve probably heard that before. But why is it so powerful? One reason is because you’re focusing on the positive, so you automatically attract more positive experiences into your life - you’ve probably heard that before too.
But what you may not know is what happens ENERGETICALLY when you’re focusing on gratitude. Remember that the Law of Attraction is activated according to your thoughts, feelings, beliefs and expectations. Whatever you think, feel, believe and expect is what you’ll get.
What does this have to do with gratitude? To answer that question, consider what you are thinking, feeling, believing and expecting when you feel grateful and appreciative.
- You feel blessed.
- You feel abundant.
- You feel happy.
- You feel content.
- You feel secure.
- You feel like all is right in your world.
And when you focus on these types of feelings, you are sending a strong message to the universe that all of these things are TRUE. And you know what the universe says? “You’re absolutely right! Here’s your wealth. Here’s some more joy. Here’s some more good stuff - thanks for asking for it, I’ve been trying to send it to you but you wouldn’t let it in!”
I’ve long believed in the power of gratitude, but it didn’t fully come clear to me until recently when I set an intention to “Live From Gratitude” for an entire day. “Living From Gratitude” meant that I would give sincere thanks for everything I experienced, saw, felt, heard or did that day. Let me tell you, that’s a LOT of gratitude!
I must have said “thank you” thousands of times that day. The moment I opened my eyes that morning, I began giving thanks for everything in my life. I called to mind my friends and family, my job, my home, my health - even my cats. And I gave thanks for them. Not just “surface thanks,” but deep, heartfelt gratitude.
As I went about my normal daily activities, I thanked the universe for everything I touched or experienced. As I washed the dishes, I said, “Thank you for these dishes to hold the food we eat, and thank you for the food we eat! Thank you for this silverware - it was a wedding gift to my husband and I; and thank you for my wonderful husband!”
The whole time I worked at my job I said over and over, “Thank you for my work and the way it fulfills me. Thank you for the opportunity to earn money doing something I love. Thank you for the ways my work challenges me and reminds me that I’m stronger than I often think I am.”
As I moved through my day, I gave thanks for my feet as I walked, for my lungs as I breathed, for my eyes as I looked at the world around me, and I gave thanks for every person I encountered - and more!
A lot of great things happened as a result of that one day of Living From Gratitude - too many to list here. Overall, I’d have to say that true miracles happened. My income for that day ended up being TRIPLE what it normally is. I received a couple of fantastic opportunities that I’ve begun working on, and good things happened everywhere I went.
But that outer stuff is just the icing on the cake. The TRUE GIFT of that day is the way I felt. Everything suddenly seemed so SACRED. Everything in my life was good. I was good. I was happy. I was at peace. I wasn’t stuck or struggling or fearful or frustrated.
My heart and mind were lifted to a place that few people get to experience. It was a deeply moving, spiritual experience on all levels.
I have NEVER experienced a day more POWER-FULL as that one! In fact, it was so powerful that I’ve since adopted it as an ongoing intention every day. And yes, every day becomes more magical than the one before!
If you’ve never given gratitude a fair chance or if you’ve been lukewarm in your application of it, try “Living From Gratitude” for one day. Just one day. Give thanks for everything you see, feel, hear, do and experience. It will blow your mind!
As a side note, this same process can be used on things that you don’t yet have, but want to attract! For example, if you’re trying to attract a better job, spend the whole day saying, “Thank you so much for my wonderful new job! It pays so well and I get to do work I truly LOVE, and I am so thankful for that!” Don’t just say the words; really focus on FEELING the feelings of gratitude and appreciation. The words mean nothing without the feelings.
FEEL IT AND YOU’LL “BE” IT!
