Wealth and Self Talk: Opening to Receive Wealth
Believe it or not, your self-talk on a daily basis plays a large role in the wealth you will allow into your life. Most often you are probably not even aware of your self-talk because it runs in the background, but if you tune in from time to time you may be shocked at some of the things you hear.
Some common examples might be: "I don't think my fiancial situation will ever improve. I'm so tired of having to struggle for every penny I get. The universe must hate me to keep punishing me like this. Why can't I get ahead? What is wrong with me?"
These thoughts may not be fully obvious to you while you're focusing on your daily activities, but if you tune in on a regular basis you will become more aware of them over time. However, it's much more important to start doing something about these negative thoughts even if you're not always consciously aware of them.
A great way to start doing this is by actively engaging in positive self-talk on a regular basis.
Say things like, "I know that I deserve to be wealthy. I know that more abundance is coming to me now. The universe is helping me to change my life for the better. All is well. I open my mind and heart to wealth now."
It's also important to keep countering your negative self-talk with positive phrases like these whenever you catch yourself thinking in a negative fashion. Example: You catch yourself thinking, "I need to make more money, but I doubt I could find a better paying job in this economy."
When you notice that you are focusing on a self-defeating thought like this, immediately turn it around by saying, "I may not know how to get a better paying job yet, but the universe has unlimited resources and can lead me to the right opportunities. I'm going to let go of my worries and stay open to the good things that are waiting for me. It will all work out perfectly."
You may not notice a big difference in results right away, but the more you think and speak positive phrases like this, the more you are going to counter the habitual negative self-talk. Eventually, you will completely override the negative thoughts with empowering, wealth-friendly thoughts.
Keep in mind that it does take time for this process to show any tangible results. Before you see any outer changes, you will probably feel an inner shift taking place; first a subtle feeling of peacefulness about money, then a growing sense of hopefulness and enthusiasm about your financial situation. And the more you work at it, the stronger these feelings will grow, and the more your wealth intentions will begin to seep into your physical surroundings.
