You have to find a way of feeling the essence of what you desire before the details of that desire can come to you. In other words, you have to begin to feel more prosperous before more prosperity can come.

Getting stuck in current situation and feelings is a barrier to achieving your goals and dreams.

But even small shifts in thinking and emotion can move you toward the future state you desire.

Slowly we move our feeling state toward the goal – abundance, prosperity, achievement, fulfillment. By feeling it before it becomes reality. So that it can become reality.

Here are 3 steps to take toward living your dream for the future instead of worrying about and staying stuck in your present:

1. Imagine what you want. Get detailed about it, what does it look like? Sound like? Smell like? Feel like? Imagine yourself in it, enjoying it, living it.

2. Get out of your head. Get into a different zone. For some they get into the zone through exercise. For others, it’s reading. Or art. Or some other creative endeavor. Some turn to music. Whatever it is that takes you out of obsessing and overthinking, spend time doing that.

3. Practice gratitude. Gratitude is the art of finding the positive NOW, not later. It turns your attention from scarcity and lack (worry, obsession, anxiety) to abundance and enjoyment. Name 3 things every day that you are grateful for. It may be hard in the beginning, but find just a few things, even if they’re basic: having food and water, a bed to sleep in, people to love and be loved by.
