How rich are you really?

When we hear the word rich, our minds often go straight to money.
But richness is not only about what sits in your bank account: it’s about the wealth of your senses, your consciousness, your reality, and your ability to live in the here and now.
Take a moment with me: breathe, pause, breathe.
Through your nose out through your mouth, 3 times slow and measured.
Now consider: What am I rich in?
Let’s look at different areas of life where richness can be found:
Health: the strength of your body, the vitality of your energy, and the resilience you carry.
Spirituality: your connection to something greater, your sense of meaning, your inner peace.
Money: not just survival, but choices, opportunities, and the freedom it can bring.
Friendships: the laughter, the shoulders to lean on, the souls who see and accept you.
Family: the bonds of love, the shared histories, the connections that anchor you.
Love: the giving and receiving of care, intimacy, and warmth.
Purpose: the drive that gets you up in the morning, the work that fulfils you.
Growth: your ability to learn, stretch, and evolve as life unfolds.
Joy: those small, fleeting moments that fill your heart with lightness.
Now, gently close your eyes. Take a deep, slow breath in through your nose … and out through your mouth. Do this 3 times, each breath slower than the last.
As you settle, imagine yourself in a version of your life where there is already abundance:
An abundance of friendships.
An abundance of health.
An abundance of exercise and energy.
An abundance of love, connection, and joy.
You are not reaching for it—it’s here now. You are already living it.
Allow gratitude to rise up in you, just for this moment.
Let it expand with each breath. Stay here for a little while.
Then, when you feel ready, come back to these questions:
How rich am I in health?
How rich am I in friendships?
How rich am I in purpose?
How rich am I in love?
Give each area a number that feels right to you today.
Notice if it has shifted after spending time in abundance and gratitude.
Richness is not only in what you have, it’s in how you live, breathe, and recognise the colours , the aliveness in nature , people , closeness already here.
Staying with positive mindset allows for me positivity to come to you.
So, I’ll ask you again: How rich are you really?
