Attract More Money

So today I came home to a clean house. And it felt amazing. And I didn’t have to lift a finger because I hired a bi-weekly cleaning lady. And I am so excited. This marks a very special time for my family since less than a year ago we were certainly not in a position to have this privilege. I am so grateful for the financial security. It’s feels so good. And to have this consistent help is going to be such a relief. 

Lisa and I are going to work together to keep my home looking fantastic. And since I’m big into Feng Shui, some of you may not know, this is one of the things that I needed help with. 

I’m really good at the organizing part and I believe everything has its place and so I continually work to keep fresh energy and things organized in my home but getting to the details was something I couldn't seem to get to. 

If you’ve listened to past podcasts you may recall me telling a story about when I would clean, in my brain I would say over and over, “I’m so grateful to have a cleaning lady”. It was something I wanted and for months I believed that she already existed. And now, with the power of positive thought, and giving gratitude, here she is! By focusing on what we want, we can truly manifest anything. So this is a really exciting time for me. 

It was about a year ago when I first learned how to use money as a tool to get out of a bad financial situation. My cousin Rachel actually was the one that shared her story with me and I learned to think I differently about money so that I could begin to attract money. 

Money is a funny thing. Even since learning to use it as a tool I still need to work on training my brain to think differently about money. Our thoughts play such a huge role in our response and relationship to it. It’s really crazy. And even the way we were raised surrounding money can have a larger impact than we realize. 

So I want to give you an exercise that you can practice as often as you think to, one that I’ve been doing in my life for about a year now, every day and it helped me to attract money. 4 times as much money as I was making. Because while it’s not about the money, it’s not about struggling to make ends meet. It’s about living happily, healthfully and comfortably. And that abundance and financial security can exist for all of us. 

So you’re going to start by paying attention to when your brain says things like “that’s too expensive” or “I can’t afford that” or “how much is that” with a feeling of anxiousness.  As soon as you think a negative thought about money, I want you to replace it with, “I can afford that easily” or “that’s all” in regards to a high priced item that you might be initially thinking “I could never afford that”. 

It’s training your brain to replace that negative thought with a positive thought. 

By replacing our negative thought about money with a positive one, and when we do this every time a negative thought about money comes up, pretty soon you’ll be thinking differently about money because you’ll begin to see more money.  And that can happen when you believe that you deserve beautiful things and you tell yourself you can easily afford something. This is the law of attraction. It works to bring that to you. 

Ending with a quote from The Secret, which is both a documentary and a book I highly recommend reading. This book really made a huge impact on my life back in 2006 when I first read it.

"To attract money, focus on wealth.  It is impossible to bring more money into your life when you focus on the lack of it."
