How to Change Your Life

We all know what it feels like to want something we don’t have. It may be a pair of expensive jeans, a romantic partner, or rent money; it may be a certain attitude, a car, or a savings account. This is part of life, and in the best-case scenario, we experience a constant flow of money and material possessions, companions and experiences, in and out of our lives. However, many of us linger in a state of wanting and not having, a state of lack that never seems to subside. We consistently perceive ourselves as not having what we need or not having what we want. This is an energetically draining state to be in. It is also self-perpetuating because how we feel about ourselves determines what we are able to create for ourselves.

How we feel profoundly influences how we perceive our reality. When we feel we are lacking, we look around and see what is not there. On the other hand, if we feel abundant, we can look at the very same situation and see a completely different picture, one full of blessings and advantages. The more we see the blessings, the more abundant we feel, and the more blessings we attract. Similarly, if we see lack, we tend to create and attract that energy.

If you find yourself habitually residing in a feeling of lack, it may be due to a core belief formed in your childhood or even in a past life. It may be because you are out of touch with your inner divinity, which is the source of your abundance. In any case, know that your perception of lack is a misperception that can be corrected with awareness and effort. It can be as simple as taking 10 or 15 minutes each day to quiet your mind and imagine yourself in a state of unlimited abundance, handling the financial demands and others in your life with total ease, drawing from an endless supply of resources. Know that it is your birthright to be fully supported in the fulfillment of your needs and desires.

10 Ways To Raise Your Vibration
By Aine Belton

Below are some timeless tips that will help you raise your vibration to enhance your manifesting success and connect more to the radiant truth of your being and the bountiful nature of reality.

1. Take Responsibility

As James Allen says, “Circumstance does not make a man, it reveals him to himself’. The more you take responsibility for your life, the more you are able to change it. Responsibility is freedom and empowerment. Become conscious of the thoughts, feelings, beliefs and attitudes that are creating your world. Take responsibility for them and choose those that serve you and your world.

2. Gratitude

Gratitude opens your heart and connects you and aligns your vibration to that which you feel grateful for and as such attracts more of the same into your life. It is a way to give (in its appreciation) and receive (by the opening and expansion of that giving). The more you value and appreciate something, the more there will be to value and appreciate.

3. Trust

Trust takes you towards happy desired outcomes in a magical, effortless way. Trust yourself and your power as a creator. Trust the universe and the gifts it wishes to bestow open you. Trust the doors that are opening and those that are closing. Relinquish control and allow yourself to be carried along the river of trust that will take you to your goals with grace and ease.

4. Suspend judgment

Judging others or yourself lowers and constricts your energy and separates you from love, truth and joy. It is a way of making yourself superior and above another by making them ‘less than’ or ‘wrong’. It can be a way you deny your own self-judgments by projecting your guilt onto another. The more you love and accept yourself, the less you judge others. We all make mistakes. Seek to forgive, love and understand both the one you are tempted to judge and any potential shadows within you that they are reflecting.

5. Meditate

Meditation allows a calm and balanced perspective to be reached and negativity to wash away and dissipate. It creates a gateway through which you can access higher states of consciousness and connect to the love and wisdom of your Higher Self. Meditation returns you to a place of clarity, truth and peace and allows your energy to clear, align, balance and recharge.

6. Honor your emotions

Honor your emotions and listen to what they are telling you about what’s going on inside. If they are negative or uncomfortable what thoughts or beliefs are they pointing to that may need changing or aligning? Express and release your feelings rather than deny, repress, control or judge them. This doesn’t mean wallowing in them or giving them undue attention if they do not serve you (i.e. nip that self-pity in the bud!), nor does it mean venting at someone inappropriately (writing a letter and burning it would be far ‘cleaner’). Honour your emotions by accepting them and allowing them to be released.

7. Know you are loved

You are loved totally and unconditionally by the source of creation. There is nothing you need do to win that love and nothing you can do to lose it. Becoming aware of this truth connects you to your inherent value, increases your sense of worth and deserving, heals pain of separation and loneliness and opens you to the love that is there for you in every moment.

8. Forgive yourself and others

Forgiveness of self and others is the ultimate mind-body-soul detox. It liberates you from whole clusters of toxic emotions and sets you free from draining attachments. It can also set you free from feelings of guilt, shame and undeserving that block you from happiness and success. In forgiving another you are also forgiving yourself. It is an immensely powerful force for healing and transformation and a most gracious gift you can give yourself and another.

9. Have fun

Fun will attract success into your life like iron filings to a magnet. It is the antidote to stress, struggle, tediousness and seriousness. When you are having fun you are open and sharing of who you are and ride on the current of spontaneity and joy. What brings you fun, happiness and joy? Commit to more of it in all areas of your life!

