Gratitude and faith are the foundational elements for abundance.

Gratitude and faith are the foundational elements for abundance.

I used to believe that if I didn't worry or stress out about my goals, then I'd never reach them. That if I was content where I was, I would become complacent, settle, and never actually reach my potential.

I was trying to do everything on my own and attempting to control every detail. I felt like I was running on a treadmill - working hard but not getting anywhere. I had no clue I was actually blocking myself from abundance.

When I started shifting my mindset, the first thing I did was incorporate a gratitude practice. I'd write out all the things I was grateful for in the past, the present, and the things I desired in my future.

Then, I'd pray and surrender all of it as an active way to practice having faith that God's got me because I fully believe that what He has in store for me is always WAY better than what I come up with.

This was such a foundational step in making some major shifts in my life. Now, I feel like I get to experience little miracles throughout my day as a result. I've reached some major goals and I fully believe I'll reach the ones in my heart now too.

You're so capable of experiencing wild abundance in your life in all kinds of beautiful ways. As you start this week, I encourage you to approach it with gratitude and faith. It's game-changing.
