Abundance.........

I really like the word abundance.......it is a word that bolsters your beliefs, and helps your mind take some flight.......and feel a sense of, well...... contentment to think of......at least for me........this mindset book I am reading speaks of abundance....but not just in the financial sense.....although that is a part of it, and how our financial mindset can impact our reality...... but it is also overall abundance.....and I feel abundant in this chapter......in so many ways that matter to myself, to my story, and to my kids.....I think when we yearn for more financial stability, or have that notion crop up, we immediately attach the good/bad connotation to money and its place in our lives.....and this book speaks to that some too....our attitudes around financial abundance and how they matter.....whether we come from a sense of lack......or of having "enough"......or from a place that thinks having money is bad........and my mindset must be sorta Ok on it all, mostly.....I certainly have my share of so many things I need to travel on this path I am on......and for that I am eternally grateful, like SO grateful....and I work hard for it too, but I still never take any of it for granted....not for one second.........because my life is expensive, and doing it alone is a thing for sure......but the abundance I speak of is well beyond any financial means I have, to do the things I want/need to do at this point in my journey......I think abundance can be found in so many places, if we look....and despite the challenges found in the last couple of months my mind has been returning to those abundant places.....the places that remind me of all I have....I think it is important to be in that space amid the challenges we face sometimes.....and just as whispering "I can do hard things" to myself over and over during my early journey until I believed it, helped so much.....I feel the same about reminding myself of my abundance....often and consistently, as a way of bolstering that belief......I have worked hard to revamp and rework my financial means, and make some moves that made a big difference for me......and the truth is there were quite a few times during the last few years when I did not feel this way.....I felt squeezed.......and maybe scared some about how I would make all the ends meet.....but in looking back at that mindset, I suppose since I am reading about it now......that was not helpful.....focusing on what we have and not what we don't......I do think is wildly beneficial, no matter what part of our lives we are speaking about.....I guess I write about this today to remind whoever is reading that you ARE abundant......in so many ways, even if you may not be feeling that way.....or struggle to sometimes......look for the abundance found around you, in small and big ways, and remind yourself of your abundance each day:)......I am doing the same, and owning some new mantras, and head spaces and seeing it add up:) Enjoy this weather, dang it is beautiful:)
