Abstract

Money Worries:</h2><p id="7d1a">Money can be one of my best friends. Money is one of the easiest things to demonstrate. That statement usually makes us feel angry. Especially if we are having money worries. Our beliefs about money are so ingrained that it’s hard to talk about them without a lot of emotion coming up. It’s much easier to teach a workshop on sex than on money. We get very angry when our money patterns are challenged. Be aware of how you feel about money. You could look into a mirror and say to yourself, “ my biggest worry concerning money is — “. And then relax and let the feelings come up. Maybe you will hear; “ I cannot take care of myself”, or, “I will turn out poor just like Dad, “ I will starve and become a bad lady”, or, “ I just don’t trust myself.” Listen to what comes and write it down. You might find yourself saying: <b>“Wow, look at what I believe! No wonder I am not having the prosperity I want.” Become aware of what belief is blocking the flow of money.</b> Then begin to change the beliefs. Instead of running the thought that, “ I’m going to starve,” I can begin to love myself with new thoughts such as “I am safe in the universe. Everything I need is provided. I now allow myself to earn a good income.”</p><p id="70f1"><b><i>Affirmation for the word “Money Worries” In the Book “Meditations to heal your lif<a href="https://www.louisehay.com/">e” by Louise L Hay</a></i></b></p><div id="1d2f" class="link-block"> <a href="https://www.louisehay.com/"> <div> <div> <h2>Louise Hay - Official Website of Author Louise Hay</h2> <div><h3>Hello Dear Friend, this is a special place to share Louise's journey, and affirmations, and encourage you to create joy in…</h3></div> <div><p>www.louisehay.com</p></div> </div> <div> <div style="background-image: url(https://miro.readmedium.com/v2/resize:fit:320/0*4mLYVLK_GPAAIMHi)"></div> </div> </div> </a> </div><h2 id="27f2">How am I being benefitted by saying the above affirmation?</h2><p id="0713">I have realized that by saying the above affirmation consistently, my subconscious mind is programmed with</p><p id="6d68">Thoughts of, solution, confidence, gratitude, and abundance.</p><p id="f4a2"><b>Instead Of</b></p><p id="3546">Thoughts of Problems, worry, ungraciousness and s

Your Self-Talk about money matters

I practice a few rituals in the morning that help me integrate and live my BEM (Body, Mind, and Emotions) model. One such ritual is saying Affirmations. I have observed that by saying Affirmations loudly in front of the mirror, I get to see myself, hear my voice, watch my body language and feel my feelings. To me, it serves as perfect coordination of how I am physically showing up, emotionally feeling, and mentally present to what I am affirming.

I started saying affirmations several years back when I lost my job and embraced self-employment as a blessing in disguise. Saying these affirmations have tremendously helped me move through major life transformations from mother to empty nester to mother-in-law to grandmother smoothly. In the professional arena, saying affirmations have helped me be determined with grit and gratitude when expectations are not met.

In the following article, I shared how saying an affirmation from Louise Hay’s book “Meditations To Heal Your Life” describing the word “Spiritual Growth” helped me

Stop playing the victim role or feeling self-pity or playing the blame game.

Start loving myself and forgive others.

As we desire to spend money during the coming Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays, it is quite normal to be inundated with money worries. Added to this is fear caused by the news of the approaching Recession.

I invite you to read the following quoted affirmation titled “Money Worries” from the book “Meditations to heal your life” by Louise L Hay with me in front of the mirror.

As you do, please be kind to yourself. Please become aware of your thoughts, feelings, and any bodily sensations with a reverential curiosity:

Money Worries:

Money can be one of my best friends. Money is one of the easiest things to demonstrate. That statement usually makes us feel angry. Especially if we are having money worries. Our beliefs about money are so ingrained that it’s hard to talk about them without a lot of emotion coming up. It’s much easier to teach a workshop on sex than on money. We get very angry when our money patterns are challenged. Be aware of how you feel about money. You could look into a mirror and say to yourself, “ my biggest worry concerning money is — “. And then relax and let the feelings come up. Maybe you will hear; “ I cannot take care of myself”, or, “I will turn out poor just like Dad, “ I will starve and become a bad lady”, or, “ I just don’t trust myself.” Listen to what comes and write it down. You might find yourself saying: “Wow, look at what I believe! No wonder I am not having the prosperity I want.” Become aware of what belief is blocking the flow of money. Then begin to change the beliefs. Instead of running the thought that, “ I’m going to starve,” I can begin to love myself with new thoughts such as “I am safe in the universe. Everything I need is provided. I now allow myself to earn a good income.”

You may ask how?

Let me give you an example. When I see the decline in the Returns in my Stock Portfolio, I don’t get as nervous, worried, or Problem-focused as I used to be before consistently saying these affirmations. However, after consistently saying these affirmations ( I guess as per the programming in my new thinking pattern), I look for the Dividends earned during the period, demonstrating my ability to look for solutions and feel confident not just for the sake of it, but deeply feeling so.

I thank and love myself for working on my mind, body, and spirit by saying these powerful affirmations, demonstrating my ability to stay in a state of gratitude and abundance. I thank the Financial Institution, the Dividend itself, and my initial decision to reinvest my Dividends. Temporarily there may be a decline in the rate of return. By choosing to Reinvest the Dividend, I am organically buying that stock at a low price, which I may not feel like doing so with the new money.

By doing the above acts, I can think clearly and take steps to learn more about each Stock or Mutual Fund’s performance. Then sell or buy or hold the investment at an appropriate time.

Wow! I feel so great and happy to have described the benefit of a very small part of my morning ritual. Thank you for reading and I hope you too benefitted from reading this article.
