Powerful Reframes for Deeper Trust
What creates stuckness is mostly your framing. What creates flow and abundance is also mostly your framing.
Here are some ways to keep oneself in the flow of abundance:
"This challenge is an invitation to be more creative. This challenge is an invitation to surrender and trust life. This challenge is an opportunity to sculpt my character. The correct solution is never to overwork myself. If I'm stressing out about this, I'm not trusting life enough. Life always lets me take a break when I really need one. This challenge is a loving gift. This life is the greatest adventure I could ever wish for. This is a reminder to appreciate the little things in life. I remember to be happy, to connect, and to love this life no matter what happens financially. Let me appreciate this next step. Let me go for a walk and appreciate the beauty in everything I see. The challenge is real, but resisting it and stressing over it is optional and unnecessary."
"How could this challenge actually be fun? How can I be more playful about this challenge? If I had to go through another financial collapse like the one that just happened, could I still trust life? If I lost everything financially, could I still live an amazing life and be happy each day? What's more important to me than money? Ah, yes... so many things... relationships, caring, being of service, writing, speaking, meditating, running, kissing, cuddling, intimacy, deep conversations, vegan stuff or a good steak, better friends than I had, looking up at the moonlight, walks in nature in the city gardens, traveling, reading, learning, growing, doing weird experiments, massages, and a gazillion other things. This is a powerful reminder not to fritter away another year of my life resisting what is."
"Resistance is feckless, futile, 'even for the Borg Collective, Star Trek fans.' Life never threatens me; it only invites me to grow. Life is trying to steer me away from the false path, which includes helping me avoid the mistake of treating money as a power source. Money is form of of energy but not a power source! My creativity is! I need to spend some time doing the simpler things I love."
"If I felt totally in abundance right now, what would I do in this next moment? This is a just a test to see if I can keep my vibe up no matter what. So I'll do my level best because that will sculpt my character in a good way. If I believe I'm doing my best and still fail, I have nothing to regret about it since I couldn't have done any better, knowing what I knew at the time. All I can do is learn and grow from it. "
"Am I approaching this from the right heartset (appreciation, gratitude, compassion, unconditional love)? Do I need to express some self-compassion right now? Could this be an invitation to ask for help? Which path through this challenge do I expect life to reward? Which path do I expect life to punish? Money is just energy and a tool for my growth.Trying to make more money for its own sake may be a dead end and never work out, but money seems to flow into my life when I feel tremendous grace, ease, and lightness, when I'm doing something much more interesting than chasing or clinging to money. "
" How would my best self approach this? Which choice would my future self be proud of? Which choice would disappoint my future self? Where's the trap in this decision that I need to avoid? Where's the tempting partial match that I'm smart enough to dodge? Money flees from neediness and clinging to money, instead it flows to where there is energy flow and it loves my playfulness and generosity and sharing. My only real option here is to trust life. Resisting this experience is a waste of energy and cannot possibly help, so how can I accept this challenge instead? How can I embrace it? How can I appreciate it? How can I love it?"
"Thank you, God's Universe... for everything... seriously. Sorry I doubted you. Where's the path down which I just want to cry? Which door am I most afraid to open next? Where am I playing this game too small? How can I stretch a bit more? If I knew this was a dream world, what would I do differently? If I knew this was a simulation, what would I do differently?"
"How am I co-creating this? How did my own thoughts and beliefs get me here? Instead of worrying about what people might do, can I trust the humans to behave like human beings? If I can never hide my true intentions and everyone sees right through me, can I simply pause, drop my shields, and ask life for some guidance here?"
"What synchronicities are directing me now and where? Now if the synchronicities have dried up, how do I bring them back? Ah, yes, find and follow the path with a heart. Does this path even have a heart? Do we have to stick a heart into an empty chest cavity? The Universe is always and forever 100% on my side. Which path would I follow if I knew the Universe would back me up 100%? What path do I keep thinking about and resisting? What would I rather focus on than money? If I lived in the Star Trek universe and money were obsolete, how would I live my life? How can I step closer to that today? How can I make someone else's life better today? My own?
What could I create or share that may brighten someone's day? Or my own? How can I turn one of my toughest challenges into an insightful gift for someone else?"
"Now I don't need to make it complicated if it doesn't need to be. What bigger challenge am I avoiding by wallowing in a scarcity one? I'm 'way more powerful than fear. Fake Energy Appearing Real!"
I am far more powerful than anyone's else's judgment and criticism or efforts to reduce the value and importance of what I choose to do. Let me pause and tune into the signal of inspiration. Where does it want to go next? What's my best intention here? Where is the path with a heart?"
Okay, hopefully you get the idea. Framing abundance of courage works this way too.
When you frame scarcity and scarcity-based challenges as threats, you'll likely waste about half of your energy resisting those imagined threats. When you expend energy like that, every other problem and challenge seems twice as hard.
Have you noticed how draining and demotivating even little tasks seem when you're in scarcity mode? Even tasks that take very little time like paying a bill or having to repeat and redo what you just half finished seem like big deals when you're resisting scarcity.
When you release that resistance and replace it with trust, everything else gets easier because you're not longer expending so much energy on your shields.
