Let’s explore how to live an abundant life, and really dig into what abundance and manifestation are, and how you can tune into it.

The Most Powerful Affirmations Of Gratitude To Cultivate A Mindset Of Thankfulness
Gratitude is so much more than just saying ‘thank you’. It’s a heart-centered energy that’s directly associated with a high vibration, and feelings of happiness, joy, and fulfillment.

Therefore, the authentic path to happiness involves experiencing more gratitude, which is wisdom shed in every religion and spiritual belief system. We know that gratitude is an important piece of the happiness puzzle, which is why affirmations of gratitude can help us arouse these feelings and connect more deeply to a place of joy.

We’ve previously discussed what gratitude is and why it’s such an It’s a key component in our ability to manifest abundance and thoroughly enjoy our lives. Now we’re going to take command of our feelings with affirmations of gratitude – heartfelt statements that can shift us into a frame of gratitude.

What are affirmations of gratitude?

Affirmations are statements that challenge negative thoughts and help us shift our thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes toward happier ideals. By repeating affirmations regularly, we can reshape our mental ecosystem and cultivate a healthier mindset.

Affirmations of gratitude are written statements or cues that help us connect with feelings of gratitude. When paired with gratitude, affirmations become a tool to reinforce appreciation, helping us shift from a mindset of scarcity to one of abundance. They remind us of the blessings in our lives, help us notice just how good we have it, and overall encourage a more positive outlook.

By intentionally expressing gratitude through affirmations, we cultivate a deeper appreciation for the present moment. For example, saying, “I am grateful for the support in my life” can enhance our awareness of our relationships, and appreciate them more whole-heartedly.

Consistently practicing affirmations can lead to greater happiness, improved relationships, and a more fulfilling life.

List of affirmations of gratitude

I suggest taking 10 minutes daily, or as often as you can to speak aloud the following affirmations of gratitude that resonate most with you. It’s important to focus on the emotions, and genuinely feel into the sensations of appreciation as you affirm these statements to yourself.

Affirmations of gratitude aim to inspire the feeling of gratitude. Words are just shells if they don’t arouse emotion. Therefore, prioritize feeling gratitude and appreciation and rather use these phrases to think about, and inspire emotion.

It’s also better to focus on the present when you’re going over affirmations of gratitude. It’s better to use affirmations that are relevant to your current position because if you aren’t, they’re not going to hit.

With that said, let’s look at some powerful affirmations of gratitude for every moment.

Here are some practical ways to incorporate your affirmations of gratitude into your daily life:

Morning Rituals: Start your day by reciting a few affirmations of gratitude. This sets a positive tone for the day ahead.

Stay Consistent: Make gratitude affirmations a daily habit, even on days when it feels difficult. Consistency can lead to lasting change.

Regularly drill in the affirmations that you connect with to gradually connect more deeply with gratitude and appreciation.

How To Overcome The Infamous Money Block
Do you believe that money has always been something separate to you, that financial abundance is a distant dream reserved for a certain class of people? Perhaps you feel as if the universe is conspiring to separate you from your earnings (or lack of). Therefore, you live in fear, worry, and constant uncertainty about your finances.

Not a fun feeling.

If this sounds like you, you likely have a money block that causes you to push it away energetically. That’s why this whole money thing has been so elusive. On one level or another, you’re in a toxic relationship with money, so it treats you like a bad boyfriend. Unreliable, and never there when you need it.

A money block refers to any barrier you have towards receiving money. This barrier can be physical, mental, emotional, or energetic (and probably a combination of all the above). Money blocks usually come in the form of negative belief systems, mindsets, and feelings regarding money, that hinder the flow of it.

If you want to live an abundant life where money simply flows, then you need to address this core block that may have been seeded long ago. This is what we’re going to dive into here. How can you identify a money block, and what steps can you take to resolve it?

Why your relationship with money matters

For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a turbulent relationship with money. Always enough to go around, but never enough to feel secure.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve never been poor. I grew up in a middle-class family. I’ve always had enough money to live a comfortable life, however, there has been a deep-rooted fear of running out that has certainly impacted the quality of my life.

To be transparent with you, I have not completely overcome my money block. It would be a lie to say money is oozing in from every angle (and out of every crevice), and that I feel abundant. But what I will say is that my relationship with money has improved a lot.

I may not have a lot, yet I have managed to live a nomadic lifestyle for the past 8 years, picking up odd jobs, regularly staying in cute apartments, and seeing beautiful places. My work-life balance is great, but there has always been a worry in the back of my mind.

‘When will the next paycheck come in?’

But it started when I was young. I remember feeling guilty for any money that was spent on me outside of food and necessities. Even though we were always okay financially, I remember my parents stressing about money.

My relationship with money changed as I started backpacking. This was both the best and worst choice I ever made. It has changed my life in incredible ways, but it hasn’t been good for my relationship with money, which is expected I guess.

Sure, it’s my own lifestyle choice and I claim it, trading financial security for freedom. A perspective of scarcity believing I can have one or the other which I’ll get into later. But this frame of mind didn’t help. As a money block is metaphysical, it will manifest in your life in different forms.

I’ve been robbed several times. I have lost many things. I am, today, still owed thousands of dollars from friends I helped out, employers who withheld my payment after I left, and even an employer who did a runner with all the teacher’s salaries (yes I was one of them) during the pandemic, leaving dozens of teachers unpaid for months.

Sometimes when I’m getting ahead, I’ll be slapped with an unexpected fine, bill, or medical expense. Something will come out of the water at the seemingly wrong time to kick me back to the ground. I have seemed to be unfortunate with money (look, another limiting belief).

But this has been a process of learning. A process of seeing and understanding that if we don’t have a good relationship with money, the universe will find one way or another to point our attention to this block, until we overcome it.

So, is the universe trying to keep us separated from money, or is it trying to teach us how to develop a better relationship with it? This is an important distinction because illuminating your struggles with money is the first step to developing a better relationship with it.

Do money blocks correspond to your financial situation?

Essentially, a money block sabotages your financial success, as it’s an emotional, psychological, and spiritual barrier to financial stability. Often with money blocks, there is a deeper underlying issue that is energetic. Think of it as an energetic wound that hasn’t yet healed.

