A daily manifestation

Beginning tomorrow morning, spend one week offering yourself a simple statement: 'I have enough time for today,' or 'I have enough creativity, resources, skills, or friends for today.' Let your own words arise naturally. Say it out loud and/or write it down. 

If you catch yourself thinking "I don't have enough ____," ask yourself: "What's a simple action I can take to soften the belief that something is lacking?" This simple question transforms limitation into possibility.

Instead of saying "I'm overwhelmed," reframe with "I have a lot of balls in the air and I'm cultivating spaciousness in my life." (And, then validate this by allowing more buffers between meetings in your calendar.)

Recognize that you do enough. Let go of trying to squeeze in one more thing.

This practice can be whittled down into what I call The Enough Pledge:

I Have Enough

I Do Enough

I Am Enough

Taking this pledge doesn't mean abandoning your aspirations. You can still plan to travel the world, buy a second home, or change lives through your work. But you're no longer dependent on these outcomes in order to feel content today.

When you stop clinging to specific results, something magical happens. You get creative. Your goals feel more within reach because you're operating from a place of sufficiency, not scarcity.

Because you realize you've already arrived.

While everyone around us is going for more, it can feel unAmerican or counter cultural to live a life of enough. We need daily reminders because we're essentially undoing decades of "not enough" conditioning. 

The Enough pledge is your daily commitment/intention to create a boundless life.
