Abundance in 2016

Hello Amazing, Creative Doll Babes!

I can honestly say that I am pumped about this year.

I can feel that it is going to be a duzy. . . in a really GREAT way!

Although I do the typical New Year's resolutions, New Year intetnion, New Year goals thing; I have also been picking a word for my year for a while now. I think it helps me to hone in on what I truly want to cultivate within my life and brings everything back to that goal.

My word for 2015 was AUTHENTIC. It taught me so much, and I honor it as I move forward into 2016, my year for ABUNDANCE.

Abundance is much more that having a lot of stuff or having a fat bank account (although that is its own goal altogether). Abundance to me is a feeling. A feeling of being fufilled, taken care of, supported and unconditionally loved and accepted.

Abundance means your cup overfloweth.

Abuncance means that you have everything you need.

Abundance is a mindset. And it will be my mindset for this year.

There are a few things that I am implememnting to help me bring Abundance into my life this year.

1. Keep a gratitude journal.

This is number one on my list. I sort of did this last year, but I just wrote down what I was grateful for in my everyday journal. This year a dear friend of mine gave me an actual gratitude journal for Christmas. I have been writing in it daily. I'll be honest, some days it isn't easy. Some days suck. They just suck and there is nothing you can do about the suckiness. But even bad days have silver linings. Maybe you had the perfect ratio of milk and coffee in your morning latte. Or maybe you got to eat lunch at the cute little park on the corner. Or maybe you got a sweet text from a friend you've been missing. The truth is that each day has little gems for you, and searching them out and writing them in your journal can be a super rewarding experience.

2. Releasing old blocks.

There are many ways to do this, but as someone who loves ritual and practices psychospirituality, I find releasing rituals to be incredibly helpful in busting through those old brick walls. Write your old block on a piece of paper and burn it or burry it out in your back yard. Or, a oddly satisfying one, write it on a piece of toilet paper and flush it. One of my friends, Joanna DeVoe, has funerals for the things she wants to release - which it decidedly kickass. Most of us have a lot of mixed up emotions and negative thought patterns around abundance. We all struggle with it in one way or another. But realeasing those old blocks can help us to signal to the Universe that we are ready to move on and accept more blessings into our lives.

3. Affirmations.

Affirmations are one of my favorite ways to build strong, healthy spiritual foundations. I will write affirmation in my filofax, on my mirror in lipstick, on my hand or in my journals. It is pretty safe to say that my life is sprinkled with lovely little reminders, which is just the way I like it. I am also a huge proponet of EFT and use affirmations along with tapping on a daily basis. If you want to know more about tapping, Joanna DeVoe and Molly Roberts have some great YouTube videos about them. I will do my own at some point too. A few of my favorites about abundance are: (feel free to steal ;))

I am effortlessly and fervently abundant.

Today, money flows to me effortlessly.

I have all I need to feel safe and secure in the world.

I forgive and release all financial stresses with love.

There are some great ones online and in books, but I find it really helpful to make up my own. They just seem more powerful that way.

I hope that you were able to find some inspiration here, and I hope that 2016 is abundant, powerful and full of fufilled dreams for you. xoxoxo
