Mind Positive, Money Positive

Every morning when you wake up you have to work on your mindset.

Some of you may not believe in the law of attraction but I believe it to be true.  Your body is the vehicle, however, your mind is the driver in it all.  What you say to others and what you think of yourself will become your reality.  Your belief system creates this ecosystem around you that determines where you are going to be in your life.

If you are in debt right now and don’t believe you can get out of debt, you won’t get out of debt. Are you in a dead end job and don’t believe you can get out of it? Then most likely you’ll find yourself there until retirement, miserable at the end of each day. Stuck in a rut with your finances and don’t believe you can make your financial situation better? Most likely, you’ll stay in debt while adding more debt over time.

Mind positive is the law of attraction.

Your mind is looking for opportunities to improve. You are looking for ways to solve the problem.  You are talking to the people around you trying to figure out a way to get something done.  Your mind is looking for problems, not to complain, but in a way so that you can improve your life.

Your mind is an Asset that you haven’t fully utilized yet.  But in order to get it up to speed, you have to feed it.  You have to feed it a lot.  Think about it like this, we have developed an educational system that literally feeds the mind almost exclusively full of information.  The biggest thing you take out of this is your ability to problem solve.  The one thing that I think it doesn’t do, it doesn’t get you really thinking about your future. There is no point of having a positive attitude without having some future goal to work towards.

First, you have to figure out what you are trying to solve.

Second, you have to believe you or someone near you can solve it.

Third, you have to implement a plan to get to the solution.

Fourth, you need to stay consistent with your plan, unless you see you need to make an adjustment

That is it.

You have to believe in yourself and actively try to solve the problem. I can’t stress this point enough.  When you operate in this manner your mind will actively be working on a problem even when you are not directly thinking about it.  Because your mind doesn’t stop.  I love it when I go to bed at night and wake up with a solution in the morning.  Sometimes, it is just that easy.

But let’s keep it real, most of the time it isn’t that easy.

Ultimately where you want to be in life, is creating solutions that solve problems.  Imagine, if you will, that you are happy with your

• Spouse
• Children
• Job
• Hobbies

Then imagine that when you wake up in the morning, you really don’t have a complaint in the world.  You make enough money to support the kind of lifestyle that you want and you have created pockets of time to spend with your friends and family.  Your career provides you with the freedoms that you want and you get to be around people you actually like doing things you enjoy.

How to get started

Find a problem area in your life that you wish to improve or some aspect of your life that you want to take the next level.  This would be anything that can make your life even better than it is now.  Maybe you want to free up some time or feel even healthier than you do right now.  Perhaps you want to learn a more productive method at work that will cause you to be more efficient in what you do.

What’s next?

Have you always wanted to run a half marathon but haven’t found the way to achieve the goal?  All you have to do is start running.

Once you’ve started running, you can start reading articles and watching YouTube videos about running.  Next thing you know, you are talking to your friends about running and you discover that one of your friends is really into running too.

Spending time with this friend discussing their tactics to running and prepping for a half marathon you get an inside scoop on what else you can do to complete your goal. You could join a running group and start talking to the members about ways of improving your speed or bring up some of the issues that you are having and you get good advice on how to solve your problems.

Finding solutions

As you start to go through this journey, you begin to start implementing the things that are working for you so that you can achieve your ultimate goal.  When you start feeding your mind with information, it starts to automatically attract solutions.

I know first-hand that when I started feeding my mind with information about money, I was able to start coming up with solutions. I talk more about this in my blog What the Heck is Motivational Finance.

This is why I recommend you wake up early in the morning.

At least an hour before you need to start getting ready for your day.  Begin feeding your mind with thinking about the future. Start imagining what your life looks like in 5 years, 10 years, and even 25 years.

What does your life look like?

What do you want to be doing, where do you want to be, and how are you going to get there?  Spend time doing things that feed into creating the person you want to be like walking, meditating, and/or reading.  You’ll begin daydreaming about the answer to these questions while you fill your body up with the gas it needs to get you where you want to go.

Start talking to people about your plans and you’ll slowly start to implement tactics to solve the obstacles that are in the way of accomplishing your goals.

So, let me ask you a question.

What are you doing to set your mind to positive?  (Check out the article What is Positive Mindset if you aren’t sure what I’m talking about.) You should be asking yourself that question every single day.

• Are you thinking about your financial goals?
• What are your health goals?
• Where do you want to be when it comes to your family?

What are you doing to motivate yourself to actively attract the solutions to the problem of accomplishing your goals?
