Today as I started to meditate I found myself thinking about money. Making money, saving money, investing money... It occurred to me that I spend a lot of time and energy thinking about what I want. It's always something - to be more fit, to have more, to achieve more.
Quickly I realized that I was swimming in materialism while trying to meditate. I dropped my awareness down deeper into myself and affirmed, "my life is overflowing with abundance." At first I didn't feel it, but something in me would not budge until I felt the words I was saying. So I started to think about all the blessings in my life - too many to count.
After a few minutes I felt it. When I was done meditating I went into the kitchen to get a cup of coffee. I noticed my beautiful fruit bowl that my brother and sister-in-law made me years ago full of bannanas, pears, and apples. I grabbed my favorite coffee mug out of the cupboard. It's purple and says, "prosperity" on it.
I can still feel it and am so grateful that I remembered all that I am and all that I have.

What a great way to have started your day. We all need to reccognize what we have in our lives. At the same time we need to focus on what we have to give and what we have not yet achieved or received.
Reflection and thankfulness are increadibly important; however, we should also be focussed on our purpose and acheiving more than we have. I feel there is nothing wrong with wanting material things, so long as we are following our passion driven purpose.
What a great example of being able to consciously shift your energy through focus. Focusing your energy to where it needs to be is a very effective tool!
I have a situation at work that is very toxic. I realized that I have been backing down instead of fully been bringing my energy into the situation, which makes me feel insecure and scared. The past month I have CONSCIOUSLY focused on bringing my energy in strongly to confront the situation, rather than hiding from it. I did not change things externally, strictly internally. I cannot believe what a difference it has made! I feel so confident now and others are treating me differently - with more respect since my energy has shifted.
What a great topic.
