This might sound strange, but one thing that helped me tremendously was to seriously think about what I'll do after I'm dead -- no more possessions to speak of. That helped me see just how temporary money is and how pointless it is to root myself to it.

Ironically, the less attached I became to money, the more I seemed to attract.

Instead of focusing on making money for myself, I starting thinking of money as a strategic resource I can use to expand my purpose to help people grow. To me that's far more motivating than buying a bunch of stuff I don't need. It's more important that money flows through me than at me.
