3. If you dwell within abundance you will have abundance.
-Marianne Williamson

4. Our Relationship to Money
Starts young, we pickup a financial blueprint that affects us uniquely
Some grew up in lack and hence never feel they have enough
Some grew up in abundance resulting in money flowing freely for them
Whatever your background, for most fear shows up in someway

5. Gabby’s Financial Story
Grew up in affluent town, but family not as wealthy, she felt like an outsider
Money was a big and constant concern
She felt guilty buying something new
Had a hard time receiving gifts, because she didn’t want her parents to spend money she perceived they didn’t have

6. Today Gabby is Abundantly Minded
At 21 she committed to never fearing not having enough money
Her decision to transcend her lack mentality majorly boosted her relationship to money

7. The Ego & Money
When you value money as an indicator of status and self-worth, this is a sign the ego is prevailing
It convinces you that having a certain amount of money can complete you

8. The Ego Mentality
Supports an addictive and controlling relationship to money, leading you to feel as though you never have enough
This is another wicked cycle

9. An Alternative to the Ego Mentality
Valuing money as a source of creating, serving, and enjoying the gifts of life, brings a much different energetic connection to your finances

10. A Striking Truth
Money is not the key to self-worth and happiness
Whenever we place our happiness and peace in anything outside of ourselves we will inevitably feel unfulfilled and stuck
We as miracle workers can accept this and choose a new perspective (Yay!)

11. Shifting
Gabby speaks to shifting her focus from needing money for her self-worth to wanting money to support her great work

12. Shifting
She also let go of her fear of spending and accepted that a huge part of manifesting financial abundance was in enjoying the gifts life had to offer

13. Shifting
Her final shift was in donating money to charities and spiritual centers as well as employing people in her business
This enabled her to accept money as a resource to do creative, service-minded work and share more love with the world

14. No Wonder
The world places a huge emphasis on earning capacity, we are bound to get caught up in the ego’s grasp
We can get out, with MCM, and unlearn our ego’s money fear

15. Witnessing Our Financial Fears
The ego has many tricks for keeping us in the shadows and blocking abundance
To clear the blocks we have to first become conscious of them
Be honest with yourself
Be gentle with yourself, there isn’t anything you can do until you can see

16. Ego Tricks
The lack mentality- in tough economic times the ego revs up its game. Seems impossible to get a raise or make more money. Remember our thoughts create our experiences, so a lack mentality creates a lack bank account

17. Ego Tricks
Believes that passion has no purpose in making money
Believes we must take practical action to make money, convincing us we can either do what we love or we can make money, creativity is only for hobbies

18. Ego Tricks
A get mentality versus a give mentality
We believe we need to get more to be happy
Peace and salvation have a dollar amount
ACIM teaches, “To have, give all to all.”

19. Ego Tricks
Creating addictive patterns around money
Gambling and debt
We can become powerless over money, affecting all aspects of our lives

20. Ego Tricks
Emphasizing the external power of money
Whenever we place power in something outside of ourselves, we have aligned with our ego
Money can feel like a source of safety, security and happiness, in essence replacing love
Giving money this power, means constantly needing more

21. Ego Tricks
Using money to deepen belief in separation
Money as a status symbol, equating wealthy people as happy people
This separates and disconnects us from others
Having money, the ego makes you more special, not having it less special

22. Ego Tricks
Uncreative with money
The ego mind doesn’t lead you to innovative financial solutions, but your inner guide does

23. Ego Tricks
There’s never enough for the ego
We push for more and never believe there is enough

24. The Ego’s Tricks Can Be Endless
The blocks can be endless too
Putting your spiritual practice first can release these blocks
For this week, make the commitment to put it first
Go about your routine, but in your mind, know it comes first
Show up for this assignment and your perspectives will shift, enjoy watching the miracles unfold!
