“There is enough, and all my needs are met and will be met.” Is literally the greatest lesson I’ve had to learn in this life. It’s an ongoing active muscle I have to constantly exercise. It always shows up in my life in some form or another. From a tithing promise in organized religion to my greatest fear in therapy to a life lesson from a psychic reading from my guides, this theme keeps coming up.
To be honest I’m not surprised since I am a child of poverty. Growing up with a single teen mother who had her own generational trauma to overcome, it is a reasonable response to develop. But then I also had a mom who made shit happen. All our needs were met, maybe not as expected but we’re met. And it taught me how to be fucking creative at problem solving. Like coffee filters can be toilet paper and paper towels in a pinch. Then if you take into account the sum total of all the environmental trauma I’ve experienced it’s a wander I’m still alive and semi sane. One house fire, three tornadoes, two floods, two hurricanes, two ice storms and two financial collapses there seems to be a common lesson here.
It also seemed to be a principle I wasn’t perhaps learning. Which might be why I kept undergoing similar experiences with different details but the same feelings.
What was the lesson?
“There is enough, and all my needs are met and will be met.”
If that’s the lesson that I need to learn.
If that’s something more than what if I applied this idea like the law of gravity. In religion they say faith fuels blessings.
What if I believed in this like a principle? In spirituality they say that manifesting starts with stating as if it’s already happened and believing it to be.
What if I declared it daily? How would my life change? How would it influence my choices?
Well I’d start having more experiences. I’d start using the resources I had like credit cards and rewards points to do the shit I want to do. I’d have more courage to take risks in my business. I’d be more giving and charitable to those in need. Because it’s just money and I can always make more. Trying to rewire my brain from over forty years of programing is a hard but doable concept. I want to be very clear this is an active lesson I am trying to learn. I am not an expert. I’m just in the thick of it. And I have some hacks that I have found that are working.
1. I say affirmations to myself in the mirror. “ Money and resources flow freely and easily to me and my husband Chris.”
2. I dream big.
3. I don’t make choices based on past Bri. Like you don’t want to make the same mistake you did in 2008. These are fear based thinking practices and aint’ nobody got time for that.”
4. No decisions based on fear. If I’m afraid I just sit still and do or say nothing until I can process it.
5. Take time to think before I do anything.
6. Daily gratitude.
7. I consume uplifting and educational content from social media to music to movies.
8. No news.
9. No drama.
10. I will pay for experiences but not the acquisition of stuff to keep up with the jones.
11. I live a minimalist lifestyle and I’ve defined what that means for me.
What tips do you have for no longer living in financial fear?
