You can use the law of attraction money affirmations to train your mind to focus on abundance rather than scarcity. Many people unconsciously focus on lack and scarcity and train their mind on the opposite of what they really want. A scarcity mindset money affirmation might go something like this:
“There’s never enough”, “Why am I always broke?”, “Why can’t I…?”, “Rich people are greedy”, “I only need enough” and so on. Many of these ideas may have been formed in your early life and of course from real pain and problems. But you may perpetuate the ideas because you’ve made them strong beliefs over many years. By repeating them to yourself constantly, it’s very difficult to escape the reality of what you in fact are creating, based on your thinking.
Law of attraction money affirmations affirm abundance, gratitude and wealth, rather than refer to poverty, scarcity or limitation. They may be ideas like: “Money comes easily and frequently”. “I’m grateful for what I already have”, “Rich people are generous”, “I enjoy my life”etc. They affirm the positive rather than being based in lack, fear or limitation. Even unconscious beliefs about rich or wealthy people can keep you in lack and limitation if you hold an unconscious judgement about those who have more than you.
Law Of Attraction Money Affirmations – Asking Better Questions
Often our affirmations are spoken to ourselves silently in our own minds. These are the most powerful of all because there is no escape from them! Unless we take control of our minds, they will lead us somewhere we really don’t desire to go. If you are constantly referring to the struggle and pain in your life, you are reaffirming it to your unconscious mind, which creates more of it.
Asking yourself questions such as “why is my life so bad?”, “Why am I always so broke?” only reaffirms the problems and calls on your unconscious mind to answer them in a negative way. Answers will of course reaffirm the negative too – “you’re always broke because you work in a low paid job, your outgoings are larger than your income” etc. “life is bad because of (list specific pains)” Your mind start searching for answers and pretty soon, you have a whole list of things to feel bad about!
Asking yourself better questions, which elicit more useful answers is a simple strategy to change the flow of negativity running silently in the background of your mind. Ask yourself how you can make a positive change. How can you feel better in this moment, even if nothing changes (on the outside). Reverse those negative questions such as “why am I always broke?”, to “what can I do differently?”, or “what am I grateful for right now?”.
Law Of Attraction Money Affirmations – Gratitude
Gratitude is the real game changer when it comes to law of attraction money affirmations. When we think about things to worry and get stressed about, we ask the wrong questions. We focus our mind on what is wrong with our life and become more and more dissatisfied with it as the answers come!
Gratitude does the opposite of this. If we focus our attention on what we are already grateful for in life, we start to open the door to more and more of what is good about our lives. To start overcoming a scarcity mindset to money, we first need to recognise what we are doing. If our mind is focused on the negative, we tend to create more of it. What we focus on expands. Gratitude is the key to unlocking this door and creating more of what we really want – things to be grateful for.
Even just a small shift in your mindset can alter your trajectory towards a happier and more pleasing life. Start with small things you can be grateful for, such as your health or your house. The clothes on your back or the computer in front of you. This shifts your awareness away from complaining and scarcity.
The “Storm” Of Appreciation
I read about this strategy in the book Ask And It Is Given by Esther and Jerry Hicks.
The “storm of appreciation” is a gratitude exercise in which you choose something to be grateful for. It could be something in the room you are currently in, for example. Look around you and notice something you like or appreciate. Think about it in greater detail and write down all the things you love about it in a journal.
You can also think of things in your life, experiences, people, friends or family. Write down those things and go into detail about what you appreciate about them. Make this a daily habit and take 10 minutes to really appreciate some aspect of your current life.
As you focus on things you appreciate, love and enjoy, you’ll be training your mind to find more of these kinds of things. What you focus on expands. So instead of focusing on problems and uncertainty (as with a scarcity mindset), you’re doing the opposite.
Make a daily habit out of doing this exercise and you’ll start to see your life changing within a few months.
Becoming More Conscious Of The Unconscious
Most of us have at least a little bit of scepticism, stagnation or anxiety when it comes to creating money. Those doubts and fears are “seeds” in what Napoleon Hill refers to the “rich garden of the subconscious mind” (in his book Think and Grow Rich).
