It’s tax season and I’m sure many of you are focusing quite a bit on money. Money talk can bring up many feelings for people — stress, anxiety, excitement, greed, guilt, joy, and more. At the end of the day, I think we’d all like to develop a healthier relationship with money (myself included).

This month, let’s focus on developing an abundance mindset.

Today on the blog, I wanted to share a few simple tips I utilize to bring more abundance into my life:

I have a gratitude journal practice

Each morning, I write down one to three things I’m grateful for, which helps open up space to attract more abundance (instead of coming from a lack mindset i.e. “I don’t have enough”).

I Carry an Infinity Symbol with Me in My Wallet:

My dear friend Cathy Ripley Greene taught me this trick: Draw an infinity symbol on a small piece of paper, and stash it in your wallet where you keep your money. Also, be mindful of keeping your wallet/purse clean, only with things that bring good energy (i.e. no loose change, old receipts, trash, etc.)

I Say “Thank You” When Money Comes in

In the midst of everyone talking about New Year’s resolutions, goals and accomplishments, I’m much more concerned about how you want to feel, and just as importantly — why?

In fact, before you even think about crafting your vision board or vowing to go to the gym X times a week, I think it’s crucial to get crystal clear on how you want to feel first.

For me, 2019 was all about living in the flow. Here’s what I posted on my instagram last January:

“This year, my intention is for things to flow more freely — money, new friendships, this beautiful life as a new mama. Yes, there will be work to do (because #GirlBoss) but things don’t have to be ‘hard.'”

Reflecting back on my past year, I’d say I definitely felt in the flow. Things felt easier, I didn’t try so darn hard and I was happy with a simpler life. That doesn’t mean it was boring; I simply embraced a life without the hustle.

Fall brings lots of action — from kid’s sporting events to new business opportunities — and you’re likely meeting lots of new faces along the way. Some of these connections you’ll naturally “vibe” with, while other relationships may feel a little icky or not right (and that’s OK too, BTW).

I challenge you to open yourself up to receiving the kind of relationships that will be a good fit for you, lift you up and help you grow.

Here are some practical tips for creating meaningful connections:

Join a New Group

If you’re craving connection, one of the best places to start is your local community! I recommend joining a networking group, moms club or business meetup.

While it can be a little nerve-wracking being the “new kid on the block,” it’s exciting to mingle with new people. Plus, I’ll bet you everyone else felt just as awkward as you do their first time.

Spark Your Creativity

Consider signing up for a class that sparks your creativity like painting, photography or jewelry-making.

You’ll ignite your inner artist, have a little fun, and meet other like-minded folks you can hang with outside the classroom.
