For a long time, I used the word abundance well… abundantly.
It was everywhere. It’s what we were all being told to focus on, what we thought we wanted.
But at some point, I stopped using it so freely, as I began to understand that it wasn’t quite what I thought it was.
The shift came when a client asked me to create a Room Mist for money.
It made me stop and really look at what I was working with, money, abundance, and what the alternative might be.
Because what she wanted wasn’t abundance.
When I Focused on Abundance
At the time, like most people, I thought abundance was the goal.
And when I focused on it, I certainly received it.
There was suddenly a lot of everything.
More things arriving in the house, more items being gifted, more purchases, more possessions.
And while it looked like abundance, it quickly became clear that what I was really experiencing was volume.
More things meant more sorting, more storage, more decisions, and eventually, more work.
We used to order a large skip bin every year just to clear things out, donating, selling, and sometimes throwing things away just to get back to a baseline.
It became obvious that abundance, in its simplest form, just means a lot of something, and that doesn’t necessarily mean it improves your life.
And looking back, it wasn’t just that there was too much.
All of that excess was taking up space, physically, mentally, and energetically, leaving very little room for anything new to come in.
Especially the kind of movement I would later come to recognise as prosperity.
When I Focused on Prosperity
Later, I began focusing on something different.
Prosperity.
And what followed felt entirely different.
Instead of more things appearing, I began to notice a shift in how things were unfolding.
Opportunities started to present themselves.
Clients found me.
Bookings increased.
Sales happened naturally.
Discounts appeared on things I already needed.
Prosperity wasn’t about quantity. It was about quality, about things going well.
The actual meaning of prosperity is “to do well,” and that’s exactly how it began to show up.
Resources moved through my life in ways that supported what I was doing, rather than adding to it.
The Difference
Abundance can fill your life with more, but more doesn’t always move you forward.
Prosperity, on the other hand, has a sense of direction to it. It brings the right things at the right time, in ways that support growth, stability, and momentum.
One creates volume.
The other creates movement.
As I sat with my client’s request, it became clear that she wasn’t asking for abundance at all.
She understood, perhaps more intuitively than most, that abundance can simply mean a lot, and that wasn’t what she was looking for.
But it also wasn’t just about money.
What she wanted was for her business to do well, to grow, to be seen, and to reach the right people. She wanted opportunities to expand, new clients to come in, and for her work to move into spaces where it hadn’t been before.
In other words, she wanted her business to prosper.
And with that, the financial side of things didn’t need to be chased. It could arrive as part of something that was already working.
Working With Prosperity
What I began to see through that process is that prosperity isn’t something you force, and it’s not something you chase.
It’s something you create the conditions for.
The atmosphere around us plays a quieter role in this than most people realise.
A space can hold clutter, pressure, and distraction, or it can support clarity, movement, and direction.
The Prosperity Room Mist was created with that in mind, to gently shift the atmosphere of a space so that ideas, decisions, and opportunities can move more freely.
If you’re new to working with room mists, you can explore how they work here.
It contains a component that works to decongest the kind of stuck energy that can build up around prosperity, the subtle stagnation that keeps things from moving even when everything looks right on the surface.

It’s not about controlling outcomes, but creating a space where things can unfold well.

Final Thought
Abundance gave me more.
Prosperity showed me what it feels like when things begin to go well.
And that difference has changed what I choose to focus on.
