Where they are now: Why does this keep happening? I thought I had enough money to pay my utility bill. Why isn’t Law of Attraction working for me? (not alone)
Through the process of Vicki’s move out of her ex-partners home, she’s discovered her old money story popping up. Her old money story was Survival.
Survival is the most stressful money story, it’s categorized by stress. Just “surviving” is what someone with Survival’s brain is used to (i.e. feels good). Your brain knows you can live in the panic of “Oh my God, how am I gonna make it?” The only way to stay in that “Oh my god” place, is to always not have enough money. It becomes a pattern of being able to survive in that place. It’s where the adrenaline rushes come from, even when they don’t feel good.
Vicki tells us some things she used to do in her old Survival money story, before joining Enchanted Life U. How she would “Hot-Potato” money. She’d receive money and even before it hit her bank account, she’d go out and spend it immediately. Then she’d realize she didn’t have enough money to pay her bills and she’d have a panic attack. There was lot’s of panic and stress, then the problem was resolved, then time would go on and it’s almost as if nothing happened. Because she never actually learned anything, it just keeps happening and resolving itself.
Someone with Survival as their money story is most effective at writing a new money story once they create a budget and learn to stick to it. Vicki invested a lot of learning and energy in her budget and understanding her money. By having that clarity around her money and her budget, she was aware much faster when she started slipping in to Survival and spending more than she wanted to save.
Having a budget with Survival is essential in keeping her honest and aware of her old money story. It’s bumpers on the gutter to keep her from falling into the gutter of Survival again. By learning to use a budget as a tool, she gained clarity on what money was coming in and what money was coming out. This made it possible for her to be aware of when she did have more than enough money, and what she wanted to do with it. She would choose consciously, rather than “hot-potato” the money. She was able to set aside the extra money coming in and get comfortable seeing those bigger numbers in her checking and savings accounts.
Now, Vicki has learned how to Love money, how to get comfortable with more than enough of it, and how to keep herself on track toward even more money.
