"Money never made a man happy yet, nor will it. The more a man has, the more he wants. Instead of filling a vacuum, it makes one." -Benjamin Franklin
Law of Attraction and Finances, part II.
In my most recent Ezine on Law of Attraction I discussed the workings of Law of Attraction (LOA) and finances. How can we use LOA to attract financial prosperity into our lives?
I discussed some basics about LOA and about our thoughts regarding finances.
As I was explaining, there IS a solution to the issue of "attraction of unwanted results". BUT: the solution does not lie in STOPPING to thinking negatively. You don't have to do that. That could already be major relief for some people!
You merely have to turn your thoughts back around towards what it IS you want as soon as you find they are wondering off towards what it is you DO NOT want. It's as simple as that.
Or, to put it even more profoundly: working out how to stop thinking negatively only means that you are putting more energy, attention and focus on the problem (thinking negatively)! This prolongs the negative feeling you really want to change!
Not good.
The process of turning your thoughts towards what is wanted is called pivoting or flip switching.
Our -what I call- internal GPS is the indicator as to what our point of attraction is: when we are feeling good, we are in alignment with who we truly are (call that whatever you want; I call it my "inner being", but any other name will do), and we will be attracting the good stuff, financially. That is because, as I explained previously, we are naturally attracted to "the good", to the things we want. If we feel bad, we are out of alignment, and by default we will attract some of the good stuff, and some of the stuff from the "dark side of the force"........
That internal Global Positioning System is such a powerful tool, and so useful. But mostly we curse it.....because we don't want to feel bad. Whereas "bad" is nothing more than an indicator that we're out of alignment with what we truly want. Nothing more, nothing less. There is no judgment to it, only the negative perception we give it.
Do you want to know the secret to create a life full of financial abundance, joy, prosperity, abundance in all sorts of other areas, health, love, etc?
Well, here it is: Start telling your "story" (being: whatever you consider to be your life) in a new way. Tell your story the way you want it -and therefore your life- to be.
Here's another truth: your desired state of being MUST have been created in spirit (or mind or thought, if you don't like that word) before it can be created in matter. Simple example: all the beautiful buildings we can see in the world were FIRST an idea in the architect's mind, and THEN turned into a reality. It's the same with our creations. We form them in our minds first.
Commit to telling your NEW story. Instead of how the story is right now (which keeps the same staying the same), or how it was in the past (which brings what WAS back to what IS).
Let's record some examples of how people tell their current story around money:
1. I've always had a problem with saving for later;
2. my parents never led an abundant lifestyle, so that's why I don't;
3. I'm not clever enough to run a profitable business;
4. I don't want people to like me only for my money;
5. whatever I do, I just cannot seem to get rid of my debt;
6. I am not an entrepreneur, which is why I haven't made much profit;
7. I guess a rich life is just not for me;
8. there is a maximum to what I can earn;
9. my mindset is just wrong!
10. etc. etc. etc.
I could come up with hundreds of similar examples. The point being: they all tell a story based on observation of a seeming reality.
There is this Cycle of Observation going on: observing a situation, offering a vibration based on that observation, LOA responding to the vibration, manifestation happening according to the vibration, observing a (new) situation, etc....
As long as the observations and vibrations offered are attuned to the past or current situation, then chances are likely that manifestation will occur accordingly. Guess what: nothing seems to change!
The key: offer a new vibration, one in line with a desired future reality, a yet unrealized potential. Keep that new vibration up long enough, and you WILL experience a new reality. It can not be another way.
Unless.
Unless there are factors at play out of our control, like strong influences from the collective consciousness, or forces that guide your life 's evolution and are not yours to change (I agree that there is a spiritual touch to this; are our lives pre-determined or not?). I'll write about those in another article, because they definitely play a role within LOA, and sometimes make LOA hugely misunderstood. This is where the Law of Acceptance comes in as well!
Don't turn this "unless" into an excuse, though. You will rarely find this thwarting your intention. There is lots of "free will" available.
If you are serious about increasing the chances of your financial desires actually coming true, then here are 5 Critical Ways to deliberately, and therefore successfully apply the process of flip switching or pivoting:
1. Become really aware of your daily thoughts around money. As soon as you catch yourself thinking a negative -and how do you know that? Yes, by being aware of your feelings!- tell yourself: "thank you, at least now I know what I DON'T want! What DO I want instead?" And ANSWER that question!
2. Be sure to assess your feelings making a shift towards "better" when you ponder your answer to the previous question. If that doesn't happen, not even subtly, you may want to think of something else you desire, until your feelings DO go up in vibration.
3. Learn to appreciate what you've got, even if it's not a lot! Every day, give thanks for your possessions and your positions; I use this formula: think about 5 things that went well and 5 things that you were grateful for. That creates a strong vibration that is in alignment with what you want.
4. Write down in all areas of your life, what money would do for you (in that area). Do it in two steps: what is it, and what value will it give you? This "Values Alignment" exercise will assist you realising why you do what you do in life.
5. Count all your financial blessings whenever they occur. In other words: look at where you already have what you are looking for. Each and every day we get financial windfalls, and recognising them will help raise your vibration.
Examples:
1. money found on the floor (I find lots of it!)
2. discounts you got but didn't count on
3. a tax refund
4. a two-for-one deal that saves you money
5. a win in the lottery
6. a pay-rise
7. a tip
8. extra interest on your savings account
9. a friend who shouts you a drink/meal
10. a free ride of any kind
and there are plenty more of these kind of windfalls!
Remember: it's not the quantity that counts. Five cents is worth as much vibrationally as five million dollars. Water is water, whether as a raindrop or as an ocean. If you can bring up feelings of gratitude, you're doing good!
To finish off: here are 4 Action Steps to help you get more of what you want, and less of what you don't.
Set a Landmarc:
Firstly, Always (always!) pay yourself first, and research your financial status: what money have you got where? Knowing what to do will not change you; doing what you know will.
Pay yourself 10% of whatever you earn, find, get paid, get bequeathed, get gifted, and put it into a savings account. I have a system in place for accumulating wealth. Ask me about it.
Secondly, Never say "no" to money. In other words: always say YES to money, even if you feel guilty, or think you "can't accept that". You're not getting it for nothing (!).
Thirdly, Give thanks for bills, invoices and services rendered. You are paying for something you have (had) use of. It's good to be thankful for that. Seriously, do it! Say thanks, and pay the bill with a smile.
Lastly, Become part of an accountability group. Get together once a month with a group of like minded people, and create a collective vibration geared towards increasing financial abundance. Guess what a group vibration does in terms of strength! It's massive!
Obviously, I've only been able to lift the veil on this topic. There is way more to talk about, and way more that can be done. As long as you keep in mind that your current feelings about the topic of finances are a good indicator as to what your point of attraction is, you've already won half the game. The rest of the game will be won with practice!
Until next time, go well, be well, and live well!
