The rising costs of gas, food and everything else is having a negative affect on many peoples state of mind these days. Do you find yourself in that situation?.
High prices can definitely affect much more than our wallets, they can also influence our overall attitude and mindset. Negative thoughts and feelings about money can easily rob us of our sense of joy and happiness, which puts us in the grip of negativity. It becomes like a big dark cloud blocking out our light. When we allow this to happen, realize it or not, we have given our power to negativity.
.
Negative feelings prevent us from being a truly happy, loving, and abundant person. Abundance and lack cannot coexist. One or the other will always prevail.
.
Take a minute and focus on the words, positive, happy, loving, abundant. Those are good words aren’t they? They give us a positive and optimistic feeling. That good feeling represents the way we truly want to be, our natural positive and loving state.
.
We actually block our ability to attract abundance into our lives when we hold the feeling that we lack money or any other resource. When we are confronted with high prices at the check out stand or gas pump, it puts us in touch with these negative feelings.
.
Here’s how we can use these situations as an opportunity to raise our awareness and initiate a quantum shift from a mindset of lack to one of abundance.
.
The next time you find yourself in this kind of situation take a moment to notice if you are upset about high prices. If so then you are in a mindset that is focused on lack. Our mind is only creative. It tries to create whatever we focus our attention on. If we hold in mind that prices are too high and we cannot afford it, our mind will immediately go to work to make that our reality.
.
When we don’t like something that means that we disapprove of it. By disapproving, we are sending negative energy to a situation we already see as negative. When we disapprove of anything or anyone we are feeding our consciousness with additional negative energy and compounding the problem.
.
When we make a decision and let go of the negativity and disapproval, we are releasing that negative energy from our consciousness. The next step is to project positive energy and approval into that situation, effectively replacing the negative with positive.
.
Granted, this shift in mindset won’t cause prices to come down, in fact they may even go up. What it will do is prevent external forces from having a negative influence on our sense of joy and abundance. When we operate from abundance we attract abundance into our life and free ourselves from the grip of negativity.

I was just talking about this idea, about what you focus on expands, today with a friend. I’ve learned from personal experience that what I give my attention to impacts my consciousness and correspondingly, affects my experience. I am choosing to focus on being grateful for having the ability to pay for the gas and anything else I can find to keep me in a positive mindset. I have experienced that when I am grateful, I find even more things to feel grateful for! This is one way I use intention to continue to attract abundance and what I desire, instead of negativity and fear.