After all, we are magnets for our realities, based on factors like vibration. Money blocks impact your financial situation, but there is no direct correlation. Wealthy people may have money blocks. They may have accumulated a lot of wealth, yet hold a poverty mindset as if they’re still in survival.

Likewise, some people who have little at all may have no money block. They may live an abundant life without thinking about money or stressing about money. They know that they are supported by the universe, spend it generously, and there’s no bad energy surrounding money.

There is a metaphysical component to a money block. Something is out of tune with your energy, causing you to repel situations that bring in money. After all, currency is just some digits floating in a bank account. It’s not real, but the energy certainly is.

What keeps people poor is not their abilities, knowledge, or any other thing preventing them from being financially successful, although these can be contributing factors. More so, what keeps people poor is a block that they perceive to be who they are, so they never overcome it, believing that there is no other option besides poverty.

Of course, some people have advantages, some people have disadvantages. Someone raised in a wealthy, business-oriented family likely doesn’t have a money block as they were raised in a setting where money flowed, making it easy for them to step into this flow. Other people have to figure it out and start from ground zero, but it doesn’t mean they too can’t develop a healthy relationship with money, and thrive.

How do we develop money blocks?

The beliefs and ideas your parents had around money usually set the stage for your relationship with money.

Growing up, our minds are sponges, and we soak up the beliefs around us. Therefore, money blocks, in this sense, are often hereditary as an idea unconsciously seeded by the parent, and rooted in the child.

See, my dad grew up in poverty. His dad abandoned him at the ripe age of 2, and his mother was left to take care of 4 kids, supported by welfare.

Of course, being a caring kid, he took responsibility by helping out where he could, and cutting expenses where he could. He ended up doing fine for himself, currently retired and living a modest lifestyle. However, I feel I adopted some of these insecurities when I was younger.

This seed can spout into feelings of unworthiness, or perhaps the idea that money is associated with feelings like stress and worry, so you begin to energetically push it away.

Of course, we must take responsibility for our lives. Blaming someone else will not help you resolve a block, but it is important to identify the influences in your life that may have contributed to this block. By identifying where this money block may have come from, we can see more clearly why we developed it, and take action to resolve it.

How money blocks manifest

What you need to understand is that money is an energy. There’s a spiritual element to the transfer of money. There is a flow that some people are receptive to, and others shut themselves out from. It’s not about money per se, but rather abundance. Money is a tool (and only a tool) to help you create abundance in your life.

Therefore, a money block isn’t simply about the acquisition of money. This energy will manifest in all sorts of ways, impacting your life financially, either for the better or worse, in myriad ways. As you can manifest joy and abundance, you can also manifest barriers.

But how do you know if you have a money block?

Well, usually it’s quite easy to gauge your relationship with money. If it flows easily and you feel no obstacles are preventing it from coming into your life abundantly, then you likely don’t have a money block. Likewise, if you feel abundant, then you probably don’t have a money block.

But there’s a little more nuance to it. Sometimes it can be difficult to know whether you have a money block. Therefore, we’re going to look at some ways that money-related situations manifest in your life with both a positive relationship with money (no money block) and a negative relationship with money (a money block).
Positive relationship with money

Job and work opportunities seem to come easily to you

Job opportunities are often high-paying

You don’t feel stressed about money

You feel abundant emotionally

You trust that you will always be taken care of by the universe

You are willing to spend and you aren’t afraid to treat yourself

Mostly positive emotions arise when thinking about money

You believe money is a good thing, and you like it

You know your worth and how much value you provide

You know how to receive and graciously accept

Money tends to come to you in mysterious ways (spontaneous gifts, unexpected refunds, great discounts, finding money, etc.)

Negative relationship with money

Reasonable job opportunities are generally hard to come by

The jobs you work are generally low-paying

You think about all the competition and get discouraged easily

You are often taken advantage of in your work

You lack trust that you will be taken care of by the universe

You constantly think about how you’re going to make it through financially

You worry about spending

Mostly negative emotions arise when thinking about money

You have a stigma about money or associate it with greed

You tend to lose money regularly (unexpected fines, withheld payments, medical expenses, higher taxes, theft or robbery)

You tend to make bad business choices, either consciously or unconsciously

You tend to play the victim

You tend to self-sabotage when it comes to money-related opportunities

You feel stuck in your financial position or career

You may fear making money
Inspect your beliefs about money

If you want to improve your relationship with money, you need to inspect your beliefs around money.

When I think about money, I often feel stressed. Deeper thoughts start rising to the surface, such as ‘What happens if I run out’, ‘How will I ever afford a house’, and ‘I will never make it in life’. Accompanying these feelings is a thick blanket of dense emotions.

Let me tell you, these beliefs, attitudes, and feelings certainly did not serve me. So you need to catch them when they pop up, knowing that they’re not going to do you any wonders.

What feelings do you associate with money?

Think about the feelings that arise when you think about money, work, or your financial situation. This is a good way to identify what you associate with money. Do any of the following emotions arise when you think about your financial situation or money in general?

Fear, worry, or stress (you are scared that you may not make it)

Shame (you feel ashamed of your financial situation, and tend to hide it)

Guilt (borrowing money from family or friends, not paying back a loan, taking more than you give, etc.)

Jealousy (you compare yourself to others)

Unfairness (you think the wealth gap is unjust)

Resentment (believing wealthy people are generally greedy)

These are all low-vibrational energies, meaning they’re repellents for abundance. If low-vibrational energies arise when you think about money, then your relationship with money is low-vibrational = bad.

The aim of the game is to get to a stage where you experience high-vibrational energies when you think about money, because these energies will begin to magnetize it. Energies you want to feel include gratitude, joy, love, compassion, generosity, and so forth.

What negative influences may have contributed to this block?

Think about different experiences or circumstances that may have led to this money block. Dig deep and think about your past, and any situation that you can remember that may have drilled a negative association with money.

Here are some reasons why I may have developed this money block:

Remembering my parents complaining about money

Being bullied when I was a kid and being told I’m a loser

Feeling guilty for ordering on the more expensive side when eating out

Being rejected from many low-paying job offers that may have caused me to feel worthless

Being robbed multiple times

Being cheated by employers multiple times

Now you do the same, and try to identify why you may have this block.

