If you want more from your life—whether it's more love, more financial security or more happiness—then you have to make room for those positive things to come your way, Dr. Robin says. Making room means you may need to learn to live with less—less stuff, fewer bad relationships and less emotional baggage. "There's no way that the universe or God will send you more when you're actually showing the universe that [you] can't handle what it is [you] already have," she says.

Decide today to get rid of whatever it is that is unnecessary in your home, your mind your heart and make room for more joy and blessings to enter, Dr. Robin says. "You can actually have much less than you thought you ever needed and still live a vibrant and a meaningful life," she says.
