The Magic Gratitude Challenge ~ Day 9
The Money Magnet
Day 9: The Money Magnet
Most people don't think they complain about their money. But they do complain by worrying, being jealous of others successes and having negative thoughts and feelings about money. The biggest complaint is when we have to pay a bill or dip into our finances. It is difficult to not complain or worry when you are financially struggling or feel like you have more bills than the flow of money. But as The Law Of Attraction states, "Thoughts become things" and "like attracts like!" So, we have to learn to train our self to think abundant thoughts about money. So, when you pay out bills you need to change your thought process about it. In the book, the author, Rhonda Byrne, has a wonderful idea. She asks that when we pay our bills that we be grateful for the service or goods we received from them. She says by learning to do this you will be a money magnet! When you are paying your bills, you will think about how much you received from the services that were provided. Here are a few examples.
Example 1: The mortgage/rent ~ I am so grateful for this bill from my mortgage company/landlord. Having a home is such a gift. I enjoy my home and all that it contains. I am grateful that there is such a thing as a mortgage/landlord or I would have to save up the money that was needed to purchase a home. What a blessing it is to be able to pay as I go. Thank you, thank you, thank you mortgage company/landlord for your service!
Example 2: The electric bill ~ I am so grateful to have electricity. It makes my life more comfortable. I am able to have lighting, heating and cooling and be able to use all my appliances to make my home run more smoothly. I am thankful that I don't have to endure what my ancestors had to. I am able to do my laundry in no time compared to working my fingers to the bone hand washing and line drying my clothes. I save so much time because of it! My food stays fresh and I don't have to worry about spoilage. I am able to have ice cold drinks and beverages in an instant. My freezer is so great because I can keep things fresher longer! Ahhh...and the a/c is the joy of all joys. I am able to stay cool and refreshed at all times. I can enjoy the summer heat knowing that a/c is just around the corner! In the winter I am able to stay warm and cozy with my heater. Without having to worry about being cold or freezing too death. What a blessing this electricity bill is! Thank you, thank you, thank you electric company for making my life easier and more enjoyable!!!
You have think of a million things to be grateful for when it comes to any bill you need to pay. Phone, internet, gym membership, schooling, the list could go on and on! You just need to take the time to think about what each service provides you and FEEL the feeling of gratitude filling up your heart with love and appreciation! I promise that you will feel better after you do it. The author, Rhonda Byrne, has a great tip to write on each bill, "Thank you-Paid," for all the bills you are able to pay. And for the bills that you have not paid yet- "Thank you for the money!" When you are able to pay the bill you would then write, "Thank you-Paid," on them. I have taken this a step further and write on all my receipts, "Thank you-Paid!"
Today you will take any unpaid bills and write, "thank you for the money!" You will FEEL the feeling of how it would feel to have them fully paid. If you do online billing. You would forward yourself an email and write in the subject line, "THANK YOU FOR THE MONEY!" Next you will take 10 bills you have fully paid and write on them, "Thank you-Paid." Feeling the feeling of how grateful you are to be able to of paid them in full! What a blessing! The magic here is feeling the feeling of gratitude for the money you have and the money that is on it's way. The more you can fill your heart up with love and appreciation, the more you are able to change your future money situation. You will be blown away when you see this working for you in your life! It truly works like magic! It is your thoughts on money that are holding you back, not your financial situation! If you can continue to do this practice and feel how grateful you are for it. You will continue to bring more money into you life.
And last but not least, start to realize your thoughts and words about money. The worry, the jealousy or feelings of not having enough are not helping you to change your money situation, they are hindering them. When you begin worrying about money think about all you do have and all the things that are going right in your life. As for jealousy, be happy for those who have more. Try to be as happy as you would if it were you. Think about all their hard work to get to where they are or how blessed they are to of been in the right place at the right time. NEVER mock or shame them for what they do have. It is only hurting you and your own future. The more you practice this, the better you will get. This is my second 28 challenge and this time around I am more aware of my thoughts and words about money. I am more open to writing on my bills and receipts because I know it does help to get me in line with The Law Of Attraction. Because like attracts like and my thoughts become things!