What limiting beliefs do you have around money?

Limiting beliefs are usually a major contributing factor to a money block. If you believe you are undeserving, or not good enough, or that money is hard to come by, then this is the reality you’re going to manifest for yourself.

After all, we create our realities, and our focus plays a big role. Therefore, if you focus on limitations, hindrances, or blocks, these obstacles are going to become very real.

I want you to write down all of your negative beliefs and ideas about money that don’t serve you.

I’ll go first:

I’m not good at business (I used to tell myself this a lot)

I associated fortune with greed

I felt unworthy (This is one I still struggle with sometimes, feeling that I don’t deserve wealth and fortune)

I felt I couldn’t offer value in anything I did (believing I couldn’t add value to employers led to me throwing in the flag

I don’t need money to be happy

The latter is what I always told myself, not realizing that this mentality isn’t the shining beacon of spirituality I thought it was. Being on a spiritual journey, I would tell myself that I don’t need money, or that I don’t need money to be happy.

Okay, now that we have diagnosed where these money blocks lie, it’s time to do the work.

How to change your beliefs around money

Now let’s get to the most important stuff in this article. How can you overcome a money block? There are different techniques you can do such as journaling, meditating, and focusing on why you are holding yourself back from financial success.

But there are also strategies or a deeper underlying wound you probably haven’t looked at. Let’s look at various solutions and techniques to overcome your money block.

You need to work on your perception of wealth

When I was living in the US, a friend of mine at the time told me something regarding abundance, and it stuck.

She said… “Daniel, instead of seeing yourself as an entity that is separated from wealth, see yourself as a part of it. Money is everywhere, all around us, look at all of these beautiful houses. Right now, we are surrounded by billions of dollars of wealth. Stop seeing money as an external thing to you, step into it, and feel that you’re a part of it.”

It took some time to understand what she was saying, but I began to see it. Now and then, like a pulse, I would feel as if I was connected to the wealth around me, that I was sharing the same land, resources, and scenery.

Offset like epiphanies, I would feel connected to the wealth around me, almost like I’m adopting the feelings of the people who own these beautiful mansions. At times it would shift back and forth, connecting to the abundance around me, and then returning to separation.

This paradigm shift can be tricky to stabilize, but when I shift into this higher perspective, that’s when I feel abundant. I believe if I can maintain this state, reality will reach a state of congruency with this vibration of feeling connected to the endless wealth around me.

You need to work on your self-worth

If you have a money block, I’m going to assume that you feel uncomfortable charging a reasonable price for a service you would be great at. You will always think about the competition, or that you’re not qualified enough, or experienced enough, or whatever excuse you tell yourself to avoid viewing your worth realistically.

Maybe you have a lot of experience and skills, but you still think you offer no value. And that’s really what it comes down to. Your beliefs about how much value you offer.

People with a healthy relationship with money may have near to no experience and not many skills, but somehow manage to charge a premium for their services and attract all the clients in the world. At first, when I saw people do this, I felt jealous, resentful even. I would get angry when people could create wealth so easily, while I felt much more qualified and struggled.

But then I began to see that it’s not about what they’re offering, or who they are. It’s about their relationship with money. These people have a good relationship with money because they feel deserving. Therefore, money will flow to them through any venture, and they will likely help a lot of people doing so. After all, the external condition matches our internal worlds. These people feel worthy, so that worth manifests into clients or customers.

But here’s the interesting thing, this is how it should be. Business should be easy. Making money should be easy. If you struggle more than you should, then these struggles are likely manifestations of a money block. Therefore, a core ingredient to transcend this money block lies in improving your self-worth.

Convince yourself that making money is easy

While you hold onto the belief that money is difficult to make, it’s going to be difficult to make. That’s the reality you’re manifesting through this deeply ingrained belief system. Sometimes I shift from two different frames of mind.

I get sucked into the idea of how hard it is to make money

I feel as if there are a million opportunities that I’m the perfect candidate for

I’ve noticed that there is a clear trend here. When I’m in a frame where money is hard to make, there’s too much competition, and nobody wants to hire me because I have nothing to offer, guess what?

I struggle, even for the most basic, low-paying jobs. It’s like that frame of mind becomes the barrier, and creates a very real situation. But when this belief shifts. I think about all the different things I could do and genuinely believe that the employer would be silly not to take me on their team. Suddenly, opportunities seem to materialize out of thin air and I get choice paralysis.

This is a very tangible shift in vibration and state of consciousness. All the best work opportunities in my life have materialized during this higher vibrational state.

So how can you shift your perception of life to see yourself as a valuable asset? How can you pivot your frame of consciousness to feel like the world is abundant in opportunities? Perhaps you can try to embody this state through meditation, or by reflecting on the times in your life when you stepped into this flow of abundance.

Think about all the things you can do, and the jobs you would be good at (even if you don’t have the education or training yet), and write them down. Continuously reinforce the idea that you’re the best candidate for these jobs, and encourage yourself to shift into this higher paradigm.

Change the way you feel about the success of others

Think about how you feel when other people seemingly put in much less effort than you, but get much better results.

Maybe it’s that person at work who doesn’t seem to do a whole lot but tends to be celebrated by the workplace. How about a competitor for your blog, YouTube channel, or other creative pursuit that is overtaking you?

How does this make you feel? The reason I ask is because it’s an important indicator of a money block. If you feel upset when other people get ahead, what is that telling you? You need to recognize these feelings of jealousy or envy and try to pivot towards feelings of… gratitude.

What you want to do is change this perception so that you can genuinely feel happy for the person, like you’re on the same team rather than a losing competitor. Yes, this can take practice, it can take patience. But the aim is to recognize when you feel this competitive sense rather than cheering on your fellow humans and vicariously basking in their success.

I created a YouTube video that delves into this topic in more depth which you can find here.

Change your energy around money

As with everything, vibration is a magnet. If your vibration around money is low – that is to experience dense energies such as fear, stress, or guilt, then energetically you act as a repellant. If your vibration is high where you experience positive energies around money, then you will attract more of it.

Likewise, when you pay something, do you feel a low vibrational energy or a high vibrational energy? Do you pay for things with gratitude and excitement, feeling happy to be exchanging, or do you feel worried that you’re losing money?

