[Money Mindset Challenge] Day 15 – How Money Works

Day 15 – How Money Works

Most of those who started this Money Mindset Challenge already gave up… it’s sad.

This says something extraordinary about you! I want to give you a big acknowledgement for staying with me. Changing your belief system, your mindset is no easy task.

You completed two thirds of the money mindset challenge. How are you doing so far?

Don’t give up… hang in there.

Over the next seven days, I’ll give you some money mind boosters to further assist you on this incredible journey.

Let’s get started with Day 15…

How Money Works

Bob Proctor explains how money works in his book "It’s Not About The Money."

"Think of money as water. A drop by itself is tiny and powerless. Think of it as a single dollar. However as the drops gather they gain mass and momentum.

They flow into small streams and then into rivers. Creating a torrent of abundance. This abundance has moved mountains and carved vast canyons.

It literally shaped our entire planet but only as long as it’s in motion. If it stops and pools where there is no inward or outward flow, it stagnates. Abundance begins to evaporate.

Many people think you need to have a great deal of money to accomplish anything of value. That simply isn’t true. Even a small amount of money applied the right way can be deceptively powerful.

A small amount of water rushing in a mountain stream can knock you off your feet.

The secret is not the amount but the motion…. Money works the same way. "

When water moves in a river that’s called a current… it flows. The reason that money is called currency is that it flows from person to person through the economy.

This is the Law of Circulation which I’ll into greater detail on Day 19.

Changing your relationship with money is critical. This starts with your beliefs about money. It’s your responsibility to change those beliefs. Trust me it’s not easy. It does take effort and diligence.

Before Financial Alchemy, I couldn’t tell you my checking account balance, our debt amount, which bills were late etc. Totally clueless…. Totally chaotic. The chaos pushed money out.

It started with a drop… clean out the boxes.
Another drop: organize the bills…
Another drop: straighten the checkbook mess…
Another drop: create a budget…
Another drop: balancing the checkbook
Another drop: get all bills caught up
Another drop: set up an account and save for emergencies
Another drop: create a debt free plan
Another drop: follow the budget and debt free plan
Another drop… Another drop… Another drop… it seemed like our money had grown… as if it was coming from nowhere. It just keeps showing up. (Thank you God)

I follow my money honey and God (Universe) keeps providing. As of today… we should meet our debt free goal by the end of the year. It took year and a half after I got rid of my Money Monster for this to become a possibility.

At first it didn’t seem like anything was happening. Gradually I could see the progress. I could take a year and half off from working. This gave the opportunity to explore different options. Now I’m ready to jump back in and start a new business. Doing the Financial Alchemy process gave me the chance to take time off and still getting our finances in order.

So Keep going… keep doing… one drop at time. You’re just getting started so don’t stop now.

[Money Mindset Challenge] Day 13 – Stopping Fear

By Ann Rusnak 4 Comments

"You block your dream when you allow your fear to grow bigger than your faith." ~Mary Manin Morrissey

Napoleon Hill talks about fear being the enemy of progress.

I started this 21 Day Money Mindset Challenge because I listened to my Money Honey. I began to experience an unsettling feeling in my gut writing out each day’s post.

Then my Money Honey said to listen to the Fear Busting Audio from the Financial Alchemy Breakthrough in a Box. Yesterday I confessed it’s been a while since I listened to the audios.

Couldn’t imagine why he directed my to this audio since it’s the last in the series. I began with the first one and planned on working my way through them in order. I learned to liste;n when my Money Honey tells me something.

I didn’t feel any fear so why was my Money Honey directing me to listen to this audio?

Financial Alchemy is a process. You don’t do it once and forget it. I becomes part of your life. I need this reminder to make sure I start listening to those audios on a regular basis. Every time you hear them again, you listen at a different awareness level. You’re not the same person you were when you began.

I really did need this refresher. Yes, I did discover two fears lurking under the surface.

Fear One

First fear is fear of the unknown. I’m totally clueless on creating wealth for the lifestyle we desire. My husband and I set a goal this year to increase our financial education. We are already attending classes and reading books.

