This
article contains a letter from a reader who was
feeling 'hopeless' today. Whether you identify with
her feelings or just feel a little lost, you'll
find that my response contains a very useful tool
for getting clarity, focus and raising your
vibration--the T-tool! Enjoy~Rebecca
Letter: "I
don't know why I'm writing this - it's so unlike me
to actually feel 'hopeless.' I am a single mom
raising two teenaged boys. After my youngest was
assaulted on the way to school last year, I quit a
decent job in television to start my own
marketing/p.r. business out of my home. I had two
clients that, at the time, which enabled me to make
more than I had working for the tv station. And
then in March, one of the clients and I parted
ways. We had very different expectations.
Ultimately, we each had contrasting views over what
my role would be. That cut my income in
half.
I
have attracted one new client - but at a third of
what my former client paid. And now, I'm in debt
(deeply). And now, I'm in debt (deeply), my account
is overdrawn because my other significant client
"got behind" and didn't put in my automatic payment
into my account until yesterday - and it takes
24-72 hours for it to show up (they had told me it
was going to be put in last Thursday)! My ex's
child support is late and I don't even have enough
money to pay for groceries until the money shows
up. I'm terrified that checks will bounce and I'll
be left with nothing.
I
can't sleep. My stomach is in knots. I almost feel
as if my kids would be better off with their dad.
He's very well off and could afford to give them
everything I can't.
I
don't know how to get out of this poverty
mentality. I don't know why I have such feelings of
lack when it comes to my finances. Tomorrow I have
a meeting with a potential client and I can't even
focus on putting together a presentation for him.
It's as if I already know that he won't want to
work with me, let alone PAY me. I get so up for
things, I have such great expectations and then
everything falls flat.
In
ALL other areas of my life, I'm doing well. My kids
are terrific - good hearts, straight-A students,
excellent athletes. I don't have weight issues.
I don't have problems with my relationships with
the opposite sex. It's just that MONEY seems to be
slipping out of my grasp.
Quite
honestly, I do believe that money buys a fair
amount of happiness. At least for me, knowing what
I've gone through these past years, it would buy
some peace of mind. And that's what I want. Freedom
and peace of mind. To go where I want. To do what I
want. To FEEL how I want to feel.
Can
you help me get out of this negative spiral?"

Rebecca's
reply:
"Dear
Reader,
Thanks
so much for writing. And I hope you are feeling
better. YEP. I've been there a few times. I can
remember days when all I could do was walk around
the house saying, 'I just want to feel good' over
and over. Eventually, I did start to feel better.
Now, feeling good is my dominant
feeling.
Actually,
you are an excellent 'attractor'--look at what you
are telling your self about money and then notice
how you are attracting more of the
same.
If
I were coaching you, I would ask you to take a
piece of paper, and draw a big letter T on it. Then
label the left column I dont want
and the right hand column, I do
want.
First
make a list of everything you dont want. Just
use the letter you sent to me and write down stuff
like:
- I
dont want clients paying me late.
- I
dont want cheap clients who cant
afford to pay what Im worth.
- I
don't want child support payments to be
late.
Get
all the negatives OUT of yourself and onto
paper.
Then
go through each item, and ask your self, If I
dont want this, what do I want? and
write down what you DO want in the right hand
column.
When
youve written a Do Want for each
item on the left, FOLD THE PAPER down the middle so
you are looking at the 'Do Want' list. Keep that
list in front of you at all times. Start to
imagine what it would feel like having clients who
JOYFULLY pay for your services. How wonderful
it is when the Child Support checks arrive a day
early! Work at keeping your FOCUS on
what you DO WANT. If you start to think or
talk about something on the Dont
Want side, just say, Ive dealt
with that, AND what I DO want
is
The
T-tool is the BEST Law of Attraction Tool for
getting clarity! And once you have clarity, what
you want IS on its way to you.
