Self Image and Lack

TODAY'S PROSPERITY TIP:

Do you believe you deserve great abundance? Do you believe you can
have it in your life?

Most of us would like to believe that, but at the same time we have
a niggling little voice in the back of our minds that jeers at us:
"Ha! Who do you think you're kidding? You know you don't deserve to
be wealthy and happy. You're not one of the lucky ones and you know
it. Just give it up. You are doomed to live a mediocre life. Accept
it."

This little voice is usually the result of early programming and
negative reinforcement we experience during times of difficulty. It's
bad enough that this negative voice takes up residence in our minds
in the first place, but much worse is that we begin to believe what
it says! We end up sabotaging any efforts we make to live a more
abundant life.

If this sounds all too familiar to you, it's possible you are
blocking abundance from entering your life. Dissolving these inner
blockages may take some effort on your part, but it is time well-spent!

Here's how to turn that negative voice into a positive, supporting
voice:

- Begin speaking kindly and lovingly to yourself.

Remember, that little voice in your head will keep repeating what
you consistently tell it. In the past you may have been harsh on
yourself when you failed at something or didn't follow through with
goals you set. Recording over that negative voice with more positive
messages is very simple - just keep speaking kindly and lovingly to
yourself as often as possible! In time, the tone of that mental voice
will begin to change.

- Celebrate your achievements.

If you believe that nothing you do is ever good enough, begin making
it a priority to celebrate everything you do. Even the tiniest
accomplishment should be cause for celebration. Pat yourself on the
back, congratulate yourself, and most importantly feel GOOD about who
you are and what you do. Keep striving to do better, but also give
yourself some recognition for even trying!

- Believe that abundance is your birthright.

Keep affirming that you do deserve an abundant, happy life. Expect
abundance and goodness in all forms. Say things like this, "I just
know I'm meant to live a powerful life. I believe I have the strength
and ability to make my life into anything I want it to be." If you
know you deserve abundance, expect abundance always, and allow
yourself to open to abundance - you get abundance!

Remember that it will probably take time to notice obvious results.
Keep doing the steps as often as you can, and before long you should
find yourself feeling lighter and happier, AND attracting ever-
increasing amounts of abundance into your life.
