The truth!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In my coaching work<\/a>, one of the questions I get asked most often is: \u201cWhat\u2019s an easy way to attract more money?\u201d<\/p>\n

The answer is simple, but not easy.\u00a0 Actually, it\u2019s easy, too, but often times our mental blocks make it difficult.\u00a0 To give you a little background, I have manifested money in a few different ways: Sometimes it came as gifts, or just arrived out of nowhere; but more often than not, it came in the form of opportunities for me to earn<\/em> it.\u00a0 I have been paid to do almost everything you can imagine: Play videogames, travel the world with my best friend, post on Facebook, and gamble professionally with other people\u2019s money.<\/p>\n

The point is, be as open as possible to the Universe sending you what you want in ways you may not have expected. A common mistake people make with the Law of Attraction<\/a> is getting overly attached to getting what they want in a certain way; they get so obsessed with winning a million dollars in the lottery, that they ignore a million dollar business opportunity that comes their way.<\/p>\n

So, here are some simple steps you can take to attract more money.\u00a0 We\u2019ve already covered being open to it arriving in an unexpected way.\u00a0 Not only should you be open to it, it should be part of your intention.\u00a0 Having what you intend to happen come in a truly unexpected way is one of the best tests you\u2019ve got to know what you\u2019ve really attracted, versus something that is \u2018just\u2019 a coincidence.<\/p>\n

Start with something small; if you don\u2019t have a lot of experience manifesting what you want, it is a mistake to start trying to attract a million dollars. The reason why this is, is the Law of Attraction is powered by faith and belief, and what you truly<\/em> expect to happen is what will happen.\u00a0 You\u2019ve had a lifetime to build up certain thoughts, habits, and beliefs, and that has caused you to manifest the exact life that you have right now.\u00a0 Quite frankly, if you had million dollar thoughts, habits, and beliefs, you\u2019d already have a million dollars!\u00a0 Start with a much smaller amount, something that seems reasonable to you; maybe $5, $50, or $5,000; whatever amount seems like no big deal to attract.<\/p>\n

Once you have the dollar amount in mind, start to imagine what you\u2019d do with that money, because here is a secret: You don\u2019t actually want money; you want what money can buy<\/em>.\u00a0 Maybe it\u2019s an item, like a new computer; or an experience, like a vacation.\u00a0 Maybe it\u2019s a new outfit or even a nice dinner out with friends.\u00a0 You can pick whatever you want, or more than one thing; it doesn\u2019t matter what you choose to visualize, as long as it makes you feel good!<\/p>\n

You know you are on the right track if you get excited when you think about it.\u00a0 It should make you feel excited, and maybe a tiny bit scared.\u00a0 But, if you find yourself wondering about how it\u2019s possible to manifest, that\u2019s a good sign you\u2019ve picked something too big, for now.<\/p>\n

Once you have it in mind, think about these things, and how it\u2019s going to feel once it shows up.\u00a0 Think about it as often as possible, without worrying about how it is going to happen<\/em>.\u00a0 If you find yourself wondering what\u2019s taking so long, or stressing about it, put it out of your mind.\u00a0 This might mean thinking about it once a day, or 100 times; it just depends on you.<\/p>\n

One important point is to make sure you take 3-5 minutes to think about it in the morning when you wake up, and at night before bed.\u00a0 Your subconscious mind is most open to receive instructions from you right when you wake up, and right before you go to sleep, so make sure you make the most of this time.\u00a0 You should also pay attention to ideas that come to you as soon as you wake up, since this is when your subconscious tends to send you messages.<\/p>\n

The only other thing you have to do, is to be truly grateful for what you already have, since if you aren\u2019t grateful for what you have, you won\u2019t be grateful with more.\u00a0 There was a time that you were wishing you could get the job you have now, and make the money you have now, if you aren\u2019t careful you will never be truly satisfied.\u00a0 Taking time to thank God\/The Universe<\/a> every single day for everything you have just opens the door wider for more to arrive.<\/p>\n

And, that\u2019s it!\u00a0 Pick an amount, decide what life will look like once it arrives, think about it as often as possible without stressing over it, and thank God\/The Universe for the blessings you\u2019ve already got, and for the blessings that are on their way.\u00a0 Once the money arrives, repeat the process with larger and larger amounts until you are living the life of your dreams.<\/p>\n
