5 Thoughts That Are Keeping You Broke: Get Unblocked To Manifest Money

by: Jenn

Yes abundance really is just a state of mind!

But the bad news is: so is scarcity.

So the real question is: which one are you living in right now?

Scarcity thinking is unfortunately the default for so many of us! We tend to concentrate more on what we don’t have rather than shifting to what we do. And that has a huge impact on our bottom line–maybe even to the point of keeping you broke!

How does that work, you might be wondering? Well if your brain can only detect lack in the world around you that’s the only thing you’ll be aware of. You’ll develop literal blinders to abundance and in turn miss out on some very crucial opportunities that might actually be financially beneficial to you.

One crucial area that will reveal your abundance or scarcity mentality is in the language we use, whether that’s to describe ourselves or the world around us.



Make no mistake: you’re telling the world who you are with every single word you speak! Every word is vote for your own reality.


Every thought is a tiny micro-decision, one you may not even notice that you’re making at the time. But add up all those tiny micro-decisions over an hour, a day, a week and you’ll see how they come together to have a huge impact on your life!

Most of the time, you’re probably going so fast that you don’t even notice but make no mistake: your language is always a choice. It’s conscious. And it can be very telling about what you really think is possible for yourself and and your bank account.

The way you think about the world controls what shows up for you. How can it be any other way? If you’re not used to massive abundance, you’re going to have to start working your abundance meter up in order to successfully call it in.

If right now you’re wondering if your thoughts are keeping you broke then you’re in the right place! Keep reading to find out what five of the most common scarcity thoughts are and learn how to get around them.


5 Thoughts That Are Keeping You Broke: Get Unblocked To Manifest Money


Thought That’s Keeping You Broke #1:

“I can’t afford it”


Make no mistake: any word that comes after the word “I” holds a whole whack of power! You are creating your identity with these words; you are committing to what you’re putting out there. So when you say “I can’t afford it” you’re essentially aligning yourself to the very thing that you don’t want to be true!

So how can you communicate what you need to without committing to that undesirable outcome? There’s always another way to phrase things that allows you to get your point across without surrendering your own power. How about “I’m choosing to spend my money on something else”–which is probably accurate anyway? When you have limited funds, you do have to prioritize where you’re spending your money. It’s not that you don’t have any at all; you do but you need to watch where it goes and that’s fine. Remembering that power is a wonderful way to connect with your potential abundance instead of waving it away permanently.


Thought That’s Keeping You Broke #2:

“I’m always broke”


Think of it this way: your words are a vote that goes directly to the Universe itself! So you probably know what I’m going to say here! Do you want to always be broke? I’m guessing probably not. ????

Again, the words that directly follow an “I” statement have incredible power. When you’re stating, “I’m always broke” it’s just as if you’re putting in an order for broke-ness with the Universe itself! So the question is: does that seem like something you actually want for yourself? And if not, how could you choose some different words to express your point?

Hint: instead of concentrating on how you don’t have money now, why don’t you shift the focus to when you do? For example, “I can’t wait to buy that for myself someday”. Doesn’t that feel lighter in your body? Doesn’t placing a cosmic order for your future feel exciting? Those words of yours hold creation power! So always focus on what you really want to create!


Thought That’s Keeping You Broke #3:

“Rich people are greedy”


Warning: at first this thought might seem innocuous or even accurate! But the real problem here is the message that you’re sending yourself. Your beliefs about the world have an impact on what you can achieve for yourself.

You might not think that your thoughts about other people matter to your situation! But that’s totally untrue. This thought in particular becomes a problem when you’re trying to manifest money to you. That’s because while one part of you is trying (so hard!) to attract the money in the other part of your brain is freaking the ‘eff out! It doesn’t want to be either greedy or evil–so it’s going to take care of the problem by warding away the riches…forever.

Alignment is the true key to manifestation and that really means getting all your thoughts and beliefs on board with what you really want! (aka to attract more money!) So again, the question becomes: does this belief really serve you and your goals in life? If the answer is no, then it’s time to toss this one to the curb.