Of course, you too need to put in the physical work and create the physical foundation to attract money, but without the right energy behind it, you’re casting a fishing net into a stagnant pond. You need both components to attract more money into your life, being:

The physical foundation (if you have a lake abundant in fish but no net, money won’t flow in

The right energy (if you have a net but no water, money won’t flow in)

Therefore, you need to create a system that allows opportunities to come in such as:

Offer a service or have a website

Apply for jobs

Invest

Network and talk to people

Make yourself a presence on social media

But you need to make the abundance flow via your vibration so that opportunities can find you. Therefore, make sure money has a physical route to enter your life, then once the energy is right, it will find you.

Challenge your negative beliefs around money

If you want to move the needle, you need to constantly challenge your beliefs, and be aware when they come to the surface. As we explored earlier in this article, negative money beliefs can come in many different forms.

For example, if you begin hesitating when you’re about to buy something you want, acknowledge that feeling, realize it’s coming from a place of scarcity, and buy it. If you start feeling fear, think about why you’re feeling fear, and where that fear comes from.

Talk yourself through each money-related decision, and do it consciously. Verbally challenge yourself when you put up a barrier to money. Negotiate with yourself and justify why you deserve to come from a place of abundance.

This may require you to think logically and put some steps into place to alleviate those worries, or maybe you can shift the sensation by feeling into it and discarding it.

I find that meditation is your best friend here. When a negative belief starts surfacing, you need to go into it. Sit with it for as long as it takes, allow your mind to wonder, and you’ll find the emotion dissipates. Do this every time you feel overcome by emotion, and it will help you get out of that negative spiral. This is a game-changer for me. So try it yourself.

Start visualizing a good relationship with money

Have you ever noticed that people who don’t think about paying for something and just do it don’t tend to have issues with money? It’s the people who hesitate, and overthink it, analyzing whether they need this, if they should allow themselves to splurge this time… and then feeling guilty when they do.

I find the best way to get out of the scarcity mindset is to visualize. As much as you can, envision what it feels like to receive a big paycheck, or have money coming in. Can you embody this feeling? What physiological symptoms accompany it? Would you feel a rush, a sense of relief, would you start jumping with joy?

Emotionally put yourself in the position of your future self when you are abundant. The purpose of this exercise is to mimic the feelings of abundance, which will start closing the gap between you and abundance.

Working on an exciting project that you enjoy and constantly thinking about its growth and success can help you get on the right track.

Work on your solar-plexus chakra

Your solar plexus chakra is your center of power, confidence, and stability. Therefore, when this chakra is functioning optimally, people tend to feel secure in their lives. Often, issues around money are related to a blockage or issue with your solar plexus chakra. Your money block may be a direct or indirect manifestation of a blockage in this chakra.

The best way to see whether your money block is related to a chakra is to think about other associated experiences with this chakra, to gauge whether the money block is an anomaly (may not be related to the chakra), or if it fits the pattern.

As the solar plexus chakra is your sense of power, other qualities and experiences that are related to this chakra include:

Sense of personal power and confidence

Assertiveness

Willpower

Courage

Sense of responsibility

Sense of integrity

Sense of purpose

As may be able to relate money and finances to these traits or characteristics. For example, you tend to feel more powerful and confident when you are doing well financially. Therefore, if you notice that some of these areas are also lacking in your life, there may be a connection.

How can you use money in a good way?

Think about what you will do when you develop a good relationship with money. How can you use your wealth in a way that benefits everyone? How can you use money in a way that makes you want it?

My big dream is to buy some land and develop a holistic healing center. By doing so, I could help a lot of people, and it would give me a good sense of purpose. This mission anchors me and makes me feel good when I think about money. It overrides any negative feelings if I hold this vision because in this case, there is no downside to having lots of money where I can afford such a venture.

Let your imagination run wild because you need this focus if you want to overcome this money block. You need to see that having a good relationship with money is a good thing because you can use it in ways that benefit everyone.
Overcome the money block

Overcoming the money block can be a process, and you shouldn’t expect instant results, especially if the block is deeply rooted.

You need to work on all aspects of your consciousness that may manifest this money block, including physically (what can you do in the real world to improve your money flow), psychologically (what limiting mindsets are preventing you from acquiring money), emotional (what emotional barriers do you have towards money), and spiritually (what is the deeper cause preventing you from manifesting money?).

Tackle this block from every angle, and it will be a matter of time until you improve your relationship with money and see it flowing into your life in beautiful ways. Remember, everyone can be abundant, you just need to do the work.

How to Manifest Joy When You’re Suffering
You’ve probably heard plenty about manifestation: Put your energy into something you want, and it’ll materialize into your reality. Sounds great and all, but sometimes manifestation can be a little confusing.

Maybe things just aren’t going your way. No matter how hard you try to turn your life around, inevitably you seem to be sucked deeper into this abyss of misery.

So you’re worried.

What if this job opportunity falls through?

What if this date doesn’t go as planned?

What if my life comes crashing down?

While in this state of fear, you’re thinking this whole manifestation thing isn’t as easy as it has been laid out to be.

That’s why I want to clear some things up in this article.

Here we’re going to explore manifesting joy when you’re in a low vibrational state because it can feel like an uphill battle. We’re going to look at how you can fix the manifestation engine to attract experiences into your life that bring you an abundance of joy.

How does manifestation work?

I’m not going to dive too deep into manifestation here as I’ve written a comprehensive article on it. but here’s the gist.

Manifestation refers to the law of attraction – A spiritual law of the universe.

Energy is energy, meaning your internal reality will create a congruency with your external reality, to create what I call energetic osmosis. Vibration acts as a magnet which creates a congruency with the external condition.

If you’re in low-vibrational states where you’re experiencing feelings such as fear, the external universe will match this vibration – Meaning you will attract more experiences that are on the same wavelength as fear.

On the other hand, if you’re experiencing high-vibrational states such as love and gratitude, the same phenomenon occurs. More experiences will unfold in your life that resonate with your frequency – Because the external reality wants to be in balance with the internal reality.

Can you manifest joy if you’re feeling down?

