When you hear the words abundance, prosperity and success, what’s the first thought that comes to your mind?

If you think of money, wealth and finances, then know that’s okay. We’re conditioned to think about moolah and tangible items as hallmarks. Let’s accept it, money definitely has a powerful charge.

In fact, when I did my series on money, my post on attracting abundance by raising one’s money set point based on my own practices, it made it to my popular post section.

You can read the post at this link . Also check out additional resources in that post to attract more money into your life.

But there’s more to abundance than a pot of gold.

You don’t have to wait for special occasions or moments in the day to manifest abundance. With a few simple behavioural changes, you can attract more good abundance into your life as a whole.

It can feel like a daunting task but it’s actually very simple. Ultimately it comes down to certain actions you can take and thoughts you can enforce to improve your quality of life by attracting and manifesting exactly what you want.

By making an effort to manifest your dreams and aspirations, you’ll find yourself reshaping your perspective on life and connecting with your desires.

In this post, I’m sharing 5 simple and easy examples of behaviours you can incorporate into your daily life for lasting results.

In fact, when you embrace these behaviours, you raise your own vibration. This in turn helps the Universe to send you more of what you desire.

In other words, the Law of Attraction starts to work in your favour too!

Change the lens -alter your Mindset

This is an important behaviour and one where I often spend time with my coaching clients – mindset.

Often the reason people don’t accomplish their dreams and aspirations is because their subconscious mind holding them back. Your mind can be your best friend or your greatest enemy, but luckily that is in your control.

Instead of thinking about your possibilities and taking risks, people who aren’t attracting abundance are most likely afraid of failure and hold themselves back due to protection and safety.

When you can build up a positive mentality and are willing to step out of your comfort zone, you will realize that the possibilities are endless.

I’d go as far as to state that when we change the lens with which we see the world, then we attract more of what we want.

Dump your Excuses

It can be very easy to make excuses for why you are unable to accomplish your goals and dreams, but letting go of these excuses will determine the success of your future.

By constantly making excuses, you are leading yourself through a trail of bad habits that will prevent you from achieving abundance in any aspect of your life.

These excuses are a sign of a victim mentality and you’re distancing yourself from the responsibility of achieving those goals and targets that will get you closer to your desired state of prosperity and abundance.

By training your mind to be strong and building up a strong sense of willpower to make yourself unstoppable, you will feel more productive and inclined to accomplish your goals.

The more you strengthen your mind, the more you will attract the desired abundance.

Feel Empowered

You create your reality based on your thoughts, opinions, and reactions to situations. It may not seem like it, but the way you feel about yourself reflects directly on those around you and their feelings towards you.

When you are confident and feel empowered, the people who you talk to will feel like they can trust you and will make decisions that will most likely benefit you.

For example, when I started Karmic Ally Coaching, I was making a complete change in career from finance to professional and executive coaching. My first few clients came from referrals from former colleagues and friends.

Why? Because while they wanted to help me, the prospective client could tell I was passionate about my work and confident to deliver results (which I did of course!). They signed up without negotiating my price.

Whether you realize it or not, the confidence you have within reflects on your situations nearly every day. By feeling courageous and empowered, you will attract abundance from a personal, professional, and financial perspective.

Be Supportive of Others

By adding value to the quality of others’ lives, you will attract abundance at the most important times.

When you realize and accept that there is an unlimited amount of knowledge, money, and recognition to go around, you will no longer be afraid of lifting others.

Supporting others has plenty of benefits that will impact your own life. For example, if you teach someone or help them out when they need something, they will feel more inclined to trust you and help you out.

People whom I had supported wanted to support me get Karmic Ally Coaching off to a good start. I didn’t have any expectations of reciprocity but there was an abundance of goodwill to help me.

Create Goals and Commit to Them

Specific Goals, whether short-term or long-term are the most important way to achieve your dreams and aspirations.

These specific goals help you to understand your values in life and make you feel productive. Goals help you to align your “why” with your surroundings and ways you can improve your life.