Thought That’s Keeping You Broke #4:

“I don’t want to work harder than I already do”


This was a big one for me and I know I’m not alone on this! That’s because we’ve been taught to believe (over and over) that hard work is how you make money. And at first this belief seems to make sense. But falls apart the minute you try to scale it. So if you’re already working hard and you want more money, your money goals might seem totally impossible. (I just can’t do more than I already am!

But the truth is hard work doesn’t have anything to do with getting paid well! (If that was true every school teacher would be rich!) Money and hard work actually have very little to do with each other. But there’s one thing that can earn you more money: value. When you offer the world at large more value, you have a very real reason to raise your prices or salary. (Whereas working more hours will just leave you exhausted!)

If you want to attract in more money, then you’ll have to get your thoughts clear about this subject! Otherwise you’re doomed to self-sabotage your money efforts.


Thought That’s Keeping You Broke #5:

“I have money blocks”


Okay, I know what I’m saying here! Yes, I agree that you probably do have money blocks (and that’s why you’re here). But it’s one thing to look for those blocks and work through them and it’s quite another to throw your hands up and give up on trying entirely!

I get it though: just thinking that you have money blocks can become a block in itself! But again, this is your brain just playing tricks on you. When you think “Oh my God I’m blocked around money! How am I going to get unblocked?” the problem seems much bigger and scarier than it really is. But when you focus on what each block actually is–aka just one simple sentence or belief that needs to shift–then you can get your control back.

Getting unblocked around money is something everyone can do! So don’t get freaked out by the process. Dive in and work through it all, thought by thought.



So tell me: which money belief hit home the most? And which money-attracting thoughts are you going to start replacing your old broke thoughts with?


Your money story is not out of your hands! It’s being written by you with every thought, word and belief. If it’s time for you to start manifesting money and abundance into your life, then I really challenge you to start thinking about how your own thoughts might be getting in your way. You always have the power to change your thinking so don’t forget to exercise that power!

3 Tips For Manifesting Money

How To Manifest Money Like A Millionaire

by: Jenn

If you’re a spiritual babe, you might have a difficult time admitting your money ambitions!

But it’s true: you can be spiritual and RICH.

It’s an outdated notion that you can only be one or the other.


The truth is that money gives you power to do crazy good things in the world! When you have more money you can better support YOUR community, whatever community that might be.



A rising tide lifts all boats as they say!

So please don’t be afraid of your financial ambitions.

In fact, it’s time to become quite the opposite! Now’s the perfect time to claim those desires instead of pretending they don’t exist or ignoring them outright.

The more money you have, the more power you have! And I don’t have to tell you that the world needs more spiritual and powerful people right now! Living a life of poverty is just another way of avoiding your true potential here on earth. So if you want to truly do the work you were meant to, it’s time to start accepting your money ambitions as part of the full picture.

So with that in mind, today we’re going to talk more about how to powerfully and quickly manifest money! Here we go:


How To Manifest Money Like A Millionaire


Manifest Money Like A Millionaire Secret #1:

Stay Playful



Money is a high-emotion topic; we all have pretty strong memories and emotions when it comes to money. So it’s understandable that many of us also experience fear around money. Those fears typically manifest as avoidance or anxiety.

So be honest: how do you treat your money? Does your heart pound every time you open up a new bill? Do you secretly resent spending money, even on things like groceries? Or do you have grand visions of how much better you’ll feel once you’re finally rich?

All of those things can signal a fear of money! It’s crucial to remember that your energy and attitude in this manifestation experiment is what really matters. If your attitude is a fearful one, then you’ll just attract more fear! If money thinks you’re afraid, then it will do exactly what you’re telling it to do: to go away.

An attitude of fun and playfulness is always the key to successful manifesting! Because the more you can release, the better your results will be. That’s difficult to do from a fear state. So if the above fear symptoms are resonating with you, it’s time to do the mental work to turn things around.


Manifest Money Like A Millionaire Secret #2:

Practice Receiving



Many of us unwittingly block abundance because we’re actually not so good at receiving. If you refuse help with projects, turn down a drink or refuse to take a compliment, then listen up! This one’s for you.

The truth is we all have some pretty big expectations about the way the world works! We all think we’re so damn smart but there’s no way we could have figured out all possibilities. In fact, that’s the Universe’s job–not ours! And allowing space to be beautifully surprised involves relinquishing control over what we think is possible.