10. Love, Love, Love!

Love yourself and others. There may be times this is easier than others, but make it your overriding intention. Love lies at the heart of all that you seek, and separation from it lies at the root of your troubles and pain. Let love be a guiding light in your life that will steer your ship through stormy waters back to the shore of truth, happiness and joy. We all love to love and be loved! It doesn’t get better than that! It is the highest vibration there is. The more you love yourself and others, the happier, brighter and more successful your life will become.

Excuses Begone!: How to Change Lifelong, Self-Defeating Thinking Habits

I Can’t Afford It

It’s a rare day when I don’t hear some variation of this excuse, including: “I didn’t go to
college because it was too expensive,” “I haven’t been able to travel because I never had the
funds,” and “I couldn’t go into the business I wanted because I had to stay where I was and earn
money to pay the bills.”

I call this belief lame and a cop out, yet there seems to be almost universal agreement for its existence.

You originated in a world of abundance, which you unquestionably have the ability to access.

Whenever you discourage yourself with thoughts that your financial situation is preventing
anything from appearing, that’s an excuse. If you instead decide to bring abundance awareness
into your consciousness, you’ll shift your thoughts from I can’t afford it to Whatever I need in the
form of assistance to guide me in the direction of my life is not only available, but is on its way.

You’ll then consciously watch for the necessary funding to show up, but you’ll also be reminding
yourself to believe that you have the ability to use abundance to elevate your life.

Encourage yourself by realizing that you have the capacity to create a space within you that’s
filled with peace and joy, an inner island of contentment that has nothing to do with money.

Practice gratitude for the essentials of life, which are yours to enjoy virtually free of charge.
These include air, water, fire, the sun, and the moon; the very ground you walk on; the continuous
beating of your heart; the inhaling and exhaling of your lungs; your food digesting; your eyes and
ears; and so on. Be utterly grateful for all that you have naturally, which is beyond the scope of
what’s “affordable.” As that endeavor strengthens, assess what you’d truly like to do, where
you’d like to live, and what creature comforts you desire.

When I made the decision to attend college after spending four years in the military, for
instance, I knew in my heart that money wasn’t going to be the thing that prevented me from
reaching my goals. I understood the costs involved, and I didn’t act on my fear of shortage or
what I couldn’t afford – I acted on my internal knowing that I indeed was going to attend the
university. This knowing prompted me to investigate financial assistance from the government as
a veteran, open a savings account designated for tuition and books, talk with the financial aid
people at the university, and make alternative plans to attend community college, if plan A were
not to materialize. I had a certainty inside of me that the “I can’t afford it” reasoning is an excuse
that many people who aren’t considered wealthy employ as a means for exonerating themselves
when they need a rationalization for why they’re stuck where they are in life.

Oscar Wilde made this wry observation in 1891: “There is only one class in the community
that thinks more about money than the rich, and that is the poor. The poor can think of nothing
else.” I’d add that such thinking includes lamenting the fact that they’ll never have money. I
advise tossing out this meme, and instead rewiring thoughts to connect with what’s intended to
manifest, regardless of your current financial status.

Whatever you feel is your dharma, and no matter how hard that calling seems to be pulling
you, if you maintain the belief that you can’t manage to pull it off, I can assure you that you’re
right. To paraphrase Henry Ford, whether you believe you can afford to do a thing or not, you’re
right.

IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER – by Erma Bombeck
(written after she found out she was dying from cancer)
this is great advice on how to Change your life – right now- don’t wait for a diagnosis
or the ‘right time’- Do it NOW. Here are her words:

I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren’t
there for the day.
I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.

I would have talked less and listened more.

I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained, or the sofa faded.

I would have eaten the popcorn in the ‘good’ living room and worried much less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace.

I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.

I would have shared more of the responsibility carried by my husband.

I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.

I would have sat on the lawn with my grass stains.

I would have cried and laughed less while watching television and more while watching life.

I would never have bought anything just because it was
practical, wouldn’t show soil, or was guaranteed to last a lifetime.

Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy, I’d have cherished every moment and realized that the wonderment growing inside me was the only chance in life to assist God in a miracle.

When my kids kissed me impetuously, I would never have said, ‘Later. Now go get washed up for dinner.’ There would have been more ‘I love you’s’ More ‘I’m sorry’s.’

But mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every minute. look at it and really see it…… live it and never give it back. STOP SWEATING THE SMALL
STUFF!!!

Don’t worry about who doesn’t like you, who has more, or who’s doing what.
Instead, let’s cherish the relationships we have with those who do love us!
