8 Tips To Begin To Create Prosperity In Your Life

By Life and Leadership Coach Marcia Bloomberg, MA

Money, money, money There are many sayings about money and there are conflicting viewpoints about it as well. Is it a source of all good or a source of all evil? If money doesnt grow on trees does it mean we have to scrape and scrimp and scramble to acquire it? There are people who have money and people who are rich. Coco Chanel If money is your hope for independence you will never have it. The only real security that a man will have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience and ability. --Henry Ford A nickel aint worth a dime anymore. Yogi Berra Empty pockets never held anyone back. Only empty heads and empty hearts can do that. Norman Vincent Peale Car sickness is the feeling you get when the monthly payment is due. Author unknown Money is better than poverty, if only for financial reasons. Woody Allen Money often costs too much. Ralph Waldo Emerson

Money plays a key role in living a life of abundance and prosperity. It provides us the means of exchange for a place to live, transportation, clothing, education and many other necessary and/or desirable things. Money is not the only measure of prosperity, however. Prosperity also manifests in our lives as loving relationships, a supportive community of friends and family, good health and positive energy, a connection to a spiritual practice among other things.

Tip 1: Decide what financial prosperity means to you.

What can money buy that you want to be, have or do? You need to know where you are going in order to know when you have arrived, so this question is key.

Tip 2: All prosperity begins in the mind. Only thought stands in our way.
Thought is energy and thought energy has the power to manifest. You did not just arrive in your current circumstances, positive and negative. Your conscious and subconscious thoughts created your life as you live it today. Your thoughts are your gateway to prosperity. Using your imagination and your innate creativity can take you to new heights of prosperity.

Tip 3: Creating prosperity requires both outer work and inner work.
Outer work requires putting in the physical and mental effort to achieve our goals, once we have conceived of them in our minds. However, inner work may be even more important than the more visible outer work. Inner work requires that you release yourself from negative perceptions, harsh selfjudgment, limiting beliefs and all the little gremlins in your head telling you that you arent capable or deserving or smart or creative or whatever self-deprecating adjectives your personal little voice comes up with to torment you. We have the power to be what we want to be, have what we want to have and do what we want to do. The power is in our thoughts and then our actions.

3. realize that you deserve all that you desire 4. move toward what you want, rather than toward what you dont want, THEN you are deciding to create prosperity for yourself and those around you.

Tip 5: Explore your relationship to money by answering these questions:

When you spend money, how do you feel? Like you are cheating? Like you are sharing your bounty? What does money provide for you? When have you had enough money? What did that feel like? What is enough? What are your deepest feelings about money? Do you love it or hate it? Or both? Is it fun to spend money on your monthly expenses or do you resent paying the mortgage, rent, phone and electricity bills? What do you enjoy buying with your money? What do you avoid about money? Do you avoid paying your bills? Some of them or all of them? If some, which ones? How do you invest for the future? Why is money important to you? What can it buy that you value? What cant it buy that you also value? Why do you want more money? What would you do with it? What would it do to you? Would you feel blessed? Or cursed? How will you feel if you have more money than your friends or relatives? How will you feel if you have less? Do you feel you deserve to have more money? Why? Why not? How motivated are you to increase your wealth? Your answers to these questions provide an important insight if you wish to create financial prosperity in your life.

Tip 4: Our subconscious mind is our connection to universal energy where prosperity begins.
Physics and astronomy teach that energy is infinite. According to science, energy and matter are interchangeable. What does that tell you about our thoughts? They are energy waiting to be made real. We are energy and matter, a part of the universe. Our subconscious mind is our connection to the universe. Your job is to open your channel, your connection to universal energy, knowing you already deserve a full and abundant life. You have what you need to create your own prosperity. As soon as you : 1. give yourself permission to prosper 2. step through your fears of failure and

Prosperity is ready to be made manifest in our lives, regardless of our economic circumstances. Prosperity exists as potential within each of us. We can feel prosperous today and we can work toward having an abundance of what we need and want in the future as well.

Tip 7: Cultivate a sincere attitude of gratitude.

Gratitude is one of the first and best ways to get in touch with the present and appreciate all we have now. Some say that the present is called just that because it is a gift. The past is made up of memories and the future is still ahead of us. The present is where we live each moment and say thanks for what we have received and/or created. Feeling prosperous and appreciating our current abundance is not related to money per se. But feeling prosperous is one step on the road to manifesting prosperity in all the areas of your life. Remember that we all have the potential to create prosperity and abundance for ourselves and those around us. Being grateful for what we already have is a first step.

Tip 6: Spend money with love.

Even if we dont know who benefits from our money when we spend it, the money is going into a vast pool that is supporting our neighbors, the residents of our state and our fellow globe dwellers. Spending money with love is a consciousness that we are using our money energy to allow others to thrive. Spending money with love is also a consciousness that we are receiving something for our money, something that we need or want. When you pay your heating bill, be thankful for the warmth inside your home. When you buy a birthday present for a friend or relative, visualize their enjoyment of the gift. Money is a means of exchange. You are exchanging some of your life energy to earn or create the money you spend. When you spend money you put your positive life energy into the exchange. You are giving a part of yourself that is valuable. The butterfly effect posits that even the flicker of a butterflys wings can cause a huge climactic change. We are all constantly having an impact on those around us and this goes on to impact the entire world via the butterfly effect. Spending money with love just might help to hasten the coming of peace and prosperity for all.

Tip 8: Prosperity is not just about money.

Think about this. Even though there is a recession going on, do you have enough or, even an abundance of any of these?

Laughter Friendship Solitude Food Energy Happy sounds Love Exercise Appreciation Fun Relaxation Opportunity to travel Support at work or at home Creativity New experiences and familiar activities Hobbies and interests

If you have any of these in your life, begin to consider yourself prosperous.
