Think Abundant Life

I believe personal achievements and our relationships are key to creating an abundant life.

Once you have set your personal goals, make sure your thinking is in line with them.

One of my goals was to start every day with a smile, so in the morning I tried to be aware of how I started my day. I noticed some days I woke up with a smile and some days my first thoughts were negative and didn't make me smile at all. My solution, every morning I think and focus on what I am grateful for in my life, until I get my smile.

Be aware of your thoughts and change them so they help you achieve your personal goals and an abundant life.

Relationships can make us laugh, give us joy and truly make our life abundant. There are so many different types of relationships you can have: family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, in laws and the perfect partner. When things are good in any relationship it enhances your life but when things go sideways you can feel like your life is upside down.

One of the first things to learn is that you alone are responsible for the way you feel. It doesn't matter what a person says to you, you have control over how you feel. Realize you have the power to change your feelings and if your emotions and thoughts become negative:

Say to yourself "change" to clear the thought away, and bring in a good thought.

Think about what you are grateful for in your life.

Think of all the good things you did today.

Think about a specific time that brought you great joy.

Think about a time that you had fun with that special person.

Think about anything you can that will help you switch your emotion or thought back to a positive one.

All your relationships can add joy and abundance to your life if you choose to feel good about them.

If you have a relationship that you struggle with, stop focusing on how annoying it is and start focusing on how you would like it to be. Think about the situation and what would be the perfect outcome then think about it over and over. You will be amazed at how this can change a relationship from one you struggle with to one you find joy in.

How we think can change a relationship overnight.
