Just over 6 months ago, I joined a membership group called The Money Lounge – set up by The Money Whisperer. It’s a group for women to build ‘wealthy mindsets’ with a view to becoming financially resilient. Two weeks ago I booked a 1:1 coaching session and Emma – The Money Whisperer herself – walked me through a visualisation exercise. It was pretty powerful.
Joining this membership group has transformed my life in the same way that journaling has. {Read the About section of my website that outlines my ‘journaling journey!’}. Well, actually it’s transformed my approach with money more so my life, but things have changed for the better already as a result and I have no doubt those little changes will turn into big transformations.
If you’ve heard about the book The Secret, then you’ll be aware of The Law Of Attraction. I have been applying this in the last year or so and without delving into too much detail, it has been working for me. Basically – the premise is you attract whatever ‘energy’ you give out to the world. It may seem a bit ‘mystical’ and bit ‘woo woo’ – all I’d say is keep an open mind. There’s a film on YouTube about it – which is grating, well I found it grating – but work past the ‘fluff’, the dramatic music and the dramatic editing and be just be open. I’d encourage you to also watch The Secret: Dare To Dream which is available to watch on Netflix. Whilst it’s considered a ‘chick flick’ it outlines the theory of The Law Of Attraction in the form of a romantic film in a more ‘palatable’ fashion. And yes, I do like romantic films, so sue me.
A couple of days ago, one of my dearest friends and I had been messaging one another – catching up on all the goss! She suggested that I write a letter to myself on New Year’s Eve, outlining what I want to achieve and learn in the year 2021, what I’ll be most proud of and how I will feel at the time of opening this letter next New Year’s Eve. As you can see, I wrote the letter a day late! That aside, as I was writing this letter to my future self this New Year’s Day, I visualised what it would be like to achieve what I plan to set out to do. I have set myself three goals which I’m going to share because ‘putting it out there’ will make me accountable! There are tonnes of other things I want to do. But these are the main ones.
1: Sort out my broadcast career: to keep working in TV production in Bristol and to continue to advocate diversity in broadcast
2: Buy my home: I really want somewhere to call my own in the city of Bristol. I have grown to love this city more and more each day
3: I’m not going to share this one because I can either take it or leave it. I’ll be ready for it once I’ve achieved the first two goals – but – if this happens sooner then great…gotta keep myself open to new possibilities!
I took the letter with me to the beach for my New Year’s Day walk, as you can see 👆🏼(I was once given the name Glam Tan at a previous workplace…it’s one of my favourite nicknames!)
Whilst I was walking along I focused in on all the things I want to happen for me in 2021 and I daydreamed, i.e., visualised what it would be like when those things happen and how I would feel. Essentially I pretended that the things I want are not just ‘wants’ but are a reality. Let’s see what my energy brings back for me!
2021 better watch out!
