Thinking Easy

I always seem to have money thoughts running through my head.  Problem is, usually I’m calculating things I need to buy vs what I have to spend.  If this sounds familiar, read on.

Money, or better described as Currency, is misleading stuff for a couple of reason.  First of all, thinking of your money is an unconscious event for most of us.  We generally keep a running tally between the amount we have vs  how much we will need to pay the bills this month, and how much we’ll be making from paycheck to paycheck.  It may work, but it could be keeping you on a financial treadmill without building anything to put in the bank for yourself.

Money and The Law of Attraction are an interesting pair.  When we focus our attention on something (wanted or unwanted) (conscious or unconscious) we get the essence of that vibration.  The big picture is that when were keeping track of how much is left, in reality were worried there won’t be enough.  Lack has a funny way of hiding in the most innocent act of our mental book keeping.

Breaking this cycle is easy.  Believe it or not bills are your friend.  What does a bill mean to you?  Does it represent someone who wants money from you?  If it does, you might be interested in this exercise.  See every bill as a gift.  Say thank you to the bill when it arrives in the mail.  This bill is for services or goods you already received.  Lets take your cell phone bill.  Now I agree there are several additional charges with tax and all that, but let us look at your usage.   You were billed for something you already were able to enjoy.  That is a new spin on things, eh?  You didn’t have to pay until after you used the air time.  This wouldn’t be the case with a normal pay phone.

We need to check ourselves from time to time and think more about what it is that we’re thankful for.  We miss countless opportunities everyday to give thanks for the things we appreciate in our lives.  The easiest and simplest way that I know is to write for 10 minutes everyday on what I’m grateful for.  It really becomes a challenge to seek new things everyday, but this effort manifests as an unfolding stream of good fortune.

Try this out for a couple of weeks.  Soon you’ll find paying the bills feels good.  Money needn’t be worried about because you know there is plenty, and you’ll see it opportunities of free money everywhere.

Catchy huh?  But if you want true wealth and prosperity, your going to have to feel the burn.  Everyone I know (myself included)  desires more lean muscle mass and a healthier looking body.  But, there is a great mystery as to how to get there.  Sure you could follow the  tried and true method of working out and eating fewer empty calories, but that seems too easy.

Well, the same applies to wealth and wealth consciousness.  Everyone I know (yep, me too) desires more wealth and a healthier portfolio.

So whats up?  In both cases you have to believe you can actually do it.  So confidence is the first step.  Do affirmations, write notes to yourself or even hire a coach to keep you focused and on track.

Once your sure, and I mean certain you’re going to achieve your dream, then step two.   Act from a point of wealth consciousness.  What does this mean?  It means your not cheap!  It means you think “I always have enough money to pay for all the things I desire.”  It means, just like that perfect body needs quality foods, your wealth consciousness needs quality thoughts.

I like to use the gas station as a good example to see where clients thoughts are.  Automotive performance aside, do you buy the cheap gas because you’re saving money?  On a 20 gallon fill up, with premium gas being $0.25 more per gallon, you’d save  $5.00/tankful.  Now, do you think wealthy thinking is concerned with $5.00 per tank?  Apply this example to any purchase that you make.  Do you always go for the cheap because you believe it is saving you money?  Sometimes the less expensive items work just as well as the premium ones, but the reasoning is what differs  the wealth thinker and the poor.

As you begin to understand why cheap thinking produces a cheap lifestyle, you’ll respect money in a new way.  Foolishly wasting money will only make you a fool.  Understand that you are worthy of the finer things in life.  Beautiful cars, boats and vacation homes are created for people.  People just like you.  Why would you think anyone else has more right to wealth and riches?  Start off with small items in the beginning.  Slowly you’ll see the money just comes into your life because you’ll expect these royal treats.  Expand on this concept, and live your desires.

Flex those wealth muscles once and a while and feel the burn.  Adapting a new routine isn’t always easy, but if you keep focused and consistent, you’ll see increasing results.
