Week # 44 symbolizes and reveals one of the most crucial factors that you need in order to manifest financial security and abundance in your life. Feeling financially secure can be sought after in a myriad of different ways, depending upon what you have learned and experienced throughout your life. Each one of us has our own criteria that we believe must be met in order to feel financially secure. The criteria is usually dependent upon a conditional reality, i.e., x dollars in the bank, job status, x number of high paying clients, debts paid off, etc.

Regardless of what you think you need in order to feel financially secure, one thing is certain. You MUST be aligned with Universal principles and Truth if you want to experience on-going, absolute financial security. What do I mean by that statement? Well, first it might be helpful to look at what alignment with the Truth is not:

• It isn’t having faith in conditions – feeling secure cannot be dependant upon having an accumulation of money or depending upon circumstances outside of yourself. The manifest world of ‘stuff’ is subject to earthly catastrophes, i.e. stock market crashes, job losses, illness, hurricanes, tornados, oil spills, war, etc.
• It isn’t dependent upon other people, i.e. husbands, wives, family inheritance, etc. None of this can be 100% relied upon, can it?
• Being aligned with the Truth isn’t attempting to control and manipulate yourself or others through guilt, blame, and shame in order to get what you want.

So, what exactly is the Truth and how do you align with it? The Truth lies in the fact that all manifested things come from a Source greater than ourselves. This Source of life is an Infinite Intelligence that is all-knowing, is ever-present in and through everyone and everything, and is all-powerful! In other words, this benevolent divine energy heals and creates new life from a realm of endless possibilities. This beneficial Source Energy is not diminished or affected by any of the effects that we create in the world.

Imagine trusting and having faith in something that is true to Itself. It can only act in accordance with Its nature!

• Its nature is creative, abundant, and powerful.
• It loves by giving all that is needed for life, in all of its forms, to flourish, to thrive.
• It is the power that transforms our ‘messes,’ our problems, into miracles. Its reality frees us from our negative, limiting beliefs and self-doubts.
• Source energy needs no condition to create anything in the manifest world of life. It creates anew.
• It operates through Its Laws of Mind, i.e. Law of Attraction, Law of Cause and Effect
• Its nature is only FOR something; it is never against anything! It is the ultimate peace and acceptance.

How does this information help you today in gaining financial security? Do you see where this can take you? By placing your thoughts on the nature of Source energy, you eliminate the need for your conditions to change before you can manifest exactly what you want and need to flourish, i.e., business opportunities, more ideal clients, resources that you need, people to comfort and love you, financial resources for your material desires.

How’s that for absolute security! Source is so much more than the mighty Laws that It operates through! This is what you may not be hearing from the Law of Attraction coaches for whom I dearly respect. This awareness is what’s missing if you feel alone and feel like you live on shaky ground. Source loves you and continually calls you back into alignment through your desires. It is your personal connection to the ‘All That Is.’

Wealth Practice # 44 – Create financial security now!

1. Write down what you want that requires money. This time, as you write, imagine that you are speaking to a being that has the will and power to say “yes” to you. This power creates from nothing. It will do so through you, not to you. Speak your desires into love!
2. Make a decision to relax and trust that this benevolent energy will guide you, inspire you, and have you be in the perfect place, at the perfect time, with the perfect person(s), for whatever you need to allow your desire to be realized.
3. Be willing to feel your fears to change. However, surrender to the opportunities and people who show up in your life to help you on your path to realize your desires.

Do you have a competitive nature and become energized by the thrill of winning? This is true for many people, yet, for many others, competition stops them cold. The idea of winning and losing is appropriate in sports. That is the nature of the game, someone wins and someone loses.

In working with hundreds and hundreds of people over the past 15 years, I have noticed something very disturbing about super achievers. While they’ve had a competitive nature to some degree or another, the compulsion to win, particularly in business, didn’t always serve them to get what they really wanted. Many appeared to be “winning” at their game in business, yet, they longed for a deep sense of security, acceptance, freedom, and peace, regardless of the rise in their bank accounts or the public recognition they received for their achievements.

