Now, my mother usually opens anything that seems important, but sometimes you just can\u2019t tell what certain things are, and I went through the pile myself to be sure I didn\u2019t miss anything.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Lots of offers for car financing, credit cards, and other sorts of junk\u2014but then I happened upon something quite interesting. There was a check for almost 400 dollars reimbursing me for some credit card monitoring service I had used on an account I probably opened at least a decade ago, and closed out about five years ago. Apparently, the company they were using wasn\u2019t providing the service to everyone paying for it, and Citibank was refunding the fees. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">After feeling cranky and exhausted from 25 hours of traveling, this really gave me a pep in my step. What makes this example so poignant from an attraction-perspective is it perfectly illustrates that we have <strong><em>absolutely no idea<\/em><\/strong> the countless ways money can come to us, and our puny brains simply cannot comprehend infinite possibilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">The first time I seriously started working with LOA on a consistent basis was during a time of severe financial strain, so <strong><em>I<\/em><\/strong> <strong><em>know what it is like<\/em><\/strong> to really feel the pressure of lack of money. \u00a0I went from literally living off credit cards to attracting three lucrative freelance writing jobs all in the same week, which led to me making more money than I ever had, so I have seen firsthand what is possible when we can get our mind right.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">It can be a bit of an uphill battle, but it is always possible to change our energy, perceptions and beliefs no matter what is happening right now. We have to make a choice, plain and simple. \u00a0Over the years, I have gotten better at manifesting money. I also know I still have my \u2018money stuff\u2019 like other people, and I am chipping away at it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Here are a few tidbits to help with your money manifestations that really helped me.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Remember that No Matter What, You are after a Feeling<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">This is something I have said many times when writing about law of attraction, and the reason I bring it up a lot is two-fold.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">First, lots of people mistakenly focus just on their thoughts, all the while feeling like crap, and then get disappointed when they don\u2019t seem to be making any progress. While thoughts are certainly an important part of the equation, we <strong><em>attract based on what we feel<\/em><\/strong>, and if we don\u2019t feel good, all the affirmations and happy thoughts in the world won\u2019t do jack unless we manage to build some momentum on the level of emotion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Second, no matter what it is you want, you are after a feeling. No matter what it is we want in life, we want it because we think it will make us feel good in some way. That is all we really want..to be freaking happy, to feel good.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Sure, you want money to pay your bills, take a vacation and do all this other stuff, but ultimately, you want it because having it will give you certain desirable feelings. You want to feel the peace that comes with financial security; you want to feel the excitement, fulfillment and all the other awesome feelings you would experience with doing the things that the money would allow you to do. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">So, if we attract based on feeling, we have to start feeling better even in the absence of the money in our present reality, and we have to figure out what feelings we are hoping to cultivate with the acquisition of money and start finding a way to feel them <strong><em>now.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Because money has such a strong pull on us, and impacts so many aspects of our lives, the idea of trying to feel good in the face of unpaid bills, frustrations that come with not having the money to do what we want to do, and what have you, can seem like an impossible task.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">\u00a0It is very easy to justify feeling badly, and while it is certainly understandable, this is not an excuse. We need to shift our feelings in the moment, <strong><em>we don\u2019t have any other choice<\/em><\/strong>. You have to be willing to let go of the story of your current reality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">When my sudden loss of income had me living off credit cards, believe you me, I felt stressed and panicked like nobody\u2019s business. But, I knew I had to work on feeling better to become a match to the money I so wanted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">The great thing about being after a feeling is we can conjure it up <strong><em>anytime<\/em><\/strong> we want, regardless of what is happening now. What feelings are you seeking? How can you feel that way now? What can you focus on in your present reality that makes you feel abundant? Even though I wasn\u2019t thrilled I was literally living off credit cards, I shifted perspective, and developed a sense of appreciation for having them as an option. I focused on the sense of security I felt from having my rent paid for the month, and knowing I could buy food and was not going to starve.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Ultimately, you don\u2019t need money to create certain types of feelings, and you can create them now. What can you do now that gives you a greater sense of freedom? Perhaps it is learning to say no more, being more selective with how you spend your time, or scaling back on commitments. What can you do to feel fulfilled now? Maybe it is doing some sort of volunteer work, or making time for a hobby.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">When you get into these feelings now, you will make the very helpful realization money is not the end all be all to your happiness\u2014sure, it gives us more options and more freedom, and it surely can reduce stress.\u00a0 But as the ultimate key to happiness, no way. Nothing outside of us, including money, can ever make us truly happy. \u00a0When I went from that dire money situation to being flush with cash, my stress alleviated considerably, and I did feel a hell of a lot better. But, if I had to assess its impact on my level of true happiness, it really didn\u2019t do much for that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">\u00a0Money troubles consume us, and we often refuse to feel better, pointing out all the reasons why our situation sucks right now. But, you can\u2019t keep doing it. Sure, you\u2019ll have your moments, we all do. But, you have to start finding ways to feel better now, and this will open the door for more money. Trust me.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Be Willing to Shift Perspective on Financial Problems<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Because of the importance of money in our life, financial troubles really do a number on us. We stress about it in a way we do few other things in our experience. Back in the day, when we were being chased by giant creatures that wanted to eat us, we experienced all sorts of stress \u2014we got into fight or flight and engaged in a battle for our life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">These responses have remained with us, but in these modern times, are being triggered by very different things, things that are hardly life-threatening. And, while we may not realize it on a conscious level, that stress response invokes some sort of fear we are in actual danger, that we may suffer great harm or die.