Abundance

English

Lesson 1

Day 1: We Are Made For Ease

Our natural state is one of simplicity and ease. When you go about your day, you can begin to notice how effortlessly you complete certain tasks and make decisions.

Lesson 2

Day 2: We Are Always In The Present Moment

Even when we are listening to thoughts about the past or imagining the future, we are still always in the present moment. It isn't something we need to "work at." It's where we are all the time.

Lesson 3

Day 3: We Can Envision Anything And Everything

Human beings have a remarkable skill that we take for granted because it's so natural and easy: being able to envision basically anything and then go and create it.

Lesson 4

Day 4: We Are Infinitely Creative

We often think of the word "creative" as applying only to certain people, perhaps those in so-called "creative" fields. But what if creativity is innate and is available to all of us, all the time?

Lesson 5

Day 5: Capability Is Limitless

When we need an answer to something like a challenge or problem, our limitless capability presents us with choices -- without effort. We don't have to work at having answers; they simply show up.

Lesson 6

Day 6: Courage Is Innate

We often hear that we need to build up our courage, or that some people are more courageous than others. What if courage is infinite and innate, and ultimately available anytime we need it?

Lesson 7

Day 7: We Have All The Confidence We Need

Just like with courage, we don't need to work on building our confidence. Confidence is innate and ready to support us. At the same time, we don't have to wait for confidence to show up in order to do something new, for example.

Lesson 8

Day 8: We Are Already Connected

We are already connected to one another. If we feel inspired to reach out to someone and we also feel nervous about it, we don't need to worry because the connection to them is already there.

Lesson 9

Day 9: We're Allowed To Act From Inspiration, Not Desperation

We are never obligated to act from a sense of desperation. In those moments, it's our right to stop and wait, if we choose, to see another option in front of us.

Lesson 10

Day 10: We Are Always In The Flow

Although sometimes it can feel like we're no longer in the flow, there is really nowhere else we can be. That's simply a temporary sensation, and we can relax back into the truth: we are always in the flow.

Lesson 11

Day 11: Change Can Happen Without So Much Effort -- And Fast

We often think of "change" as being difficult, arduous, strenuous. What if that isn't the case at all? What if even rapid change can happen without effort?

Lesson 12

Day 12: Relax Amidst Confusion

With the prospect of change often comes a sense of chaos and confusion. Instead of seeing that state as a negative, we can see it as simply part of the process -- and we can relax into the confusion instead of fighting it.

Lesson 13

Day 13: Wake Up In A New Reality

We we go through some sort of change or transformation, it's truly as if we are waking up in a new reality. The old reality isn't there anymore; we cannot return to it.

Lesson 14

Day 14: We Don't Need To Try To Control Our Feelings

We spend a lot of time trying to control and manage our feelings/emotions. What if we don't have to do that at all -- especially in regards to fear, which is such a common human feeling?

Lesson 15

Day 15: We Can Break This Pattern

There is a particular pattern that human beings exhibit that can be broken quite easily, once we become aware of it. Once we recognize that change is our natural state, we don't need to try to go in reverse.

Lesson 16

Day 16: It's Never Either/Or

Sometimes, we can have the sense that there are only two options for us to choose from: it's either this, or it's that, and that's all. Whenever it looks that way, we know we're missing something.

Lesson 17

Day 17: What If Limits Don't Exist?

We tend to see our lives as rather static, rather than recognizing the limitless opportunities available in every moment. We don't have to do anything the same way we did it yesterday.

Lesson 18

Day 18: Reflection Point

We often evaluate ourselves in terms of what we haven't achieved. It's not often that we reflect on what we have learned, accomplished, discovered. We also assume that "measurement" is real, when in fact, it is an illusion.

Lesson 19

Day 19: A Way To Reclaim Our Time

The topic of time management is a big one in our culture. But what if we can free up a lot of time by making one simple shift in how we live -- by not worrying about or managing our emotions?

Lesson 20

Day 20: Is It Hope Or Something Else?

Hope can be an emotion that we want to hold on to, depending on our current circumstances. But is there something alive within us beyond hope -- that we have labeled as "hope"?

Lesson 21

Day 21: Looking Inward

When we have a frantic feeling, like we have to have an answer right this very minute, we are allowed to pause and look within. We can wait for a new idea to occur to us.

Lesson 22

Day 22: Looking Outward

If looking inward is where the answers are, then when is it helpful -- if ever -- to look outward? There's a clue to when looking outward is actually the answer we're looking for.

Lesson 23

Day 23: Is "Trust" A Waste Of Time?

There is a lot of discussion around the benefits of trusting ourselves. But what if trying to cultivate trust is, well, a waste of time? What if trust -- just like confidence, courage and so on -- is something we don't have to develop at all?

Lesson 24

Day 24: All About Action

In our culture, there is quite a bit of discussion about taking "massive imperfect action." But is that actually helpful, or is there another way to see -- and experience -- action that is much simpler?

Lesson 25

Day 25: We Are Allowed To Stop And Wait

It's important to remind ourselves, in this fast-paced world, that we have permission to stop and wait. There is no hurry, even when it looks like there is.

Lesson 26

Day 26: Untangling Ourselves From Doubt

We can often get tangled up in the world of "shoulds, coulds, buts, ifs" and so on. In other words, doubt can seem like a cloud we cannot escape from. Is there a simple way out of doubt?

Lesson 27

Day 27: We Have Permission

Do we really have permission to live the life we truly want to live? With the power that is running through us all the time, we are free of constraints. If everyone in the world were allowed to live more from this natural state, things could change quickly for the better.

Lesson 28

Day 28: Ease Is Our Natural State

If things look confusing or overwhelming, or as if the answer seems hidden from view, remember that ease is our natural state. The solutions to every challenge are waiting for us. All we have to do is pause and wait for them to appear.

Really wonderful. These brief 28 day reflections made February (a cold and dark month where I live) a bit warmer and more centered. Grateful.

An excellent course. My biggest takeaway is that fear is just a feeling that’s there to bring diversity to my human experience. It’s not an omen or a sign of bad things to come, as I’ve always believed it was.
