I like to think of money as energy rather than any specific amount. My focus is really on vibration. I try to focus on raising my vibration which, for me, makes it easier to manifest those things I want in my life.
The rest is taken care of automatically... so I go about my business with the expectation that everything is cool. I think one of the things most people do is put too much energy into thinking about they're negative thinking and it turns into a vicious cycle.
Negative thinking can also be a good thing. It is your inner self, shaking you, screaming at you, rattling your cage, letting you know you are not on the path to obtaining everything you desire in life. Negative thoughts are essential in helping you keep your focus on what it is you desire.
In a weird kind of way... if you embrace that negative little voice as a positive tool... it tends to lose it's power and free you up.
For me, it's been easier to just focus on
raising my vibration... since thats the real magnet to attracting the circumstances in your life.
