Here’s the thing, when we feel badly about spending money, we project feelings of “lack” out into the universe.
When we project feelings of lack, the universe brings us more reasons to feel lack. It’s a vicious cycle.
The truth is, to manifest more money, we need to be projecting feelings of abundance, not lack! Even when the money is leaving our hands, we need to feel good about it.
Unfortunately, spending guilt is something many of us have been trained into projecting.
Most parents, teachers and financial “gurus” will tell you it’s wise for you to save your pennies.
There is a very widespread limiting belief about money that you have to save it in order to be prosperous.
Now, while we’d all like to have some more cash in the bank, this focus on saving often translates into a fear of spending.
We believe that in order to have money we can’t spend it, and this can create some real problems when you are trying to manifest more money.
If every time you spend your money you feel fear, you’ll never really be able to accumulate the kind of money you really want to see in your account!
So, what can you do about spending guilt? How do you erase that guilt so you can manifest more money?
Here’s something easy we’ve learned that works well: focus on the good that comes from spending.
Often, when we spend our money, we become focused on negative-projecting thoughts like “I didn’t really need that,” “I could have saved that money for something else,” or “that was a wasteful purchase.”
If thoughts like these cross your mind regularly when you spend, here is an idea for you to focus on the next time you go shopping:
Think about the way that your purchase is going to positively impact other people.
For example, through purchasing an item, you are pumping more money into the economy. Because of your purchases, people have jobs, and are able to put food on their tables. Because of your purchases, businesses stay in business, and products that we all appreciate continue to be circulated.
So each time you spend money, take a moment to pat yourself on the back for contributing to the financial health of humanity. Take a moment to be grateful for your ability to give back financially through your purchases.
Thinking about how your purchases help the world is a much more empowering and positive thought to project into the universe, and it is one that will help you manifest more money
