Abundance From the Inside

For the last 2 months I have been leading a tele-course on changing your relationship with money. We've been playing with money stories and last week I gave some feedback to a few of the participants on this subject. One of my LifeWorks team mates suggested I post this to my blog. I thought that was a great idea, so here you have it.

Feeling abundant has nothing to do with your bank account. If we have money there, we might get a false sense of relief or o.k.ness or you fear that you can't create it again or never feel like whatever is there is enough. Then there are the people who have money, but in their mind they are poor. The trick is to not outsource your abundance to what the bank account says, or to what you wish it would say, but to connect in with a deeper knowing that you are o.k. in this moment and the next and the next. Throughout our lives our bank statement will go up and down, true abundance is knowing your o.k. no matter what.

As many of you know I love Tennis. Recently I was watching the U.S. Open and I heard some of the announcers say that the mark of a true champion is that you can't tell by watching them if they are up or down in a match, their play is the same (their best game) no matter what the score is. WONDER QUESTION ALERT. I wonder how I could play full out no matter what my bank account says? Try it on. Let me know what happens.

SACRED DOG PRACTICES

I've not been blogging as of late with my travels and new products I'm playing with. This is just a quick check in to let you know I'm still here. I plan to be more regular as of my return to SLC after Nov 10th.
Recently one of my students sent me this story about an old dog that was being put down and there was a little blurb about how we humans might learn something from our furry friends. I'm currently exploring the lie on my back routine and I rather enjoy it.

Remember, if a dog was the teacher you would learn things like:

When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.
Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure Ecstasy.
Take naps.
Stretch before rising.
Run, romp, and play daily.
Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.
On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.
When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
Be loyal.
Never pretend to be something you're not.
If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle Them gently.
ENJOY EVERY MOMENT OF EVERY DAY!

I'll be posting next week, until then I suggest taking on one of the "Dog Practices" and let me know how it goes.
