Personal Development:21 Days and 22 Exercises towards a Wealthier Mindset- Day 17
Author: Shauna | Category: Law of AttractionOK today is about fear: fear you don’t know you have, fear you refuse to look at and acknowledge…so I guess it’s about denial as well.
As one of our mentors Tony Robbins says ‘If you don’t have the money you want in your life, you associate more pain with having it than with not having it’. Clear and simple. Also a sentence that has most people launch into DEEP denial – ‘No way!!! That may be true for others, but it’s definitely not true for me….why, if I had more money my life would be perfect! I’d do this, and that, and the other thing…’
I’m not even going to ask you if it’s true for you – IT IS. The more important question is, what are you afraid of?…
So today’s exercise is: picture yourself with all the money and financial resources you say you want. Take a gooood look at it…now put the excitement and happiness and shopping aside, and look behind this vision. Look to your relationships, both with those you love and to your current self. Remember that your subconscious mind and the Universe are ALWAYS trying to protect you from situations in which you will feel pain. So what would be painful about having money? What would happen that your mind is keeping you from?…What would it mean if you had way more money – than you have now, than your parents ever had, than your friends have…?

Most of my pain centers around two things.
1. Work is boring and exhausting. I’m grateful for the jobs I’ve had and the people I’ve met, but I know I’m not filling my potential. One of the reasons I keep paper and pen around is because something will pop into my head – a writing scene or idea, for example.
2. Everything major happens at home and elsewhere while I’m at work. Cookie, Picker, Maggie – all have died while I’m at work or gone somewhere. I don’t want to leave my Heidi –yep, my dogs are my children.
We’re moving sometime this spring, and still planning on going to Phoenix for graduation, and I have travel plans for times during the next 4-5 years — all things that make being at/having work more painful.
I’m not someone who handles change and rejection and confrontations well.
It’s much less painful to live under the radar – until the money issue shows repeatedly.