“Weeds will grow in abundance, if seeds of a more desirable nature are not sown therein”. – Napoleon Hill
The “weeds” he refers to are those negative, anxious or limiting thoughts which keep us stuck in a place of lack and scarcity. We need to “weed” out those thoughts and replace them with thoughts of abundance instead.
How do we do this? By becoming more conscious of the thoughts which we give energy to. Our thoughts are often unconscious. That is, we are not aware of ourselves thinking them.
“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” – C.G. Jung
To change anything you first need to measure it. Unless you’re aware of your patterns of behaviour, you’ll keep doing the same things. To start measuring your thinking you can become an observer of your thoughts and your speech.
Meditation
Meditation is a useful exercise in learning how to observe your thinking patterns. When you meditate, you sit quietly and focus on your breathing, for example. The idea is to notice your thoughts but not become drawn into them. Just observe them for 5 to 10 minutes each day without getting drawn in. Over time as you develop this practice, you’ll start to become more aware of the inside chatter which (partly) is controlling your life.
As you learn to distance yourself from some of the less empowering thoughts you may observe, you can start to see more clearly and notice your disempowering thoughts around money, lack and limitation. Write them down and use them in the next exercise.
Noticing Your Old Mantras
As you observe your mental mantras, you’ll probably see some which aren’t very empowering affirmations. For me, when I first did this exercise I noticed a whole heap of negativity around money, lack, limitation and scarcity. There was also a huge “need” in my mental chatter and a lot of emotion attached to these ideas. You might notice thoughts about money too such as:
“Why am I aways broke?”,
“What’s wrong with me?”
“I can never get ahead?”
“If only things were different?”
“If only…”
Usually thoughts like these point to a greater pain which may be about something in your past. Uncovering this pain will be a huge step towards changing things. This is likely to be the route cause of your problems, whereas money, or lack of it is really just a symptom. Here’s a good book to read if this is the case for you.
Law Of Attraction Money Affirmations
To combat some old affirmations and mantras which run silently in the background of your mind, it can be useful to “arm” yourself with some new, more empowering ones. Making these old conversations more conscious is a good first step so you can stop giving them energy. You can also use more positive affirmations to replace the old, negative ones.
So “Why can’t I ever get ahead?” or “Why does nothing ever work out for me?” could be replaced by “Money comes easily and frequently”, for example.
Remember though that your old negative affirmations have been running in your mind for a long time. It’s likely that they are based on old, past traumas and pains which are well embedded into your unconscious mind. So you’ll need to do some work before these new ideas take hold. At first you might not believe them and so it will be harder to keep saying them. But if you persevere, you’ll start seeing some changes.
Affirm the positive, no matter how small, rather than repeating a mantra based on past difficulties and lack. Use your positive mantras when you’re feeling like complaining and repeat them over and over in your mind. Let your new law of attraction money affirmations become your “go-to” mantras in times of difficulty.
Reverse engineer your mantras to get what you really want. When you complain or moan, you’re repeating what you don’t want to yourself. You’re investing in the bad! To invest in the good you need to change your habits.
“I’m not good enough” becomes “I’m always growing”, or “I am good enough”
“I hate myself” becomes “sometimes I like myself” and eventually “I love myself”.
“I never get ahead” becomes “I’m always learning and growing” or “money comes easily and frequently”
“It’s a struggle” becomes “everything comes easily to me”
“Life is a struggle” becomes “I enjoy life” or “I live peacefully and easily”
Recap
To use the law of attraction money affirmations, first become more conscious of thoughts you are already giving energy to. Use meditation and appreciation exercises to help you focus on gratitude rather than lack, scarcity and struggle.
Find some new mantras/affirmations which offer a more positive outlook. Use them when you think of complaining and when your mind is racing with the negative. “money comes easily and frequently” is a perfect one to start with.
Repeat your mantra several hundred times daily, over and over to yourself. You can even do this quietly in your own head. Notice the negative internal resistance which will come up when you do this.
Uncover the deeper pain which your negativity might relate to. Learn to heal this by deeply loving and accepting yourself as you already are.
