The way we think and feel about money will define how money comes into our life, the role it plays, how much of it we will have, etc. Let me give you a classic example of bad thinking that will keep you broke, vs. right thinking that will help you prosper:

You will probably agree that we all have monthly bills to pay. There are expenses like housing, phone, gas, cable, groceries, and more that are going to be a part of our lives every month without fail.

Your list of regular expenses might be a little different from the above, but don’t get lost in the detail. My point is everyone has standard bills and expenses, and this fact is not going to change unless our global economy evolves past money into some sort of Star Trek system.

In other words: you will be paying your bills month after month for the rest of your life.

You can choose to groan and complain, and feel badly about this fact. The result will be a scarcity consciousness and constant fear of running out of money, not having enough, etc. This is a pretty lousy way to live, and I promise you abundance will never come into your life while you are thinking like this.

Instead, you can choose to think abundantly: Feel joy because you get to contribute to our modern economy by circulating money to your phone providers, grocery store, and cable company. You are adding real value to the world and helping these businesses prosper, create more jobs, and provide better service to their customers!

And notice the term circulate. Stop spending money right now and begin to circulate it instead! When you”spend” something it’s gone, but when you circulate it, you’ll see and hold it again when it passes back through your life.

This simple exercise of changing the way you think about your bills will have an enormous impact on your life. You’ll feel a weight lifted, and you’ll begin to feel happy about the normal process of using your money to pay for necessary supplies and utilities.

It’s a blessing to be part of an advanced society that allows us to have cell phones, computers, readily packaged foods, and more. So practice being thrilled to participate, and blessing the companies you circulate your wealth to.

You will benefit tremendously from your new prosperity mindset.

Many people intuitively understand the concepts of attraction and manifesation. It’s easy to see how we create our own reality with our thoughts and attitudes.

Even before the law of attraction became a social movement, most people were willing to accept their role as creator of their own lives. Finding a wonderful mate, getting the right job, coming up with the perfect solution for a problem at exactly the right moment are all examples of creative experiences most of us can relate to.

But for some reason when it comes to attracting lots of money, many people struggle. How can it be that someone who easily attracts things into every other area of their life finds it difficult, even impossible, to manifest great wealth?

This is a complete contradiction. But I see it every day, and I have even experienced it myself.

The subject of money is powerful indeed, and our modern culture has been brainwashed into believing that wealth is elusive, difficult to attain, etc. We have the challenge of clearing out decades, even centuries, of negative energy around the concepts of money and wealth.

But the simple truth is, like everything else we might wish to attract, money is literally right here in front of us. It is no harder to manifest than a good mood or a new friend!

We make it difficult because of our own negative, strained, and self-defeating beliefs. These beliefs often take place below the level of conscious awareness.

So what can you do if you are someone who understands the process of attraction but still has trouble bringing plenty of money into your life?

First of all, you just have to keep visualizing. Don’t allow a temporary lack of results to throw you off your path to abundance.

And second, you need to address the negative beliefs you have about your ability to attract wealth. Here’s a great exercise I learned:

Take out a piece of paper and write in great detail how you honestly feel towards money and wealth. If you don’t think you’re cut out to be rich, or if you believe money is hard to come by, write this down!

Put your full emotional attention into the writing. Really strive to feel the negative energy as you put your self-defeating thoughts on paper.

When you’re finished, read over the page a final time… and then burn it!

This is an incredibly liberating activity! As you watch the paper burn, imagine your old way of thinking going up in smoke with it.

Then spend the next ten minutes writing out your positive beliefs toward wealth. With great emotion write a complete page about why you know great money is moving to you even now, and what you plan to do with your new wealth.

From here forward, you will visualize your wealth with renewed vigor!

I further recommend you create a series of affirmations using standard index cards. Write out 5 to 10 statements that are positive and in the present tense regarding your money situation.

For example:

1. I make new money every day and invest it wiseley.
2. Money always flows to me from multiple sources.
3. I enjoy my great wealth and share it freely with others.
4. I always have more than enough money to do all I desire.

You get the idea. Say these powerful affirmations to yourself each morning when you get up and each night when you lie down, and any other times you like!

Refuse to accept negative money beliefs. Clear your old thoughts and create new, empowering thoughts you can visualize and vocalize on a daily basis.

Using this simple formula, anyone who believes can attract more money into their life!
