We live with many rules about how we should feel. When we believe we have to feel a certain way given our circumstances, we are enslaved to our emotions. If we are stuck in traffic we think we should feel angry and anxious, so we do. If a loved one is sick we think we should feel worried and afraid. If it's cloudy outside, we think we have to feel bad.
Now you may find that some of your reactions seem almost pre-programmed, beyond your control, and without a doubt you're right. For our entire lives we've been told what to do and how to live, what's more important and what to avoid, from family, caregivers, teachers, television, the list goes on and on. It is easy to mistake all these incoming signals as rules and guidelines for how to live. They are not. The moment you allow yourself to break free from outside dictates and embrace your own standards for happiness, you are free.
Because of our programming, our unconscious mind believes it's important to protect us. Remember as a child being told that you must hold an adult's hand when you crossed the street? That was an important rule for when you were little and could not protect yourself. As you grew up you became able to take care of yourself so you no longer had to hold onto an adult's hand to cross the street. Imagine how limited your life would be if you still believed you needed an adult's help to cross the street?
On your quest for abundance you will run into each and every one of your limiting beliefs in turn, and your job is to dismiss them all. No one but you has any say or a claim to your happiness, and you must tell your inner mind to let these limiting ideas go. How will you ever manifest your desires if you will not let go of your limiting beliefs? The answer is you won't.
Thankfully letting go of these beliefs can be accomplished through many easy techniques, including affirmations, visualizations, gratitude lists and the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT).
Gratitude List
One way to change your energy is through the creation of a gratitude list. This inventory will show you all of the wonderful things you have for which to be thankful. It focuses your thoughts on positive things and shows you that you already experience success and ampleness each day. On days when you struggle to find something to be grateful for, be grateful for your breath. It is instrumental in keeping you alive. It nourishes your body. You are successful at breathing and nourishing your body with that breath. Therefore, you are successful in at least one thing. Focus on this and you will see that you have the capacity for success. Here's one way to look at it. Is it more important to be a person who successfully breathes or a person who successfully facilitates an important business merger? If you aren't breathing, the merger won't happen. If you can breathe, then you are successful and the day is good. So, you certainly have something for which to be thankful.
Emotional Freedom Technique
Another quick way to refocus your energy is by practicing the Emotional Freedom Technique, or EFT. EFT is a method of energy healing that combines light tapping on traditional acupuncture energy points with verbal affirmations of self love and acceptance. The tapping stimulates our meridians, allowing energy that may be blocked to move freely throughout our system. Blocked energy can cause all types of unease, from doubt and worry all the way to illness. Our natural balanced state of ease occurs when our energy is allowed to flow freely with no restrictions, and EFT helps us restore this natural balance.
EFT helps us to move beyond the confines others have set for us and brings us closer to the abundance we seek. Once untied from the restrictions of our misguided beliefs we can begin to uncover our true self and find that we are happy, healthy, loving people who enjoy prosperity.
Gratitude lists and EFT are two simple ways of changing your energy to manifest abundance in your own life.
