Letting Go

I was reminded several times in the past few days the importance of letting go.

Sometimes it is soooo much easier said than done!

For me the biggest area for letting go is around choices other people are making. Of course, I believe that I know what is best for them (!) Seriously, I believe that most of the time I do attempt to provide information and let folks come to their own conclusions. That being said, when people we love (in this case, my mother) are not taking care of themselves I have found it to be challenging to just "let go".

My life coach talked to me quite a bit about it yesterday.

Then this morning I read a Go Gratitude post from Saturday--it was about letting go. I was a bit behind in reading these posts and the timing was impeccable! Law of Attraction at work!

In addition to that, every morning I pull a card from T Harv Eker's Secrets of the Millionaire Mind Cards and today I pulled "Learn to Live In Your Higher Self".

This card goes on to say

Respond to all situations from your love-based 'higher' self rather than reacting from your fear-based 'lower' self. You'll not only be happier, you'll get richer, too.

I really came to realize that the reason I was having so much trouble letting go in this matter was because I was afraid of what the outcome might be. The truth is I don't know what the outcome will be and my mother is on her own path and it is not my place to judge or "fix" her. It is my job to love her--to come from my higher self.

So thanks to my coach Dr. Linda, Go Gratitude, Harv and the Universe!

How Can I Attract More Money Into My Life

It may not be all about the money, but as I've said before, money is a measurable thing and so it is a way to practice your attraction skills.

So how do you attract more?

One of the first things to do is to be grateful for what you have. Keep a gratitude log--fill it will all the things you are grateful for, not just money. By being grateful we open ourselves up for receiving more.

Notice what you have, find and attract. Value every penny. T Harv Eker teaches us to pick up that penny on the ground and say "I am a money magnet, thank you, thank you, thank you!" I agree with that philosophy. If we don't appreciate what we have and what comes our way, why should the universe send us any more?

Another step is to notice when you have the opportunity to expand what your money will acquire. Is there a sale going on for something that you need or want? Did you get a coupon in the mail for something that you'd like to have? Or did you find a coupon in the paper for a favorite food item? Have you gotten a gift certificate?

These are all examples of abundance and money flowing to you. Learn to recognize them and appreciate them. Along with your gratitude log, track these gifts.

Michael Losier refers to an evidence log--where you track the evidence of abundance. This is a great place to write down the penny you found, the coupon you used, the coffee someone bought for you. In addition, write down anything else that is abundant that you see--it doesn't have to be about money.

The idea is to reinforce in our minds that there is indeed abundance in the world. Think of all the grains of sand on the beach...and all the beaches in the world...the waves in the ocean...the leaves on the trees...the blades of grass...the clouds in the sky...you get the picture!!

Then remember to be grateful and say "There is abundance in the world. I am abundant!"
