Dear Zuri,
I’ve been going through a rough patch in almost every area of my life. What can I do to turn things around and create more abundance?

Hi Jill!
When life gets tough, it’s so easy to fall into that “why isn’t this happening for me?” spiral. Believe me, I’ve been there. We’ve all been there. But here’s the thing: constantly focusing on what’s wrong? It only brings more of what we don’t want. It’s like trying to drive forward while staring in the rearview mirror. It doesn’t work, and you don’t need to stay stuck there.
Shift Your Focus and Start Attracting More Goodness
Here’s a little secret about the law of attraction: what you focus on grows. If you want more abundance in your life, more magic, more joy, you need to focus on the goodness that’s already there. And trust me, even on your hardest days, there is always something to be grateful for. Always.
Maybe it’s your health. Maybe it’s a friend who’s stuck by you through thick and thin. Maybe it’s that steady job that puts food on your table. Maybe it’s the roof over your head. These things might feel small sometimes, but they’re actually everything. These are the building blocks that create lasting transformation.
A Gratitude Mindset: Transforming Lives, One Thought at a Time
Let me share a story with you—about a woman named Sarah. A few years ago, she was in a tough place. She had just lost her job, her health was deteriorating, and her relationship was on shaky ground. It felt like she was stuck in a never-ending cycle of negativity. Her stress was through the roof, and she didn’t know how to break free.
Then, one day, she read about the power of gratitude and thought, “Why not try it?” So she started a gratitude journal—just three things each day. “I’m grateful for the fresh cup of coffee I get to enjoy every morning.” “I’m thankful for the dog who cuddles with me after a hard day.” “I’m grateful for the moments of peace I get, even when life feels chaotic.”
At first, it felt a little silly—just listing random things every day. She thought, How could this possibly make a difference? But after a few weeks, something amazing started to happen. She began to shift her focus away from everything that was wrong and started noticing the small, beautiful things that were going right. And as her mindset shifted, so did her reality.
The job opportunity she had been waiting for finally arrived. She began to notice the small acts of kindness her partner showed her, instead of only focusing on what wasn’t working. And something magical happened: her relationship started to heal. Their communication improved, and they started to connect on a deeper level.
As Sarah’s gratitude practice continued, her health began to improve, too. She had more energy, felt lighter, and started making better choices for her well-being—choices that aligned with the positive mindset she was cultivating. Her daily walks became a source of joy instead of just another task. Her meals felt nourishing, and she felt more in control of her body.
Gratitude wasn’t just a mindset for Sarah—it became her lifeline. It became the foundation of her transformation. She felt healthier, stronger, and more aligned with her true purpose.
This wasn’t a fluke. It wasn’t magic. It was the power of shifting her mindset and focusing on the good. It was the transformative power of gratitude. The more Sarah focused on the blessings around her, the more blessings flowed into her life.
Gratitude Journaling = Your Magical Tool
Now, let’s get practical! Take just a few minutes each morning to write down what you’re grateful for. It doesn’t have to be complicated or grand. Start with the little things: the warmth of your morning cup of tea, the kindness of a friend, or the peacefulness of your morning routine. These small moments create a ripple effect of positivity.
Gratitude opens the door to new opportunities, and it will guide you toward healing in ways you may not expect.
Let’s Talk Affirmations, Shall We?
Here’s my personal set of affirmations to get you started:
- I’m thankful for my good health, my family, and the incredible people in my life.
- I bless them with love and light, knowing that their dreams are coming true.
- I’m grateful for the opportunity to do work that fulfills me and serves others.
- I’m thankful for my spiritual team, who surrounds me with healing and abundance every single day.
Make Your Affirmations Pop!
If you really want to supercharge your affirmations, write them on colorful post-its and place them where you’ll see them often—on your bathroom mirror, computer, or fridge. The more you see them, the more you align your thoughts with positivity.
Tiny Thank Yous Go a Long Way
Don’t forget the small stuff. Seriously. Thank the universe for those little things that light you up—because those are the moments that matter. Maybe it’s the smile of a stranger that brightens your day. Or the scent of fresh flowers that makes you pause and take a deep breath. Maybe it’s the sound of laughter, or the warmth of your favorite cup of tea in your hands. These are the tiny sparks of magic that are already in your life.
Gratitude doesn’t always need to be grand. It doesn’t need to be over-the-top or complicated. It just needs to be real. It’s the simple moments, the quiet blessings, that hold the most power. The more you acknowledge and appreciate those small, beautiful things, the more magic will find its way to you. And when you start to notice the little moments of joy, they begin to multiply. It’s like a snowball effect—small moments becoming bigger and bigger, until they fill your life with the most incredible blessings.
So, today, take a moment to thank the universe for the little things. Trust me, they are everything.
