Picture the desired outcome

In order to bring prosperity into your life, focus on wealth, if you think on how difficult things are and how poor you are, this is was you get back: more financial difficulties, you will bring into your life whatever it is you focus on.
How will you go about achieving a more positive outlook

• Start by clearing out your space, get rid of all the old junk that may be cluttering up your life and your living space.
• Visualize having that extra money, see yourself paying your bills easily and gratefully and feel inside how happy you are to do so.
• Build a mental picture of yourself surrounded by what wealth can bring, keep that image of yourself positive, see yourself happy and fulfilling your dreams. For example, if you want a new car, see yourself driving it, feel the new upholstery, smell the car! Engage all your senses.
• Create a "vision board". Use a cork board and pin on it pictures cut out from magazines and photos to represent the things you may want to attract into your life. While you do that, have no doubt that those things are coming to into your life. Do not question the ability of the Universe to provide, just have a clear image of what you want.
• Get the ball rolling by making positive changes, after all this is the beginning of your new Life. Spruce up your image, feel like a winner, remember that by being more positive you will attract more positivity.
• Do something kind for someone else, maybe you could spend some time volunteering. By taking the focus off yourself you will change your outlook.
• To bring about change, change your actions, get away from routine. Even small things can make a huge difference.

How I manifested some money

How I manifested a quarter million dollars while a broke single mum.
I was desperate, in arrears with my rent, my car was out of registration and broken down in the garage. I was stuck at home unable to drive to my part-time job 30km away.
I had to come up with something fast, Byron Bay was full of new agey groups and I heard it often enough: somehow I had manifested it al. But no one had a solution, I found that the wealthy people I knew had inherited their wealth, I suppose that they manifested it too.
I read lots of books about manifesting and how to adjust my thinking to a more positive outlook on wealth, this was all well and good but how do I go about it. My rent was overdue!

My thinking had to change at lightning speed!

I found some great advice in various books but not one gave me a real step by step” how to” on manifesting and a lot of the advice came from people wanting me to join very expensive courses telling me that if i really wanted to do their course I would manifest the money! This was fast becoming a chicken or the egg situation.
Really?

Don’t you think that if I knew how to come up with a few grand to do their seminars I would be sweet and not need them?. Needless to say that any of my spare money would go on essentials.
I had to find a way to focus my thinking and get myself into a more relaxed attitude towards money, a way to somehow become a money magnet while staying relaxed about it all.



Relaxing about the whole thing was my first step
Being relaxed meant that i just let my worries go, there was nothing i could achieve by freaking out about it, even borrowing was out of the question. A loan would only postpone things and not really fix the problem.
I went to my favourite bookshop and had a good browse through the new age section; I found plenty of books on affirmations and manifesting money.
I was on the right track. I got my notebook out and started to take notes on affirmations and tips on how to make them work. I didn’t find very much at the time on manifesting besides repeating endless affirmations.

This seemed all so slowww, and the rent deadline was coming up.
I saw a book on rituals and I though aha, this is it, but on reading along I found the whole thing a bit complicated, what the heck was “dragons blood” ?
No dragons in Byron Bay, unless you counted the old bat down the road! I found more books on ritual and realized that really there probably wasn’t a definitive ritual to attract money but I did find the meaning for ritual.

Ritual takes events from daily life and gives them some sort of meaning.
For example we can eat bread and drink wine everyday but this eating and drinking are given a different meaning in the catholic mass, the bread becomes the body of Christ and the wine becomes his blood. I do remember from my childhood my grandma always making a the sign of the cross on the loaf of bread before cutting it, a small ritual act that was very significant, a blessing for the bread and thanks for the food.

Many rituals take place on a daily basis, I don’t just mean the big ones like marriage, christening, funerals, etc, there are small things we do every day :
the first cup of tea in the morning, the way we shower, dress, brush teeth, all small acts that can become ritualized.
When we give those small acts a greater significance and repeat them they become rituals. We attach a certain symbolism to those daily acts, and make them have greater significance.

Here is the dictionary answer for ritual

a. The prescribed order of a religious ceremony.
b. The body of ceremonies or rites used in a place of worship.The prescribed form of conducting a formal secular ceremony:
c. the ritual of an inauguration.The body of ceremonies used by a fraternal organization.
d. A book of rites or ceremonial forms.
rituals
e. A ceremonial act or a series of such acts.
f. The performance of such acts.A detailed method of procedure faithfully or regularly followed: My household chores have become a morning ritual.
g. A state or condition characterized by the presence of established procedure or routine: “Prison was a ritual—reenacted daily, year in, year out. Prisoners came and went; generations came and went; and yet the ritual endured” (William H. Hallahan).

adj.
1. Associated with or performed according to a rite or ritual: a priest's ritual garments; a ritual sacrifice.
2. Being part of an established routine: a ritual glass of milk before bed.

Focus on Gratefulness

Life can be so stressful at times that we spend a lot of time complaining about things in general. We have relationships woes, financial difficulties and our boss is a moron, the list could go on.
I want to turn this all around, surely besides slapping my boss around the head with a wet fish, there are better ways to cope and even thrive while living a decent and may i say a normal life. Let’s look around, i live in a decent house, drive an ok car and i do for now have my job. It doesn’t matter what or how much or how little we have we can always find a few things to be grateful about.
I am grateful for my health
I am grateful for this cup of tea
I am grateful for the air that i breathe
I am grateful for being alive
Being grateful is finding some good in any and every circumstance and learning to appreciate all that you already have. A good way is to start appreciating all the small things,
The sun on your face,
The aroma of you cup of coffee,
A little quiet time between phone calls,
A smile
There a myriad of things one can be appreciative of and give a quiet little thank you in acknowledgment.
I like to start my day by giving thanks for a good night sleep, the warmth of my bed, the rising of the sun and my first cup of tea. By appreciating the little things in life i can make way for more good things to come.
It is so easy to take everything for granted and to miss out on all those little wonderful things that make up Life.
If the focus is on problems, they tend to increase and magnify. If the focus is on the good we already have we will attract more of the same.
Directing your thoughts towards the good will expand it and your life will be the richer for it.
