Attract Abundance - How to push past your comfort zones to focus on activities that provide you with long term satisfaction or enjoyment, as opposed to those that give you short term pleasure but, often cause you to feel slightly empty afterwards?
Within the past 10 months I've been incredibly centered on personal and spiritual growth. I am proud to convey that in most areas I have made massive strides. I am happier than I've ever been. I do not mean crazy, jump up for joy happy (even though I am occasionally). I am talking about peaceful happiness - the sort that gives you a actually satisfied glow.
Something that has been really successfully in improving my pleasure on a regular basis has been listening to myself a lot more. I had never truly consciously 'listened' to me before and had genuinely funny images of inner debates when I initially first heard this term. In reality it is a quite simple process. If you really feel excellent, you're probably heading in the right direction. If you feel bad, you almost certainly want to stop what you're doing and have a re-think. At the time I first began with this particular technique, a pal suggested to take stock of what portion of your body good and bad (or positive and negative) emotions came from. This will make it easier to identify.

So, it's quite a effortless process to live by. Whether it feels great, do it now. If it feels bad, do not do it now. Following this concept I have been far happier and have been making much better decisions about where I would like to go in life and the way I wish to get it done. Abraham-Hicks calls this method your emotional guidance system. Another great benefit is it truly makes you far more alert to what is going on near you and your responses to everyday circumstances.
It had been in the light of this heightened awareness I identified a pattern of habits I believe has been holding me back for years - default living. This is something that most of us do and involves us just living our lives on auto-pilot. Although I found the majority of aspects of default living simple to stop the thing I had probably the most problem with was the short term pleasures which go with it. One of my worst type of default living pleasures is really reading trashy novels. Additional examples are watching television and spending hours of your free time on facebook, youtube as well as twitter.
Don't misunderstand me there is actually nothing wrong with one of these pleasures, television may help you take it easy and inform you, facebook, youtube and also twitter may be excellent creative and networking opportunities. The questions to ask yourself are... just how much of time are default pleasures taking up? To what extent could they be holding me back from accomplishing my passions?

After the exercise it's your choice whether or not the activities are a positive force in your life or if they are holding you back from positive growth.
