Focus on the Presence not the Absence

The key to success with ease and grace is to shift our perceptions from one of lack and limitation to one of abundance and infinite possibilities. One way to do this is to shift the focus of our attention, thoughts and conversations from the absence of what we don’t have yet to the presence of what we do have.

Einstein said, you can’t solve a problem from the place it is created. Often times, we fall into tunnel vision only seeing what is directly in front of us the problems, frustrations and struggles rather than being able to zoom out and rise above to see the expanded vision of infinite possibilities available to us if we just allow it.

Many times we are tuned into the radio station in the mind of K-WORRY, K-FEAR,
K-DOUBT. This station broadcasts commercial free all of the things we desire but don’t have yet: the dream career, ideal relationship and overflow of cash in the bank.

Since are thoughts are energy and are a vibrational magnet that attracts circumstances into our lives. If we spend the majority of our time focused on what we don’t have rather than on what we intend to create than it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.

Henry Ford said, “If you think you can you can. If you think you can’t you can't”. Either way you are right. It is your reality, your experience, your results. You create your experience through the channel you are focusing in on, so if you don’t like what you are experiencing change the channel. Easier said than done so I have some tips to help you take control of your thoughts and allow the success with ease and grace in your life.

Shift Your Perception Tools
1) If you find yourself in worry, doubt and fear ask yourself What opportunities are available to me now?
2) Be present in the now by babysitting a young infant or monitoring your own breath
3) Express enjoyment of life as a daily practice. Get excited about the tiniest things.
4) Intentionally send love and appreciation with your eyes to everyone you see.
5) Write a daily gratitude list (add one new thing daily)
6) When you notice your thoughts shifting to the absence lovingly switch the channel in your mind back to the presence
7) Accept that you are exactly where you are supposed to be

You will find that as you practice these tools it will be as if you got a new prescription for your eyes that allow you to see things clearly. All of a sudden you live in a world with possibilities everywhere. An abundance of career opportunities, great new relationships and an abundance of cash flow pouring into you from known and unknown sources.
