The Abundance Vortex

How to Train Yourself for a Better Reality

Have you ever had the feeling that life just keeps getting better, as if you're in some kind of miraculous, upward-spiraling vortex?

That’s the space I find myself in these days, and I call it the abundance vortex. Things flow, opportunities appear, and I wake up each day feeling alive, electric, and energized.

But here’s the thing: it’s not magic. It’s training. Let me explain.

The Habit of Thinking and Feeling

The way we think is a habit, just like brushing our teeth or scrolling our phones. So is the way we feel.

We all have a default mode—a mental and emotional autopilot. For some people, this default is uplifting and expansive. For others, it’s a cycle of stress, depression, victimhood, worry, or worst-case-scenario thinking.

And none of it is your fault, or anyone’s fault.

But just because it’s not your fault, doesn’t mean it’s not your responsibility.

That’s a double negative… it is your responsibility.

And since your reality is your responsibility, I’ll share some good news: this default mode is completely malleable. We’re not stuck with it. We can shape it.

Our thinking and feeling patterns have been conditioned over time—by our upbringing, experiences, and surroundings. So just as they were conditioned, they can be reconditioned.

It’s a process of sculpting our internal world into what we want it to be.

This is what I’ve done for myself, and this is the work I do with others.

From Friction to Flow

I wasn’t always in this abundance vortex.

There was a time when I was trapped in my mind, cycling through worries and imagined disasters. I felt sluggish and low-energy most days. I lived with friction, in resistance to life, which created mental and emotional suffering. That default mode was like a radio tuned to static—grating, dissonant, and draining.

But I’ve reprogrammed myself. These days, I honestly can’t remember the last time I spiraled into a negative thought pattern. I actually can’t remember the last time I thought of something I didn’t want. My mind simply doesn’t go there anymore. And my emotional state is vibrant, free, and abundant.

What changed? I trained myself into a new way of thinking and feeling.

That is all.

Just like someone can train to run a marathon, I’ve trained myself to live this way.

The Science of Reconditioning

Every single day, I do things that reinforce my desired state of being. I have a list of reminders that I read or listen to without fail. These aren’t just empty affirmations—they’re vehicles for tuning into the frequency of abundance.

Think of it like tuning a radio. When you know the frequency you want, you can dial into it. And when you tune into it enough times, it becomes second nature. Maybe you even leave it on that station for good.

If you’re too young to know what tuning a radio is like, think of it like a social media algorithm. You start to seek and engage with certain types of content, and more of that content is shown to you, until your experience becomes an echo chamber of dog reels and convenient solutions for modern day living.

Ok.

Here’s a simple breakdown of what I do:

• Mind Training: I immerse myself in ideas and perspectives that expand my thinking and reinforce my preferred mindset. I read, listen to, and reflect on things that align with how I want to live. I spend time directing my mind toward what I’m grateful for that’s here and on its way.

• Emotional Training: I integrate all aspects of my emotional experience and generate feelings of abundance, freedom, and expansiveness until they become second nature, something I can tap into on a moment’s notice. I spend time in the feeling of my every wish fulfilled, and so it is.

• Daily Anchors: I engage in activities that cultivate my desired state of being, such as visualizations, listening to music, or living my purpose. I organize my days to be full with things are aligned with my truth, allow me to give my gifts, and make me feel alive and connected—whether it’s coaching, creative expression, or time in nature.

Over time, these practices shifted my baseline.

Now, it’s effortless to live in this state because it’s become my default.

How I Help Clients Step Into Their Vortex

This is the process I guide my clients through, because I’ve realized that most change efforts are burdensome when they are in conflict with someone’s state of being. Trying to shift behavior in a way that doesn’t align with one’s mental and emotional state is like trying to push a boulder up a hill.

So the first thing we do is work on reconditioning the mental and emotional body. We start by clarifying the mental patterns and emotional states they want to live in—confidence, peace, joy, abundance, etc.—and build practices to repeatedly tap into those states.

The goal isn’t to force change; it’s to create such consistent and powerful shifts that the new way of thinking and feeling becomes second nature.

When that happens, new behavioral patterns effortlessly emerge (behavior is the end of a chain of events) and their reality begins to shift in ways they once thought impossible.

People find themselves living in brand new ways.

Your Abundance Vortex

If you’re ready to step into your own abundance vortex, here’s where to start:

1. Notice Your Default Mode: What thoughts and feelings are you living on autopilot?

2. Define Your Desired State: How do you want to think and feel? Be specific.

3. Create Anchors: Find daily practices that help you embody that state.

4. Be Consistent: Repetition is the secret sauce. The more you return to your desired state, the easier it becomes (like anything new).

The abundance vortex isn’t a lucky accident—it’s an intentional method. And the more you practice it, the more your reality will reflect the beauty of your internal world.

Are you ready to spiral up?
