choosing the right words for money

[starsofnorth]

Which vocabulary do you use--abundance, wealth, prosperity or just plain ol' money? Or maybe just the feeling of those words?

I'm having a hard time picking one to focus on. I think abundance and I think about crops or just a lot of stuff. I think wealth, I think a CEO and his business... or a medieval king. Prosperity... live long and prosper
My bank account is negative... so yes I kept thinking of lack. I want to shift my focus the other way. This vocab & my definitions of these words are getting in the way.

I tried to relate it to my health, which I have no problems. I don't know, I really don't think of lack or "abundance" of health... or even with friends/relationships. I just kinda feel it without thinking or shifting focus.

But during the day I would get worried and worked up because I find my way back to lack.

I started a visualization exercise recently I learned two years ago, before I started reading about LoA and other books related this. I would do it for a few minutes while in bed at night. I imagine a lot of green bills coming to me but no numerical value. It worked two years ago, I was able to actually save more money but then I stopped visualization for whatever reason.

I learned about gratitude a few days back, I'm doing that, too.

Any way to swing full time focus on the thing I want?
thanks!!

I find it easiest to intend for what I want, instead of the money to get what I want.

For example, if I want to move to a new location, I'd intend for an opportunity to move to that location, instead of the money I'd need to move there. Works much better for me! You always get what you want, sooner or later.

How about appreciation?

When I had negative beliefs about money that one really helped me (also helped me to not spend so much, without feeling deprived).

Whenever I go and buy stuff, I imagine my money is a bit of thank you to the provider (all the way up the chain).

getting money is because people value me, and appreciate me. It is absolutely wonderful and amazing feeling to be appreciated so much!!

what about paying bills or carfare?

I am grateful for having electricity in my house so I can use the internet...

(I don't know what carfare is?).

I am grateful for taxes because I know that the government uses the money to build roads and schools and helps poor people. (Yes, i know that the government probably does a lot of other things with the money as well. I choose to focus on the good).

If I am not grateful for paying money for something, I'll think twice about buying it or paying for it.
