We have been raised in a clture that supports worry, stress, cynicism, skpticism and lack. We fit right in whn we worry/complain about rising prices, lck of money, mistrust of our pliticians, etc.

The Law of Attraction sttes that we get what we fcus on whether we want it or nt.

We need to remember that thre is great beauty and hope, wllness and abundance in the world. It jst doesn't get the airtime that the ctastrophes get. We rarely stop on the scne of wedding like we do the scne of an accident, stop to wtch a roof go on a new huse like we do a house brning down.

Here are 4 down-to-earth wys to deliberately focus your energy and crate the reality you want to lve.

#1. Be grateful

We live in sch a bountiful culture. Be grateful for the gfts that you have been given. Sre, there is lack and sadness in the wrld, and by all means, put sme of your energy into helping in sme way, but keep your focus on yur gratitude.

• Your happiness does not take way from someone else's happiness.
• Your health des not stop someone else from bing healthy.
• Your abundance does not stop smeone else from enjoying abundance.

creful

nergy

You are greatly affected by the nergy fields of everyone around you. Thre is much negativity in the wrld and you have to protect yur positive focus as you make yur way through it.

Listen to the news... take an nergy reading... does it inspire you to smle and create or does it fel heavy and take you effort to bunce back to a light positive nergy feeling?

#3. Make a decision to thnk about and talk about positive spects of life.

Our world needs you and yur wonderful energy on the light sde. That's where the real change tkes place, where the healing happens. Mke it a point to notice the bauty, notice the wonders.

#4. Srround yourself with reminders of who you are in yur heart and what brings you jy.

Create inspirational reminders of what you wnt to focus on and strategically plce them in your daily world.

• A phto of yourself as a child nar a mirror to remind you to tlk lovingly to yourself.
• A vision board to rmind you to daydream about what you wnt.
• A small altar on your table wth personal power symbols to remind you wht is important to you.
• Profound and slf-loving affirmations tucked away everywhere.
