Abundance Mindset Simple Abundance Exercises
Author: ashish
Experts agree that feeling healthier, happier, and more prosperous will actually lead to a physical life of improved health, happiness, and prosperity. Our outer world eventually must reflect the workings of our inner world.
Think about it: When you feel really bad, whether sick, broke, or just depressed, how do the events unfold in your day? Most of us agree that when we are feeling negative the events and circumstances around us continue to get worse.
On the other hand, when you wake up feeling great, how does your day tend to proceed? Again most of us can relate to this; when we feel vibrant, alive, and joyous the world around us is a happier place filled with wonderful surprises.
This article is not about analyzing the relation of your feelings to the events and occurrences in your life. We’ll proceed under the assumption that how you feel is reflected in many ways by what happens in your life.
On this basis, it only makes sense to create as much good feeling as possible. Let’s focus on abundance and prosperity, and how you can generate the feelings of having more than enough in your life.
The truth is you don’t need thousands of dollars in your checking account to feel like you have plenty. There are a number of small things you can do to create a feeling of prosperity and plenty within your life.
Cash In Your Wallet
One very simple technique is to keep cash in your wallet. This doesn’t even need to be a significant amount; breaking a 20-dollar bill into singles works great for this.
When you open your wallet for any reason, you will note the small stack of bills inside. Your unconscious mind will observe the fact that you always have money on your person, and you will be surprised at how far this will go toward helping you feel more abundant.
Well-Stocked Cabinets
Often it’s the minutia of life that catches us off guard and causes us to feel broke or struggling. Having to constantly go to the store for groceries and supplies fuels the feeling that you never have enough and are always on the verge of running out.
Another very simple tactic is to stock your cabinets with paper towels, dish liquid, and other household essentials. You could also spend a few bucks on a large stack of canned food, and you might even go a step further by adding a few jugs of purified water to the mix.
This exercise can cost less than twenty bucks. You’ll be buying things you use anyway, and every time you look in the cabinet to see that you are well-stocked for a month or two in advance, you’ll experience a very real feeling of relaxation and well-being.
Circulate Money Instead Of Spending It
When it’s time to pay a light bill, mortgage, car payment, etc. avoid thinking in terms of spending money. That which is spent is used up and gone forever.
Instead, tell yourself you are circulating money for the good of the economy. When you pay your utility bill, you are supporting your region’s ability to have lights, water, etc.
Some of the money you circulate in this manner will be used to pay worker’s salaries, enabling them to support their families. And a portion of your payment will be profit for the company being paid, meaning it will go back into the economy.
On the occasions that you pay a bill with cash, take a moment to hold the stack of bills in your hand. Take a good look at it. Feel the texture of the printed paper with your fingers. Smell the currency. Fully immerse yourself in the experience of holding a decent chunk of cash in your hands.
At any time in the future you can easily imagine yourself holding a large sum of money because you regularly engage in the practice of doing so.
These techniques are simple, and can be applied by anyone. More importantly, they really work.
Don’t discount these tips as being too simplistic. Try them in your own life and you’ll be pleasantly surprised by how much they improve your feeling of abundance and prosperity.

How do you get your body out of ‘starvation mode’?
So during the summer I went on a healthy, exercising high and lost 20lbs and 10% body fat. At my leanest, I was 110lbs with 13% body fat. However, I had the mind set of an anorexic: I was burning 600~1400 cals or more a day from exercise alone and I was finding myself extremely afraid of ‘bad’ food, crying when I accidentally had some not-diet soda. I also experienced horrible binging phases (eating an entire tub of frosting in the middle of the night). My boyfriend was considering leaving me because I had become a nightmare to deal with.
After I had my epiphany, I tried to change my ways and started eating more. However, I compensated my increased calorie intake with over-exercising and I found my body constantly exhausted..and the scale started creeping up at alarming rates: about 2lbs a week!
Although my “net” calories (calories burned from exercise minus calories eaten) was very low (around -200~600), I was still gaining weight rapidly.
I did ask a doctor and she simply told me that I’m exercising too much and that I needed to cut it down. So instead of 2-3 hour sessions, my sessions are about an hour and a half. I haven’t gained weight for over a month, which is nice, but I haven’t lost any weight either. My measurements have dropped just a little.