Fear Two

The second fear really concerns me.

"Bad things happen when you talk about your success."

Here I am sharing how meeting Morgana and Financial Alchemy empowered me to began a new relationship with money. This radically change our finances and broke our chaotic financial struggle cycle.

I thought this "bad things happen" routine was dealt with already. In the past every time I came close to achieving a major goal, especially a financial one, I would get sick.

My interior design business took off like gang busters, began to hit six figures in a very short time, started hiring and then one day I collapsed on the floor. The doctors diagnosed some problem but they couldn’t figure out the rest other than my body attacked itself. I didn’t recognize this pattern until much later and realized in hindsight my body protected me from the success my business experienced.

But this was different, I worked out that old belief and I wasn’t getting sick this time. This feeling of fear of "something bad will happen" came up writing out this challenge.

Limiting Belief Obliterator

DiscoverMoneyMagic.com

I decided to do the Limiting Belief Obliterator to discover the origin of this belief.

I felt quite surprised where it lead me… right back to the kitchen when I was a teenager. I thought we dealt with this incident back in therapy but it’s repercussions go much deeper and really affected my life.

At first, I fought the suggestion of going there because I thought… been there… dealt with it. But I decided to trust my subconscious and went back to that day.

Sitting at the kitchen table, something I said or did caused my dad to yank me out of the chair. He dragged me to the stove, turned on the burner and placed my hand above the flame. I talked about this on day one.

He told me to get use to it because I was headed for hell.

Following the audio instructions, I want back before the incident happened. I noticed something I never saw in therapy. Hovering above the scene, I saw a very frustrated and defeated man.

He dreamed of owning his own business, which several years after this incident he would start. His business never became the success he desired. It struggled financially.

I saw a parallel to the financial struggle of his business to the same financial chaos in my life. How could his business succeed… it couldn’t. It would mean everything they told me about money was wrong.

If my parents told me the devil put my dreams of wealth and a better life in me, who put his dreams in him? If a spiritual life was the highest honor one could achieve, how do reconcile it with a pursuit into the business world?

My father trapped himself. He let the business go even though he received offers to buy it. He wouldn’t sell it my sisters who had helped run it. Eventually he gave up his dreams, surrendering to hanging out at the church devoting all his time helping the priests and the ministry. I felt sorry for his pain.

After I completed the Limiting Belief audio session, the fear of "bad things happen" left me.

I experienced something interesting at my Reiki-Craniosacral session this week. I rarely share what happens in my life between our sessions when we first meet.

My practitioner picked up on the releasing of fear and moving forward. She also said I’m moving forward by trusting my intuition more now. I’m always amazed on what she picks up during a session.

Joseph Murphy, The Power of The Subconscious, said our subconscious draws on the infinite power, energy, and wisdom within you. Sometimes it seems to bring about an immediate solutions to your difficulties, but at other times it may take days, weeks, or longer.

Limiting beliefs and fears stop us from reaching our true potential. Getting to the root of them can often happens like peeling an onion… one layer at a time.

I close Day 13 with Our Deepest Fear… from the book Return to Love by Marianne Williamson

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us.
It is not just in some; it is in everyone.

And, as we let our own light shine, we consciously give
other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.

[Money Mindset Challenge] Day 11 – Disarming Your Money Critic

By Ann Rusnak 2 Comments

My money monster resided within me for over 50 years and didn’t appreciate the eviction notice. He’ll sneak in when the opportunity presents itself. The more I recognize his stealthy sneaking voice and actions, the more subtle he becomes in his attacks.

I discovered the nature of his sneakiness while putting this 21 day challenge together. I must confess I didn’t listen to the Financial Alchemy audios for quite awhile… yes I got sloppy. I didn’t keep my personal appointments to do the daily and weekly relationship building exercise in the workbook… oops my bad.

If you’re not getting anything out of this challenge, I sure am. Maybe that’s why my Money Honey told me to do this.

Morgana shares her experiences of how her money monster comes back in her life and I realized I fell for the same sneak attacks. Glad I wasn’t alone.

