Is a Hidden Fear of Boredom Stalling Your Manifestation of Abundance?

[Balbrae]

During today's visualization exercise, I came across a thought: no matter how abundant your life is, you still have to keep moving forward and expanding. Imagine, you are fabulously wealthy beyond all expectations, living in your dream home, owning a yacht, visiting exotic islands, and traveling the world. Now really imagine yourself doing this. Put yourself in the picture. Feel it. Be honest. Assess what your daily life would be like. With all the money you could ever need, you wouldn't need to do anything.

Don't just imagine that you have "made it," with your manifested dream having come true. Imagine living in that abundance every day. What would you do? How would you fill the hours of the day? That is what I am talking about.

In doing a certain visualization for a short while now, it occured to me this morning that I would have to be very aggressive to keep moving forward because the inertia of an "easy life" would be pulling me back--or at least keeping me in neutral. This realization made me wonder whether I have a hidden, irrational fear of boredom that potentially might exist with such an "easy life." We know that contradictory "core beliefs" can sabotage our dreams or intentions. I don't want that to happen to my creative visualizations of greater abundance in my life. So I will make some adjustments in my visualizations to address this point.

When I continue with on my dream-life-abundance visualization, I will address this newly-discovered fear by acknowledging its presence and letting that fear know that I will never be bored with an "easy life." I will continue to stay busy, have fun, and grow and expand! In so doing this, I hope to release this once-hidden fear, to uncross the wires of my "core beliefs" that contradict each other (one wire re visualizing an easy life: "go, go, go, go!" another wire re fear of bordem: "but, but, but, but!"). I am glad to have uncovered this internal contradiction, to keep moving on!

What about you? Does this ring true for you?

I am living the life you described. Well, minus the yacht and visiting exotic islands.

I started a company when I was 23 and sold it when I was 28. I effectively retired at 28. It has been a terribly difficult transition for me. Work was my life and without work I have come to realize I haven't much of a life. What to do when you don't need to be earning money? I haven't figured out the answer to that question yet. Currently I am in the process of forming a non-profit and I suspect that much of my time and energy will go into that.

This transition into retirement has brought with it immense depression. I can very much relate to the feeling of staying in neutral and not really going anywhere. Not exactly what you want to feel at the ripe old age of 29.

I do value my situation in that I am not forced to make decisions based on money. I have a freedom that few others have.

I am here to attest that "living in abundance every day" is not a particularly easy thing to do.

It's been less than a year since I sold and I do plan on getting my feet firmly planted on the ground and really make my life mean something.

Wow, Sandstone. That is a great perspective you share! I'd be interested in hearing how you progress in your journey. One thing that comes to mind is that, so many people have talents and passions that could be developed in areas they never imagined. For me it's songwriting/playwriting--which, if a strange set of circumstances had not uncovered, I would have gone through life completely unaware that I enjoy that type of thing. So with so much opportunity to explore, you can uncover so many passions now. That's awesome! Please share your explorations with us, as they develop.
