Dear Friends,

Oh my, inflation is rising, the war in Ukraine is ongoing, the stock market is down, and car prices and house prices are higher. How can anyone feel abundant right now? 

The good news is you can feel abundant even when the rest of the world is feeling like it is falling apart. I believe strongly that you can make a choice to state the following:

"My personal economy is flourishing!" 

We need to not listen to the negative messages that unjustly impact our overall feeling of wellness or feeling of abundance. We need to let go of stuff we can't control and focus on what we can control. I believe you can take charge of your own personal economy in two ways.

First, you can make the choice to work on your mindset.  Expand into the following: love, joy, success, abundance, happiness, fun or humor.  Maybe you would like this list of the fruits of the spirit namely love, patience, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Gratitude is another way to be thankful for what you do have going on in your personal economy which will allow you to feel good. 

Second, you can make the choice to take actions to make your personal economy flourish. It is important that you discern what would make you feel better. Only choose things that bring you more joy. Here are some ideas that you can control to enlarge your abundance…

• Pay all your bills before they are due.  
• Pay all your bills at the beginning of the month.
• Increase your savings so you feel more secure.
• Decrease your spending so you can save for a rainy day.
• Wait to buy a car in a year so that I don't have to pay a premium right now. 
• Work on your household budget to ensure that you spend less than you make.
• Donate to a charity that means a lot to you.
• Talk to a financial coach to help you with your budget or financial questions.
• Talk to your financial investment advisor on actions regarding your investments to take less risk for future market downturns.
• If you have a business, you could do more marketing to grow your client base which will increase your revenues.
• Maybe start a side hustle doing something that you love to make more money.

Bottom line, just saying “my personal economy is flourishing” will help you to take baby steps up the abundance scale to a 10 and attract more abundance. I have put two videos at the bottom to help you on this journey. 

Blessings of Abundance,
