Practices

• MEDITATION

  • Higher Light Decree: The Awakened Entrepreneur MEDITATION

DATE WITH MONEY

• DATE WITH MONEY - once a week

  • Make this non-negotiable, put it in your diary as a weekly event (for example, every Friday at 11am)

  • Put nice music, light a candle, put some incense on - make it a loving and sacred experience

  • Observe where money has been flowing in and out, bring curiosity and awareness

  • Celebrate all the money that has come in

  • Bring gratitude for the money that has been invested

• FINANCIAL DETOX

  • In one of your dates with money, have the intention of doing a “spring” clean

  • Have a look at where the money is going: memberships, subscriptions, etc

  • Ask yourself if it’s still worth investing in it, lean into the energy of clearing anything that is no longer relevant

  • Take action to cancel, pause or modify any ongoing payments that might no longer be needed (do this asap, instead of procrastinating - you will feel so good after! you can use the 5 second rule as inspiration)
