What It Takes to Become an Abundance Magnet By Evelyn Lim

In our wildest dreams, we would all like the idea of being an abundance magnet. Being one allows us to live a life of our desire. We do not have to struggle nor have to worry about our ability to pay off our monthly loan installments.

In reality, while many of us have these dreams, we actually have problems manifesting abundance for ourselves. However, if we can understand the mechanics of magnetizing abundance, then we would have fewer problems in making our dreams come true.

To begin with, you would need to make a firm intent. The worst way to try to accomplish any goal is to be doubtful. When you have doubt, you basically do not have believe in yourself and that it is possible.

Being undecided sabotages your ability to becoming an abundance magnet. You can't decide to be abundant one day, and then wish you had your old mediocre life back the next day. Instead of always belly aching, use your on-going desires to motivate you to change from a life of lack to a life of abundance.

In order to be an abundance magnet, you have to train your mind to shift into having more positive thoughts. If you are constantly thinking that you will never be able to live the type of life you've always wanted, I guarantee that abundance will never enter your life.

If you are not accustomed to thinking positive thoughts, you may initially face some problems in changing your mindset. Habits take time to form. Whether good or bad ones. Hence, even though it may take some time to adjust to your new way of thinking, be sure not to give up!

It is equally important to picture yourself being an abundance magnet. In order to create a clear picture in your mind, it can be helpful to create a vision board that has images of the life you desire. However, do make it a point not to solely focus on just materialistic desires. Attaining them may not necessarily make you happy.

It is important to consider what abundance means to you and what your true dreams are. Doing so helps you to align with the desires in your heart. You increase your ability to magnetizing abundance when you engage a spiritual center of your being.

Becoming an abundance magnet does not mean that you do not take any actions in reaching for your dreams. You still need to take actions. If an inspired idea that will help you create the abundance in the area that you are looking for comes, you need to follow up with action. An idea that is aligned to your heart is not likely to feel like hard work. Instead of experiencing struggle, you will feel an intense passion.

Even if you experience a setback, it is important that you stay focused on your dream of abundance. Avoid giving in to doubt. On the other hand, always keep your thoughts positive. Becoming an abundance magnet can only become a reality when you realize that you truly deserve abundance, and expect it in your life.

7 Effective Habits for Manifesting Abundance By Evelyn Lim

Living a life of abundance is only a dream for some. However, living a life of true happiness does not have to remain a fantasy. The possibility of becoming happy is as much of a possibility as anything else. Don’t know where to start?

Consider making some effective changes to your habits. Your habits are actions and behavior that you are regularly energetically engaged in. You have already manifested your current situation with your existing habits, words and behavior. Hence, in order to change your reality, consider making changes to your habitual patterns. The following are seven habits which you can develop or change in order to manifest for abundance:


1. Think Abundantly – Your thoughts are ultimately what control your reality. For example, if you think abundantly, you will attract abundance. People are like magnets and attract to them the energies they put out into the universe. Ever notice how you tend to attract like-minded people? Your thoughts are a powerful tool that should be used wisely. So focus on positive thoughts.


2. Emotional Clearing – Your negative emotions can get you down. To manifest for abundance, it is important that you are in a positive vibrational state. Get into the habit of regular emotional clearing work. Instead of putting them aside, allow yourself to be present with what you actually feel. Holding a sense of equanimity, you will find their energies dissipating.


3. Use Visualization – In order to experience the life of your desire, it helps to have a picture in your mind. Visualization can be practiced at any time of the day. The more attention you placed on this picture, the greater your ability to attract it into being. Envision your dream often enough and turn it into a reality.


4. Use Words wisely. Find yourself cursing, swearing and using vulgar words? You will need to correct this habit. Words have an emotional energy to them. They start from seeds of thoughts. Words reflect what you think. So if you notice what you are saying is negative, start to make necessary changes.


5. Surround Yourself with Positive People – People who are miserable do not want you to be happy and will do everything they can to hold you back from achieving your dreams. Realize that they do not have control over you, although it may seem that way.

Don’t be in the habit of hanging out with negative people. In every way you can, surround yourself with people who are positive, loving and uplifting.


6. Be Open to Receiving – A bad habit to have is the refusal to accept help, gifts or compliments graciously. We are only too happy to give but we find ourselves saying no when others offer something unexpected to us.

We say no because we believe that we are not deserving. For abundance manifesting however, we need to believe otherwise. We need to believe that we are as deserving as anyone else. So retrain yourself into receiving openly.


7. Express Gratitude – Get into the habit of expressing your gratitude daily. Express your thanks for all the blessings that you enjoy: the earth, the moon, your body, family, life and so on. Be connected with joy. When you express your gratitude, the Universe blesses you with more!

"Wealth, like happiness, is never attained when sought after directly. It comes as a by-product of providing a useful service."

Henry Ford

[winston]

Anything you are giving your attention to is an invitation to the essence of it.

Saying, I want money, but it will not come, is the same as saying, "Come to me, absence of money, which I do not want."

When you are thinking of money in the way that will make it come to you, you always feel good.

When you are thinking of money in the way that keeps it from coming to you, you always feel bad. That is how you know the difference.


--- Abraham

It’s true everyone needs resources to pay for your bills, vacations, etc., yet beyond that there is no purpose.

But the greed drives you nuts. Just make enough money to pay bills, and if you have extra money donate it to charity. Don’t make making money a priority in life.
~ Dr. Pillai
