Where is your financial thermostat set? Is it too high for wealth and abundance or too low for “Not enough”? Are you set to strive or thrive? The answer is easy. Just look at your life. Your thoughts and beliefs about money are reflected in precise detail in your environment. What does your environment tell you? Whether you live a rich life, a poor life, or somewhere in between, it’s all determined by the setting of your financial thermostat.
Your financial thermostat is so wired that whether you experience a big setback or a big windfall, you’ll eventually find yourself back where you started. That’s why lottery winners are often broke again in two years. If your financial thermostat is set to “Poverty”, any wealth that comes your way will be a memory before you know it. On the other hand, if your financial thermostat is set to “Midas Touch,” you’ll move through any financial reversal and regain (or exceed) your high level of prosperity with ease and grace. Think of Donald Trump. Even though he was at one point over $2 billion in debt, his financial thermostat is set to “Billionaire!” and he’s back on top with an estimated net worth of $5 billion.
When we were children, we were taught how to think about money. They taught us how much or how little we can have and how difficult or easy it is to get money. Some of us have been taught to think that the rich are greedy and to believe that having money is bad or unspiritual. Although your financial thermostat was set by others in childhood, the good news is that it is now YOUR thermostat and you can reset it to whatever level of prosperity you desire.
Let’s start with a little quiz:
- Do you experience more scarcity and lack or wealth and abundance?
- Do you think you can have what you really want or do you settle for what you think you can afford?
- Are you a good money manager or is money “slipping through your fingers”?
- Do you work hard for your money or let your money work hard for you?
- Does it seem like no matter how much money comes in, there’s never enough?
How would you do? Did you notice any “stinky thoughts” around money? If so, now is a good time to reset your financial thermostat. Here are five ways to raise your thermostat and become a vibrational complement to ever-flowing abundance:
(1) Replace old, tired, and limiting beliefs with new, empowering beliefs, such as:
- This is a Universe of Abundance and I freely and joyfully tap into that Abundance.
- I know that I can be and do and have anything I want.
- I am an excellent money manager.
- My money works hard and I work smart.
- I am so happy and grateful now that I know there is always enough.
(2) Write a new script for your financial life. Put yourself in the main role as a hero, as a winner, as a great success, and write a new story of riches and riches. Not only is it a fun exercise, it’s also a powerful way to increase the setting on your financial thermostat.
(3) Keep an Abundance Journal and record every penny that comes your way. When you receive income in any form, write it down, appreciate it, and joyfully declare “I’m a money magnet!”
(4) Commit to your financial success. Stay focused on the level of prosperity you want, take inspired action, and hold on until you see the evidence (Ka-Ching!) that your financial thermostat has been reset for “Big Bucks.”
(5) Associated with positive and successful people. Birds of the same plumage fly together, right? Reading books, attending seminars, and spending time with like-minded people who encourage you to believe in your success and teach you how to think like a rich person are great ways to raise your financial thermostat.
So what do you think? Are you ready to release any poverty awareness you picked up along the way? Are you willing to consciously choose thoughts and actions that contribute to abundance and success? As you raise your financial thermostat to let in more money, you simultaneously raise your overall vibration to let in more love, more joy, more health, more confidence, more peace of mind, and more fun adventures of all kinds. It’s a package. Take a moment now to imagine and savor how fantastic you’ll feel and how magnificent your life will be when you set your financial thermostat to “Sky High.”