If you’re in a low-vibrational state where you’re feeling scared, worried, or stressed, manifesting high-vibrational experiences into your life won’t work. At least not until you raise your vibration.

This is a big misconception I want to address.

First off, if you put all of your focus on creating positive experiences while you feel miserable – You’re spiritually bypassing, and this is going to come back around and kick your butt.

Spiritual bypassing is when you shift your focus towards experiences of positivity rather than doing the shadow work and healing the wound causing the pain.

Secondly, manifestation works on vibration. If you’re in a low-vibrational state, naturally you’re going to attract more painful experiences which act as prompts for shadow work and healing.

You don’t manifest painful experiences because the universe wants to kick you while you’re down. You manifest more painful experiences as a learning mechanism – To provide the insights and realizations to climb out of the hole you’re in.

If we could just bail ourselves out of any difficult situation by manifesting a better situation, we wouldn’t grow as people.
Steps to manifest joy when you’re feeling low

Manifesting when you’re experiencing low-vibrational states such as fear or guilt doesn’t work, because the outer reality aims to meet the vibration of the inner reality. If your inner reality is dark, life is going to respond to that darkness.

This is why it’s important to learn how to process and heal your pain, and then organically shift towards high-vibrational states.

Once you reach these high-vibrational states of consciousness where you’re oozing with gratitude, love, and compassion, you will begin creating a heavenly existence – Flowing with opportunities, coincidences, and amazing experiences you can barely contain.

So let’s look at some steps you can take to manifest when you’re feeling fear, doubt, or other dense energies.

Do the shadow work

People shift into dense states of consciousness to learn. If you refuse to learn the lessons, you stay in those dense states of consciousness. If you learn the lessons, you will naturally heal, evolve, and reach lighter states of consciousness.

Therefore, when you’re feeling something heavy, you need to do the inner work. You simply won’t be able to manifest positive experiences into your life while your energy is dense.

Start by:

Processing the experience you’re going through

Sitting with the pain in whichever form it has manifested

Learn the lessons and insights

Make the necessary behavioral and cognitive changes

Start feeling better and manifesting from there

Of course, every situation is unique, but these are the general guidelines for healing.

Raise your vibration

If you want to start manifesting the things you actually want, there’s a very obvious solution.

Raise your vibration, and the Universe will reciprocate.

You see, the Universe doesn’t speak English, or Spanish, or Hebrew. It only recognizes one language which is vibration.

Ask yourself, is your energy calibrated with abundance, or is it aligned with disappointment? Does it feel like you’re already living your dreams, or is there separation between these states of consciousness?

Manifestation is a double-edged sword. It doesn’t give you what you want. It gives you more of what you already have. This can be a pretty relentless cycle but don’t blame the Universe. It’s just matching your vibration.

Therefore, it’s crucial to let go of this fear. One of the best ways to do this is to express more gratitude, more often.

Set intentions

Desire is a powerful force.

Intentions act as your internal compass pointing toward the reality you want. By holding your intentions close, you’re constantly making actions and decisions that move you in the right direction.

Let me make it clear that expecting a particular result is not the way to go.

Expecting something to unfold will have undesired consequences as the expectation isn’t a positive energetic frequency.

Therefore, hold your intentions close, but don’t expect the reality you want to mysteriously appear out of thin air.

Let go of the outcome

A big reason why you’re trapped in painful states is because you’re holding onto the outcome.

I know what it’s like, I’ve been there.

You worry that if the result you’re looking for doesn’t come to fruition, your life is going to fall apart. But I can tell you from experience that this isn’t the case.

To get over this fear you need to be at peace with the outcome, for better or worse. By doing so, you’re more likely to manifest better things in your life, because you’re no longer holding onto this stress.

Get out of your mind and into your body

Fear is a construct of the mind. You may have been told otherwise, but holding on to fear is a choice. In other words, you create your hell by worrying about what could happen.

By fixating on the future, you turn the smallest matters into big ordeals.

I used to worry a lot about things going wrong too. But now I see clearly because I live in the here and now. If I’m experiencing difficulties, I allow myself to really feel the experience. If I’m feeling great, I soak in those blissful feelings.

You see, if you’re fully present, fear can’t take hold because it propagates through thought. Therefore, it’s important to ground yourself.

Focus on how ample life is at this very moment. You’re safe, you’re comfortable, you have everything you need. You just need to remember to bring it back every time your mind drifts away.

Trust in the Universe

You need trust if you want to manifest high-vibrational experiences into your life. Trusting that all happens for a reason is powerful. It alleviates stress, worry, and fear of the unknown.

Putting your faith in something bigger than you can help get rid of that deep-rooted fear. It’s necessary to transcend your fear to make manifestation work in your favor.

Have trust that whatever happens is meant to happen. When you think of life through this lens, it’s much easier to look beyond the fear and be at peace.

This acceptance will help you get out of the vibrational rut that you’re in, which in turn helps you manifest better things. With no fear, positive intentions, and desirable feelings, you might be surprised just how well things work out for you.

Ultimately, realize that manifestation is not something you do. It’s a state of consciousness that naturally magnetizes the same frequencies into your life – In the form of thoughts, feelings, ideas opportunities, people, and experiences.

The aim of the game is to feel clean, healthy, and happy, and the rest will follow suit. Don’t pull a muscle trying to manifest your way out of your situation, but trust that you’re here for a reason.

How To Overcome The Poverty Mindset

Have you ever thought that the scarcity you experience in life, whether it’s physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual, actually stems from the mind? We are only as rich as our minds allow us to be. If you’re trying to attract abundance into your life, but you have a poor mind, it’s never going to happen.

This is why we need to address the poverty mindset.

The poverty mindset is a harmful perception of life that paints the world in a frame where there’s never enough to go around. It’s a view of scarcity and a belief that we must struggle to have our fair share.

The poverty mindset perpetuates feelings of need and further brings you away from being content with what you have. It’s a low vibrational energy that attracts more of the same (struggle) and repels abundance.

What’s worse is that while you harbor a poverty mindset, chances are you’re not going to make anything of your life. You bow out of the race before it has even begun, and wonder why you’ve gotten nowhere.

Here we’re going to dissect this degrading mentality so that you can better understand it, get rid of it, and build up better mindsets that lead you to abundance.