Receiving is all about connecting with our feminine energy. It requires you to drop out of the controlling masculine energy state and to simply allow things to show up for you.


Manifest Money Like A Millionaire Secret #3:

Know Your Value



For most people, large cheques aren’t going magically to fall out of the sky! Most of us are compensated by our jobs, investments or businesses for regular compensation. So you can’t think of money as being separate from those things! One windfall is not going to fix the problem!

In other words, if you’re at a dead-end job and totally hating it, you’ll need to do some serious mindset work to get back on track. If you’re being underpaid (and undervalued), it’s time to make the moves to fix it.

That doesn’t mean quitting your job and going out on your own tomorrow. We live in the real world and everything will be a lot easier for you if you know where your next rent cheque is coming from! But you can start planning your departure.

Maybe that means taking an online class, working on a side-hustle or minimizing your expenses and pocketing away as much money as you can so you will have the freedom to quit in a few months time. Perhaps none of those things sound like the glamorous win-the-lotto scenario that many manifestors envision! But they can all be steps on your journey towards abundance.

No matter what your situation is, you have incredible value to offer the world! Don’t let one low-paying job tell you otherwise. Wealth is simply created when you figure out a way to offer that value to the people who need it! Think about what ways you feel drawn to contribute to the world: how can you increase those opportunities in your life?

Money is always an exchange of energy so it’s time for you to be super clear about what you’re offering in exchange!


Manifest Money Like A Millionaire Secret #4:

Stay Open To Miracles



Your life can miraculously shift in a very short period of time! Think back over your life so far! I’m sure there’s at least one time period where you experienced a massive shift on multiple levels. That kind of fast-moving growth is called a quantum leap–or a miracle.

Quantum shifts can happen for you and your money goals too! The biggest obstacle in our way is always our own expectations. Basically, if you think things will be hard and take lots of time they will. Because you’re creating your reality, remember? So it’s time to expand your mind to new possibilities if you want to create change faster.

So make it your new money mantra: money comes to me quickly, easily and often.


Manifest Money Like A Millionaire Secret #5:

Give It Away



My absolutely proven money manifesting principle is to do the unexpected: give it away. I have seen this principle happen so fast it blows my mind!

Here’s a personal example that stands out to me because it was so incredibly quick: I once gave a homeless man in a bank vestibule a few euros. Then I went across the street to order some food and for some random reason, the cashier gave me a discount on my meal–which worked out to be 2 euro–the same amount I gave the homeless man!

Yes, it was a small amount of money but it stood out to me because it happened with lightning speed. It’s just a beautiful reminder that money isn’t static and we shouldn’t be afraid of using it (especially to help people!).

If you want to get really comfortable with a undeniable fact of money (there’s always more where that came from), then there’s no better way to practice what you preach! Try giving some money away: donate to charity, treat a friend to coffee, give some coins to a homeless person on the street. Do what you feel comfortable doing and give without expectation. You’ll be surprised to see just how fast that money energy returns right back to you!



Shifting your wealth consciousness is simply a matter of relating to money in a new way! We all have old unhelpful money attitudes and beliefs but those things have not served us well in our financial journey! It’s time to drop everything we thought we knew about money so we can finally shift into radical abundance!



Good luck with it and thank you so much for reading! Wishing you a massively abundant week ahead. Muah! ????

6 Secret Keys To Manifest Money Fast

by: Jenn

Let’s be real: money is an incredibly tricky thing to manifest! But that’s only because most of us carry so much resistance around it.

Money brings up lots of our emotional issues. Our self-worth is often very much tied into it. We feel indebted to it. We feel shame if we have too little of it. Or maybe we even feel desperate to figure out where the next cheque is going to come from.

All of those things mean your mindset is definitely one of lack! And when you’re feeling that sense of lack so intensely, it’s pretty darn difficult to shift into the mindset of happiness and play that successful manifestation requires.



So if you really want to speed up the force behind your intentions, it’s time to look deep within and start shifting to get more aligned with what you really want.


Yup, mindset is always the real key to manifesting!

