So often we focus on what is going wrong in our lives or our day… but how often do we spend time thinking of what we already have or would rather have?
I see way too many people focus on what is lacking, versus the abundance that already is, or the possibility of what is to come!
Take a moment to answer this question and don’t skip ahead 😉
- What are the 3 words that pop into your mind with this word: Job
Pause a moment
Pause a moment
Pause a moment
Pause a moment
Pause a moment
Pause a moment
Pause….
Ok, do you have your 3 words? How easy was it to come up with the words? What were the FIRST words that popped into your head before you started analyzing for the perfect 3 words?
You see, there are categories of words that reflect your own resonance with the word “Job”. For example:
- Words that are similar to: Sucks, 9-5, Ok, Annoying, Not Fulfilling, etc. tend to reflect all the things that are going wrong.
- Words that are similar to: Love, Thankful, Creative, Friends, Mentors, etc. reflect all the things that are enabling you to feel gratitude and the things that are going well.
This exercise is a great way to see in which areas of your life you focus on the lack rather than the abundance/desire.
You can apply this exercise to any word and you might be surprised to see what words pop into your head. And of course, try not to analyze or change the words right away. The point here is to allow yourself to be honest with what comes up so you can pinpoint what’s truly going on.
Do you see how changing your focus can make you see and feel things differently? How one word can change your enter feeling state toward something much more positive and healthy?
Give it a shot today, focus on what’s working or what you’re sure is coming into your life and see just how different the world looks.
In Abundance,
