Eckhart Tolle said, “Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance.”
Tolle is probably right. It might be The Law of Attraction. I can’t give you a cite, but I’m sure it’s a law somewhere.
It might be religious. Giving thanks to God is a good thing.
It might be a subconscious mind thing, where when we think about good things we instruct our mind to help us get more.
So let’s do it. Let’s acknowledge the good.
Get to a place where you won’t be disturbed, get quiet and think. Think about your life, right now, and note all of the good things. Write things down if you want. Consider the 7 areas of life:
- Mental/personal development
- Career/business
- Financial
- Family
- Social
- Physical
- Spiritual
Give it ten minutes. Think about the good in your life: what you have, what you’re working towards, where you’ve been, and where you are going. Note whatever comes into your mind. You don’t have to touch on all 7 areas.
If you notice a negative thought, replace it with something that’s true and feels better. So if you think, “I’m not making the kind of money I want,” replace that with: “I’m earning more than I did before,” or “I’m learning about marketing and on my way to earning more this year.”
Whatever your beliefs about the efficacy of appreciating the good in your life, you can’t deny that thinking about the good feels good. And that is it’s own reward.
I appreciate you. Namaste.
