Manifest Your Dreams…
Many of us have heard of The Law Of
Attraction. I watched the movie years ago, was motivated to give it a
go, and then forgot all about it. I’m not convinced that this will
magically turn all my dreams into a reality, but I’m also not
convinced that it wont.
When I think of money, I think of
horrible, old men, in old fashioned lawyers wigs (you know, the
curly, long white wigs, and no, I have no idea why), and maybe that’s
part of the problem. With negative associations with money, possibly
I’m subconsciously repelling it from me. How can I attract something
into my life that I have an aversion to?
I’m working on this. Associating money
with panicked feelings of lack, are only going to perpetuate more bad
feelings towards it. Now when I think of money, I consciously think
of it with gratitude and positivity. I think of all the good things
it can do for me, instead of focusing on what it’s like to not have
enough of it.
I have fairly decent sized debt I’m
focusing on paying off and there’s this tiny little thing I really
want (a houseboat!). My goal is to tackle the debt first, then save
for the boat. I’ve been reading a lot of financial books and it’s
helping keep me motivated. They all say to stop buying crap you don’t
need (guilty, guilty, guilty). I’m fully aware I do this, but after a
few months I fall back on bad habits. Hobbies are a huge problem for
me. If I get interested in something I’ll buy a ton of stuff for said
hobby and then a few months later I’ll be bored of it. I’m going to
need to read financial books until the day I pay my debt off
completely. I’m OK with that.
Instead of using stuff, I’m focusing on
experiences and being in the moment, to make me happy. Acquiring
things has only ever made me temporarily happy (and cluttered up my
home). I look forward to being free of debt and enjoying living my
best life.