Do you work hard to improve yourself in order to keep up with your fellow colleagues or your business counterparts, yet feel exhausted and unfulfilled? This isn’t always easy to admit, yet, if you are blinded by this cycle of pain, it can rob you of your money, peace, health, and your overall sense of well being. Competition can be a cover up for an underlying pattern of negative comparison and critical self-judgment.

I’ve created a phrase that describes what we do when we feel we have to keep ahead of our friends, business colleagues, etc. It is “Small trying to get Big.” That pretty much sums it all up, doesn’t it? Who likes to feel inferior (small) to someone else? I’ve yet to meet anyone that can tolerate that feeling. How about you?

Thus, we create ways in which we try to look better (big) than what we believe ourselves to be (small), in our own eyes, and seemingly, in the eyes of others. The illusion begins. . .

There are multitudes of ways in which this insidious, resistant cycle plays out in our lives. Problem is, it can only oscillate from small to big, and back again to small. We never truly feel equal to others or good enough (big), no matter how hard we try. Do any of the following behaviors and beliefs look familiar?

• You deny yourself pleasures that you enjoy having or doing.
  • The belief: If I give up my needs and assume that other people’s needs are more important than my own, I’ll be a better person.
  • The payoff: Then I’ll be accepted.
• Not speaking up about what is not working and identifying problems.
  • The belief: If I don’t speak up about what’s not working, the other person(s) won’t get upset and feel bad.
  • The payoff: Then I’ll be loved and accepted, and I won’t be alone.
• You expect too much of yourself, particularly if you are learning and growing in areas that are new and uncomfortable for you.
  • The belief: If I act like I know when I really don’t know, I’ll appear to be on top of my game and successful.
  • The payoff: Then I’ll be admired by others; I’ll be wanted, accepted, and valued.
• You refuse to ask for help from others when you get stuck.
  • The belief: If I figure things out on my own, others will perceive me to be capable.
  • The payoff: Then, I’ll be highly valued and wanted by others.

These examples are some of the most common that I have seen over the years. I am personally fond of a few of them myself! You might discover one that I haven’t mentioned.

So, what can you do about this “Small trying to get Big” cycle when it shows up in your life and robs you of your ability to go beyond where you are now, not only financially, but in all areas of your life? Of course, awareness is the first most critical step to realize a transformation. (You can’t release or stop subconscious patterns that you are not aware of.)

Wealth Practice # 43 – from oscillation to moving forward

1. Choose which of the four (4) cycles of “Small trying to get Big” that you most identify with. Be honest. Identify exactly how you are playing it out in your business. i.e. Are you refusing to spend mone’y on yourself or give yourself time to play and relax? Be as specific as you can.
2. Make a decision that stopping this yo yo pattern is a # 1 priority. Do one thing in the next 24 hours that you have not done in the past which represents the behavior of someone who is equal to others. i.e. If something is not working or there is a problem, speak up and address it. Take time out for yourself and go for a relaxing walk. Treat yourself to something that you keep saying “No” to because you don’t ‘need’ it, etc. Ask for help if you are stuck. Admit you are a learner and accept that you don’t know how to do something very well.
3. Affirm daily: I am equal to my fellow human beings. I have fears, they have fears. I learn and stumble, they learn and stumble. I am growing and improving every day; they are growing and improving every day.

Do you really know all of the ways that you could be throwing money away or how you might be keeping it out of your life? There are five (5) areas in your life where money leaks might be occurring, and these leaks will be disguised as ‘other issues’ for you. These issues can seemingly appear to have no relevance to your money, yet, they profoundly do. They show up as clutter in the following areas:

• Clutter – environment
• Clutter – schedule
• Clutter – your mental and emotional states
• Clutter – relationships
• Clutter – finances

Any one of these areas can keep money from coming into your life or can cause money to leak out of your life without you realizing how much and how fast it’s dwindling away. This is not good news, but, there is a way to turn this around!

This week’s focus is to uncover how you are leaking money out of your life by ignoring your finances. This may seem like an obvious money leak, not paying attention to your finances, yet your behaviors with money are very telling as to the kind of relationship you actually do have with your money. Having clutter in your finances translates to having clutter in your relationship with money.