How can I go back to losing? My body fat is still relatively low (19~20%) but now I’m 132lbs and 5’4″. I would like to be 120lbs (lose about 5% body fat). I currently eat 1300~1600 calories a day with 6 days a week of exercise (3-4 days a week is a weight circuit; I burn about 650-700 cals a day). My diet is relatively healthy minus the occasional sweet. I’ve found on not restricting so much on what I eat (just how much) my mind has recovered from it’s anorexic mindset and I’m much happier.
It’s frusterating because I lost 10lbs and got to 120lbs before without exercising one bit! And now that I exercise so much more and I eat so much healthier, my weight simply won’t budge. How can I get my metabolism back to normal?
You might have put on weight from gaining muscle from exercising so much.
Word of advice, maybe it’s your body telling you you shouldn’t lose any weight. You’re at a perfect weight for your height. Even if you were 5-10 pounds heavier than you are now, the fact that you exercise and you eat healthy (though I don’t know how much of what exactly you eat), that’s all that really matters. It’s not always in the weight.
People plateau for a reason, it’s because their body freaks out from losing weight. Your body is freaked out from the yo-yo dieting you’ve been doing. Besides, some people just aren’t meant to be a certain weight. Not saying you’re fat or overweight by any means, but some people will lose weight to be at the proper weight for their age and height, but they’ll look gaunt and unhealthy, simply because people carry weight in different ways.
Please stop obsessing with your weight. I know it’s easier said than done, but I struggle with the same thing as you every day, and every day I try to tell myself that even though I’m unhappy with the way I look at the weight I’m at, I’m still very much at a healthy weight (5’3” 113-118 pounds)
If this continues, you should go to therapy just a few times. Please don’t become a statistic (a teen with an eating disorder)
How does one find the mindset to exercise?
I’m roughly 60 pounds over my idea weight. I have a stationary recumbent bike that I occasionally ride, but nowhere nearly as often as I should to lose weight. I’m well aware of the physiological benefits of exercising, and how detrimental fat can be. But I’m wondering if anyone knows of a web site or book or something that can help me to get into the proper mindset to do it on a consistent basis.
For comparison, I was wondering if there was something similar to Allen Carr’s book on quitting smoking (which did wonders for me). Thanks!
Yes I suggest 2 things
1.Music
2.the website below
Trust me It will teach you stuff you do not learn in the gym
Good luck my friend
How can I fix my metabolism? How long will it take?
I’m a 16 yr old girl, just to clarify before I get into details.
I know I have a higher metabolism than adults do. After a couple weeks of a “vacation” (meaning, eating awful foods because that’s all my parents packed and sitting around in a car all day), I wanted to get back to my healthy eating. Doctors tell me not to go under 1800 calories a day otherwise it’ll hurt my metabolism and put myself into starvation mode.
Well, for the first week, I ate on average 1780 calories/day, but I had one day that I kinda pigged out and had 2500. The other days were really too low- and I knew it, but I couldn’t eat much physically, despite eating around 55 g of fat each day. I worked out that week and lost enough, and I figured my metabolism- just doing my general thing each day without exercising- was around 2050.
So, I figured, to lose a half a pound, I didn’t have to workout much the next week. I honestly couldn’t because I had to clean and work and such all that week. I only lost .6 lbs, but I didn’t even get to 1800 6 out of the 7 days. I was at 1500, 1600, 1650, etc. I just couldn’t eat more.
I figured that this actually slowed my metabolism down and it was now in the 1900s (I did the calculations, and I know it’s all approximate). But it’s worse. Despite losing .6 lbs, my measurements got bigger- my waist by 1/2 an inch, even.
So basically, from 2 weeks of not eating enough, I slowed my metabolism, and on Sunday when I found out, I got really upset and vowed that this week I didn’t care if I gained weight, I wouldn’t worry about calories at all or even being healthy and just eat whatever I wanted, because I know that’ll be more than 2000 calories, and if I tried to be healthy, I’d wind up lower than 1800.
I know that’s not really a healthy mindset either. But, will doing this for one week stop my metabolism from slowing down or even help it get back up to 2000 at least?
