7 Prosperity Tips

7 Ways to Supercharge Your Prosperity

Have you decided that you are ready to be more successful and prosperous than ever before? It sounds like a silly question, but many of us close ourselves off to the prosperity that is possible. If you’re tired of holding back and know that you are capable of experiencing more, bravo! There’s no better time to step into your brilliance than NOW.

Here are seven ways to start supercharging your prosperity using your intuition:

1. Really want it – It all starts with desire. Be clear about what you truly want more of. Honor the prosperity levels you wish to create by including them in your meditations, intentions and visualizations.

2. Believe you deserve it – Doubt creates a roadblock. You were born to experience prosperity in every area of your life. Regardless of what your life looks and feels like right now, you are just as valuable and deserving as any other person. Let go of the wanting and notice the difference to be int he experience of having it. Remember the sub-conscious can’t tell the difference between what is real and imagined!

3. Imagine it – The more you can describe your dream with all the senses, the more vivid, inspiring and energizing it will be for you. It becomes your target and your fuel.

4. Clear the path – Let your roadblocks go. Negative or limiting thoughts and beliefs close you off from abundance and prosperity. Start with where you are!

5. Breathe – When you stop to breathe deeply, you bring yourself into the present and can then tap into your intuition to guide you.

6. Connect – With yourself and with others who support and inspire you. Go in the direction that your energy inspires you to go, even if your mind doesn’t understand exactly why yet.

7. Commit – To being open, to trusting your intuition, to taking action, and to keep going. Whether in your personal life or in your work, abundance and prosperity is there, waiting for you to embrace, accept, and step into it. My work and joy is to see that unfolding – and my sincere wish for you is that you take the first step in supercharging your prosperity today! Here’s to your ongoing prosperity and success here NOW!

The common link to intuition and happiness

by Cheryl Brewster

Have you noticed that when you are inspired, you are happy? And even if things aren’t going great, that inspiration will lift you up and out of those heavy feelings?

When we’re inspired, we’re trusting that everything is okay and that there is something beautiful and wondrous about life. Taking that higher place of vibration even one step further, being enthusiastic is an even great level of inspiration because it usually leads to action.  As Thoreau urged us, “Go confidently in the direction of your dreams, live the life you’ve imagined.”

Because intuition can only ever be available in the present moment, and inspiration keeps us here now, being inspired is one of the most effective tools we can use to anchor into our intuitive knowingness. So the call to action in this blog today, is to know what inspires you and to consistently, deliberately choose to be inspired.  The self discipline originally required becomes a habit and that’s where all GREAT things begin… it’s the maintenance that we begin to take for granted.  And it’s that slippery slide into “stinkin’ thinkin” that can soon be upon us.

So to stay present and inspired… let’s review today’s tips to help get you back into the positive, happy side of life!  Sounds silly to even say it out loud… it seems so obvious… until it’s not and we find ourselves feeling disconnected.

Today’s action:

1. Live simply
2. Tell the truth
3. Behave as if you were inspired
4. Trust that the universe is conspiring to support you
5. Let go of the past….
6. Embrace the silent, inner pulse of life carrying you… and let it!

The Quest for Happiness

by Cheryl Brewster

I have found that the authentic life is a simple life; that awakening into deeper truth, authenticity and simplicity is more about dropping things than it is about gaining them.  The desire to connect even more, from this deepest, most authentic part of my heart is what has emerged over the last year. It comes with a high price and yet no price at all, because the letting go while at first glance seems painful, is in reality the letting go of pain. The price that appears so high in the beginning, cannot compare to the value of what is received or restored.

My attempts to explain my experience are summed up best by one of my favorite authors, Anthony de Mello from his book on Awareness… take a look at what he says here about Happiness:

“Do you want to be happy? Uninterrupted happiness is uncaused. True happiness is uncaused. You cannot make me happy. You are not my happiness. You say to the awakened person, “Why are you happy”? and the awakened person replies, “Why not”? Happiness is our natural state. Happiness is the natural state of little children, to whom the kingdom belongs until they have been polluted and contaminated by the stupidity of society and culture. To acquire happiness you don’t have to do anything, because happiness cannot be acquired. Does anybody know why?

Because we have it already. How can you acquire what you already have? Then why don’t you experience it? Because you’ve got to drop something. You’ve got to drop illusions. You don’t have to add anything in order to be happy; you’ve got to drop something. Life is easy, life is delightful. It’s only hard on your illusions, your ambitions, your greed, your cravings. Do you know where these things come from? From having identified with all kinds of labels!“

What labels do you have in your life that are not contributing to your happiness? They could be a certain outlook, expectation, assumption, habit, any number of things.  The bottom line is, by dropping this dead weight, happiness emerges. And nothing is more inspiring or contagious than happiness! 

In my intuitive mentorship programs, I stress the importance of the ABC’s of Intuition; become AWARE of the inner wisdom inside, BREATHE it in, and CONNECT to the heart… the same is true of happiness because it’s already here… the power of imagination and enthusiasm expands it even more. So when something challenging or difficult comes up, I encourage the habit of asking the question “What would happiness do in this moment?” The question is brilliant because it surfaces illusions which are in fact delusions to let go of. Try it, you’ll like it! The more I practice this, the easier and more juicy it becomes.

Simple. Authentic. Happy. Awakened.
That easy, that profound, that Wow!

How to get unstuck

by Cheryl Brewster

Ever have those days when no matter how present you try to stay, you just CAN’T! Any attempts to be focused, positive, effective and grounded end up being more frustrating than ever?! Try this: In the midst of what you’re struggling with, ask yourself, “what inspires me in this moment?” It might take a while for the question to settle, but when it does, the results are immediate…. you instantly go to the present and find it easier to stay there. Discipline becomes easy… because it’s inspired and doesn’t remain a discipline… it becomes habit. Try it, for a day, a week, and see what happens!

The greatest wealth of all – to know and own one’s self

by Cheryl Brewster

“To give oneself has no meaning unless one possesses oneself. You can give only what you have.”- Albert Camus

This quote reminds me of the power of self love…. we all want to give our best to the world but if our inner critic is having a field day, then we’re not really owning ourselves and our meaning. I find it amazing in my own life and in my clients’ lives that when we come across uncertainty, we can revert to the automatic flight or fight response…. catching ourselves and coming back to the awareness is the process of continued intuitive expansion – letting go of what no longer works, or has outgrown itself. It’s a good thing. May not always feel that way, but it is a good thing. With greater ease, we remember that we can do this, are doing this, as we allow ourselves to find meaning in the midst of uncertainty. Napoleon Hill said that every challenge, obstacle and heartache has an equal or greater benefit. I love that! I’ve always recognized that when I take the time out to really look for the possibility of that benefit, even when it doesn’t feel that way, that I am assigning myself a Meaningful Life…..

The quest for happiness will always be found in the present moment, the only point of power there is.
