Page 95 - 21 Distinctions of Wealth: Attract the Abundance You Deserve - PDFDrive.com

Is money "tight," or are you tightly holding on to your ideas about how and when wealth should flow into your life and closing yourself off to the way the Universe wants it to flow? Instead of telling your partner, "Money's tight right now, so I'd like to postpone buying that item," say, "Yes, let's consider buying that item and talking about it while the money's coming in to us." In the real world, the cash for your new couch or car might not arrive for many months, but that doesn't mean you can't acknowledge that "the money's coming in to us"!
Are you really in a "financial crisis," meaning that you're on the brink of disaster ... or are you on the brink of prosperity, poised to turn your financial situation around because you've finally woken up and become aware of how you've repelled money and how you can start attracting it? How you describe your situation, positively or negatively, will actually affect your ability to change it.
Many people are in the unconscious habit of talking negatively about money. Maybe you learned this from your parents and family. Mothers and fathers who have their own fears about money will often overreact when their child, who doesn't know about their financial situation, innocently asks, "Can I have that?" The usual response is: "No, we can't afford it!" The more fear a parent has, the more likely he or she is to deliver those words with fear and anger. Children get the message that they shouldn't wish or ask for what they want.
Rather than saying, "We can't afford it," a parent could guide kids in exploring why they would enjoy having that toy or piece of sports equipment and how they might create the abundance that would allow them to buy it. With our spouses, we'll often shut down our creativity rather than explore each other's dreams, desires, and possibilities. A negative word such as can't turns off the faucet of abundance and shut us down. Instead of saying, "We can't afford it," you can suggest, "Let's talk about ways we can afford it and whether this is what we really want."
If you're facing financial challenges, be honest about them and explore what your resources are. Generate positive emotions about wealth, but don't dwell on
