W.A.I.T. (Why am I talking?)
Try this experiment: pause for a moment when your negative self-talk starts telling you things like, “You’re not good enough. You can’t afford that. You aren’t capable of doing that. You’re too old. You’re too out of shape.” Instead of getting caught up in the poverty mindset of “not enough” (time, money, ability, looks).
WAIT.
Ask yourself,
“Why am I talking?”
Our ego likes to control us by having us compare ourselves to someone else. Someone smarter, more athletic, richer, better looking, younger, healthier. There are many ways a poverty mindset can effect how we speak to ourselves. How we speak to ourselves effects how we live our lives.
We can have whatever we want in life if we learn how to get past our own demeaning, limiting, self-talk. This takes effort and awareness. Continual renewing of our mind.
Wealth and abundance comes in many forms, not just money. Anything that brings your heart joy, from the smallest to the most precious, is a form of wealth for you. Gratitude is a magnet for abundance. Start and end your day in gratitude. Be grateful throughout the day. Say little prayers of thanks thorough out the day.
Suddenly you will realize more things are showing up in your life to be grateful for.
Priceless things that money can’t buy like health, love, friendship. And yes, tangible things like money and the things it can buy. Try it.
