How To Remove The Rules That Are Limiting Your Abundance

By Eric Johnson

We live with many rules about how we should feel. When we believe we have to feel a certain way given our circumstances, we are enslaved to our emotions. If we are stuck in traffic we think we should feel angry and anxious, so we do. If a loved one is sick we think we should feel worried and afraid. If it's cloudy outside, we think we have to feel bad.

But these rules about when we can be happy and what we need in order to be happy are not rules of the universe. People who do not know any better program these rules into us, and these rules interfere with our happiness. We can, however, change these programmed rules. The first step is to recognize that these rules about happiness are not real rules. Then we can decide to be happy.

It is the accumulation of all these incoming instructive messages that we call programming, much like each channel on your television carries specific programming. Over the many years you've been alive these various messages have been imprinted into your subconscious mind, and this programming controls the wheel and drives you through much of your day. Your subconscious mind initially held onto each of these signals as a means to protect you, but these beliefs will not serve you as you seek prosperity. They will only hold you back.

Unfortunately, not all our limiting beliefs and feelings go away when they are no longer needed. Because these fears and negative emotions block us from abundance, it is important to rid ourselves of them. We resist abundance because part of our mind believes it's unsafe or not right for us to have it. When we clear our limiting beliefs we begin to believe that we deserve abundance; then we attract abundance to our lives.

There are techniques that help us to change our energy by changing the programmed rules that prevent us from experiencing prosperity and joy.

Gratitude List

An easy and fun way to shift your energy out of limiting beliefs and into powerful positive manifestations is by writing gratitude lists. Remember, what you think about you bring about, and if you're focused on the problems or potential pitfalls of a situation that's all you'll find. So instead of spending another moment bemoaning the deficiencies in your relationship (with a person, a great job, money, etc.) instead make a list of all the things that are going right, things that you are thankful for. Look around. Did your spouse take out the garbage last night? Be grateful and put it on the list. Did your teenager call when they said they would and come home on time? Put it on your list. By listing all the things in your life that are going right you automatically shift your energy to the positive. You'll start to feel better and have a brighter outlook.

Emotional Freedom Technique

Emotional Freedom Technique, or EFT, is an energy modality based on acupuncture. Chinese medicine practitioners have been using acupuncture for thousands of years to increase the flow of energy through the body. Energy flows through the body along pathways called meridians. When the meridians are blocked we are out of balance, which is a state of illness or disease. Our natural, balanced state is health, wellbeing, and happiness. EFT frees us from programmed limitations and helps us restore our natural state of joy, balance, and flow.

EFT chips away at the limiting beliefs and exposes the underlying abundance and joy. Underneath we find our true self, which is happy, joyful, healthy, and loving. Freed from limiting beliefs, our true self enjoys prosperity.

Gratitude lists and EFT are two ways of changing your energy to eliminate programmed limitations and attract abundance to your life. - 31877