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">And because money triggers us so often, we are experiencing this sense of danger on a pretty frequent basis. We see money problems as being the end of the world. But, we are not going to die from an unpaid bill or getting a ding to our credit score. No one is going to come and kill us for being past due on our Visa bill.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">I\u2019ll bet a bunch of you reading this are arguing this point with me right now in that beautiful head of yours, but remember what I said earlier about us attracting based on what we feel and believe. So, if you really want to improve your financial situation as quickly and painlessly as possible, you need to start shifting your belief that money trouble is the worst thing that can happen to you, that some horrible fate will befall you if get behind on your payments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">You can choose not to direct every ounce of mental energy towards your money problems\u2014I\u2019m not saying it is easy, because it always isn\u2019t. But, it is an option available to us, and the path of least resistance to solving this exact problem of lack of money.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">I realized that I could choose not to worry about my mounting debt that came from using my credit cards\u2014it certainly wasn\u2019t going to kill me. When I started making money again, I paid it off. I realized I could choose to focus on the fact that my needs were being taken care of\u2014even if not in the most ideal way\u2014and not that I currently had no income.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">If you are short on cash for your bills, focus on what is being paid, and not what isn\u2019t. If you have a place to live, and food to eat, you are safe-you are not going to die on the streets.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">What Changes Can You Make Now to Start Feeling Better about Money?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">In my last LOA post, I talked in more general terms about what practical steps we can take to start feeling better about our lives as they are now because this will help us tremendously in genuinely shifting our energy, and giving less attention to the limiting beliefs that may have contributed to our situation as it stands now. And, I used money as an example, so this is a bit of repeat. But, some people may not have read that post, and for those of you that did, and are working on money manifestations, it probably wouldn\u2019t hurt to be reminded again of how helpful this can be.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">We have a lot of weird energy around money, and because of the emotional strain, it can be really hard to separate ourselves from our current financial reality. Anything we can do to ease our money stress is helpful in the attraction process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">So, what changes can you make in your life right now that would make you feel better about your financial situation? Is your lack of a savings account gnawing at you? What could you do to start padding it a bit more? Are you using your credit cards a bit too liberally, when you should really be using cash? Do you have any expenses now that you can eliminate or reduce? Is it high time for a budget? Could you start cooking at home more rather than eating out five nights a week?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Now, because we attract based on feeling, and not action, you wouldn\u2019t actually have to do any of these things to start attracting more money, but most of us aren\u2019t able to make such a giant leap in the face of financial issues. The limiting beliefs around money are just too strong, and will need to be worked on; you won\u2019t be able to shift perspective immediately. Don\u2019t worry, by making budgets and what have you, you are not sending a message to the good old universe that you don\u2019t think you can get more money\u2014these things will make you feel better, and the better you feel, the more easily money can come to you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Be Willing to Concede You Can\u2019t Possibly Conceive of All the Channels of Delivery<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">As my manifestation story illustrates, we cannot possibly figure out all the ways we can get money. Had I been given a thousand guesses, I never would have come up with that scenario. Manifesting money is like manifesting anything else\u2014the only thing that makes it more challenging is the boatload of resistance we have around it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">You may think right now the only way to get more money is to get a raise at your job which isn\u2019t likely to happen, or getting a better job, which doesn\u2019t seem likely because of the bad economy, lack of education or whatever. \u00a0So, you conclude there is no other way you can get money.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">But, there are infinite ways you can get more money. And, remember, attraction is all about how we feel, so all you need to do to shift energy dramatically is be willing to concede there are infinite ways money can come to you, even if you can\u2019t see them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">This simple acknowledgement is extremely powerful in that it creates a sense of relief, and this is one of the best feelings to cultivate from an attraction-perspective. Make it a conscious effort to think this thought, and really tune into the feeling that comes with it..that lightness, that sense that everything will be okay.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Think of all the awesome things you may have manifested already, things that came to you out of nowhere, in ways you could not have anticipated, and realize that can happen with money as well, if we are willing to make some space for that trust. You have no idea what inspirations will come to you, what solutions will present themselves, what people you will meet and what opportunities will arise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">After months of not seeing any promising freelance work, I never would have guessed I would see three great opportunities in the same week, and get hired for all of them on top of it\u2026after months of struggle, my money suffering ended within a matter of days. It can really happen that quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Don\u2019t underestimate the power of simply admitting there is something beyond you that is much more skilled at getting shit done..it can create a huge shift.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">In Closing\u2026<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">I know that manifesting money can seem really hard, and I know what it feels like to do it from a space where things appear pretty bleak. But, that very experience has shown me what is possible when we commit to shifting our mindset, and are willing to do our best to ignore what our present reality is showing us.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Remember our experience is simply a mirror of what is happening within, and your money situation is no exception. Once you start making that shift internally, your outside experience has no choice but to shift along with it. That is how attraction works. No matter what your financial situation is like right now, it can get better. No matter how certain you are that money can only come to you through certain channels, you are wrong, plain and simple. \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Stop making money so special, and start regarding it as a form of energy and nothing else\u2014when seen from this perspective, it is easier to start lining up energetically in a way that makes it flow into your experience. You are a powerful creator, and no aspect of life is out of your reach when it comes to tapping into this power.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Your Turn\u2026<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">What did you think of this post?
