I just talked to a client about money and what she described as her problems with money and managing her money.  At the end of the talk she came to the conclusion that this was only a story that she was telling herself.  This story did not have much merit.

By telling herself this story she became powerless with money and afraid.  When she shifted her perspective she became more powerful and resourceful.  The fear was gone.  The economy is still in a bad shape, but she is not.  Instead of fear, the naturally resourceful woman stepped out of it, knowing that she could handle whatever would come her way.

It is amazing the power that our stories can have over us.  Our subconscious mind takes the stories we say as being the truth and does everything to make sure they are true.

I have tested this in a very simple way when I misplace things.  I used to berate myself for doing so and kept on about I couldn’t find anything.  One time I caught myself, stopped the old story and said “I always find it in the end”.  Then I looked around and found what I was looking for and in a place I had looked before.  Since then I have used this again and again, and always with the same results.

By changing the story I saved myself a lot of aggravation and time.  My subconscious mind was only fulfilling the order that I had given with my story.  That is what it does.  The same thing happens when we talk about how bad the economy is and so on.  The subconscious mind picks that up and points to all the things that support this view of the economical situation.

To change the story we have to change the story we tell.  Give the subconscious mind something good to work with and make it come true.

Love and peace,
