One of the areas that I have faced the most challenges in my life is money. For a very long time money just seemed to come in and go straight back out to paying bills and debts. There have been times when I had £10 to last me for about 2 weeks, and I had to eat pasta and potatoes for days on end :-{
My first step was to find out what I thought and felt about being wealthy. I found that I had many negative beliefs that were attached to what it meant to have money in abundance. Many years ago I use to think that rich people were nasty, unlikable, selfish, big headed etc.
I realised that if this was the way I felt about people with money, then unconsciously I too believed that I would have become nasty, unlikable, selfish, big headed etc with money ( and who really wants to be that way?). These were ideas I developed from my upbringing, the media, my peers and personal life experiences.
What needed to happen first and foremost was a change my mind and perception of what it meant to be wealthy. So I changed my perceptions around what it meant to be wealthy and attached positive associations to who I would become when I became wealthy.
Money like everything else is energy, with a specific frequency. To attract something we have to be able to ‘tune in’ or vibrate at the same frequency. Its like looking for a radio station – except attracting money is more of an unconscious process. So unconsciously I was pushing money away from me.
On Sunday I spent the day at an event focused around assisting people to improve their financial situation. The focus was on assisting people to invest in business propositions that will enable them to profit and make more money.
One of the speakers at the event was Johnny Wimbrey. He is an amazing speaker and shared how he has made millions by the age of just 32.
Johnny has great charisma, charm and most of all a real passion for assisting others to achieve what he has done and more. I had the pleasure of hearing him speak and I am truly inspired by his story.
Johnny now has his own TV show in the US and is heading for even bigger things.
Change is a natural process. Everything and everyone changes. Our bodies change, nature changes, technology changes.
We can’t get away from the fact that change just happens – whether we like it or not. We don’t have to instruct our bodies to change, or tell a cut finger to heal, or instruct a child to grow. Nature and the ‘powers that be’ take care of that.
In my coaching sessions I use the scenario of going on a journey. I often say to clients “If you leave here and walk home could you walk in an absolutely straight line?”
Everyone always says no. They would have to walk around people, through doors, cross roads etc.
So why do most people expect to travel throughout life in a straight line with no challenges, barriers or change?
Challenges are as inevitable as change as they provide opportunities for us to grow, by finding ways to overcome them. You would’nt give up on going home because there was a bus stop in your way. No you wouldn’t. You would find a way around it.
When faced with challenges in life you are required to find a way around or over them. Rather than allowing them to stop you from growing or fulfilling your dreams.
Fighting change or being stunted by challenges stops your natural progession. But because change is inevitable you can either go with the flow and learn from it or be dragged kicking and screaming.
If you want to have an idea of your inner world, take a look at your outer world for clues. The universe is symbolic in nature, and is merely a reflection of that which we project.
Your relationship, partner, job, financial situation, possessions, health and fitness, car, all hold clues to the condition of your inner world. The condition of the things in your life reflect the condition of your inner world.
Think about something in your life that could improve and get better. For example, your car, bedroom, kitchen, partner, job, your body etc.
Write down what you think is ‘wrong’ with the thing, person or situation that you have chosen. Now think about what each of these things represents within you.
Then write down what you think could be better or improved, with what you have chosen and then relate this back to your self.
For example
Take a car..
Slow punctured tyre -feeling deflated or that things are getting worse slowly but surely.
No Tax or MOT – Not playing by the rules, need to check yourself and get sorted.
Messy in side – need to sort out your internal mess and take care or your inner world.
Dirty outside – gone past caring what others think – yet need to take care of your self inside and out.
Electrical faults - your still functioning, yet there are some small glitches.
Sounds a bit mad, but it is a really good way to give yourself a quick and truthful diagnosis.
The only way for these things to get better is by fixing you first. You can do this with absolutely anything and anyone in your life.
This is one of my favourite quotes from one of my favourite authors - Neale Donald Walsch
“Your purpose is not only to know and experience Who You Really Are, but to create Who You Next Will Be.
It is your function to re-create yourself anew in every single Moment of Now, in the next grandest version of the greatest vision you ever held about Who You Are. This is the process you have called evolution.
Yet you need not be affected by this process in any negative way. You can be in this world but not of it.”

The Attraction Factor; the ability to attract and appreciate the life you truly deserve
My experience of attracting partners has always been on point. In the past when I was insecure I attracted a partner who was insecure. When I found it hard to trust men, I found a partner that I couldn’t trust. When I found it hard to love myself first, I found a partner who didn’t love himself or anyone else. Get the picture?
The first premise of Getting the Attraction Factor is understanding and experiencing that you can only attract to yourself that which you are being at any given moment. So what ever we perceive in the world is an exact mirror for our inner world. The outside world is a symbolic reflection of your inside world.
Lets take it up a notch – on a spiritual level
A soul mate is like a mirror, they reflect back to you the good, the bad and the ugly that resides with you. To halves that face each other in order to heal and become whole. Soul mates exist to assist us with healing and becoming whole through the experiences faced in the relationship. Unfortunately most people don’t learn -placing blame with the other person, walking from partner to partner without ever healing themselves first.
A Twin Soul is the feminine or masculine side of your self that is already whole. Together you can create a oneness, an energy of unity - facing the world in the same direction, with the same passion and vision.
Every time I have a relationship things seem to get better and better - that’s because I’m getting better and better. I realise that by committing to my personal growth I am attracting partners that mirror my progress and who I am being.
I now know when to let go and forgive -I use to hold on to partners hoping that things would change. I now see the message in the madness. I give thanks for the soul mates that have helped me grow no matter how painful.
I use to focus on what I wanted in a partner – I now focus on me and who I need to be to attract the type of partner that I would like (my Twin Soul). So I continue my journey assured that I will one day meet my divine partner divinely:-)