A poverty mindset is often formed during youth from the belief that money is scarce, regardless of how much you have. Maybe you never got what you wanted as a kid, or perhaps you were regularly told how expensive everything is, or that money doesn’t grow on trees.

So you grow up drilling in the belief that money is disproportionately precious, a finite resource, and this warps your perception of abundance. As you get older, you unconsciously reinforce this belief until you get caught in a self-perpetuating cycle where you never have enough to be happy.

This creates a low vibrational energy, which manifests low vibrational experience. But we’re only looking at the material aspect. Abundance is more than your material condition, it’s a high vibrational state of consciousness expressed through your beliefs, attitudes, and feelings.

The years I spent living in Vietnam were a real eye-opener. Especially when riding through the Northern Mountains and passing through tiny villages, I met a lot of people who had so little, but their cups were so full.

Many of the residents lived in small adobe huts or run-down concrete shelters. Mostly, they were farmers who didn’t have a whole lot to show for their lives, at least not from a materialistic perspective.

What struck me was their friendliness. The villager’s kindness and generosity were unmatched. While passing through, many would invite me into their homes, share food with me, offer a place to sleep, and give me all the happy water I could handle.

They laughed, sang, and just seemed genuinely happy about the little things in life, such as seeing a foreigner well out of his natural habitat.

These people are not poor. They are some of the richest people I’ve ever met. They are abundant, perhaps not materially, but emotionally.

This shifted something in me. I’ve spent most of my life feeling inadequate. I’ve always been on a goose chase, chasing things because I believed that wealth was the key to abundance and that abundance was the path to happiness.

Since then, I’ve questioned my perspective on abundance which has made some pretty dramatic shifts in my life.

What is the poverty mindset?

The poverty mindset is a limiting belief system where you feel like you’re lacking, despite how much you have. It’s a frame of scarcity: The idea that there is a finite amount of resources that you can have and that you’re fundamentally separated from them.

People who see through a lens of poverty tend to experience life in a way where their success comes at someone else’s failure. And that your failure is due to someone else’s success. It’s the classic ‘there’s not enough pie for all’ scenario.

Just to be clear, having a poverty mindset doesn’t necessarily relate to your financial position. It’s a perception of life where there isn’t enough to go around. When you break this limiting belief system, your life becomes more fruitful. This is when you feel more wholesome, and it also sets a better mental infrastructure to attract more material abundance into your life.

Seeing life in a frame of scarcity is a limitation as you see all the red flags but none of the green. It’s a pessimistic way of thinking that manifests a negative life experience through emotions such as jealousy, guilt, worry, stress, shame, hopelessness, self-victimization, and self-pity.

When in this state, you’re likely to miss opportunities or to push them away, either consciously or unconsciously. Instead of seeing the world as your oyster, you can never get ahead because you hold yourself back.

This causes stagnation and acts as a major barrier to growing into your best self and manifesting your dreams. Not to mention, the poverty mindset is just a generally disempowering state of mind that pushes away abundance.

Characteristics of a poverty mindset

Now that you have a conceptual framework of what the poverty mindset is, how do you know if you have it? What are some symptoms of the poverty mindset, and how will this inadvertently affect your life?

Here are some common traits and characteristics of people who have a poverty mindset.

1. You compare yourself to others

Rather than focusing on your own journey, you tend to notice what other people have which makes you feel like you’re lacking because you don’t have those things.

2. You have a fear complex

You tend to worry about what could happen, and you concern yourself too much with hypotheticals rather than actual outcomes.

3. You focus on what you need

Instead of focusing on what you have and how fulfilled you are to have those things, you’re always looking at what you don’t currently have, which creates a constant sense of desperation.

4. You are strife with jealousy

Instead of celebrating other people’s success, you get jealous or even resentful when people achieve something that you don’t have.

5. You make up stories about your failures

You tend to create stories about why you’re disadvantaged or why you can’t succeed in life. For other people who become successful, there will always be an outstanding reason why they’re successful.

6. You are worried about your achievements

Your hyper-focus on achieving things takes you away from what you already have. This leads to competition and the mentality that there is not enough to go around.

7. You are a victim

You believe that you’re a victim of the world. Life is unfair, and you’ve just gotten the bottom half of it. Since you’re a victim, you dedicate yourself to being a bystander in your life.

8. You tend to overvalue material things

You likely believe that having things is the epitome of success. So you place a lot more value on external things rather than intrinsic qualities such as gratitude and family.

9. You focus on the risk

You have an aversion towards taking action because you always think about the risk, and what could happen if things don’t work out.

10. You tend to chase pleasure

Rather than focusing on more wholesome, substantial states of consciousness, you’re concerned with momentary pleasures by getting the next shiny thing.

11. You think wealth will solve your problems

Part of a poverty mindset is believing that wealth is the key to all the good things in life. If you have more wealth, you’re successful.

12. You believe that resources are scarce

You believe that everything is finite, and that other people gaining something takes away from you, or your opportunities. This drives you to be more careful, and potentially competitive because you feel that you need to fight for equality.

What is an example of the poverty mindset?

First off, you need to change the way you see things if you actually want to experience abundance. As long as you’re caught in a frame of scarcity, you’re not going to attract abundance into your life.

Below are some examples of perceiving a situation through a frame of abundance vs a frame of scarcity. Use this table to reflect on your own life experience, and look at where you need to make some adjustments.

Situation	Abundance mindset	Poverty mindset
You broke up with your partner	You know that more amazing people will come into your life which opens up exciting new opportunities to find someone who you more deeply align with.	You desperately hold onto something that has moved on, believing that you’ll never find anyone else like the person you were with.
You were let go from your job	You gained valuable experience which will help you find an even better job in the future. While you may be upset, you are looking forward to the new opportunities that this opens up in your life.	You start worrying about not having a job, or not being worthy of a job. This leads to anxiety and stress as the future looks uncertain.
You got some valuable information	You want to share it with others and get their perspectives. If it helps them succeed, vicariously, you feel good.	You want to keep it to yourself and avoid sharing it with other people. You had to find out yourself, why can’t they?
Analysis of your living condition	The location is very central and in a great part of town. The house is cozy. You have everything you need to live a comfortable life.	The house is too small, old and noisy. You’re not in your ideal home by a long shot, and you won’t be fulfilled until you get it.
Working on an avocation	You have a vision of what you can achieve if you put in the work. You realize that there is no reason why you can’t succeed, so you continuously work towards your dreams	You believe there is way too much competition, and that only people who are extremely talented can make it. As a result you’re likely to give up, or never take it seriously in the first place.

