One of the things I’ve been hearing from a lot of people lately is, “I’ll be happy when ______ (blank);” specifically, around finances. I hear, “I’ll be happy when…I make more money,” “I’ll happy when…I get this job,” or some variation.

Waiting for happiness reminds me of a carrot on a stick. It’s going to be at arms length…something that’s forever just out of your reach. You will never truly be able to enjoy “happiness” if you’re waiting on some type of event to happen. Because happiness is not an event, happiness is a choice. Happiness is something that you can choose to do at any given time.

On a side note: happiness is what will actually attract the thing you desire…how ironic!

I was talking with a young lady a few days ago about how sometimes people punish themselves by not participating in things they enjoy when they find themselves in a financial bind. This is one the worse things you can do when you’re felling down about anything. This is the tie when you need the most joy in your life. Now, I’m suggesting that you go out and spend, spend, spend, but find the things that you can do that are free that bring you joy.

The reason why this is so important is that you will attract what you are emotionally putting out (vibrating). So, let’s look at this scenario:

You’re in a in a financial bind which causes stress, frustration and anxiety. So, what happens as a result? You attract more stress, frustration, and anxiety. Then, on top of that, you neglect yourself by removing fun, and excitement, and joy from your life; causing more stress, frustration and anxiety…even potentially leading to depression.

Practical Application
So, I want to share the same advice I gave the young lady, “Fun first…finance will follow.”

Truly allow yourself the opportunity to create fun and happiness – NOW – and you will see that the finances will follow the fun.

This is an example of a time you are able to leave your worries about money behind and take a leap into an extravagant lifestyle. This same principle can be applied to the feeling rich aspect of the Law of Attraction. You don’t have to actually go there, all that is needed is time and a little creativity.

Feeling Rich Exercise

Come up with ways to create the feeling rich experience for you, and write them down. Then follow through and do those things. Practice this exercise for a duration of 30 minutes, once a week.

This can be going to a favorite coffee shop and purchasing your favorite beverage. You can even go to a fancy restaurant and order an appetizer that you have always wanted to try. You don’t have to spend a lot of money to experience this. Just by doing this simple exercise you can experience feeling rich instantly.

This is a little exercise that has a profound impact.  After all, it’s not just the concept of feeling rich that can be applied to money, but to your overall wealth. That is the ultimate feeling of richness.

Most people do not love their finances, because it’s in a negative state. Fall in love with money. Be clear about the amount of moolah you want to manifest. State it and mean it! It should not be how much you can earn, but how much you want to receive.

Money is magnetic energy. You are a magnet that attracts all things via the signal you emit through your thoughts and feelings. To become a powerful magnet of prosperity, fall in love with money and believe that you have what it takes to attract it.

Why People Hate Money

1. They don’t have enough of it
2. It’s hard to find and make
3. It’s associated as the source of all evil
4. The belief that they can’t be rich
5. The belief that it’s the only source of happiness

You may be thinking “Isn’t it true most people have very little or no funds at all?” If this is your B.S. (Belief System) this is the reason, why you haven’t fallen in love with money. You believe it’s not easily available to you.

There are people who mistreat, behave and talk bad about those who have large sums of dough in their possession. In doing so, the Law of Attraction is reversed and works against them causing them to lose out.

How to Fall In Love with Money

1. Be clear about the amount you want to manifest
2. Believe that you have what it takes to attract it
3. Know it’s needed to live a fulfilling life
4. Understand that it’s a good thing
5. Remember there’s an unlimited amount available to you

Money is used to accomplish a lot of things both good and bad; therefore it is upon you to decide what you intend to do with it once you have it.

Most people limit themselves as far as how much capital they would like to have. It should not always be about how much you can make but rather how much you want. And there is no limit to what you can achieve as long as you know how to manifest money.

If you want to bring more wealth into your life, you need to put your attention on having money – not wishing for money, but possessing it now. You can do this by simply visualizing things and situations that give you the feeling of being wealthy, or you can use physical aids to help make the experience more tangible.

Here are a few examples:

• Deposit Funds into Your Account-
  Get some blank deposit slips at your bank.  Imagine you have a large amount of money you want to put into your account, and then actually fill out a deposit slip. Think about how good it feels to fill out the deposit slip and give it, along with a pile of cash or a large check, to the teller. You may never have had the experience of writing down or seeing that many zeros before, so this will help make the mental exercise  feel more real.
• Write Checks for the Items You Want-
  Get some checks from an unused account, or photocopy a blank check. Pull out a catalogue and look through the pages.  When you see something you want, write out a check for it.  Doesn’t it feel good to write out a large check?  You can then actually put it in an envelope and address it – you could even make a special “mailbox” to send your order through the universe. Now, feel happy and excited about receiving the items in the mail soon.
• Increase the Amount in Your Checkbook Balance-
  Close your eyes, and see another $10,000.00 or $100,000.00 in your checkbook balance – instead of seeing $240.00, imagine that it’s $10,240.00.  Get a vivid image of that nice big number.  Feel good about the large amount of money that’s yours to spend. You want to get used to seeing and writing these amounts on a regular basis.

