budgeting with abundance in mind liberates the soul
By on March 26th, 2008
I was here in this executive office, yesterday going over my new budget.
Each time I make the trip to downtown Portland’s Morgan Stanley to visit my dear financial adviser (and VP of Morgan Stanley) Rupa Jack, I always have that feeling I will walk away with more than that which I stepped in with. And I always do. Here’s what I mean…
There is something empowering about talking about money, without fear and letting yourself be guided by a trusted financial expert who also happens to be a philanthropist. Well, for me, that’s you Rupa Jack. You’ve got some serious money energy swimming in your dna. Thank-you for officially putting me on a budget and for planting healthy seeds that are already sprouting. It’s very exciting! Ok, so at first I had my freak-out moment but as I walked back to my car I just surrendered and had this sense of abundance wash over me, like I was removing internal blocks. And I am….

Budgeting can be scary but it’s also a step towards freedom. It’s consciously aligning ourselves with money energy in a positive way, not only to serve our needs, but also to open doors for dreams to manifest. Mine is happening right now on this very planet, and I am deeply grateful.

I am with you sister goddess! My budget has started also, it is empowering if we can just release to the fear. Thank you universe for all the abundance you are providing us!!!! Love, peace and happiness to all.

Amen! About 4 months ago I put my business on a budget, and my husband and I commited ourselves to actually following our household budget - and imagine this - we are now seeing more and more financial abundance!
But it was more than a budget that helped create abundance. A perspective shift played a big part as well.
I used to look far down the road and see scarcity (”we won’t be able to cover x,y,z expenses”) which somehow prompted over spending in the present. It seems perverse that I would have done that but I see now [aha moment follows] that it was my way of consciously creating the reality of scarcity that I had envisioned [the choir sings as I soak up what I just wrote!].
Now I simply ask myself to make daily choices that are aligned with my goals and values. That is all I can do. If I do only that, I am doing plenty, I feel aligned with myself, and I feel good!
Happily, the outcome has been that I no longer manifest a reality of scarcity, rather I manifest a reality of abundance. And I did that even when I didn’t see how it could be possible.
Now I KNOW abundance is possible, even if my gremlins are sure that it is not!!!!
To bring this back to the beginning - creating a budget - I realize now that the budget is the financial blueprint of my goals and values. It makes daily, mundane choices easier to make.[Ahhh... another litte aha!]
Thanks for the post! I learned a lot about my journey in the process of posting this reply!!!
