though he wasn’t supporting me, my father’s favorite method of showing me love, and feeling needed and valued, was to give me money, and I realized that I subconsciously believed that if I got rich, I’d be rejecting his love and basically stabbing him in the heart. This realization was easily some of the most important information I’ve ever received in my life, aside from learning that Jeff Rumarez had a crush on me in ninth grade too. Once in possession of my heartbreak over dear old Dad, I was able to question, defuse, and rewrite my limiting, subconscious belief and grow forth in grand, new ways. . . . BUSTING YOURSELF TIP #1: BUM-RUSH YOUR FEARS. Figure out something you can do right now that will take you a giant step closer to your goal of getting rich. Make sure it’s something scary, something that you’d really rather not do because it’s super uncomfy, something that makes you feel like you might puke, e.g., renting the massive space for your new handbag company, flying across the country and figuring out how to get yourself in front of the guy who’s hiring for that engineering job that you’re perfect for, cold-calling ten prospective clients, hiring a new full-time employee, etc. Notice any limiting subconscious beliefs that may get scared out of hiding as a result, and if you have anything come forth, write it down. Or, you know, have a meltdown. In public. Like I did. I broke down into such an unraveled state of sobbing hysteria in the middle of this seminar that the only reason I survived was that I didn’t want to spend my last days on earth in Las Vegas. But afterward, I felt great. It was like hurling up something that really needed to leave my system. I felt lighter, relieved, like I’d been handed a permission slip to finally grow up. Once you’ve uncovered your heretofore unknown unhelpful belief, take the time to feel whatever feelings come up. I mean it—pause, acknowledge, and let any sadness or frustration or heartache out of your system: Damn you, limiting subconscious belief! I spent half a century eating clam chowder from a can at home instead of dining at the fancy steak house because of you! Let your feelings rip, but don’t hang out there for the rest of your life. Your Little Prince was trying to keep you alive and loved, so once you’ve had your temper tantrum, focus on where you’re headed, not on resenting the past. Once you’ve discovered what’s been holding you back and given yourself a chance to start releasing it, begin feeling into a new story using the specifics of what you’ve learned. For example, I visualized my father being so happy and proud of my financial success. I imagined myself telling him how much I love him, thanking him for being such an awesome role model, and felt him being relieved that I was able to take care of myself financially. Another thing that I did and still do is let him give me money. I’m so much more aware of how it lights him up, which then lights me up, and my newfound understanding of the energy in this exchange makes me receive the money with even more gratitude and love for my dad than I had when I actually needed it. He has no idea about any of this (um, Dad, are you reading this?) and that’s not the point—this is all your stuff, these are the beliefs that you created yourself, it’s about releasing the energy inside you, not about involving other people in your therapy session. BUSTING YOURSELF TIP #2: WATCH YOUR MOUTH.
If I say to you, “You can’t make money because you’re a moron,” it conjures up a thought and a feeling in you, just as, “You are awesome, infinitely powerful, and I love you,” brings up a thought and a feeling too. Your thoughts are the superhighway to the spiritual world, which is where Universal Intelligence is hanging out, filing its nails, waiting for you to place an order. And since words and thoughts are total besties—they share everything, finish each other’s sentences, back each other up, and pass information and emotions back and forth like secret notes in high school—if you’re broke or not where you want to be financially, you can be sure that your language could use an upgrade. Just like taking massive action can call forth buried beliefs, so can noticing what falls out of your mouth. Words are great truffle pigs to uncover your hidden thoughts and beliefs about money. Luckily, the process of busting yourself on your words is pretty easy. You basically just have to make the decision to pay attention. Now that you’ve made the commitment to read this book and figure out your money stuff, make the commitment to become aware of your language. Make this your mantra: Slow down and shut up. Get practiced at taking deep breaths before you speak. This will give you the space to stop, notice what was about to come out of your mouth, and course correct if needed. Paying attention to what other people say is another great trick (and, you know, kind of a good thing to do in general). It’ll give you the chance to think: Hmmm, is that what I sound like? This is usually very enlightening because the people we hang out with most tend to share our own perceptions of reality, and hence tend to verbalize the same beliefs about money that we do. Here are some phrases to watch for with others and yourself: I want (= I lack) I wish (but I’m not in control = disempowering) I need (cuz I ain’t got = lack) I can’t (obv) I’m trying (but I’m not committed) I hope (might happen/might not = lacks faith) I should (but maybe I won’t and maybe I don’t wanna) I don’t know (spoken as truth, slams door shut on finding out) Here are some excellent replacements: I have I create I’m grateful for I enjoy I can I choose I love
