Changing Your Money Story



For a number of years now, I've held this story that single moms are not wealthy. I built this story up based on what I saw in my reality when I was NOT single. Single moms, getting on the bus with their kid(s), dressed poorly, unkempt, living in trailers, perhaps. (crazy, I know...) No wonder, with this sort of image in my mind, when I became a single mom -- and I did likely because I kept focusing fearfully on what life would be like as a single mom -- I have remained broke, dressing poorly at times, or at least not as well as I would like, unkempt some days. Not living in a trailer, but certainly living in a rental home that is not very well kept up, both by myself and the landlord.

Now I have an opportunity to change my story. I have to change my story. Living this story is not living life as I know it can be lived. There is really no good reason why a single mom cannot be wealthy. I've since met a number of them. I know they exist, I know it's possible!

Our thoughts and feelings create our reality. This doesn't happen some of the time. It happens ALL of the time. Everything we see in our reality -- single moms being wealthy or not -- is created by our thoughts and feelings. If I want to see a different reality of life as a single mom, I need to change my thoughts and feelings. I need to re-imagine my story. So I focus on how it would feel to be living in accordance with Spirit's magnificence. This has not been easy in the beginning, but with practice and perseverance, I am making headway.

The book above, Creating Money: Attracting Abundance (Sanaya Roman)is an excellent spiritual understanding of money as energy and how to attract more. I recommend this book, and will recommend many others that are helping me change my story, but would like to emphasize that reading just one book will not make the difference for you. Do not, for one second, believe that you can just read one book, on the recommendation of another person, and expect life to change FOR you. You have to do the work. Thoughts + Feelings + Inspired Action = Manifestation. There is no other way around it. That inspired action piece will mean different things. It will likely mean you need to do something that is going to alter your vibration. If you choose to read the book, or feel so inspired to, do so with the intention that this action is just one building block in the (new) foundation you are building for yourself, for your new story. Stick with it and take the next inspired step.
