In other words, you have to work very hard to receive enough money to cover your monthly expenses, or does money seem to come to you effortlessly? Take some time to think carefully about these questions because they reveal something very important: your overall mind-set regarding money and wealth You can tell immediately whether you have a wealth mind-set or lack mind-set by looking at your life experiences Law of Attraction Think Rich Lesson #1 Your Mind-Set Creates Your Experiences The Law of Attraction is activated by your mind-set – in other words, the things you think, believe and feel on a regular basis Here’s how it works: Your thoughts trigger your emotions Your emotional state emits a specific ―frequency‖ of energy to the universe, and the universe returns events and experiences into your life, that correspond with your emotional frequency When you think and feel positively on a regular basis, everything in your life seems to ―flow‖ more easily, including money When your thoughts and emotions lean more toward the negative side on a regular basis, you experience more problems, setbacks and financial lack in your life Also important are your beliefs Your beliefs form the structure of what is possible for you If you believe you have to work hard to have a lot of money, you’ll create exactly that experience for yourself If you don’t believe you deserve more than a certain amount of money, you’ll block more from arriving Whatever your beliefs are, they are your TRUTH, and you will subconsciously create ―evidence‖ that supports that truth over and over again until you learn to things differently MoneyMagnetMeditations.com Page Law of Attraction Money Mistake #2 Focusing on What You Don’t Have Have you ever agonized over a shortage of money? Have you worried obsessively about not being able to pay your bills or buy something you wanted? Believe it or not, you were probably making the situation worse by doing so We know that ―lack‖ is the condition of not having something you want – in other words, the absence of something But the absence of exactly ―what‖ may surprise you Lack is not the absence of money, or health, or love Those are just the symptoms of lack At its core, lack is simply the blockage of ENERGY When it comes right down to it, everything is energy When you experience lack of any kind, it’s a sure sign that you are cutting off the natural flow of energy through your life Every time you worry about your financial situation, agonize over a shortage of money, or feel stressed about your bills, you attract more of the experience of lack into your life Law of Attraction Think Rich Lesson #2 Focus on What You DO Have and DO Want It may sound incredibly difficult to focus on the positive when your life doesn’t look so rosy, but it is vital to find a way to it When you focus on the good things you already have and think about the things you want from an optimistic and hopeful state of mind, you cannot help but attract more of them into your life There are endless ways to begin focusing your thoughts on the things you have and want Start a gratitude journal and jot down a few things each day that you are grateful for (Hint: even if these things are not related to money, they can still get that positive energy flowing and attract more good things into your life; including more money.) You can also visualize having more MoneyMagnetMeditations.com Page money and imagine being able to pay your bills easily The more you focus on things like this, the more they will begin to show up in your physical reality MoneyMagnetMeditations.com Page Law of Attraction Money Mistake #3 Attracting Lack with Negative Emotions Focusing on lack and struggle is destructive enough, but it’s possible to make it even worse by infusing this focus with strong, negative emotions Think of your emotions as the ―fuel‖ that lends power to everything that manifests in your life When it comes to money, you often find yourself locked into negative emotions like these? Fear Anxiety Helplessness Hopelessness Pessimism Doubt Frustration Worry Jealousy Resentment Every time you experience emotions like these, you are creating more lack In order to turn lack into abundance, you have to avoid investing in these negative emotions Law of Attraction Think Rich Lesson #3 How to Prevent Negative Emotions from Creating More Lack There are two things you can to prevent these emotions from creating more lack in your life: 1) First, avoiding sinking into feelings like those described above is crucial MoneyMagnetMeditations.com Page As soon as you notice yourself starting to feel stressed or worried about money, immediately shift your focus to something else You can engage in a bit of self-talk if it helps; say something like, ―There’s no point worrying about something I can’t control, so I’m going to focus on something that makes me feel good.‖ Then spend time on unrelated activities, or find a way to feel better about your financial situation 2) Secondly, begin directing more positive emotions toward your financial situation Even if you have to engage in a bit of fantasizing in order to so, you need to get some positive emotions flowing to attract more abundance There are many ways to this, but one that works well is to keep affirming, ―I always have more than enough money for everything I need.‖ Just keep saying it over and over again, allowing yourself to feel confident and happy that your financial needs are being met This is also a good thing to when you notice you’re starting to feel worried or frightened about not having enough money Immediately turn the focus around and say, ―I ALWAYS have more than enough money for EVERYTHING I need.