More on working with the laws of attraction.
Shelley: I often worry about not being able to pay the bills on time. I want to be free from all debt & it’s slow going paying down the balances even though I pay extra. I often find myself saying we can’t afford this or that…the fun extra stuff. I have keep an online gratitude journal. I also have the Louise Hay book you mentioned. I guess the thing I have the most problem is with raising my energy & not letting the reality of our situation drag me down. We’re not in dire straits by any means, but we’re not as comfortable as I’d like to be either. Also, we are a one-income family. I’d love to be able to find a way to earn cash and yet still be here to homeschool my children.

Has this ever happened? And even if it does, what’s the worst that will happen? A late payment fee? There are no debt police out there to hunt you down. You’re quite safe.
You won’t be in this situation forever - it’s a temporary glitch on your road to financial independence. Just keep paying down your balances and don’t think about it further. Stay AWAY from all forms of credit in future because buying something on credit is a negative affirmation, plus it drains your energy because it keeps you chained to the past while you pay it offf. Only use your cc for emergencies like medical expenses, home or car emergencies.
The Dave Ramsey plan is a good one - I am applying the debt snowball principal to my 3 credit cards and the first one will be paid off this month. Then I will apply the amount I have been paying off that card to the one with the next lowest balance. It’s critical to pay extra off credit cards each month - if you only pay the minimum payment, you’ll still be paying it off at the end of time. Pay at least the amount of the interest as an extra payment on top of the minimum.
In terms of raising your energy, you can start doing this by:
- Watching what you eat - eliminate low energy processed foods and sugar.
- Be aware of what you are exposing yourself to - late night crime shows with violence, talk back radio where people tawk tawk tawk about thier problems, even shows like Jerry Springer which might be entertaining, but they are certainly low energy.
- Expose yourself to uplifting things like positive or spiritual music, audio books, tv shows and movies with a positive theme etc.
- Every time you catch yourself thinking ‘we can’t afford it’, just be gentle with yourself and affirm something like ‘I’m excited to be getting out of debt’ ‘I’m excited to be building wealth’ and so forth. Getting out of debt and living within your means is a huge personal achievement and try and look at it like that rather than as a chore or a sacrifice. It’s a huge achivement and one to be very proud of.
- Take a walk every day - exercise clears your energy.
- When you have a shower, visualise the water washing away any negative residue of the day.
- Ask your angels and gudes to surround you and uplift you.
- Pray if you are spiritual or religious.
- Declutter. Let me repeat that. Declutter. Having piles of crap around you drags your energy down like no one’s business. You are energetically attached to everything you own. If you are in a good space, that’s fine, but if you cling or hoard through fear or a poverty mentality, you’re having your energy drained daily - it’s like death by millions of paper cuts.
- Love everything you have. You mgihtn’t be able to afford to have exactly what you want at this point in time, but love what you do have - clean it,polish it, display it to it’s best advantage. If you have things you don’t want to get rid of but don’t really need, just tidy them and store them neatly. I have gotten rid of hundreds of books over the years and I kind of wish I had kept them, but part of my knows they are better off at the libraries I donated them to or with the people I gave them to to read.
As you might have noticed, I have a lot to say on this topic. Please just ignore anything that doesn’t work for you or you don’t agree with. LOA and energy work is such a personal thing and there is no such thing as one size fits all.
Oh and another thing I recommend you do, if you want to, is to something symbolic to release all the unhelpful energy cords that are tying you to the past through behaviour or belief, and also those negative cords to your parents and family line that may be causing you to perpetuate a poverty consciousness.
