Attract Abundance in Life

Cycle of complaints

We often focus on what we lack in our life...

• Always mentioning or complaining what we don't have.
• We complain about our spouses, our bosses, our work, our children, our in-laws, our government,our taxation and all the lack in life.
• We go to our work and complain about our family.
• We arrive home and complain about our boss to our spouse.

The more we complain... the more negative issues/situations we attract, thereby complaining even more. It is a viscious cycle.

Be grateful

Here’s the thing: being grateful has the power to block out negative emotions. You can’t really pay attention to what’s missing or what’s not going well if you only let your mind pay attention to what is.

Human nature is to want what we don’t have and to dwell on the negatives, instead of celebrating what we do have and focusing on what’s going well.

Stop complaining

In order to break this cycle, we need to feel gratitude for what we have right now in our life. By offering gratitude, we will observe that we are granted/offered things to be more grateful for.

When you find yourself focusing on what you believe you’re lacking...

• I wish my car were nicer
• I wish my house was bigger
• I wish I had more money

Replace it with thoughts that you are thankful for.

It’s an important ritual that resets my day on a positive note from the very beginning. In the words of Buddha, “Every morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most.”

Change your mindset and focus on the positive

• Pick a time of day that suits you.
  The morning is without a doubt the best time for me to write my diary. It sets me up for the day. Not only do I have the chance to review all the wonderful experiences of the day before, but this programs my mind, right at the beginning of my day, to look for things to be thankful for in everything I do.
  I also know people who write such a diary in the evening so that they go to bed having reviewed and appreciated everything in that day.
• Try different times of day to see what works best for you as an individual rather than subscribe to how other people approach this.
• Do it every day.

Make this part of your daily routine. Even if your mood doesn’t change immediately, continue practicing. To me, it seems that, like meditation has a cumulative effect.

So, even if you don’t notice the difference in your mood over the first few days or weeks, don’t give up. It builds a reserve of gratitude in you that will eventually affect every moment of your life.

I know this might sound too good to be true, but this practice really does start to seep into every aspect of your life.

What are you grateful for today?

So just Count your blessings in life for 10 days and see the magic!