‖ (Say it with power and conviction in your voice, and really believe that it is so.) As you begin shifting your focus from negative emotions to positive emotions every day, you should start to notice your financial situation shifting to a better place also You might receive an unexpected check in the mail, you might get a bonus or pay raise at work, or you may even notice you’re starting to receive unexpected gifts or discounts These are great signs that it’s working! Keep replacing negative emotions with positive as often as possible and you’ll keep the good energy flowing – which will keep inspiring greater and greater change in your life MoneyMagnetMeditations.com Page Law of Attraction Money Mistake #4 Destructive Activities that Intensify Lack Did you know that there are specific activities and habits that can continue to intensify the appearance of lack and struggle in your life? For example, consider how you usually treat the money you have If money was a person in your life, would he or she feel honored and loved; or abused, neglected and disrespected? Ouch If you are like most people, your relationship with money could probably use a little tender loving care Attracting more money into your life means learning to treat money with respect and kindness Why should you show respect and kindness to an inanimate object? Because money is NOT an inanimate object at all! It is energy, remember? Even more importantly, it is a projection of YOUR energy That means it is a part of you, and it has a life and intelligence all its own Therefore, it is crucial to avoid these habits and activities where your money is concerned: Excessive spending Excessive debt Reckless disregard for the importance of money No savings plan Financial disorganization Poor planning You see, the problem isn’t that you don’t have enough money The true problem is that you are not managing your money in a way that attracts more of it MoneyMagnetMeditations.com Page Law of Attraction Think Rich Lesson #4 Respect Money and It Will Love You Here are the best things you can to begin honoring your money (and attracting more!) 1) Begin a savings plan immediately It doesn’t matter if you can only spare a dollar or two each week, but begin setting some money aside into a savings account right away And not touch that money for ANY reason! This step is very important because it puts you into the mind-set of ―having money‖ – even if the amount you have isn’t a lot yet The more you this, the wealthier you’re going to feel as you remember that you’re not ―living on the edge‖ 2) Avoid spending money on anything that doesn’t contribute VALUE to your life Do you really need that cute purse when you’ve already got a closet full of them? Do you really need more ―toys‖ that will only gather dust when you tire of them in a few weeks? Instead, begin spending your money on things that will help you to grow and deepen as an individual Buy books to expand your knowledge Invest in business courses or career development programs Better yet, begin contributing money to investment programs so it can grow and eventually work FOR you This doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the occasional treat You can still enjoy nice things, but be very choosy about what they are and how often you buy them 3) Get organized If you haven’t balanced your checkbook in ages, or you have no idea how much debt you have, figure it out and create a plan for paying it off The point of this exercise is not to MoneyMagnetMeditations.com Page make you feel bad, but to take responsibility for your financial situation Trust me you’ll feel much better when you have a clear understanding of where you stand right now, and a solid plan for getting somewhere better Remember, you don’t have to everything all at once; starting small is okay But even small actions done daily will begin to add up and create some big changes Law of Attraction Money Mistake #5 Seeing, Believing and Expecting the Worst By now you are probably forming a solid understanding of the ways you’ve been creating lack in your life and the activities and habits that will only continue to make it worse Another habit that can be destructive to your bottom line is constantly seeing, believing and expecting the worst in every situation – especially pertaining to money How often you find yourself locked in a cycle of dread or disbelief that your financial situation can get better? For example, you dwell on frightening possibilities like losing your job or home? Do you worry that the economy will continue to get worse and affect yourself and your family in terrible ways? Do you say things like, ―I just know that things are going to get worse before they get better‖? Every time you these things, you are infusing them with power and strengthening the possibility that they will become your reality MoneyMagnetMeditations.com Page 10 Law of Attraction Think Rich Lesson #5 See, Believe and Expect the Best Believe it or not, it is just as easy to see, believe and expect the best in every situation as it is to worry about something awful happening It just may take a bit more conscious effort if you have made your negative mind-set a habit over the years To turn your negative mind-set into an abundance mind-set, I would recommend these steps: 1) Give all of your attention and energy to abundance Remember when I emphasized the importance of avoiding contributing strong energy and emotion to lack? Now you’ve got to start giving all the energy and emotion you can to abundance! Here’s how: As often as you can, keep aware of the abundance surrounding you Look at your home and all the possessions within it and marvel at how wealthy you really are Feel grateful for all you have, and affirm that more is on the way Also be sure to notice abundance in the world around you See how nature blooms and thrives so effortlessly, and gaze in awe at store shelves that are loaded with anything you could ever want to buy Abundance is everywhere if you simply open your eyes to it! 2) Believe it’s possible to have more than you can imagine You are probably used to thinking of your financial situation in very limited ways You earn money from a job or business, but you can’t see any other way for money to come to you Acknowledge daily that the universe has UNLIMITED options for sending more MoneyMagnetMeditations.com Page 11 money into your life Decide on a sum of money you’d like to receive in the near future, and then begin affirming that it is on the way to you Don’t worry about HOW it will arrive Just believe that it will find a way to enter your life 3) Expect to receive Your expectations are very powerful! If you expect to have a limited amount of money, that’s exactly what will happen Instead, start expecting more money to come to you from many different sources Affirm daily, ―Today I expect great things to happen Money, success and abundance in all forms will find their way to me effortlessly and quickly!