How to break free from the poverty mindset

Money is an advantage, it’s not a game changer.

If you have a lot of disposable income, you can live a nice cushy life, but that’s not going to make you any happier. It’s important to value things that truly matter for your growth, well-being, and wholeness.

Never forget that happiness is an internal condition. If you’re trying to buy happiness, you’re barking up the wrong tree. So please, do the inner work. Go inside, not outside, and you’re going to make your life a much better place to live.

Life isn’t a get-rich-quick scheme. You need to work for it. And it’s the work that you put into your life that makes it worth it.

So instead of chasing money, focus on the process that is used to make money. As an example, if you’re a content creator or aspiring to be one, actually enjoy making content rather than trying to become successful through it.

This applies to anything you do. Do it because you genuinely care about it. If you fill your cup with more things in life that nourish you, it’s going to benefit you in more ways than one.

Sometimes you have to stretch yourself a little as abundance is a bit of an oxymoron. You get more by giving more.

Chances are, you rarely give. If you see a homeless person, do you give them a bit of cash, or tell yourself that you can’t afford it, even if it’s just a dollar? Do you give your time and energy without expecting a reward? What about donating to causes that you care about?

Here’s the thing. You need to give to get. You need to break the cycle of poverty by taking the first step. Remember, the universe matches your vibration, not the other way around. So if you adopt the feeling of generosity and giving, you’re going to receive more in the form of positive emotions, feelings, outlooks, opportunities, people, and things.

Ultimately, you need to work on the poverty mindset in small doses regularly, because whatever you enforce into your reality becomes your reality.

How To Attract Abundance Into Your Life
We all want to attract abundance into our lives, but sometimes it feels like an uphill battle… during a hurricane, in your underwear.

After all, abundance is the shiny ticket to the good life, right? That’s why people construct empires to have everything they desire and more. But wait… Do you view abundance as an external condition? Do you solely associate it with wealth and finances?

Let me ask you a question.

Are you abundant if you have all the money in the world but are also miserable and lonely? On the same train, if you could have any partner you desire, but were unable to create a meaningful and loving connection with any of them, are you still abundant?

There are two sides to this equation. It’s nice to have your material needs met, but they mean nothing unless they’re backed up with genuine fulfillment. This is something so many of us overlook when we try to attract abundance into our lives, and there’s a metaphysical component to abundance too.

There are more dimensions to abundance than solely the material, and if you only think about the material aspect of abundance then you’re on the wrong path. If you want to attract abundance into your life, you need to also meet it at an emotional and energetic level.

In truth, abundance is a state of consciousness where you feel like you’re thriving. You don’t need things to feel amazing, so perhaps we’re thinking about abundance inside out. So let’s explore what it means to attract more abundance into your life, and how you can do it.

What does it mean to attract abundance?

Abundance refers to the fruitfulness of your life situation, whether it’s physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual. Look at abundance as a state of consciousness that magnetizes positive things into your life, providing a sense of ampleness. It’s an expansive, high-vibrational energy where you feel like your cup is overflowing.

Imagine abundance as a spectrum. On one side of this spectrum is scarcity. We tend to associate scarcity with not meeting our material needs, which too is a part of it.

However, people can be emotionally scarce because they are poor in feelings of gratitude, love, and joy. People can be mentally scarce by harboring detrimental mindsets such as the poverty mindset, or the victim mentality. Likewise, people can also be spiritually scarce by lacking meaning, service, and deeper fulfillment. Without meaning, abundance can seem a little empty.

On the other side of this spectrum is abundance. Like scarcity, there are different dimensions of abundance. This is why it’s important not to view abundance simply as a material condition but as a collection of experiences that affect every level of your consciousness.

It’s a shallow view to perceive abundance as financial success. There is so much missing from the equation here. Think of abundance as a magnet. It’s a high energetic vibration that manifests situations corresponding with this energy. If you embody a high vibrational state of consciousness, you’ll attract more abundance into your life in all forms.

Think of it this way.

If you have a full cup, you will attract more good things into your life. After all, reality is a mirror. It attracts more of what you’re experiencing which is the foundation of the law of attraction.

If you’re genuinely resonating at a high vibration, you will tap into the energy of abundance. Since you feel the energy of abundance, it will manifest conditions that that abundant.

The connection between abundance and healing

Healing is the road to experiencing more high vibrational states. Imagine that trauma, open wounds, and pain are like thick blankets that weigh you down. Someone who is wounded is unable to experience these very high vibrational states until they remove these blankets.

You have to mop out the dense energy that’s rotting you inside out before your vibration steadies into high vibrational states. Once you’ve cleaned out all your trauma and the core is healthy, the outside reality is going to reflect this internal condition.

Notice that life keeps hitting you when you’re stuck in a negative spiral? Negative coincidence after coincidence will occur and it just won’t give you a break. Have you ever felt like this? Well, it’s quite a universal experience, because it’s real. There’s a reason why the universe kicks you while you’re down.

When you’re in low vibrational states of consciousness, you become a magnet for low vibrational experiences. Manifestation isn’t a one-way street, it’s a double-edged sword. When you’re suffering, you tend to attract more suffering. Metaphysically speaking, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. May not seem fair, but it’s how consciousness works.

On the other hand, perhaps something big happens in your life. You get a great new job opportunity, you have a nourishing experience, or maybe you fall in love. You feel great, then notice more good things coming into your life.

Is it just because you’re just noticing the good things, or because you’re attracting them? It’s both.

You are noticing all the wholeness that life provides because you feel abundant, and because you step into that frame of abundance, more good things start happening as your external condition matches your internal condition.

