One Step At A Time
Posted By Mary on October 13, 2009
If you’ve never worked out at a gym before, would you go straight to working out like a professional trainer? I bet you wouldn’t! You’d be stiff, sore and thoroughly disheartened the next day. You’d take it one step at a time. Building up gradually as your body became accustomed to the work out. Right!
Well it’s exactly the same with your mind. It requires you to build up step by step, especially if you haven’t really given it a good solid work out and been doing a lot of Affirmations. It’s no different from your body. It needs to be built up, one step at a time.
The trouble is, if you start of thinking you would like to have a million dollars drop into your lap and you’re flat broke at present, the chances are that, despite making Affirmations, your mind will be saying “no way”. This is especially true of your subconscious mind. It has been programmed, maybe for years, to think that money is scarce, that only the ‘lucky people’ are millionaires. So, if you think about it it’s hardly likely to make a sudden quantum leap forward and say ‘hey yes, I too can produce a million just like that”. It’s not impossible of course, nothing is impossible but the chances of failure are high.
Much better then to start off smaller, putting out that you require a realistic amount of money. An amount you reasonably expect you can achieve within a certain period of time. Once you have achieved the smaller amount, your confidence and most importantly, your subconscious mind, will be starting to attune to the vibration of receiving money. Once this happens you can take it to the next level and ask for a larger amount. One you NOW reasonably expect to achieve, as opposed to thinking it’s not possible to attain more money at all.
As you receive each amount, go for a slightly higher amount the next time. Each time you do this you are reinforcing your subconscious mind with the fact that money is easy to obtain. As you progress, you will find that the old way of thinking, that money is scarce, will disappear and you will automatically think that you can obtain any amount of money you require, at shorter and shorter intervals too.
But at first, as I have said, take it one small step at a time. It may appear frustrating but it really is the best way to go about re-programming your subconscious mind. Which, if it has been years thinking along the poverty mentality lines, will need to be taken gently at first. Just like working out, you need to gradually build up to the higher levels.
So, start right now, ask for that small realistic amount and once you have received that, take it one more step. Taking it one step at a time will avoid disappointment, which causes a lot of people to say that Affirmations just don’t work. They do but you do have to remember that it has taken possibly years to get to the point you are now, so it’s not going to change over night. You need to spend time each day re-programming your very faithful servant the subconscious mind along the lines of wealth and abundance. Once re-programmed it will, as the good servant it is, constantly bring wealth and abundance into your life.
It’s well worth the effort, just one small step at a time to achieve abundance in every area of your life.
