My entire life, I always had issues with money. I never felt what I made was enough. If I made more, I would spend more. I constantly found myself in debt from the minute I got my first credit card.
There were several times in my life when I had to ask for serious help just to keep feeling like I could breathe. After college, when I found myself so far into debt and had credit card companies calling me on a daily basis, I asked my grandfather for help.
He paid off all my credit cards and made sure that I was on a payment plan to pay him back each and every cent.
The moment I was free and clear of that debt and my grandpa was paid off, I felt uneasy and soon found myself back in debt all over again.
Just a year later, I had to ask my parents to co-sign on a loan for me so that I could consolidate my debts all over again. This was not only embarrassing for me, but I also felt so frustrated with myself and could not understand how this happened again.
That is when I started learning about the Universal Laws. At that point in my life, I was $60,000 in debt and paying the loan that my parents co-signed for me.
To say that my money issues were heavy is an understatement. I felt so much stress and anxiety. And then I learned something VERY important that started to shift everything for me.
Money is just an effect. It is not the cause. WOW!!!
I had learned, as you probably did as well, that money is the cause and not the effect. Meaning that money was so important, and I felt so powerless to it and that I did not have enough.
Back then, no matter how much I did have, it would have never been enough because that is what I had been programmed for with money.
Money was something that other people had, and if I didn’t have enough of it, I needed to be jealous, envious, and feel bad for myself. Money was the thing that was going to make me happy when I did have the illusionary “enough” amount. Money was the thing that was going to solve all of my problems. I was also told that those with money are greedy, boastful, and that I did not want to be like those people (those with money). There were such mixed messages happening that I was just as confused as the people who raised me regarding this thing called money.
So to say that I picked up and developed the relationship with money that my parents had is also an understatement. We all do.
We all have a relationship with money. And like everything in our universe, it first starts energetically and then of course, it manifests physically. What we feel energetically about money (e.g. feeling that we don’t have enough of it, not being satisfied with what we do have, giving our power away to it) we will continue to attract to us. What we first feel energetically will then manifest in the outer world of form.
I invite you to really explore your own connection with money and abundance and to learn to work with matter and substance in new ways.
Money does not just come to special people or (you fill in the blank) “those” kind of people. Within you lies all the answers and talents you need to create unlimited abundance for yourself, and to have what you need and want both physically and spiritually in every area of your life. YOU CAN HAVE IT ALL! And that means financially too!
I get so sad when I see someone struggling with the issue of money because I remember being there too, struggling for so long. So many people think, “Christy, you have money so that is why you don’t struggle with it.” But it was not always like that for me. I changed my relationship with money by changing what I thought about money, the people that had it, and my beliefs about it, and then it manifested in an abundant amount.
This is such an important topic because when you do have money, you do have less stress, but know that money alone can’t make you happy. It is not that one missing thing or puzzle piece that will finally fill up those perceived holes that we have. Believe me, I used to think so! It does make life easier. It allows you to have what you want, to give generously, and to provide for those you love, but it does NOT have the power that we assign to it.
Money is amazing, and I am so grateful to have the type of loving relationship with it that I do now. I have come a long way, and in the next several months I will be sharing information with you to allow you to start a new and healthier relationship with money as well.
The first step is to examine your relationship with money. If you had money in your hand, how would you feel about it? Do you feel truly grateful for what you have, or do you feel it is not enough? Truly examine the feelings that you have about money. Be as real and as honest as you can because this really is the first step in changing your relationship. When you change your relationship, it will then manifest differently in your life. I promise.
Have a great December and a Happy New Year!
