I'll always be struggling to make ends meet
I'll never be able to dig myself out of this hole
I'll have to borrow from my family and face humiliation
I'm going to lose everything
I'll always be on this treadmill
I can't see a way out
It's hopeless
Thoughts like these are actually offshoots of a core belief about money that is rooted in LIMITATION.
This thought system is part of a collective belief about where money comes from (external sources like a parent, a spouse, a job, or government program).
And while money certainly does get transferred to you from these places, they are only avenues through which revenue flows.
The true source of your prosperity is your connection to something that goes beyond the understanding of the left hemisphere of the brain.
I'm talking about your capacity for endless creative ideas and solutions as well as your ability for simultaneous thinking.
Life existed before the invention of green slips of paper and hard metal discs!
And yet this confusion about source is so common that you may not even be aware it's operating as part of your psyche.
How?
Pay attention to the horse!! The minute you feel distressed, do this:
1. ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR FEAR.
Don't try to control your thoughts. Don't try to overcome your fear. This is like trying to corner a terrified horse. Instead, ALLOW the fear to be there. Make some room for it. BREATHE. Welcome it like you would a cherished friend. Then say, "I'm afraid." Sit with the truth of this. Then add, "My thoughts about money are scaring me."
2. CONNECT WITH THE PRESENT.
There really isn't a lion lurking in the shadows. It's just the mind, going back to the PAST in search of evidence to support your money fear or jumping to the FUTURE to show you all the horrors that await you (you'll end up on the street!) No wonder that horse is so scared.
By breathing and connecting to the PRESENT you'll have to admit that you're really okay in this moment and once you do, you'll be able to start leading from a place of wisdom, not worry.
It's okay, honey. I'm here.
You don't have to do one single thing for the next 10 minutes.
If you need me to, I'll cancel everything today so we can work this out.
You can handle this moment and you don't have to handle anything else.
Let's not forget that we're not alone.
A greater intelligence will guide us.
We don't have to know HOW, we just have to know that a solution is possible.
Just please don't ever see yourself as helpless. You're capable of so much more than you think you are.
Don't believe False Fear.
You're not a victim, my Lovely.
You're a creator. And the world needs you now more than ever.
Sending you so much love,
