When I ask people what their definition of
abundance is, I receive a myriad of different definitions, The idea of being abundant is personal, and means something
different to everyone. But simply put,
I’d define abundance as the “cup runneth over” feeling. Whether that means a house full of kids, a
fat check, more opportunities, happy relationships, it seems that abundance is something we’re all
after. It seems that one similar theme that many feel
is that abundance is something we get “after.”
After we’ve written that best seller, worked a business into a million
dollar deal, raised the kids and retired, hit the lottery, fallen in love, etc. But what I’m learning is that we may have it
backwards. Part of our ability to feel
satisfied is to extract more pleasure from the things that are right in front
of us. Perhaps if we convince ourselves that everything we want are things we
already have, our cups will runneth over right now. After all, if we continue to wait until
circumstances are right to feel abundant, it may always elude us. Here are some ways to fill your cup and feel
abundant right now.
1.
Make a gratitude journal that you write in every
day. Not only write what you are
grateful for, but WHY. Spend time
looking at all you have now, and remember what you have done to attain it
2.
When you lay in bed at night, review your day as
if it were the best day of your life, regardless of what happened. Review your accomplishments. Think about what did work out. Use this time to chase away the negative
attitude that may have developed during the day and it will add a sense of
fullness and satisfaction.
3.
Think about a time when you felt like life was
really going your way, and things felt abundant. Remember that thing you really wanted and
got? The person you really wanted to
meet and did? Perhaps a beloved perfume
or piece of furniture you acquired after wanting it. How often have you enjoyed that moment or
that thing since you attained it?
Appreciate the things you have received, appreciate all you have right
now. See? You really are abundant now!
