This may come as a surprise to you, but getting yourself out of debt doesn't end after you've worked hard to eliminate the debt.

June 15, 2006 16:09 - Take Time For Rest And Relaxation When You Need It
Rest and relaxation is definitely a requirement as you're learning how to add abundance to your life.
If you're in a state of stress, you'll find it difficult to think and act in a way that leads to inner peace. Stress quickens the body, makes it difficult to think clearly and can lead to bad decisions.

June 18, 2006 14:30 - Be Careful Of Comparison Thinking
I picked up Wayne Dyer's book, "Your Sacred Self", again yesterday and was leafing through it. I happened to land on a page where he talks about the need to free yourself of "Comparison Thinking" and it got me thinking about that.
If you think about it, our society is obsessed with comparison thinking. Every day you hear someone compare themselves to others either as superior or inferior.
When you compare yourself to someone else, it's your ego doing the talking. When you can get in touch with your higher self, you see that we're all linked by something much greater than what is seen on the surface. From a spiritual sense, none of us are better or worse than anyone else.
Here's a quote from Dyer on this: "As your thinking becomes more pure, you begin seeing the connections that link all of us together in something far more significant than surface appearances. To think of yourself as superior to another, or more talented, or more beautiful means that ego is getting you to deny your inner spirit, which is connected to those whom you are judging.
There is no room for feeling superior or comparing youself with others when you are operating from your sacred self. Every being, including yourself, is an individualized expression of God."
You can read his full passage on this subject starting on page 326 of his book.

It's simple but effective.

Your mind is more powerful than you can imagine. Your mental state sets up the reality you live in each day of your life.
