Developing a Wealth Consciousness

Wealth consciousness means shifting your dominant focus from lack and scarcity to wealth and all forms of abundance.  Doing this successfully depends on your ability to alter the way you see your world; especially your finances.  If you're like most people, you have experienced periods of shortage in your life.  Perhaps you were short on funds for something you wanted or you felt restless and uninspired, and you ultimately found yourself desiring "more" of whatever you felt like you were lacking at the time.

Though wealth seems to be outside of you, it is actually a state of consciousness that you can adopt whenever you want to.  One of the simplest ways to do this is by developing a habit to see "more than enough" in every situation.

If you are in the habit of focusing on what you are lacking rather than abundance, this concept may be tough to grasp when you first begin.  However, with practice you will have little trouble slipping into a wealth consciousness naturally.

A great first step in developing a wealth consciousness is to willfully alter your focus in every situation.  Every time you find yourself thinking thoughts of "not enough", choose to shift deliberately into thoughts of wealth.

Here are some situations where you might be tempted to focus on shortage:

When you want to buy something and don't have the money for it; you feel dissatisfied or unfulfilled by your job; you wish you could meet a compatible romantic partner; or when you crave a more passionate purpose in life.

When dissatisfied thoughts begin to enter your mind, pause for a moment and acknowledge what you do already have.  Think about the many blessings in your life. 

Glance around at your place of residence, your vehicle, your relationships, your health, and anything else you would consider a bonus.  Remember that some people don't even have a fraction of what you do.

Express your gratitude for all of the blessings you have and affirm that they are "more than enough."  Enjoy the perception of having more than you actually need for survival, and be in awe at what a powerful blessing that is.

Remember that just because you're emphasizing that you already have "more than enough" doesn't mean that you won't (or can't) have more.  Quite the contrary - your very attitude of gratefulness will begin to attract even more to be grateful for.  Remember, what you focus on the most will keep expanding in your life.

If you focus on not having enough, and you will forever feel as if you have less than you do.  On the other hand, if you feel joyful about having more than enough you will recognize more and more magnificent things to be thankful for - and your wealth consciousness will continue to expand.

In addition to recognizing the wealth that already exists in your life, think about the many ways you can expand what you have.  You may feel powerless about certain situations but if you reflect upon them, you could probably come up with several simple action steps that would help you create "more" in any area of your life.

However, it's important that your attitude while taking these action steps is be blissful and optimistic - never worried or desperate.  Have confidence in your ability to create more of what you want, and trust in the universe's eagerness to help you do just that.  Almost as if by magic, you really will start to feel as if you have "more than enough" of everything you could possibly desire.
