What is your Abundance IQ? What do you want it to be? Below are the steps in greater detail:
Step #1: Define what Abundance means to you; this is your Abundance Inner Quest.
- Only you can know what Abundance means in your life. Although it usually has to do with having enough money, that is not always the case. Maybe it means have abundant good health, an abundance of friends, work or art that makes you feel satisfied and appreciative every day, or a spiritual practice that allows you to feel peace and contentment…no matter the amount of money you have.
- Begin to understand how your relationship with Abundance (or lack thereof) impacts your life.
Step #2: Step #2: How would it feel if your life was filled with Abundance in the way you define Abundance? This is your Abundance IQ (Inner Quest)
- It is the feeling state your are after…not the actual end result.
- Remember a time when you felt truly joyful. That is the state of abundance. That is your Abundance IQ.
Step #3: Surround yourself with images, people, and experiences that feed your Abundance IQ.
- Are there people in your life that awaken your Abundance IQ? Be with them more often.
- Find images (post cards, photographs, pictures from magazine) that awaken your Abundance IQ. Make them visible in your day — on your computer, in your wallet, on your refrigerator, on your desk, in your pocket, everywhere. Smile when you notice them. This will strengthen your Abundance IQ.
- Receive our free weekly Clues-Letter (which happens to start with A for Affluence and Abundance) to receive beautiful reminders of your Abundance IQ. To sign up, go to our Home page.
Step #4: Watch for evidence that Abundance is coming your way. This will increase your Abundance IQ.
- If Abundance, to you, means having more money right now be sure to notice any signs that it is coming your way. This includes:
- the unexpected $10 bill you find in your coat pocket
- the $3 surcharge from the ATM sent back to your bank account
- a friend offering to pick up the check at dinner
- anything that moves you closer to strengthening your Abundance IQ
Step #5: Appreciate every moment and situation when anything related to your Abundance IQ shows up. This will increase Abundance in your life.
- Appreciation strengthens your Abundance IQ. Appreciate everything:
- Appreciate the unexpected $10 bill you find in your coat pocket.
- Appreciate the $3 surcharge from the ATM sent back to your bank account.
- Appreciate a friend offering to pick up the check at dinner.
- Appreciate yourself. This is often difficult for us to do, but is important. Right now, appreciate something about yourself (it can be anything from waking up early to meditate today, to taking the time to strengthen your Abundance IQ, to remembering to reach out to a friend in need, to doing your laundry, etc. Nothing is too small to appreciate.)