There are (3) three primary ways you can recognize if you have an unhealthy and resistant relationship with money:

1. You are indifferent about your finances. This shows up by:
   • not paying attention to your bank balances
   • not opening your bills and paying them late
   • being reckless with your spending and creating overdraft charges
   • wasting resources that cost you more money, i.e. leaving lights on, running water too long
   • not having money work for you by not accumulating and growing your money in a savings or investment account
   • basically not caring or giving attention to your finances
2. You are critical of yourself for not having enough money and of others who seem to have plenty. This shows up by:
   • gossiping critically about others who have the luxuries that money can buy
   • feeling jealous or envious of others’ financial success
   • hoarding money and begrudging how much things cost.
   • blaming or resenting others for ‘charging too much’ with an attitude of superiority
   • maintaining tight control of your money by withholding it from family members or being secretive about your spending
3. You use money to buy acceptance from others by pleasing or impressing them. This shows up by:
   • giving money away to alleviate guilt
   • not holding yourself or others accountable for unbroken promises to avoid conflict
   • overspending on items that you don’t need but think you should have to ‘look good’
   • not charging more for your services and products out of fear that you will upset your clients
   • picking up the tab because you think you ‘should’ in order to be accepted and thought well of by others
   • not receiving money or help from others well

How you show up in relationship with money is how you show up in relationship with most people. Are you the critic, the pleaser, or are you just aloof and indifferent? These resistant ways-of-being are steeped in fear and reveal a deep sense of inadequacy. Financial clutter can look like money drama and people drama. Having conscious awareness of yourself as a relationship partner with money is the first place to begin if you want to declutter your finances in your business and your personal life.

The Truth shall set you free!

Wealth Practice # 42 – Releasing Clutter – Your Finances

1. Find yourself in one of the three (3) resistant ways-of-being that you show up with money. Identify exactly how you are manifesting this way-of-being in your life right now. Write it all down. Be honest.
2. Choose to be a different partner with money rather than one that is in resistance, being critical, being a pleaser, or being indifferent. Identify 3 relationships in your life in which you are showing up the same way.
3. From your new identity as a loving, caring partner, choose the top three things I have listed or that you know you are doing and change your behavior. i.e. If you break promises to yourself and others, practice keeping your word; if you are being critical of what others are charging, step back and ask yourself what you can learn from them; if you have trouble receiving from others, allow yourself to be gifted to.

Do you really know all of the ways that you could be throwing money away or how you might be keeping it out of your life? There are five (5) areas in your life where money leaks might be occurring, and these leaks will be disguised as ‘other issues’ for you. These issues can seemingly appear to have no relevance to your money, yet, they profoundly do. They show up as clutter in the following areas:

• Clutter – environment
• Clutter – schedule
• Clutter – your mental and emotional states
• Clutter – relationships
• Clutter – finances

Any one of these areas can keep money from coming into your life or can cause money to leak out of your life without you realizing how much and how fast it’s dwindling away. This is not good news, but, there is a way to turn this around!

This week’s focus is to uncover how stressful relationships can cause huge money leaks in your life, and how they can prevent you from attracting money, worse yet. Think about what happens to you when you are in conflict with a family member or someone that you work with. What happens to your energy level? If you’re like most humans, conflict in your important relationships can zap your energy fast. It does for me.

Do any of the following money leaks and blocks overtake you when you’re upset with an important person in your life or with someone that you work with?

1. Shopping therapy – buying items that you don’t need or that you can’t really afford
2. Eating out or drinking more than you are comfortable with – these things can really cost you more, not just your money, but with your health
3. Spending too much time complaining to your friends about the indiscretions of the person with whom you are in conflict.
4. Doing mundane, low energy level task work because you are tired, frustrated, and resentful
5. Withdrawing from making new contacts and lucrative offers to potential clients which would increase your business opportunities
6. Getting sick often because your body is worn down from the emotional stress of your relationship(s)
7. Not asking for help and delegating the non-income generating aspects of your business because you are in withdraw mode and you don’t feel like interacting with anyone.

So, there you have it, seven (7) out of hundreds of ways money can be blocked or can leak out of your life. If you identify with any one of them, it is time to make a change! It just costs way too much, don’t you think? Energetically speaking, like attracts like. Need I say more about that. . .?

