I\u2019m a freelancer. No salary or benefits. According to people who see how I live, no security. But, I feel very secure because my spiritual mindset is strong. The Law of Attractions supports my thoughts and brings me whatever I need, because I expect it to come!<\/span>

I hear people concerned about money<\/span>:<\/p>\n

* \u201cI\u2019ll get a new car IF I can come up with the money.\u201d
* \u201cIF I don\u2019t get a raise, I\u2019ll have to move.\u201d
* \u201cDaylle, what will you do IF you don\u2019t get enough work this month?\u201d<\/p>\n

The common denominator in the above is IF. Because I expect to always have enough for what I need, I wonder where my money will come from, not IF I\u2019ll get it. This makes a profound difference in what I attract. Fear and tentative expectations show a lack of faith.<\/span> And a lack of faith doesn\u2019t support you in getting what you want! <\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been talking about changing habits. Break the habit of thinking in terms of \u201cIF I have the money.\u201d Think with expectation about where it can come from.<\/span> I\u2019ve had moments where my checking account was on empty. Rent was due in 2 weeks and I had no income. Was I worried? Nope! Did I call around to borrow money? Nope again. I continued to put it out that I expected a source of income. And I always get enough for what I need. ALWAYS!<\/p>\n

Since I also help others write their books, a guy offered me a big chunk of money to help him write his a while back. What good luck you might be thinking. It would have been had I accepted the guy\u2019s offer. But I didn\u2019t. I wasn\u2019t interested in his topic and he seemed a bit weird. Since I only do projects I\u2019m interested in, I turned him down, even though I wanted the money. Okay, I needed the money! But instead of agreeing to write the book for lots of money, I said out loud, \u201cClose one door and another two open.\u201d A few days later I got a great project and my checking account got healthier. And then something else materialized.<\/p>\n

Worry doesn\u2019t attract money and it can keep it from coming to you the way you\u2019d like it!<\/span><\/p>\n

A friend who knows me well teases that she doesn\u2019t wonder IF I\u2019ll get my rent. Instead, she loves to see where it will come from. She\u2019s seen over and over that somehow, some way, from somewhere, I always get the money I need at the right time. The next time you express concern about IF you\u2019ll have enough money or IF you can increase what you have by a lot, get rid of the IF and replace it with faith<\/span>. Write down what you want and why you deserve to get it. <\/p>\n

We get back what we put out. So get into better habits of expecting money to flow to you with ease if you want to increase your abundance. <\/span><\/p>\n

Let Me Count the Ways, a She's appeared on hundreds of TV and radio shows, including Oprah, Howard Stern, and Good Morning America and has been quoted in dozens of publications, including the New York Times, Chicago Sun-Times, Cosmopolitan, Redbook, Marie Claire, and Men\u00b9s Health. After being a consummate People Pleaser who felt unworthy of getting her own needs met for many years, Daylle found a path of self-love that enabled her to build her self-esteem and reinvent herself into a dual career. She learned to get taken seriously without being overtly assertive when she became one of the first women to start an independent record label (on a dare!) and learned to play ball nicely and successfully in an industry dominated by men. To help independent musicians empower themselves, Daylle writes music business books for Billboard\/Random House, including the very popular Start & Run Your Own Record Labe and I Don't Need a Record Deal! Daylle's books have been translated into over 10 languages and are popular around the world. She speaks for colleges, organizations and corporations. Through her company, Project Self-Empowerment, Daylle creates programs and materials to help people empower themselves. One goal is to raise the money to self-publish her book, How Do I Love Me? Let Me Count the Ways and give it away for free in colleges and through organizations, to give thanks for all her blessings. Daylle uses her writing and speaking to help others find the kind of contentment and empowerment that she has.","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/author\/dschwartz"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/290","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/83"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=290"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/290\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=290"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=290"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=290"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