These exercises, with or without the physical “props”, will help you send out a vibration of prosperity.  Use your imagination to think of other exercises like these, and practice them regularly.  The more you feel wealthy, the more the Law of Attraction will compel the universe to bring wealth to you.

My question is how do you NOT make more money???

Money is just like everything else – It’s energy.

And what do we know about energy? It’s massively abundant.

The ONLY difference with money and most other energy is our thoughts about it.

I’ll give you a scenario.

Imagine you’re in your kitchen and you’re making an apple pie… but you’re almost out of apples and you need one more. You go to your next door neighbor (unless you live in New York just kidding) and you ask your neighbor…

“Hey ____ (neighbor), can I have an apple for an apple pie I’m baking?”

They answer, “sure…here ya go…” (side note: For most people, they’d answer that way even if it were their last apple”)

So imagine this scenario:

You’re in your kitchen (making an apple pie) but you’re doing your bills also. You notice that your phone bill is higher than you thought and you need about $50 to cover the balance.

You go to your neighbor’s house…and you ask,

“Hey ____ (neighbor), can I have 50 bucks to pay my phone bill?”

Now…how do you feel right now?

Just take a moment to think about how reading this scenario made you feel…what did you think about, what emotions did you experience?

Did you feel uncomfortable?
Did you think it was ‘stupid’? Saying, who would ask a neighbor for 50 bucks?
How would YOU have handled that situation?

If you felt ANY differently about the money than you did the apple, then you may want to consider how you feel about money. If you felt uncomfortable from the very beginning, you may want to consider how you feel about lack or asking others for help.

Practical Application

Say these affirmations to yourself:

• Money is abundant and is freely mine
• Money comes to me easy and effortlessly
• Earning $1 is just as easy as earning $1,000

Write these affirmations somewhere where you will be able to see them regularly and repeat them. You will be on your way to making more money with ease!

Rather than wishing for money, you need to do whatever you can to feel as if you already have it.  I understand that this can be hard to do when your bank statement tells you that you’re currently broke, but it can be done.

For example, don’t just say to yourself that you’d like a nice suit, imagine that you own it right now.  Find a picture of a suit that you like, and picture it being in your closet.  See yourself putting it on and looking in the mirror – don’t you look good in it?  Make sure that you focus on specific details: button the buttons, put your hands in the pockets, adjust your tie (and check to see if your fly is open).

Here are some more things you might try in order to make your visualizations as real as possible:

• Go to an auto dealership and test-drive the car of your dreams.
• Go to an expensive restaurant.  Look through the menu and consider ordering the steak and lobster, but then decide that you’re pretty full and that you’ll just get a dessert.
• Call a real estate agent and have them show you an expensive home.  Walk through it, and imagine yourself watching television in the living room, playing pool in the game room, and lounging in the whirlpool while you drink a glass of wine.

I think you get my point.  Do whatever you can to feel wealthy at this moment – now!  You’ll then be more in tune with having money and the things that money can buy.  This will be the vibration that you send out into the universe, and this will be what the universe will deliver to you.

Here’s a nice exercise designed to help you get from where you are today to where you want to be – on a vibrational level.

• Take a piece of paper and write at the top of the paper “where you are now”. Let’s say you don’t have a lot of money, and your goal is to become wealthy.  Write down, “I am not wealthy.” Consider how you feel about that – probably not very good.  Face your situation head on.  Say to yourself, “I’m not rich, and I don’t feel good about it.”  That feeling is telling you that your inner self wants to move from that place.
• Write on the bottom of the page “I am wealthy”. That’s where you want to be.  Consider how you will feel when that becomes your reality.  You will feel relief and joy.
• The blank space in between these two statements represent your vibrational gap. This is the gap between your present poverty and your future wealth.  It may seem like a big gap, but it’s one that you must close in order to make your desire a reality.
• Start to fill in the empty space in stages. Write statements that gradually move you from the top statement to the one at the bottom.  For example, “I have the ability to create more wealth.” Then continue: “There are many people who were poor who became wealthy, this is also possible for me.” Keep writing more and more positive statements about yourself:  “I am a talented person who has much to offer the world.”  “My abilities are worth a lot to the right person.” Or write hopeful things such as, “Wealth will come to me in abundance and in unexpected ways.” “I accept wealth through all avenues.”
• Keep filling in the blank space on the paper with statements that bring you closer to “I am wealthy”. Then look at the page.  There used to be a huge gap between the top and bottom statements, just as there was a big emotional difference between where you find yourself now and where you want to be.  You can see that there are not huge leaps between the individual sentences you wrote – each one was just slightly more positive.  You got from the first statement to the last in small, steady stages that were all believable.

You probably noticed that as you wrote each sentence, you felt a little more positive.  The emotional gap was closed in a step-by-step fashion.  You didn’t need to go from Sadness to Joy in a single bound – you could work your way there by focusing on good and then greater things.

