those negative emotions with positive ones. Positive actions will enhance your positive thoughts and feelings. Talk to a credit counselor, negotiate a payoff and accept that you have a black mark on your credit rating for now, and pay your friend back $10 a month if that's all you can afford to put toward a large, outstanding loan. If you want to ask someone for financial assistance, be respectful by taking responsibility for your money situation and changing your behavior so that you can improve it.
Remember that wealth is a force. If you're headed in the right direction, that force will help you get out of debt. If you're still engaging in the same behaviors that led to the debt, money won't help you in any lasting way. Change internally before asking others to come to your aid, and be forthright and honest with them about your finances. Remember that people who care about you do want to help, but they want to be sure that they're not simply enabling you to continue with the same old patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that haven't been working.
Do what has to be done to create positive emotions about attracting wealth and changing your financial situation. Taking positive action will help you feel more positive about yourself.

You may have overspent because of negative feelings and not realized it, and you aren't going to do that anymore. Now that you know you've been experiencing destructive emotions, you can replace them and your spending behaviors will change. Also, you might have gotten into debt because you were overburdened by caring for a loved one (a new baby, an ill spouse, or an elderly parent who is becoming more frail) and couldn't put your energy into generating income.
If you gave value unconditionally, don't lose faith that the Universe will respond with abundance. Notice the abundance you have already: love, a close relationship with your spouse, a sense of accomplishment, new skills, and so on. Wealth in the form of money will come along, too. Be certain that you're ready for it, and be patient. Whenever negative feelings come up, keep replacing them
