Well today is Lammas, a time for celebrating the beginning of harvest and the prosperity to come. Sadly, I am stuck in the office and not able to join in celebrations. However this is a time to welcome abundance into your life and it has really got me thinking about my own attitude.

We all deserve it
We all deserve abundance in our lives and it is much easier to obtain that many people think. All you have to do is let go of your negative thoughts and start believing that you deserve it. You don't have to earn it or complete certain tasks to get it. The universe is full of abundance and there is plenty for everyone.

What is it you want?
An annoying habit many people fall into is giving way to 'if only' syndrome. I am a pretty bad offender myself; 'if only I was richer, prettier, thinner, and so on, life would be perfect. These negative thoughts really block abundance entering your life.

Count your blessings
Instead of dreaming of what you want, think about the things you actually have. What richness and abundance do you already have in your life? Write down the wonderful things and keep a list of them. They can be anything from people you love to a bird landing on a branch or even a moment of quiet reflection. Climb out of the web of expectations and feel the abundance you already have. When you realise you already have abundance in your life, this new attitude will draw more prosperity your way.

I have done this myself lately and have noticed a big difference. Instead of dwelling on what I want, I am thinking about things that make me happy in life, which is usually something simple like watching my boyfriend wrestle a spider out of our flat or smiling at a stranger in the street. I have felt much happier, confident and positive within myself and I'm sure the abundance will follow shortly after.
