Removing the Rules that Limit Abundance
We live with social norms and pressures that tell us how we should feel in certain circumstances. We succumb to these social pressures and react in predictable ways. If someone cuts us off while we are driving on the highway, we believe we’re supposed to be upset and so we are. If our spouse loses their job, we should be concerned about our finances; therefore, we worry. When winter arrives we assume the lack of sunshine will make us depressed and so we become depressed.
These rules are not written in stone. You have the ability to choose a happier, more positive outlook on life. There are no prerequisites for being happy. You don’t have to make a certain amount of money nor do you have to achieve a certain status before you’re allowed to be happy. Though it can be difficult to change our thinking, the first step is to recognize that these rules are ideas programmed into us by others. It can be difficult to change but once we decide to be happy, we are happy. This is the choice available to you in every situation, everyday.
Because of our programming, our unconscious mind believes it’s important to protect us. Remember as a child being told that you must hold an adult’s hand when you crossed the street? That was an important rule for when you were little and could not protect yourself. As you grew up you became able to take care of yourself so you no longer had to hold onto an adult’s hand to cross the street. Imagine how limited your life would be if you still believed you needed an adult’s help to cross the street?
On your quest for abundance you will run into each and every one of your limiting beliefs in turn, and your job is to dismiss them all. No one but you has any say or a claim to your happiness, and you must tell your inner mind to let these limiting ideas go. How will you ever manifest your desires if you will not let go of your limiting beliefs? The answer is you won’t.
Energy techniques can help us change the programmed rules that limit our abundance and happiness.
Gratitude List
A gratitude list is one way to shift your energy. When you write down everything in your life for which you feel grateful, you see that you do experience abundance and success. On days when you feel there is little to be grateful about, you can still appreciate that you can breathe successfully. You may not think that’s a big deal, but you can’t live without it. You breathe, so you are successful at the most important thing. You have the capacity for success. Think about it this way: Is it more important to be successful at breathing or to be successful at business? Of course, if you are not successful at breathing you can’t be successful at business. So, if you can breathe, you are successful, and you have something to be grateful about.
Emotional Freedom Technique
The Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is a mode of energy which is based on acupuncture. Practitioners of Eastern medicine have used acupuncture for thousands of years to increase the flow of energy throughout the body. Our energy flows along pathways in the body called meridians. If a blockage occurs in one or more of our meridians our energy flow can become out of balance. This can manifest itself as illness or disease. We are naturally supposed to have a balance among health, well-being and happiness. EFT enables us to break away from the limitations of our previous programming and helps us return to our natural state of flow, joy and balance.
EFT helps us to move beyond the confines others have set for us and brings us closer to the abundance we seek. Once untied from the restrictions of our misguided beliefs we can begin to uncover our true self and find that we are happy, healthy, loving people who enjoy prosperity.
Gratitude lists and EFT are two ways of changing your energy to eliminate programmed limitations and attract abundance to your life.