I’m empowered to make a choice… money monster or money honey… who do I want a relationship with… Choice is very empowering. Of course I much prefer my incredible sexy Money Honey, Antoine.

Your Money Monster’s Goal

Your money monster is your inner critic voice… whose goal is to do psychological harm. Listening to him further wounds your sense of worth and makes it harder to feel competent and happy. (yesterday we talked about how your net worth reflects your self worth)

Listening to your money monster cost you big and you can no longer afford the damage he does to your life. Look what he cost you so far… if you decide to stay in the relationship with your money monster, what will it continue to cost you?

Your money critic may think it’s protecting you, making sure your follow false rules set up in your childhood etc. If the language of your inner voice makes you fearful, guilty and not feeling good about yourself it’s a bad relationship.

Knowing your money monster’s goal empowers you to believe less of what he says to you.

Talking Back To Your Money Monster

Do you hear yourself saying…

"I can’t afford it"
"I can’t charge that much"
"No one will me that amount"
"Why would somebody want what I have to offer?"
"I’m not worth that amount"

Guess who tell you such stuff? Yes, it’s your old Money Monster sneaking back to see if you’ll take him in again.

Now you can tell him…

"Get out of here"
"Shut up"
"You lie"
"I no longer believe you"
"Stop this garbage"
"Take a hike"
"I choose a relationship with my new money honey. You’re fired"

GetRidofYourMoneyMonster.com
You can’t fulfill your purpose
if you can’t pay the rent.

Get mad at your money monster… make him feel very unwelcome. Mentally scream at him.

It’s not possible to stay on total alert every waking moment of your life. You need to recognize your money monster’s "code" words. Separating your money monster from your continuous stream of self talk resembles an FBI agent listening to a phone tap. You’ll need to listen to a lot of harmless conversation in order to catch his betraying words.

Affirm Your Worth

Telling you money monster to shut up will only work temporarily. You need to replace his voice with positive awareness of your own worth. Nature abhors a vacuum. So fill it will good things.

Affirming worth is no easy task, especially if you hold a deep belief that something is wrong with you. Make the affirmations more believable by using your money honey’s voice. Let your new money honey tell you all the wonderful thing about yourself.

If you remember back on Day 7, I mentioned how your subconscious learned.

"The subconscious mind learns by repetition and not by logic. It learns by the conscious mind establishing deep grooves from habitual thinking… thinking the same thoughts over and over."

Repetition is critical!

Listen to the Financial Alchemy audios… make a habit to listen to one a day.

Create affirmations to replace your negative money talk. Use them every day.

Watch the Self Empowerment video from the FREE self empowerment kit. The affirmations will help you see your self worth.

You’ll find 31 empowering statements about money in the Power Quotes ebook in the kit.

[Money Mindset Challenge] Day 10 – Self Worth and Net Worth

By Ann Rusnak 2 Comments

"People love to give me money because I add value to their lives"

What a wonderful affirmation!

People often interchange the word value and self worth… there is a difference.

Worth:
The quality of a person that lends importance, value and merit. Quality that commands esteem, respect and moral excellence. As a creation of God, you come into this world with self worth. No one can take it away. It’s always present even if you don’t see it.

Self worth is important to your ultimate happiness.

Value:
That which is rendered desirable or useful… highly regarded.

Developing and sharing your inner treasure, releasing your inner gifts, to improve and enhance the lives around you adds value to what you do.

Your net worth and self worth are interconnected. If you don’t see yourself as worthy person, you’ll dismiss your talents and gifts. You won’t feel like you bring value to what you do.

I talked in detail yesterday about the parallels of your relationship with your money and the relationship with yourself. Listening to the "Wealthy Women" audio, Morgana said when you have a punishing money, you have low self esteem.

What Matters Most is How You See Yourself

What Matters Most Is
How You See Yourself.

Low self esteem hides your self worth from you. It’s hidden under a pile of negative garbage so you can’t see it. Your belief system leaves you feeling unworthy.

