5 Things that Block Your Flow of Abundance and What to do Instead
My take on abundance is that it’s always here, always available. It’s on tap 24/7, ready to pour into your existence. And it’s our scarcity thinking, old stories, and patterns that stop the natural flow of abundance. And all the years of coaching others and my personal work point to this:
No, you don’t have to earn abundance, and you don’t have to wait until you deserve it. It just is.
And I’m talking about abundance in all good things – an abundance of health, wealth, time, laughter, joy… Full, unbridled abundance.
So why might you not be feeling abundance in your life right now?
Old neural patterns, ideas of scarcity, and negative beliefs about money and prosperity divert our focus and keep the abundance-that-always-is out of our awareness much of the time. We get bogged down by our sensory experience and lose sight of all the prosperity and plenty that is around us.
Want to experience more abundance in your life? Yeah, me too! To do that, you must stop doing the following:
- Stop blaming. Stop blaming other people, situations, circumstances, etc. for your life experience. Take responsibility for your outcomes and remember that you’re doing the best you can. And then, focus on doing better.
- Stop telling yourself that you’re not worthy to have the things that you want. If you’re breathing, you’re worthy. You just are. And so is everybody else.
- Stop feeling guilty. Guilt serves a purpose in small doses but the way most people guilt themselves serves no one.
- Stop feeling shame. Let it go.
- Stop feeling resentful. Let go of past negative interactions with others.
Guilt, shame, and resentment don’t happen in a vacuum. You have established neural networks that contain these emotions that are triggered by some external event or memory. Be mindful of the events and then follow the suggestions below.
Instead of doing all the things that stop the flow of abundance, do the following:
- Cling to self-love. If you find it challenging to feel love for yourself, then imagine what it would be like if you did, and soak in that possibility. This will begin the process of creating a self-love container at an unconscious level.
- Live your vision of abundance as if it’s happening now. The free 21-Day Money Mindset Rewrite has a clever exercise for helping you do just this. I dare you to try it and see what happens.
- Interrupt old patterns. When you notice that you’re feeling uncomfortable with your current life experience, pause what you’re doing, and get in a feel-good state. Then return to what you were doing in that refreshed state. When you feel uncomfortable again, pause again to take time to get into a better state. Those good states will last longer and longer if you practice them. This is how you control your state in your moment-to-moment experience.
- Stay in gratitude. Actively look for the plentitude and the goodness that is all around you.
