The turn around.

Once you identify your deep-seated relationship with money, what your negative programming looks like, you can do a positive affirmation on it.

Even though I did not know this consciously — I was unaware I held this negative belief — my machine was running on the sub-conscious thought that, “There’s probably something wrong with anyone who has a lot of money.”

To reverse this negative belief, I can say to myself a few times a day, “There is nothing wrong with someone just because they have a ton of money.”

A turn around.

Now aware, I can do something to change it. I can change it by recognizing it as a false belief and manifest a different reality.

I can tell myself, ‘Oprah has a ton of money, I don’t think there is anything bad about Oprah.’ I don’t know Oprah personally, but I’m fairly sure Oprah is a good person. She does a lot of good with her wealth. I know this.

The same goes for Jeff Bezos’s ex-wife, MacKenzie Scott. She received billions in her divorce settlement, making her one of the world’s wealthiest women.

Recently, she gave much of her wealth away to causes I believe in to aid marginalized people in our society who have been systematically beaten down and economically and politically thwarted through systematic racism and sexism.

The previous belief my mind was running on isn’t true, there is nothing wrong with someone just because they have a ton of money. Just because someone has gobs of money, doesn’t mean they’re a bad person.

Tell the reverse to yourself daily, put it up on the wall, read it. Persistence in changing any negative belief takes care of the negative belief. Your mind has to be disciplined, but it’s possible to change it.

The more you give authority and own what is healthy about you (for me answers to the statements 1–9, excluding #4), the more your trauma side is reduced.

Even though I was programmed to believe anyone with a lot of money must have something wrong with them, I’m reversing that negative belief. It is just a false belief I picked up somewhere (no big deal), and I’m going to manifest from my true self all the comfort and money I desire, letting go of this one negative belief will help me do so.

When we know better, we do better. Know thyself. Knowledge is power.

Keep working at it to reprogram the machine. It isn’t hard. It takes persistence, not a struggle.

The more you own and give authority to what is healthy about yourself, the healthy choices you make, the more your trauma side is reduced.

There is nothing you can do that is better for you than to give authority to your healthy self and stay out of your traumatized self.

On the financial side, that means to be in alignment with your financial success.

Identify those things where if you held that belief (like number 4 for me), it clearly could not serve you.

It isn’t serving me, it hasn’t served me, and if I continue to believe it, it won’t serve me.

It won’t serve you to carry the belief that people are better than or worse than you because they have money. Get rid of that belief. It doesn’t serve you to have the belief that money is scarce and is a struggle to obtain. “The universe is abundant” is a more productive belief to carry because it’s true.

The universe is abundant.

The pendulum exercise helps you identify your best way to manifest the money that aligns with your true self. To feel comfortable and safe and to be doing what you want to do in life.

There is no separation between having the life you want, having the money you want, and being who you truly are.

You can have it all.
