Abundance: Believe It To See It
January 16, 2013 - Author: KishaLynn ElliottLack-consciousness can happen to the best of us. Even a life coach who’s message is This Stuff’s Working! can suffer a moment of weakness upon taking a look at the financial outlook and go “Who am I kidding? There’s not enough!” One can only hope that in that moment, if and when it reaches you, that you are strong enough and smart enough to do what this life coach did–go get coached! Yes, I ran to my life coach like rain from a rooftop. I laid it all out to her, and to myself, saying the things I had been thinking and feeling but resisting believing as much as I could.
Without revealing my life coach’s entire technique and process (Sorry, you’ll have to get your own life coach. Here’s another good one. ) what it basically came down to is her saying something like this (and I hope she doesn’t mind me paraphrasing): “What got to you? Who said or did something that made you waver in your belief that abundance simply IS?”
Wow.
As I thought about it, found and shared the answer, I could already feel myself returning to the right path: What is MY truth about financial abundance? Here I was totally surrendered to lack and fear and resistance–and totally pushing money further away from me in the process. It was the Law of Attraction in action. This Stuff’s Working!–against me.
By the end of the session, my reset button had been pushed. My attitude and my energy towards money shifted and I felt myself right back in alignment with my Desire–to make tons of money as a life coach, a speaker and an author. Even though nothing had physically changed in my bank account, at that moment my BELIEF was back. That’s what matters MORE THAN ANYTHING. I could SEE financial abundance again.
The next morning I picked up the phone, did a Life Upgrade Strategy Session and enrolled a client–a paying client. THIS STUFF’S WORKING!–for me.
What it all comes down to is this–what are your beliefs about financial abundance? You might not be able to snap your fingers and make money appear (unless you’re quite an impressive street performer). However, the money you don’t have is an outstanding Resource. You don’t have it yet and you cannot change that by focusing on its absence. But you can change your thoughts about money, your feelings about it, your reaction to it and your beliefs about it. You must. Changing those things which lie within your power and control will change what you DO about it. Once you start doing, guess what? Money shows up. Why? Because it was already there, just waiting for you to believe in it, to create the space for it, to see it, to welcome it and to be grateful for it.
After my session with my life coach, I had some homework that gave me a chance to reflect and return to my true beliefs about financial abundance. Here we’re a few of mine. Try some of these on for size and see if they change your perspective, your beliefs, your feelings, your thoughts, and your actions:
- The money I am making is enough and I am grateful for it.
- Money comes easily, frequently, and in ever-increasing amounts.
- There is more than enough for me AND for others.
- I AM rich and will only get richer.
- I can be both wise and generous with money.
- Money, I love you. You’re sexy, you turn me on, and we look DAMNED GOOD together. đ
So, what are your beliefs about financial abundance?
I encourage you to do the same work of thinking through and writing yours down. Once you are firmly resolved in them-don’t let anyone or anything get to you. Carve them into your mind and heart like the image above. Then, guard them like you’d guard your life, your loved ones…your actual money.
NOTE: There is more to life and more to abundance than money. PLEASE understand that and know that I do as well.