You remember where your belief system resides don’t you? (hint read day 7 again)

Your subconscious holds deep within the infinite wisdom, infinite power, infinite supply for everything necessary for the life you truly desire and deserve to live. It’s just waiting for development and expression.

Developing and expression your talents and gifts won’t happen unless you believe in yourself.

You first must believe in yourself and the inner treasure God placed in you.

God (you can use Universe or higher power or what ever suits you) challenges you through money, love and health to get our attention and wake you up.

If allowed, those challenges will tap into your creative mind… the subconscious mind. Your subconscious is never short of ideas. It stands ready with an infinite number of ideas to flow into your conscious mind.

Those ideas from your subconscious can turn into cash in countless ways.

Right now the world revolves around money. You need money to support you in living your divine purpose. Money is an exchange for the value you add to people lives using your gifts and talents.

Believe in Yourself…

Believe in your Self Worth…

Low self esteem, low confidence and low self respect hides your worth from you. All three play an important part on how you see your self worth. What you feel and believe on the inside is usually reflected on the outside.

This will translate to your net worth.

The Self Empowerment affirmation video can help you with seeing your worth and building up your self esteem and self confidence. (This is part of my Free Self Empowerment Kit)

[Money Mindset Challenge] Day 9 – Healthy Money Relationship

By Ann Rusnak 4 Comments

We’re entering Day 9 of the Money Mindset Challenge…

Are you noticing a difference in your attitude toward money? I hope you decide to take action on from yesterday’s session. Nature abhors a vacuum… Making Room for Money is an easy way to create fast change.

In Morgana’s Financial Alchemy book she says your relationship with your money parallels the relationships in your life. I just love the idea about developing a relationship with money… especially a healthy one.

Building a healthy relationship with your money is our second strategy to nurturing your new money beliefs.

What is a healthy relationship?

Healthy relationships are about feeling good about who YOU are and feeling SAFE with another person. The relationship allows for individuality, bring out the best in both of you, and invites personal growth. Healthy relationships show emotional warmth.

Four Key Ingredients of a Healthy Relationship

Communication:

Your communication is based on honesty and trust. You should both should feel comfortable talking and sharing your thoughts. Communication also involves listening to each other.

Sharing:

By listening carefully, sharing your thoughts and feelings with another shows you feel they are an important part of your life.

Respect:

You respect each other for who you are. You work through disagreement together. You enjoy spending time with each other. You honor each others boundaries.

Trust:

Very Important in a relationship. You trust the other person will be there to listen to you and support you. Your conversations are honest with each other. You feel safe.

The Surprising Relationship

Little over year ago I sent Morgana an email telling how Financial Alchemy transformed our lives. We were receiving so many blessings. (and continue to)

I also shared this about my relationship with my Money Honey Antoine.

As money come in, I realized I didn’t have the skills to "manage" it.

I ask Antoine how do "manage" money better.

Antoine said, we are in a relationship… you don’t manage a relationship, we’re partners. You take care of it. Would you want your husband to "manage" you. You’ve been married for 25 years not because you two "managed" each other but because you two cared for each other.

I asked Antoine how do I take care of money. Boy did he guide on what to do.

I have a dedicated spot in my office where I take care of our finances. I look forward to "visiting" that spot.

I began to develop a better relationship with myself… taking better care of myself.

I acquired more faith in myself and became more comfortable with who I am. This also extended to other people too. If you don’t have a healthy relationship with yourself, it’s hard to have one with others.

Healthy relationships bring happiness and health to our lives. Studies show people with healthy relationships really enjoy more happiness and less stress.

This is so true in our home… man the stress levels went way down… along with worry and fear. I feel such an inner calmness and peace.

This is not a do once program… it’s ongoing. Using the Financially Alchemy Workbook 12 Steps of Magic and Manifestation allowed me to heal my relationship with money.

This workbook keeps my money relationship growing stronger. Every week I write what will make money happy. This makes loving him a priority.

Your relationship with your money really does parallel with the relationships in your life.

Working on a healthy relationship with your money will keep you moving forward.
