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.
