Everyone and Everything prospers me now!

One of my good friends called me last night in a bit panic about money. He's a freelancer like me and his bank account is almost empty. He was spiralling into catastrophic thinking so I tried to get him to come back to the present moment instead of picturing himself homeless, pushing his shopping cart around Copenhagen with all his belongings.

I really understand how he feels because I've lived as a freelancer my whole life too...  So it made me think of my own good advice to myself whenever I find myself spiralling into gloom and doom.

Here's what I tell myself. I say... Barbara, it's important to focus on this moment - on the NOW - on reality. And right now your refrigerator is full of food and you are in fact just finishing up an assignment and you did pay your rent. So right now, the reality is the Universe REALLY IS SUPPORTING YOU. That's the reality. That's what's really going on.

Then the next thing I ask myself is what can I realistically do TODAY to generate new business or new contacts to ensure that money keeps coming to me. And then I get busy doing that. And try to stay focused on today, on this moment, on the Goodness of NOW.

Then the next thing I do is always read something spiritual and uplifting about the abundant supply that is at all times available to all of us.

And finally, I choose some affirmations that feel right to me and say then throughout my day. Some of my favorite prosperity affirmations are:

Everyone and Everything prospers me now.

I give thanks that Divine Substance sustains and prospers me now.

Money comes to me from all directions!

The walls of lack and delay / Now crumble away / and I enter my promised land / under grace in perfect ways.   (Florence Shovel Shinn)

I call upon Divine Love to perform any miracle needed in this situation!

The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall now want! (Read the whole psalm)

And then I go about my day, trusting in the Goodness of Life.

Hope this helps!
