Daily Gratitude: “Abundance shows up in my life in beautiful and surprising ways every day.”

Another useful affirmation for you. The most important caveat, though, is to remember that abundance is much more than just money or wealth. Abundance is everywhere and everything.

If you start looking for abundance all around you, you will amaze yourself when you see it in every nook and cranny you examine.

You will be surprised once you start expecting it too. If you believe your life will be filled with abundance and start spotting signs of it, then it will be popping up in front of your eyes before you know it.

Declare that there is abundance all around you! It is there waiting to be seen!

Daily Gratitude: “Remember:
Doctors are Experts in Treatment
You are the Expert in Your Life.”

You’re in your doctor’s office (well I mean in the exam room anyway) for maybe 10 minutes.

This person may find out about your lab numbers and your imaging studies. But how much does he or she know about your life? And even if they ask about it (consider yourself blessed if they do), they only know what you choose to tell them.

You are the expert in your life. They are experts in diagnosis and proposed treatments but you are the one who has to follow the orders. Sometimes that works and sometimes it doesn’t.

This statement can apply to chronic illnesses and even terminal illnesses. When you are preparing your end of life wishes, a medical provider can assist and make recommendations but you know what you want to endure and how you want to spend your time.

Even if you don’t have a terminal illness, take the second part of the statement and make it a mantra. You are, indeed, the expert of your own life. Don’t let someone else ruin it.

Daily Gratitude: “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”

This is another wise saying that bears repeating. We fall into the same way of thinking about all of our issues. That may work out fine most of the time. However, when you’re stumped and can’t find a solution, it’s time to step back and look at the problem from a different perspective. We have to be creative. And since our brains operate in “typical” patterns 99% of the time, we may need to ask for help. Others aren’t in our ruts so they can give excellent advice as to how to approach something.

Just a simple question from another person may open the door you couldn’t find.

Go do something different. The things you normally do with your dominant hand try doing with your non-dominant one for awhile. Make yourself come up with a different way to do something. Just vary your routines and techniques and see if that opens your mind to look at your issue differently.

There is always an answer and most of the time there is a solution. If you can’t find one, then accept that it will all work out. I know personally that it does.