Which is actually pretty cool because that also means there’s nothing standing in your way–except you. ????

So this week I’m sharing six secret keys to help you manifest money faster. Dare yourself to dream big, even where money is concerned! Then follow through with these simple manifesting suggestions to bring your dreams to life.


6 Secret Keys To Manifest Money Fast


Secret Key To Manifest Money Fast #1:

Open Up



In order to experience great shifts in your reality, your mind must be up to the challenge! Your attitude must be open before you can create a new experience.

And I know you’re thinking: but I am open.

But are you really?

Most of us experience huge blocks in how we think money can show up in our reality. Remember that money can be a wild wonderful thing and the Universe is infinitely clever! It can show up in the form of free coffee, unexpected cheques, bank refunds. We all tend to tie money only to our career path but there are actually tons of different ways money can manifest for you.

You just have to be willing to see them first. So open your eyes and shift into the mindset of receiving. You never know what’s going to show up for you next.


Secret Key To Manifest Money Fast #2:

Be Specific



The more specific you are about your goals, the better! The Universe loves specificity so throw any vague words like “more” right out of your manifesting vocab. What’s the actual number you’re after? Pick one and write it down. Focus on it. Get clear. And remember you don’t have to bite off more than you can chew! Do you really need $2000 by next week? Maybe you only need $400 now and the rest can come later.

Manifesting is a practice designed for you to use again and again so don’t treat it like it’s an all-or-nothing game!


Secret Key To Manifest Money Fast #3:

Stay Grateful



It doesn’t matter how much or how little money you currently have. Show it some respect by being grateful for it! Just like people in real life, the Universe doesn’t like to be taken for granted. So start by saying thank you and appreciating what you have.

To jump start the attitude of gratitude, spend a little extra time basking in the awesomeness of what you already own! Need inspiration? Look at your favorite outfit or bag or whatever is super precious to you! Then imagine your life without that thing.

We all tend to take the stuff we see every day for granted! So it’s always good to check in and have a little gratitude party for our existing life when that starts to happen.


Secret Key To Manifest Money Fast #4:

Keep The Faith



Keep believing in it despite evidence you see to the contrary. Sometimes things will seem to get worse before we get what we want! That might look like major shifts for you in a seemingly negative direction.

So just remember that the Universe has a divine plan for everyone and sometimes it takes some growing pains to weed out the things that are no longer serving us. (For example, getting fired from the job we were miserable at, getting dumped from the unsatisfying relationship etc.) Remember–you asked for a change! And you’re getting it, so don’t cling to the past out of fear. It’s time to jump.

So keep your head up despite the bumps in the road. What’s in your heart is always what matters most.


Secret Key To Manifest Money Fast #5:

Use Money Affirmations



If you’re currently stuck in a scarcity mentality, it’s time to start training yourself out of it. Let’s take gratitude to the next level and train yourself to be thankful, even when it comes to paying your bills.

(If you’re used to thinking negative or panicky thoughts about every extra money expenditure, then this exercise is for you!)

Here’s an easy money affirmation to test out. Try (mentally) saying “There’s plenty more where that came from!” every time you open your wallet to buy something or pay a bill. This represents a small but important shift from scarcity into flow. It’s shifting from thinking your money is a finite resource that needs to be guarded to deeply understanding that money is a renewable resource and capable of constantly replenishing.


Secret Key To Manifest Money Fast #6:

Give It Away



One of the most powerful things you can do with your money is give it away. Yup! Money is energy after all. It doesn’t like being hoarded or guarded too carefully. Part of our job with money is to use it–powerfully. Think of it as a blessing that’s yours to pass onwards.

Again, giving your money away represents a powerful shift from scarcity and lack into abundance. It’s showing the Universe that you are confident in your ability to receive more and that’s an intensely powerful thing.

But of course you can adapt this concept to fit where you’re at! Giving some change to a homeless person counts just as much as setting up automatic monthly donations to a charity of your choice. So no excuses! Get out there and give what you can.



I hope this post inspires you to tackle your abundance issues and start manifesting more money quickly! Remember, it’s all within your reach as long as you’re willing to put in the work.

Thank you so much for reading lovely! ????