Wealth Practice # 41 – Releasing Clutter – Relationships

1. Write down the names of the people with whom you are having conflict, the ones that you are tolerating or making excuses for.
2. Decide to address the conflicts, beginning with the most draining. (You know who this is) Have the conversation you are ignoring. Your money, your joy, and your rich life depend on it!
3. Who do you have trouble saying “No” to? Write down the names of the people with whom you have difficulty exercising your boundaries. Start saying “No” to obligatory expectations from others that are draining your energy and consuming your time.

I previously exposed how you might be throwing money away or keeping it out of your life in ways that you are not consciously aware of. I identified five (5) areas in your life where money leaks might be occurring and how these leaks can be disguised as ‘other issues’ for you. These issues can seemingly appear to have no relevance to your money, yet, they profoundly do! Remember, the way you do one thing is the way you do everything.

These five (5) areas are:

• Clutter – environment
• Clutter – schedule
• Clutter – your mental and emotional states
• Clutter – relationships
• Clutter – finances

Any one of these areas can keep money from coming into your life or can cause money to leak out of your life without you realizing how much and how fast it’s dwindling away. This is not good news, but, there is a way to turn this around!

This week’s focus is on how your mental (belief system) and emotional states can certainly be a cause for money leaks in your life. The clutter in your beliefs and the emotions that are associated with them are the primary cause of all other clutter in your life. The clutter inside of you creates the clutter outside of you. You may know this intellectually; however, if you have any of the outer clutter, most assuredly you are being run by old limiting beliefs that are not serving you.

I love the subject of money because, from a personal growth perspective, it tends to strike a chord for many of our limiting beliefs, not just the ones specifically about money, but beliefs about ourselves. At the end of the day, who we think we are and what we believe we deserve, are two fundamental beliefs that impact everything else.

These old beliefs can cause us to doubt our capability to earn huge sums of money, to deny that we deserve plenty, to not value our work and be paid well, and to fear that we are not worthy to be loved and cared for. The subject of money can also illuminate the negative belief that we are never good enough. This list of old clutter can go on and on.

You most likely have an awareness that your limiting beliefs do cause many of the money leaks that may be showing up. This is not new news. However, just knowing this information will not change the reality that your clutter of self doubt and unworthiness are causing money to leak or flow out of your life. So, how can you change and become a magnet to attracting and keeping more money in your life? Well, you do have to do the inner work. Fortunately, peaceful awareness, in the world of transformation, goes a very long way!

Many self-help courses and professionals in the field of personal growth, myself included, have offered hundreds of methods in which we can either change or obliterate our negative beliefs. If you find that these methods have worked for you, I sincerely encourage you to apply them and change your beliefs that are cluttering your mind regarding mon’ey. However, in case the process of changing your beliefs has become overwhelming and frustrating, I offer you something different to consider and to practice, (as if your life depended on it).

I offer you my four (4) P’s to Prosperity formula for releasing your mental clutter:

1. Peaceful acceptance of your limiting beliefs
2. Passionate acceptance of your desire to be rich
3. Powerful intention to be of beneficial service to others using your talents, abilities, and interests
4. Persistent focus on how the power of Universal Principles work in and through you at all times.

Wealth Practice # 40 – Releasing Clutter – Mental States

1. Peaceful Acceptance: Decide now that you are going to let go of any attempts to resist and begrudge your old beliefs. They are what they are, yet, you do need to be aware of them consciously. Write them down. Breathe, relax.
2. Passionate Acceptance to be Rich: Write down 5 things that you would like to do with mon’ey in the next 6 months; things that you don’t currently have the ready cash for, not credit, but cash. Breathe, relax.
3. Powerful Intention to be of beneficial service to others: Write down 10 issues that you know people are struggling with. Name 20 of your strengths, talents, and interests that would help them grow out of these issues and have what they want.
4. Persistent Focus on Universal Principles: Cultivate your awareness in how Universal Principles are working for you in your life right now. Please contact me at judy@wealthtransformations.com and request to learn more about my group programs in which I teach these principles and guide you to develop a trusting relationship with their power.