‖ Then be on the lookout for great opportunities – and grab them when they arrive Do you see how easy it is to shift your focus from lack to abundance? It’s really just a matter of what you choose to focus on and invest your emotional energy into MoneyMagnetMeditations.com Page 12 Law of Attraction Money Mistake #6 Actions that Worsen Stagnation and Struggle Sometimes when people find themselves in difficult circumstances their judgment becomes clouded, confusion sets in – and they end up doing things that just make the problems much worse For example, have you ever been so overwhelmed by a problem that you didn’t know what to about it so you did nothing at all and let it snowball out of control? Or, have you ever panicked and taken hasty actions that you regretted later? When you operate from a mind-set of lack and struggle, you have little hope of turning things around because you are infusing the problems with the very same energy that created them in the first place In order to make lasting changes you have to change the way you operate day to day, mentally, physically and emotionally Law of Attraction Think Rich Lesson #6 Operate from a State of Joy and Confidence Just as there are actions that can worsen stagnation and struggle, there are actions that can get some strong, positive energy flowing through your life and begin turning everything around quickly and easily Below are three powerful actions you can begin taking today: 1) Do what you love The more time you spend feeling GOOD, the more positive emotion you contribute to the creation of your life This is true in relation to your financial situation, but also all other areas of your life Be sure to make a habit of doing the things you really LOVE to each day This can be everything from creative pursuits to reading inspiring books; spending quality time with MoneyMagnetMeditations.com Page 13 friends and family, and making your own self-care a high priority If it makes you feel light, happy, fulfilled and relaxed, it as often as possible! 2) Open gateways for prosperity to enter your life Are you doing everything you can to help the universe send more money your way? Or are you disallowing abundance by refusing to take action? The universe can find many ways to boost your abundance, but it can so much more easily if YOU take action to invite greater opportunities! Possible action steps might include: applying for a better paying job, buying a lottery ticket, networking with successful people, sharing your talents and skills with the world, and anything else that will create an opening for abundance to enter your life Most importantly, these things without attaching rigid expectations to them Instead, allow the actions themselves to be fun and enjoyable Do them because you enjoy doing them, without expecting them to pay off in any other way When you this, you are ―allowing‖ lots of great things into your life – including money and abundance in many forms 3) Don’t worry about the “how” You may be so used to trying to figure everything out on our own that it can be hard to detach from wondering ―how‖ abundance will come to you Don’t try to brainstorm money-making activities or focus obsessively on how to bring in more money Instead, let the universe work on your behalf Decide how much money you’d like to have in the immediate future, and then ask the universe to lead you to the best opportunities for attracting it Not only will you discover better opportunities than you could hunt down on your own, you’ll probably enjoy them much more too! MoneyMagnetMeditations.com Page 14 These three steps may seem very simple but they hold great power because they send a strong message to the universe that you are ready, willing and open to receive greater abundance into your life – without grasping desperately at it MoneyMagnetMeditations.com Page 15 Law of Attraction Money Mistake #7 Repeatedly Living the Same Negative Conditions As you may realize by now, changing your outer financial circumstances is a direct result of changing the way you think and feel about money and abundance Not only you need to start thinking and feeling more positively about your financial state, you must also begin to change your entire perception of your life as you know it Right now, you are living from the perception of a specific reality You may not have as much money as you’d like to have; you may feel that your job isn’t secure and worry that you may lose it in the near future; you may feel that you have little opportunities to improve your financial situation, and so on It’s important to understand that these are simply perceptions of the reality you are living In other words, they are the ―truths‖ that you have created about your life But what if you could change these perceptions simply by changing your mind-set? You can! MoneyMagnetMeditations.com Page 16 Law of Attraction Think Rich Lesson #7 Living From a New, Abundant Perspective How would you think, feel and act if you had all the money you wanted?
