Is Your Mind Leaky And Costing You Money?
Today I went outside and I heard a strange noise. It sounded like the sprinkler system was on. Now I knew that my sprinkler system doesn’t run during the day. I only water at night.
I then decided to see if my neighbors were watering.
Nope. They’re not watering either. But this noise was so loud I knew something was going on. Something I couldn’t see but I could hear.
Sure enough as I continued to look around a little bit I saw a puddle of water where it shouldn’t be. I dug down a little bit and to my surprise I found a leak in my water main just shooting all over the place. I even got a bit of a shower in the process when I uncovered the leak.
Getting wet wasn’t all bad. It’s over 110 degrees in Phoenix right now and it felt good.
The bad part is I had a leak, didn’t know it, and I don’t know how long this has been going on.
It’s time to Call a Professional who knows what he’s doing to fix the problem.
As all this was going on, it occurred to me that many of my clients also have a leak going on that’s literally draining their cash flow, bank account, and killing their quality of life but they don’t even know about it until… we dig a little deeper and discover the leak.
What’s this leak all about?
It’s simply this. What you think about most during a given day is usually very unconscious. Most of the time you’re not even aware of your thoughts. Sure you catch some of them here and there but do you really know what you’re thinking about the majority of the time?
The answer is NO!
And that’s where the problem begins. There are things happening out of your awareness that are creating exactly what you have right now. Until you become consciously aware of them you can’t change them and thus change your situation.
It’s just like the leak I discovered. I wasn’t aware that it was even happening because it was underground. And until today it was probably small enough where I couldn’t hear anything either thus giving me the illusion that everything is all right even though I had a problem.
The real question is how do you fix a money leak?
Let’s continue…
The first step to fixing any problem is awareness. If you’re not aware of the problem you can’t fix it. That’s pretty simple and straightforward, right?
Now how do you become aware of the problem when it is unconscious and hidden beneath the surface?
Do you have any ideas?
Want a hint?
Before I tell you, I want explain how your unconscious mind works. One of the rules the unconscious mind lives by is it will present issues for resolution when you have all the resources necessary to solve the issue. It will keep presenting the issue in more dramatic ways each time until you resolve what ever has to be resolved.
I had a client who had money challenges and her unconscious mind had a challenge with her receiving more money. Every time she received more money, her unconscious mind created a situation where she had to spend the new money.
At first her unconscious mind created car problems.
Because she didn’t resolve the issue, her unconscious mind stepped up and gave her something bigger to focus on. Sure enough my client made more money and graduated to car accidents… and it wasn’t just one car accident… it was numerous accidents.
Each accident progressively got worse.
Her unconscious mind was determined for her to pay attention and get the underlying issue resolved. After the several accidents I asked my client when she was going to be ready to face the problem? She said: “Not yet.”
Needless to say, she got into another accident that sent her to the hospital.
When she called me after she got out of the hospital she told me her car was totaled and she was really banged up bad. I asked her again, when do you want to resolve this problem? Do you want to wait until you get killed?
At this point there were no more arguments. She said: “Let’s do it now.”
After working with her and correcting the root cause of the problem, guess what happened?
Viola! No more accidents… And she was able to keep her new money.
What was the problem anyway?
The problem was she had an underlying issue that said if I make more money I’ll be a bad person… and I don’t want to be a bad person… so I have to get rid of this money.
Sounds crazy doesn’t it?
It is crazy. But there’s the leak. And once she fixed the leak there were no more car accidents.
What do you think you should be paying attention to in order to discover the leak?
The simple and easy way is to pay attention to your thoughts. Don’t just wander around aimlessly ignoring what’s going on inside. It’s too easy to do that. Focus on the thoughts that are going through your mind. Work with one thought at a time.
If you’re having a challenge focusing on your thoughts, pay attention to things that are happening to you… especially things that are not pleasant. These incidents will often give you clues as to what’s going on inside. When you focus on the incidents you’ll discover the thoughts behind the incidents.
Once you’re aware of your thoughts then ask yourself the following questions:
- Is this thought negative or positive?
- If it’s positive, that’s great! Move onto the next thought.
- If the thought is negative ask:
- What is this really all about?
- What are you being negative about?
- What do you think is going to happen if you keep holding onto this negative thought?
- What has this negative thought cost you?
- What will holding onto this negative thought cost you if you don’t get rid of it now?
This is all about becoming aware. Once you’ve asked yourself these questions, you’ll discover the problem and become aware of it.
The next step is acceptance.
These are your thoughts so just accept them for what they are. They are neither good nor bad just what you make of them. My belief is thoughts are either empowering or non empowering. You may want to adopt this as well. It makes life easier and it makes it easier to accept what’s going on.
And the last step is change.
Now that you’re aware of the thought and you’ve accepted it, it’s time to change it. This is not just a matter of positive thinking here. This is real change and it may take a few times before you fully get it. It can work very quickly when you remain aware.
To make the change, take your negative thought and reframe it into a positive thought.
As an example, if you had a thought like: “Rich people make me mad.”
How would you make this positive?
There are lots of ways aren’t there. One way is to think: “Rich people challenge me and make me want to be more like them.” Or another way is: “Rich people know how to stretch my boundaries and I love it because I’m growing richer every day.”
With thinking like this you can’t help but get rid of any challenge you may have had and stop your financial leak.
The key is you must watch your thinking because your thinking is creating every result in your life. Your thoughts are all called Internal Sensory Representations. Each Internal Sensory Representation will create a result in your life and your mind doesn’t care weather it is good or bad.
