We’re all aware that we are in a down economic cycle. And if you have enough life experience, you probably know that the economy is cyclical (like everything in life). This isn’t the first economic down cycle I’ve experienced, and it surely won’t be the last.

But what do you do from a Law of Attraction standpoint with all the doomsday news going on around you? Here are some tips:

1) Keep informed if you’d like, but do not inundate yourself with information. If you hear it enough times, you will actually start to believe that no one will thrive in this economy --- yet, that is simply not factually true.

2) Every time you see this doomsday evidence, correct the thought in your mind with something truthful and positive that’s the opposite of the news you’re hearing.

For instance, if you hear, “Things are going to get a lot worse before they get better,” choose a thought like, “There are billions of people in the world. I only need to attract 20 clients into my life at any given time who can afford my services. Easy!”

3) Remind yourself that your happiness does not come from external conditions. It comes from deep down inside of you. Even if you lose your job, home or some other external part of your life, you do NOT have to let it ruin your life. Embrace whatever comes your way and let your life take you where you want to go.

4) Find gratitude in every experience you have. Whether it’s a learning experience, the chance to really put your spiritual bliss to the test and prove your happiness comes from a deeper place, or just the chance to gain empathy for others, there is something to be grateful for in every experience we have.

5) Do not let economic news create doubt in your mind. Continue to put all of your attention on achieving your goals as if it is a given they will manifest. Does a downturn in the stock market mean you don’t get to live the life you dreamed of? Somebody’s script will be bought, somebody’s coaching practice will thrive, somebody’s products will sell. … might as well be yours! Assume it will be yours and keep going forward. Keep your attention on what you want and what you like.

6) Take daily steps to feel abundant. Here are some ideas: Do something nice for yourself, plan how you will invest that money when it arrives, test drive the car you want, take financially responsible action, develop a future budget that you will implement when your income increase to your target level.

Make plans as if it’s a given the money will arrive. And for goodness sake, don’t spend money you don’t have. You must take in more money than goes out … if you don’t do this, you cannot create wealth consciousness. Your sponsoring thought will continue to be worry.

7) If your budget falls short, look at ways of evening it up. There are only two ways to do this: cut back on spending, or bring in more money. There are lots of ways to bring in another income stream. You could start a direct selling business. Or you could get a second job. You could call your creditors and ask them to lower your interest rates. You can make sure your withholding is appropriate so you’re not overpaying Uncle Sam all year.

8) Through life’s greatest changes and transitions come life’s greatest opportunities. Embrace what comes your way, and let the universe take you where you want to go. A few years ago, I was laid off. It was the best thing that ever happened to me. I was given a little push to do what I’d always wanted – become a writer and find deeper meaning in my life. Out of that came a thriving freelance writing career, abundant book editing work, an audio book, a coaching practice and a budding additional career as a singer/songwriter. Wow! All from one layoff. I’m so grateful!

Economic conditions do not have to affect your mindset, beliefs or your personal happiness. Use these tips and you’ll continue to feel abundant — a key to attracting more abundance into your life.
