For many years, my financial journey has been like riding a rollercoaster. A love-hate story I would say.
You see, not long ago I was coming out of a painful, heartbreaking bankruptcy… Investing my life savings into “the internet project of my life” was a dream come true for me. My financial destiny was meant to be changed forever. No more cheap dinners or stay-at-home weekends.
Far from that… business failed badly for a series of reasons, one of which I realized a lot later and totally depended on me.
For months I struggled every day to even find a $5 bill to put gas in my car… not to mention that paying bills just became an absolute nightmare.
I felt hopeless, as if I had lost the chance to elevate my lifestyle and help my family become financially independent. I lost my sleep for months.
I was fearing my lack of money more than everything else.
This until I started to look at things from a different angle. I began learning how to treat money as energy and how to make this energy flow freely into my life.
It was a game changer.
What is your story with money?
Our financial story begins at a very young age when we begin to piece it together. The majority of us grow up with the beliefs we are given by our parents.
These are derived from our experiences and from other people’s beliefs. Even though we don’t hold these beliefs, we allow them to shape how we think about and experience certain things in our lives… one of which is money.
There are so many external influences on our ‘financial blueprint’, such as our upbringing, the media, and even the opinions of strangers. Money is part of the story we tell ourselves; it defines how we relate to money throughout our lives.

Money, and lack of it, has caused some people to grow up believing they should fear it. These people grow up forever in the shadow of their money worries.
However, there are some people who grow up with the belief that money comes to them freely and readily. When viewed from the outside, it appears that these people are constantly attracting money.
Can you relate to either of these examples? Money is no doubt a complex subject for you, and as difficult as it is to admit, your financial ‘story’ could be one of the main obstacles keeping you from experiencing the abundance you desire.
Maybe it’s time to do some thinking of your own if you base your relationship with money entirely on the experiences and beliefs of others? Do these beliefs align with your financial goals? Are they holding you back from meeting these goals?
We often have the misconception that money can only be earned by working hard. Why isn’t your building’s cleaner earning a substantial salary if this is true?

As you begin to examine what you believe about money, you’ll realize that things aren’t always what they appear to be.
See Money as Energy
Your financial ‘story’ needs to be changed if you are unhappy with your finances. Remember that everything in our lives is charged with energy. The thoughts we think, the words we speak, the emotions we feel.
Consequently, our money, too, is a product of energy. As with everything else, this energy is affected by the thoughts, words, and emotions we fuel it with.

4 Steps To Boost Your Money Energy Flow
Having trouble staying on top of your finances? Are you behind on payments?
Money can be a difficult topic to deal with when your bills keep piling up, especially when you’re up against so much! Nevertheless, if you are having financial difficulties, you should keep in mind that what we pay attention to expands.
If you think about your lack of money or money worries, you’ll attract more of that. According to the Law Of Attraction, you’ll attract what you think about.
What are your options now? Here are a few main ways to increase the flow of money in your life today.
Think Positively About Money
When you are struggling to pay your bills, pay attention to the ones you can pay instead. You should be proud of what you CAN do and the things that ARE going well for you.
As stated below, this ties into the ‘attitude of gratitude’ that is often mentioned. Are you seeking greater abundance? Then you should practice noticing the abundance already in your life. When you focus on the positives, you move away from the negative energies that could hinder your manifestation process.
Financial matters and bills should not be ignored. In other words, you choose to move forward and plan for the future during this time instead of dwelling on things that cannot be changed.
Make Gratitude a habit
Practice being grateful for every single money exchange you make. Do you dislike paying your electricity bill? Consider all that bill is paying for before getting worked up about how expensive the bill might be.
Try to be thankful for everything you have in return – the light, the heat, the television, even your hair straighteners.
What is the point of paying attention to all your money transactions? Simply to feel better!
Get comfortable with your money and you’ll begin to feel better overall; you’ll relax, lessening your grip on all those negative energies and allowing for more productive, more positive ones to replace them.
Visualize Wealth and Abundance
By acting as though your life is abundant and you have everything you could possibly need, you begin to experience a remarkable shift in consciousness.
You tell yourself that you already enjoy abundance, and you tell the universe as well. The evidence can be seen everywhere: the shoes you can afford, the bills you can pay, the holidays and homes you anticipate in the near future.
Your life is abundant because you make it so! And the universe expands because of this. When you believe you already have enough, the universe gives you even more.
Imagine it this way; the Law of Attraction is about giving what you lack. Do you feel unloved? Then be more loving.
Are you seeking forgiveness? Forgive more. Seeking greater wealth? Be more generous!
Act ‘As If’: Be Generous
The essence of wealth is not having many things, but having few wants. – Epictetus
When you FEEL like you live in abundance, that is true wealth. Furthermore, you quickly find yourself attracting the wealth that you have always dreamed of, without putting much effort into it at all.
Give generously! You already have everything you need, and the universe will take care of the rest. Remember that all-important mantra: give-away to receive when you find yourself dwelling on the subject of money.
Money is energy, so spend it wisely and you’ll always have an abundance of everything you need.
Final Note
Made immensely popular by several publications in the early 2000s, The so called “Law of Attraction” or “Manifesting” talks about how our thoughts can change our lives and transform our destiny.
Today, scientific evidence has made it easier than ever to apply these principles. The “trick” is to know how to use them.
The most popular law of attraction concept is the power of visualization. In other words, imagine intensely what you desire and manifest it. In combination with the principle of giving that you’ve read above, attaining what you want is very much a reality! Because, after all, it’s all within us.
