I'm spending a LOT right now

Here's how I'm dealing with it ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ Right now I'm spending a whole bunch of money...and it has me thinking a lot about scarcity and abundance. Over the next couple of weeks I'll likely spend around six figures. Why? Well, I've decided to sell my house. In order to get it ready to sell I've gotta spend around $50,000 on different stuff on the property. I know that money will all come back in multiples when the house sells, but it's still a lot of money. (It's appreciated quite a bit since I bought it a few years ago.) I'm spending tens of thousands on some business related expenses. Again, those are worth it and they'll come back in multiples but it's still a lot to send out in one wire. Plus there's a handful of other things I'd been putting off that I don't need to put off any longer. As I realized how much I was gonna be spending pretty much all at once I noticed some scarcity coming up. I can technically easily afford all this stuff, however I like to have a certain amount in my account. Lately I've had as much as I've ever had. However, the brain isn't always rational when it comes to money. Even though I can afford it, these expenses/investments all piling up at once triggered some fear. Not like "I'm worried about money" or "I think about it all the time." Just "Oh, there's some fear coming up." I don't often feel that way because of how hard I've worked on my relationship to money. I find that the more I do my money meditations and practices, the more flows to me. But whenever I have a huge month I tend to stop my practices because I'm feeling super abundant. This is a mistake lots of people make. They forget that the destination was reached because of the practices. The practices are what you got you to that place you wanted to be. But now that you're there, you stop the practices. It would be like a professional athlete training constantly then winning a gold medal. Then deciding they don't need to practice anymore because they're the best in the world. But it's the practice that made them the best. So here's what I'm doing during the time where I'm spending a lot. 1. Daily money meditations. No days off. It's 10 minutes a day. If I can't make time for that, I don't deserve it. 2. Spending while imagining 10x coming back. This is an old trick I learned years ago. Whenever I send out a big amount I imagine 10x that amount coming back to me. The reality is most of the money I'm spending isn't actually an "expense." They're investments that will come back to me. I just don't know when they'll come back to me. 3. Using this as an opportunity to spend on things I've been putting off. Instead of hoarding money, I'm going to put even more into the universe all at once. 4. Daily "Reality Engineering" practices. No days off. 5. Doing important work. I'm not sitting here saying that ONLY thinking will change everything. Actions matter. But it's easier to take the right actions when you focus on having the right thoughts. The primary goal of all of this is to maintain a nearly constant feeling of abundance despite the fact that I'm sending lots of money away from me. The reason I'm sharing this is because my subscribers seem to enjoy it when I talk about what I'm personally doing to work on my relationship to money. I don't believe we're ever "done" in improving how we relate to money. We just rise up in levels as time progresses - if we do the work. There's a couple things you can do to improve your relationship to money. 1. Do these [free meditations on my YouTube Channel](. 2. Do the work I teach in [Reality Engineering 1.0]( and [2.0](. They're both Pay What You Want so you can pay $100 or $1. 3. Do the [Remove Your Money Blocks course]( if you're really serious about transforming how you relate to money. Hopefully you found that helpful or interesting.
