It also can't buy good health. The stress and quest for money can certainly wreck our health, it just can't buy it....at least not yet. If someone could sell health, they would.

You are only as good as your routines. Build routines full of good habits. Meditation, journaling, reading, nature walks. Don't sit on the coach eating crisps and binge watching netflix. Go live a little!

Consider something you have already completed. Perhaps you finished a meal, sent an important email, completed a journey or resolved a task that had been occupying your attention. Once it was done, the experience became part of your life. You no longer needed to imagine it as a distant possibility. Notice the difference between the anticipation of completing something and the experience of knowing it has been completed. This distinction can help you approach visualisation differently. When you imagine your desired outcome, you do not need to make it more dramatic, exciting or emotionally intense. You can practise experiencing it as ordinary and familiar. If your goal is to become a consistent writer, imagine yourself writing as a normal part of your day. If your goal is to become physically stronger, imagine yourself engaging in the activities that support that goal. If your goal is to develop a meaningful creative practice, imagine yourself showing up and doing the work. You are practising a relationship with the outcome in which it is no longer only something to long for. It becomes a direction you can begin embodying.

Purge the habits that don't support your dream, and replace them with habits that are good for your mind, heart, & soul.

Stop trying to solve your way into the life you want. Start creating it. One of the easiest traps to fall into is believing that everything in your current life must be fixed before you can begin moving towards the reality you actually want. You tell yourself you need more money before you can feel free. More confidence before you can take action. More experience before you can put yourself out there. More certainty before you can make a decision. And so you spend your energy trying to eliminate everything that appears to stand between you and the life you want. But there's a fundamental difference between trying to make a problem disappear and deliberately creating something you love. When your entire focus is on what's wrong, your choices tend to revolve around what's wrong. You keep reacting to your circumstances, looking for evidence, and trying to work out how to make everything safe and predictable before you move forward. Creation begins somewhere different. First, decide what you actually want. Not merely the object, job, relationship, or financial milestone you think will get you there, but the experience and reality you genuinely want to live. Then take a moment to imagine that reality as already yours. How would you experience an ordinary day? What would become natural to you? What would you spend your time doing? Let yourself mentally occupy that reality rather than observing it from a distance as something you don't have yet. After that, acknowledge your present circumstances without turning them into a verdict on your future. You don't have to deny where you are. You simply don't have to make where you are the only reference point from which you decide what is possible. Now comes the interesting part. Return to the reality you've chosen and ask: What's the next obvious step that would move my present circumstances towards it? Don't force yourself to manufacture an entire plan. Give yourself room to notice what emerges. It might be a practical idea, a conversation you need to have, something you need to learn, a piece of work you need to publish, or a decision you've been avoiding. Sometimes the insight may arrive as an image or metaphor that you need to interpret before its meaning becomes clear.
