From the recent issue of O magazine, Martha Beck has a great quote and prosperity affirmation: “Everything good is readily available” Later on she gives a simple exercise for a shift in consciousness:
It’s almost too easy: Simply by taking your attention off thoughts of scarcity and persistently focusing on observations of abundance, you can replace the nervous, just-in-case mind-set that kept our ancient forebears alive but is killing many of us. The best way to effect this shift is to use these simple exercises:
1. List ten times you thought that there wouldn’t be enough of something and you survived.
2. List ten areas where you have too much, not too little.
3. List 20-or 50, or 1,000-wonderful things that entered your life just at the right time, with no effort on your part. Start with the little things (oxygen, sunlight, a song on the radio). You’ll soon think of bigger ones. Most of my clients realize that the most important things in their lives showed up this way.