You stop making excuses because the goals become strong and you are motivated to achieve them.

3 Steps to make these behaviours help you manifest what you want

In the continuing chaos caused by second waves of COVID-19, lockdowns, unlocks, work from home, return to office, go back to work from home, have you taken time out to reflect on what you want out of 2021? Will it still be possible?

That’s the question that was on my mind this last weekend as I realized we’re entering the last month of Q2 2021. I took stock of where I was and what I wanted to achieve.

Are we on the same wavelength?

I believe we need to go with the flow and stay resilient in the face of challenge.

I also believe that we can have whatever we want from our life and our careers if we’re willing to see problems and challenges as opportunities for growth and transformation.

In other words, we can live an abundant life provided we embrace the right mindset.

Everything we desire and need is available to us but we need to take action to manifest it.

Today I want to encourage you to use your latent powers of manifestation to create your best year yet. I’ve already outlined the 5 behavior changes you need to make. Now it’s time to take more action.

Here are 3 steps that I always apply and so do my successful clients.

By applying these steps, you will increase your ability to access the abundance that surrounds you and also allow you to manifest what you desire in your life.

I used it to manifest 2 Covishield vaccine shots, one for my Mom and the other for myself at a time when the COWIN app was crashing. There was also a massive shortage of the vaccine in New Delhi.

Step 1: Define What You Want Clearly

Knowing what you want is important to the manifestation process. It is practically impossible for the universe to give you what you want if you don’t know what you want!

People who know exactly what they want can manifest their desires. It’s sometimes easier to identify what we want by focusing on a feeling.

For example, you know you don’t want to be tied financially because you need to feel financial freedom. That feeling is important. The more that feeling is present in your life, the more you will work towards your desired state.

To define what you want, simply start with the following statement: “I want…” That will stop you from describing what you don’t want.

Step 2: Identify Actions You Can Take

Once you’ve identified what you want more in your life, start brainstorming a list of small actions. Abundance doesn’t happen overnight.

Most people who live an abundant life will tell you that they work at it every day. On a daily basis, they are accomplishing small actions that aligns them with what they want in life.

These small actions will get you closer to your desire. For example, when we know we desire financial freedom, we can ask ourselves questions like:

What can bring me financial freedom?

Maybe the answer could be to pay off any credit card debt to feel a sense of financial freedom.

The next question would be

What action can I take right now to pay my credit card debt?

Then make a list of actions like the following:

• Pay the full monthly bill instead of just the minimum monthly payment to avoid incurring high rates of interest on the outstanding balance
• Cut my card so that I never use it again (Dame Maggie Thatcher did it and so can you!)
• Sell items that are no longer used by me, are causing clutter and use the money to pay my credit card.

Step 3: Act Now

Pick an action that is the most realistic for you and apply it today. Let’s be honest, only actions will lead you to what you desire.

Dusting my bookshelf yesterday, I stumbled upon my copy of Deepak Chopra’s book The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success and by habit, started reading it from the middle.  As if a Higher Power was directing the process, I opened the chapter on the Law of Giving.

Maybe it’s because Diwali is coming up this weekend. I’m in a more spiritual mood than usual, but reflecting over the last year or so, it’s a topic worthy of a blog post.

If one considers that the universe operates on energy and the act of giving and receiving are different aspects of this flow of energy in the universe, then surely one would receive from the universe’s abundance in as much as is required provided we give back some too. Tithing also helps to circulate this energy.

While the book looks at the act of giving from a spiritual aspect, one notices this act of Giving and Receiving even in daily life.

This short read is a good book to keep on your bedside table and you can learn more about its contents by clicking on the book cover below. 

Practical examples of Law of Giving in the real world

The best example that I can think of is my friend and loyal companion, my pet Miss Coco. Morning walks are time when she wags her tail at drivers washing their cars and morning walkers. She’s greeted in return with smiles and guaranteed at least one pat on the head.

