Planting the Seeds of Generosity | by Madisyn Taylor The most difficult time to be generous is when we ourselves are feeling poor. While some of us have experienced actually being in the red financially, there are those of us who would feel broke even if we had a million dollars in the bank. Either way, as the old adage goes, it is always in giving that we receive. Meaning that when we are living in a state of lack, the very gesture we may least want to give is the very act that could help us create the abundance that we seek. One way to practice generosity is to give energy where it is needed. Giving money to a cause or person in need is one way to give energy. Giving attention, love, or a smile to another person are other acts of giving that we can offer. After all, there are people all over the world that are hungry for love. Sometimes when we practice generosity, we practice it conditionally. We might be expecting to "receive back" from the person to whom we gave. We might even become angry or resentful if that person doesn't reciprocate. However, trust in the natural flow of energy, and you will find yourself practicing generosity with no strings attached. This is the purest form of giving. Remember that what you send out will always come back you. Selflessly help a friend in need without expecting them to return the same favor in the same way, and know that you, too, will receive that support from the universe when you need it. Besides, while giving conditionally creates stress (because we are waiting with an invisible balance sheet to receive our due), giving unconditionally creates and generates abundance. We give freely, because we trust that there is always an unlimited supply. Being aware of how much we are always supported by the universe is one of the keys to abundance and generosity. Consciously remember the times you've received support from expected and unexpected sources. Remember anyone who has helped you when you've needed it most, and bless all situations that come into your life for the lessons and gifts they bring you. Remember that all things given and received emanate from generosity. Giving is an act of gratitude. Plant the seeds of generosity through your acts of giving, and you will grow the fruits of abundance for yourself and those around you. | DailyOM Course Spotlight by Erika Flint Are you noticing that you're relying on food or alcohol to help you unwind at the end of your day? What if I told you there was another way that didn't involve drinking alcohol, eating food, or even attending a traditional happy hour? And that it would not only help you to unwind and feel good but also help you lose weight, sleep better, and feel better about everything in your life? I'm Erika Flint, a best-selling author and award-winning hypnotist, and once I learned the art of hypnosis and how it could help me, I stopped relying on happy hour after work to unwind. I stopped buying the fattening food at the grocery store to feel better after a stressful day at work. What I didn't expect was that my sleep improved, I stopped overeating in general, and I felt like I had more time because I had more energy and mental clarity. This is what this course is all about - showing you how to unwind, improve your health, enjoy every day of your life (not just the weekends) and have more quality time by learning to harness the power of hypnosis. Imagine coming home from a stressful day at work, and feeling better in as little as 12 minutes. Feeling more relaxed, more focused, and happier - not from that beer or glass of wine, or that pint of ice cream - but from powerful hypnosis. Start living an optimized life now.
