Magic Money

Ok...this is the BIG one for me.  The really BIG one.  I have been struggling with the whole money thing for months now and am not happy with the situation at all.  I have never been in this place in life before where I have to scrape to make ends meet at the end of the month.  And to add to that stress, I am moving into a new place that will require an increase in rent...baahhhh!

So, last night I began the chapter on 'Magic Money'.  I do completely understand and agree with the principals...but am having a challenging time integrating them.  It is very difficult, I will tell you, to not stress about money when you do not have that much and things have to be paid.  I have not yet jumped this hurdle.  It's a big one for me.  I wish I were the type who just KNEW there would always be the money I need when I need it...but I am not there yet.  And I am hoping the teachings of this chapter will get me there...and soon.

The chapter states that when you worry about money, you block any coming into you.  If you are grateful for the amount of money you have, no matter how little, you will attract more.  That is the law of attraction...'Gratitude is riches.  Complaint is poverty'.  

Yeah, I get that but all day yesterday, all I could do was worry about not having enough money to buy gas to get me to work...to worry about the pittance I spent on lunch for fear it would make a difference in my bottom line instead of having fun and enjoying myself.  When I read the chapter last night...it all made sense.  But in the morning light, the old patterns are back.  There are things I need to do today...things I need to buy...and I am so stressed out about whether or not there will be enough for me to buy gas, I am completely stuck.  Stuck in this spot of knowing I need to be grateful for what I have yet stressed about what I  do not have....YIKES!

So, here I go...I am throwing caution to the wind and moving forward with gratitude because the stressing out is doing nothing but causing more stress, forcing me to focus on things that take away from the joy of living and blocking any goodness that is waiting to come into my life.  So, I am saying good-bye to the chest pains...saying good-bye to the stiff shoulders...and saying good-bye to the perceived lack in my life...and saying hello to abundance with the knowing that everything will work out.  That I will, once I get through this nonsense, attract all that I need into my life.  

I will later today do the work needed to move forward into prosperity...  I have found my dollar bill and I am going to put the words:  'THANK YOU FOR ALL THE MONEY I'VE BEEN GIVEN THROUGHOUT MY LIFE' on it so that I can begin to attract the money I need and want into my life.  

Let the magic begin!