She gives us her love and company. In return Miss Coco receives all the material comfort that a canine member of a family can be given from its human household members.

Miss Coco practices the spiritual art of giving, receiving and tithing to perfection. In my books, this lassie is successful.

Perhaps the balance of giving was tilted in her favor and had to be repaid which it was last year when Miss Coco suffered from hind leg paralysis.

Despite being given treatment in less than 6 hours after the problem was diagnosed (24 hours is the maximum if the dog is to have a fighting chance of ever walking again), by the time we approached week 5 of her treatment, the vet had reduced her chances to 30:70.

He was talking about wheels to help her move around once the 7-week window for recovery closed.

I believe God had other plans for Miss Coco’s recovery

The vet and I discussed the possibility of this frisky girl being depressed and the chances of improving the odds in our favor if I could somehow inspire her to take an interest in life again.

It seemed that the Smiley Stress Ball that I wrote about was not enough to provide the breakthrough and I was ready to go for broke. I purchased a baby pram to take Miss Coco to her favorite place – the garden.

It was a long shot, but it worked and the Law of Receiving began in earnest. The very drivers and residents she used to make happy during her walks started coming up to us and saying loving words to this little girl.

None of them noticed the peculiar sight of a grown-up human being pushing a dog in a top range baby pram around on a walk.

What they did notice was a little dog who used to chase the birds and had a tail full of wags in dire need of moral and emotional support to get back on her 4 feet. I didn’t need to ask, they wanted to be part of the miracle – which they were indeed.

Little children would run up to Miss Coco and say loving words while patting her head. The anti-dog people felt bad for her and told us to have faith in God. The Universe was giving back generously to a Soul whose mission statement in Life is to make the humans happy.

Miss Coco’s karma is very good. I found support via my friends and Group members on Facebook. Lots of prayers were being sent for my little girl, my furry baby on wheels.

Love combined with canine physiotherapy that I learned courtesy YouTube (we don’t have physiotherapy for dogs or cats in India) made Miss Coco stand up the day before my birthday last year.

It was a matter of helping her to walk with balance. 3 months later, the baby pram was put away for use when she is a senior dog.

It isn’t just spiritual energy being exchanged. Look a little further and you’ll find acts of Giving and Receiving being operated even in the outside world resulting in much benefit and mutual success for both parties.

For example, Chambers of Commerce and educational institutes, at least in Delhi often invite guest speakers to speak at seminars on topical subjects. The speakers may be paid a nominal amount or even invited to do it for free. The seminar guests may pay a nominal amount or even be invited for free.

There is an exchange of energy and success for both sides even if not immediately monetary. For the speaker, it is an opportunity to show case his knowledge and market himself or his organization. There is an opportunity to get business without brazenly soliciting it. The value of the service is proven in the presentation.

For the seminar attendee by giving their time and if required the participation fee. There is access to knowledge and information which aids in informed decisions.

Think about it. Isn’t that what we call a Win-Win Situation?

Living in the era of “Gimme, Gimme and then Get Lost

In an era where the general attitude is one of getting the most out of others without giving anything, what I like to refer to as “Gimme, Gimme and then Get Lost”, it is no wonder people fall into a rut or find themselves unable to make any real progress.

Their energy flows get blocked. There are just so many flowers you can get from a plant unless you nurture it and give it the right amount of water and sunshine.

Activate the Law of Giving and Receiving in your life today by giving compliments to others. Doing little acts of kindness to those who may not be in a position to return the favour builds good karma. The Universe ensures compensation.

Open yourself to receiving and show gratitude for what you already have, no matter how little.

Try giving a little, sharing a little and watch how abundance starts to flow into your life.

Have you ever experienced the return of a good deed? Even if it was not from the person that you gave to just when you needed help?  

PS. There’s lots more Coco life coaching at my blog. Here is one where Miss Coco taught me about empathy. On a scale of 1 to 10, how much empathetic perception are you using when you say “I feel your pain”?