Try this exercise yourself.  This is a great way to put the Law of Attraction into practice.  You’ll find it will work wonders.

Living the Law of Attraction involves getting in tune with and raising your vibrational resonance towards those things you desire. To do this, you want to create the feeling of having those things now.

One thing you can do to give yourself the feeling of having more money now is to simply add money into your check book ledger. Now, remember that this is an exercise – I don’t want anyone to bounce checks, and then blame me!

• What Do You Want? When you look at your balance and see very little there, you can’t help but be reminded of what you don’t have. You need to remind yourself of what you want to have. You want that to be your dominant vibration. For example: “I have plenty of money” or “I am creating for myself additional income in my bank account.”
• Write It Down What I have done in the past is to add $10,000.00 to my balance. It’s a nice round number, and not too big to be unbelievable. You can easily recognize this as “extra” money and won’t mistakenly spend it. Think of it as money you could spend if you wanted to, but that you choose not to.
• Visual Reminder When you look at your balance, you will see this nice big number there. It’s a visual reminder that there is abundance in your life. No, your not going to spend it now, but it is yours.

See this $10,000.00 check as your money, and you’re just waiting for it to clear. Begin to spend it mentally, think about what you will do with this money and how will it make you feel.

This is how you can live the Law of Attraction, and you will receive whatever you are most in tune with. So be prepared for your bank account to overflow with abundance!

What Are You Thinking?

When you ask or wish for more money, are you focusing on being wealthy now? Are you happy just imagining the wealth that is yours? Or, are you focusing on the gap between where you are and where you want to be? If you’re thinking about the latter, then you may be feeling sadness or frustration thinking about the wealth you don’t have. When you feel sad or frustrated it brings your vibration down and you are not going to get what you desire. The goal is to bring your vibration up with positive thinking.

So now you may be wondering, “How can I live and think as if I am rich, when I ‘m constantly reminded of the many things I can’t have?”

This is the beauty of using the Law of Attraction, all you need to do is make a small shift in your attitude about money. This will make a huge difference in your economic future. Many people live in a pattern that makes it impossible for them to acquire wealth – no matter how much they want it.

Always Be Aware of Your Thoughts

When you are at a store and you see something you want, is your first thought, “I wish I could afford that, but I can’t.”? If so, this is producing the feeling of lacking wealth, therefore creating that negative reality. I want you to replace that thought with, “I can’t wait to have that!” or “Won’t it be great when I have that!” This will create a positive, happy feeling and subsequently alter your reality for the better.

These and many other positive thoughts will put you in alignment with having the things you want. This is an instance of living the Law of Attraction that will move you closer to the wealth you desire.

Practical Application

• Be aware of your thoughts and take control of them.
• Positive thinking is the key to attracting wealth.
• Positive thoughts in all situations brings your vibration up and puts you more in line with the things you want.
• Remember your thoughts will become your reality!

Here though… I want to talk about the beliefs that are deep rooted… the ones that pop up and surprise us. Even myself, I was brought up in a primarily Christian home, and I still have a lot of Christian beliefs, (and I have to emphasize and specify that I have a lot of limiting Christian beliefs) that still pop up every now and then. I’m not saying that Christianity is a limiting religion. We’ll leave that for a whole other discussion.

But there are a lot of interpretations of various aspects of the Christian religion that I do feel can limit a person. I know that I can say it has limited me. As I said, a lot of these beliefs will resurface every now and then, and I have to catch myself and say, “Oh my gosh, that’s not what I want to create for myself. Yes, I was taught that when I was younger. But wow, that is not what I want to create for myself. I want to create ____.” And I shift my focus to that.
Again, this is someone who’s done 20 years of this type of work, not only on myself, but I’ve been teaching others as well. I still have belief systems that are just latent, that just come blasting out every now and then. It just kind of throws me for a loop.

It is these latent beliefs that we have to catch on change. Catching it once is not going to be enough. This is a process that we have to work on a daily basis, putting the positive influence there. Realizing that our old way of thinking can still creep in and throw off all of the good, new, positive work we have been doing on ourselves.

Anyway, I just want you to walk away from reading this post and not be discouraged, and not be frustrated, but actually be encouraged to know that you can make any shift you want. You can make any change and shift your paradigm to anything you want. The thing that I want to put out here as a suggestion, as a recommendation of making this process easier for you, is to not expect it overnight. Be kind to yourself. Give yourself grace and recognize that just because you watched the secret last week or last month or even last year doesn’t mean that you’re going to be a millionaire this year. It doesn’t mean that you’re going to have all of these things just showing up.

Now things will start happening quickly because there may be some areas that you were able to shift very, very quickly. But in those other areas that may be a little more deeply-rooted than others, give yourself grace. Be kind to yourself and love yourself. Give yourself the time that you may need to shift from one place to another. This will benefit you on so many levels.