This is why healing is an important component of raising your vibration and attuning to the energy of abundance. Healing yourself is the first step toward abundance, because being healed allows you to reach a high-vibrational state, which the rest snowballs from.
How to attract abundance from the universe

Attracting abundance starts by making adjustments on all levels of your consciousness, and calibrating all of these levels to abundance:

Your physical body (material condition)

Your mental body (thoughts and mindsets)

Your emotional body (Feelings)

Your spiritual body (meaning and purpose)

If you’re lacking in one area, it’s going to let down the team. To truly be abundant, you need to think abundantly, feel abundant, and radiate abundance. Remember, many people have a lot of wealth, but they’re not truly abundant because they’re not happy.

Don’t fall into this trap. You want the whole package. Let’s look at some shifts you need to make before you can attract abundance into your life.

1. Hold a vision of abundance

You need to hold a vision of abundance to attract it into your life. Your vision of abundance is like your anchor. It’s what gives you direction. How do you picture your life if you are truly abundant? What do you feel? What do you think? What does your material condition look like?

You need to have a vision of something that fulfills you. Think about it. What’s more important than stuff? What feelings would make you feel like you’re winning life? This is what you should be aiming towards. Feelings. Attitudes. Vibrations. If your biggest goals revolve around financial gain, then you’re missing crucial dimensions of abundance.

2. Realize that you are abundance

Don’t look at abundance as something separate from you. You are always surrounded by abundance. You need to realize that there is no separation to experience it more fully. A major shift will occur when you embody the notion that life is infinite.

How many cells are you made from, and that are constantly being produced? How many stars is your planet surrounded by? How many plants and animals can you see on any given day? How much variety of food, entertainment, and emotional states do you have access to? View abundance as a property of the universe rather than something you need to attain, and you’ll begin stepping into it.

3. Believe that you can attract abundance

Your beliefs are forms of energy. Therefore, if you don’t believe that you can attract abundance into your life, you’re likely to push it away. This is something I struggled with for a long time, believing I would never be successful which created a barrier to success.

Part of attracting abundance is believing that you can attract abundance. You must hold beliefs and attitudes that are high vibrational and resonate at a level of abundance. However, these beliefs must be genuine. Therefore, if you have negative beliefs about money or achieving your dreams, you need to work on shifting them.

4. Allow yourself to receive

A component of tapping into abundance is to allow yourself to receive it. Whether you receive what the universe hands you or not is an important signal because abundance comes in all forms. To attract abundance into your life, you need to learn to receive it. The more you allow into your life, the more it will start flowing in, in all its myriad forms.

Maybe an opportunity arises that you instinctively shoot down. Perhaps someone enters your life who can help you, and you unconsciously push them away. If you regularly push away things that are coming into your life, whether they’re opportunities, education, gifts, or assistance, then you’re essentially pushing away abundance. Show the universe that you are open and willing, and encourage the energy of abundance to seep into your reality.

5. Appreciate everything you have

As long as you constantly chase your tail for the next best thing, you aren’t appreciating what you have. If you aren’t appreciating what you have, you’re in a frame of scarcity. You have everything you need to be happy, you just don’t realize it because you’re caught in this frame of need.

Do you have a full stomach? Do you have shelter? Are you warm? There are many people without these naked essentials who are still content with their lives! So what’s the problem here? The problem is that you’re not appreciating what you have because you take it for granted.

Therefore, learn to appreciate all the things that you do take for granted. The vibration of gratitude is powerful, and this vibration will help you attract more abundance into your life.

6. Put it all into perspective

When you feel that you are lacking, sometimes it helps to put it into perspective. Despite what struggles you’re facing, I can guarantee you that some people would die to trade positions with you. It’s easy to get caught in self-loathing and the drama of everyday life. But compared to what many people in the world are experiencing, I would say you have it pretty damn lucky. Recognize that you have it pretty cushy, and be humble. Sometimes you just need to step back and acknowledge how good you have it.

7. Talk your life up, not down

Sometimes, you’ll get knocked down, but don’t let yourself get caught in the self-perpetuating negative spirals. It’s important to recognize when you’re going into a negative spiral so you can correct it and realign yourself.

Therefore, every time you feel down, discouraged, or defeated, give yourself time to process it. Release the painful energies and realign yourself with your higher self. Catch those painful spirals before you get caught in them, and turn that ship around.

8. Be happy for other people’s success

People who feel abundant want others to win too. That’s because the idea that there is not enough pie to go around – leading to ruthless competition, stems from the poverty mindset. You won’t feel whole if you believe there has to be a loser.

Jealousy is a block to abundance because you’re separating yourself from abundance. But is there a way you can feel happy for that person? It may take some work to heal the root cause, but when you genuinely feel good for other people’s success, you’re creating the right conditions to attract abundance.

9. Let your good feelings spill over

Gratitude is a big part of abundance. You simply can’t feel abundant if you don’t feel grateful. Now that you’re cultivating better feelings, actions, and attitudes in your life by experiencing more gratitude and appreciation, let your cup overflow. Genuinely wanting to help others and do good in their lives signals the universe that you’re in a position to give.

Of course, the act of giving comes from a frame of abundance, as it signals that you have plenty to share. Therefore, give as much as you can in the form of love, help, and assistance. Try to bring as much healing and joy into other people’s lives as you can. Don’t worry, you won’t deplete yourself, rather it will have the opposite effect.

10. Detach from the result

Attachment to the result is a double-edged sword. In one way, you want some attachment because it motivates you. On the other hand, too much attachment creates need. Need isn’t a pleasant feeling because it comes from a state of lack. Being overattached to the outcome causes desperation which is a polar opposite energy to abundance.

Hold your goals close and aim to achieve them. Feel good about them and be excited to move towards them, but don’t get the idea in your head that it becomes more important than everything else. Sitting around and just trying to manifest everything isn’t going to work either. You need to put in the work. You need to take action to build your life into something that you’re proud of.
Attract abundance into your life

In this article, we’ve explored the metaphysics behind abundance, and what abundance is – an energy. Now you know that instead of chasing your tail and looking to acquire material abundance without any substance, you can search for abundance in a more fulfilling way.

As your external reality matches your internal reality, it’s always best to start inside out and focus on feeling abundance before seeing abundance. With this approach, you can continue working on yourself, healing, and raising your vibration until you reach a point where abundance flows into your life, in every dimension.

With that said, all the best along your journey of attracting abundance, and keep your eyes on the prize!
