I have a sleep app that I love. It tells me how much deep sleep I got, how much time I spent dreaming, if I snored or coughed and when. It’s the first thing I check when I wake up.
But then I realized it was keeping me in a mindset of lack because my first thought each morning is: Did I get enough deep sleep?
The last few months I’ve been focusing on turning scarcity thinking into thoughts of abundance.
I can’t afford that. That piece of cake will go right to my hips. There aren’t enough hours in the day.
These are all examples of thoughts that keep us from abundance.
We may think we’re being realistic when we say or think something like this. Instead, what we’re doing is creating that reality.
There is always enough money for what I need and what I want with enough left over to share. This piece of cake will bring me a little slice of happiness. Time always seems to expand so that I can get everything done and then relax.
Or, in my case, I sleep deeply and soundly. I always wake up refreshed and ready to face another wonderful day.
How do you want your world to look? It is possible to have what you want. If you’d rather not bump into someone when you’re out, set that intention instead of saying it’s inevitable. If you want to have a Valentine’s Day full of love and romance, start thinking it into being rather than telling yourself it’s impossible because you’re single or because your partner isn’t lovey-dovey.
This week, when you catch yourself saying something negative, turn it around. Don’t give in to the temptation to tell yourself you’re being a realist. You’re not.
You can have an abundant life, full of all the things you desire. Health, love, money, peace, time, even a good night’s sleep are yours for the thinking.
You’re more powerful than you think. Or, I should say, you’re exactly as powerful as you think.
