Be Okay With Money Flowing OUT
Written by Jerry on July 26, 2009 – 5:37 pm -Not only should you focus on attracting more money to flow IN, it’s also just as important to alter your thoughts and feelings about the money you spend. Think for a moment about how you view spending right now. Do you avoid spending money because you’re afraid you won’t have enough to cover your bills each month? Do you spend TOO MUCH to pacify an emotional need? Do you feel resentful about the money you send to your landlord or mortgage company, creditors and service suppliers?
The way you view spending can have a dramatic impact on your overall level of abundance. If you have unhealthy spending habits (whether excessive spending or excessive scrimping), you are effectively blocking more money from coming into your life.
Think about that for a moment. If you resent sending money to people and companies that have loaned you money or provided services to you, you are attracting more opportunities to resent sending money out! If you spend recklessly in order to fill an emotional need, you are attracting more emotional emptiness that you’ll have to try to fill! If you are afraid to spend money because you are afraid you won’t have enough money to cover your basic expenses, you will simply attract more situations where you don’t have enough!
It sounds overly simple, but it really does work that way where the Law of Attraction is concerned.
So what IS a healthy spending attitude?
Quite simply, you want to strike a healthy balance between spending confidently yet responsibly, while always knowing that you have more than enough money coming in. You don’t want to spend excessively, but you don’t want to restrict your spending unnecessarily either.
This does take practice to master and it can seem overwhelming at times – especially if you have had unhealthy spending habits for any length of time.
However, turning them around is fairly simple with a little conscious awareness. Here’s how to start:
- Begin appreciating the people and companies you send money to each month. Flow deep feelings of appreciation to your mortgage company or landlord when you write out your monthly check to them. In your heart thank them for helping to put a stable roof over your head, and affirm that you are glad to send money to them for that gift. Do the same when you write checks to service suppliers like the electric company, gas company, oil company, cable television, internet provider, and so on. Take a moment to reflect on how grateful you are to enjoy the luxury of these services (for they are indeed luxuries that many people don’t have), and affirm that you are grateful for the opportunity to pay for these luxuries each month. Do this same thing when you pay for repairs and maintenanance on your home and vehicle too!
- Share money with others. Even if you are in severe financial shortage right now, begin giving some money to charitable organizations – even if it’s only $1.00 per month! When you give that money, feel grateful and happy that you have more than enough to share with others. This may seem like it would be depressing – but it is depressing ONLY if you focus on the fact that you can’t afford to give more. If you instead focus on the positive and affirm that your money is going to a worthwhile cause, you can’t help but feel GOOD about that, and end up attracting back more money.
- Spend money confidently when necessary.
Have you ever avoided buying something that you really needed because you were trying to restrict your spending? It’s one thing to restrict unnecessary spending, but quite another to avoid buying things you really need! The message you send to the universe when you do this is one that you do NOT want to be mirrored back in your life: that you don’t have enough money for everything you need. It’s no big surprise why you don’t have enough money for everything you need if you regularly avoid spending with this mind-set! To turn this around, simply spend your money when you need to, and affirm confidently that the universe will make it all come out okay. This takes a big leap of faith sometimes, but true miracles can happen when you do it.
In short, you want to gradually get yourself into the state of mind where spending is okay because you know you will always have more money flowing in. That doesn’t mean you should max out your credit cards and buy a bunch of things you don’t really need – that just creates more problems down the road. But little by little convince yourself that you don’t have to pinch pennies because more money is coming to you soon – and you’ll be surprised to see that the more you believe this, the more often it ends up being absolutely true!
Never Stop Exploring Life!
