@Pauline Walker I completely understand this, because this is the part no one really explains properly. When I ask myself, “what would feel normal if money wasn’t a problem?”, I expect this calm, confident answer… but instead, the voice of lack gets louder. And that used to make me think I was doing something wrong. But I’m starting to see it differently now. That voice isn’t there because I’m failing. It’s there because I’m touching the exact place that needs to change. The moment I step into a new state, the old one reacts. Of course it does… it’s been running the show for so long. And this is where I remind myself of what Neville Goddard said— you’re not trying to fight the old state, you’re just no longer agreeing with it. So when that voice comes in saying: “this isn’t true” “you don’t have money” “be realistic” I don’t try to silence it anymore. I notice it… and I choose again. Not in a forceful way. Not trying to convince myself. Just a quiet shift back into: “yes, but if money wasn’t a problem… this is how it would feel.” And I keep it small, because that’s where it becomes manageable. I don’t jump to “I’m wealthy”. That feels too far sometimes. I go to something like: “I wouldn’t be worrying about this” “I’d feel a bit more relaxed right now” “I wouldn’t be overthinking this purchase” That feels softer. More believable. More normal. And the more I do that, the more I realise… the goal isn’t to have zero thoughts of lack. The goal is to stop letting those thoughts decide who I am. Because right now, both voices are there. Lack is shouting… but there’s also a quieter voice that’s learning a new way. And every time I choose that quieter voice, even for a few seconds, I’m shifting. Not all at once. But gently, consistently… into a version of me where money isn’t such a big deal anymore. And maybe that’s the real work here. Not becoming someone who never hears the voice of lack… but becoming someone who no longer believes it.

@Karon Demarco I know it feels powerful and it's a lot to process, but it's incredibly practical 🤗

@Karon Demarco I’m going to be very honest with you, because this is where your power is. It’s not really about your daughter being in the shower or your husband stepping into the garage. It’s about the meaning you are giving those moments. In both situations, you weren’t just helping… you were unconsciously expecting consideration, appreciation, or some form of control over how things should unfold. And when reality didn’t match that inner expectation, something in you reacted. Not because they did something wrong. But because a part of you felt like: “My time isn’t respected.” “I’m being left here.” “I’m the one putting in effort and it’s not being met.” And that feeling… that’s the real thing to look at. Because this is the pattern: You give → but underneath there’s a quiet expectation → when it’s not met, it turns into frustration. And I say this with love… that’s not pure giving, that’s giving with a condition attached, even if it’s unconscious. Now here’s the shift. You’re not actually upset about the situation. You’re reacting to what you made it mean about you. The moment you thought: “I have to stand here waiting” “My time doesn’t matter” “I’ve been left like this” You moved into a state where you felt undervalued. And from that state, anger is a very natural response. So what are you not seeing? You’re not seeing how quickly your mind assigns meaning and turns neutral moments into personal ones. Your daughter wasn’t disrespecting you. Your husband wasn’t dismissing you. But your awareness went there automatically. And this is actually powerful, because it shows you exactly what belief is sitting underneath: “I’m not being considered the way I should be.” Now instead of trying to change them, this is your invitation to shift yourself. Next time something like this happens, pause and ask: “What am I making this mean about me right now?” And gently choose something else. “I chose to help, I can also choose to step away.” “My time matters because I say it does, not because others prove it.” “There’s no urgency here, I’m in control of how I respond.”
