Abundance Challenge Diary by Ann

[Erika Awakening]

Ann, I just converted the 200,000 pounds and that is almost $314,000! I think you may qualify for the biggest miracle yet, and it's kind of a "sleeper" because of how it happened but I would definitely still count it.

Ooh yes, I didn't think of what the dollar amount might be! Looks even better with those figures!

Today I started with videos 9 and 10 around income and wealth comfort zones and I really am seeing and feeling how me not being wealthy actually does harm as opposed to the good I can do when I have plenty of money.

For example: my brother's wealth has made the house purchase so much easier and less complicated and has certainly given me a nice bank balance for a few weeks!

What also popped up was gratitude - we had a very dry spring in the UK so the reservoirs were very low and we had a hosepipe ban and then in April it just rained and rained (5 inches of rain in ten days in my back garden). You would think the water companies would be happy but no: the just went on about how the reservoirs may look full but the underground stores of water are still critical! Now that really did demonstrate lack and, now of course it has stopped raining and we have had a heatwave; it's as if nature is fed up that all its abundance of rain was unappreciated so it decided to do the opposite. A good lesson to learn in terms of saying 'thank you' for what you receive.

Ann,

That's a really powerful connection you made between the water authority's scarcity consciousness and what happened with the weather. Our consciousness IS that powerful, and all of the "conservation" efforts on this planet are potentially harmful for exactly that reason. This is why it's so important to get a critical mass of the planet using the Abundance Challenge so that we can change the consciousness and create a new global reality.

I'm still hearing some reluctance on your part (tell me if I'm wrong) to really owning this miracle. From what you've said, your brother is giving you this money in recognition of you caring for your mother. That makes it YOUR money and your miracle. If there is any resistance to really owning that, be sure to tap it. it's really important to clear any part of you that still feels undeserving or in any other way resistant to saying, "yes, this is my $314,000 miracle and I deserve it." See what I mean?

[Erika Awakening]

Recently, I've been more and more into recycling whatever I can, more conscious of it. I'm also careful about the consciousness behind it. To me, it does not reflect "conservation" because I have faith that miracles can solve every supposed "shortage" that we have. Right now it's just fitting in more with my commitment to keeping my home and everything else in my life (which includes the planet) clutter-free. If they can turn my used bottles into new bottles, that's more simplicity and less clutter. The consciousness with which we do anything is so important.

Hi Erika, the current money is a loan to ensure we can buy the new house without having to co-ordinate the sale of both our existing houses. However, I will inherit my mum's share of the new house as my brothers decided that it was the right thing to do because I am taking on the main responsibility for looking after her: so yes, I need to remember that I did indeed manifest that: I didn't know that would be the result of my decision to have her buy a house with me, it was something my brothers decided to do.

And like you I am into recycling as I love the synergy of it - rather a 'circle of life' type of thing! Mind you it is very different from the 'make do and mend' attitude of my parents generation and my mum has 40+ years of accumulated stuff in her house, most of which has not been used!

Okay thanks for clarifying. Yes, to me this is a classic HBR result. What you did is negotiated a win/win/win of the entire situation. Your mom wins because she gets to live with you, your brother wins because you offered a solution for the care of your mother, and you win because you will end up with much-deserved financial abundance and you have the peace of mind of a real solution for caring for your mother. Everyone wins! And that's an awesome miracle

Yes, it really is a win, win, win, win as I hadn't realised how worried my brothers had been about my mum so they are really relieved that I will be taking on the biggest chunk of responsibility for her care.

Today started with Video 12 on giving and receiving: I'm getting much better at receiving (!) yet am still reluctant to tell people about what I do and demonstrate how I can help them. Time now to stop playing so small and getting myself out there.

Seemed right to go straight onto video 13 to keep reminding myself that miracles show up in surprising way as I have already demonstrated and all I have to do is remember how it has happened with my mum and the house and keep believing that it is all on its way. My ego is playing up this morning around having all this money in my account and having to use it soon, so 'it's not yours'. Yuck, ego is so ungrateful!! I'm going to be thankful for it. Aha moment: when I was five years old I started school: it was really boring so I told my mum thanks, but I'll stay at home: of course then I learned that I had no choice but to go to school until I was 16 years and I really hated it. In fact, only once I knew I could leave did I decide to stay (because my brothers were both at university and I saw that they got really long holidays!) No wonder I am suspicious of surprises and it has take me all this time to realise why!

My intuition then told me to do video 2 of MYBM - about making sales calls. I actually felt really sick and then constricted in my throat: sales calls to me = conflict and rejection, so no wonder I hate them and I really hate receiving them when they are just reading from a script. Having clients come to me effortlessly as Erika described (and I know Dianne has experienced) is the most amazing vision.

Followed this with video 3 about raising rates: I am happy to pay for valuable stuff and so want to value what I do just as much, especially after the investment I have made in my training over the past ten years. All the time though I keep hearing people looking for bargains or bragging about how they got something 'really cheap'. It's driving me nuts!

Hey Ann,

I'm glad to see you went back to Magnify Your Business Magnetism (for those who don't have it, I urge you to get it at http://tapsmarter.com/magnify-business-magnetism), because I was going to suggest that!

I was talking to Dianne about this recently. That Magnify product is a "sleeper." I didn't really notice how profoundly it had shifted my business until I reconstructed the timing of recording it a few weeks ago. I recorded it right in the holiday period at the end of November and into December. Not only did I close out 2011 with a strong finish, but also by about the first week of January 2012, I had been contacted by two of my ideal clients who now are both long-term clients. As a result, January ended up being my highest income month by far in this business (until this month lol, which has already surpassed January by quite a bit).

Magnify Your Business Magnetism is a POWERFUL product for anyone who is in the coaching or client sales business, and I really urge everyone here to get it.

Perfect synchronicity Erika from thousands of miles away - another miracle!

And more miracles: a friend came over to see me today and brought some curtains for my new house (really good quality ones). She didn't know that the owners would not be leaving the curtains, so that was great and then, when I mentioned we would buy new bedroom furniture for my mum, she said she and her husband are going to replace theirs and would send me a photo of it to see if I wanted it. I know it will be excellent quality as they always buy good stuff and said I would be happy to pay her for it. It is so funny as she had no idea that these things were what I was looking for, but the universe delivered again!

Hey Ann, Yeah bask in the feeling of that 200,000 (pounds right?) in your account. I'm assuming it's now going to purchase the house for you and your mom, still it's very helpful to get comfortable with these larger amounts of money. It becomes easier to manifest them when they feel "normal" to us.

Yes, indeed it is pounds and half the money for the house so that it's not all in one place! I've never had a bank balance like it and it will be in there for a couple of weeks at least, so I think I will regularly look at my balance and bask in the feeling of abundance

Congratulations Ann! I can't wait to be able to look at bank account balance like that also.
