How to reset your financial thermostat

Where is your financial thermostat set? Are you too high for wealth and abundance or too low for “Not enough”? Are you set up 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 rich, poor, 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 huge setback or a huge windfall, you’ll eventually find yourself back where you started. That’s why lottery winners often go broke again within 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 ride through any financial reversal and regain (or exceed) your high level of prosperity with ease and grace. Think Donald Trump. Despite being over $2 billion in debt at one point, his financial thermostat is set to “Billionaire!” and he’s back on top with an estimated net worth of $5 billion.

As 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 not spiritual. 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 does money “slip through your fingers”?
• Do you work hard for your money or do you let your money work hard for you?
• Does it seem that no matter how much money comes in, there is 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 match for the abundance that always flows:

(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 everything 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 leading role as a hero, as a winner, as a great success, and write a new story of wealth and wealth. 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 desire, take inspired action, and hang in there until you see 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 all great ways to raise your financial thermostat.

So what do you think? Are you ready to release any poverty consciousness 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 great you will feel and how great your life will be when you set your financial thermostat to “Sky High.”
