And I catch myself again, making money-saving decisions. It's not the way it has to be but it is a habit that is hard to shake.
Choosing abundance is not like wasting monetary resources, like a spell I keep recasting. But when you know you really want something, basics like grocery shopping, opting for the little package or the less luxurious item even though you really want the other one is not a good habit to go on because it sends the wrong signal to the universe.
It's like a recurring affirmation to life that there aren't enough resources. Like a constant affirmation that everything has to be stingy and conserved when all we really wanna do these days is to break free from those constraints. We are simple people, we don't need a lot. But when we come home after a shopping trip and instantly regret not having treated us with the proper... grandieur... then that's a lesson that still has not been learned. Because the lesson itself keeps restating its own inherent importance.
I see it in my trading as well. Making glorious trade entries but then being too stingy to trust in them and take the heat for 1 hour before it skyrockets. Sell out for a loss before it can even materialize. Too scarcity driven. Not enough trust.
So the main goal these days again is to not only focus on abundance but also reaffirm it constantly. In every little decision. In every little situation that arises where there is a choice to be made between the little and the approapriate, between the cheap and the appropriate.
It's not like it would hurt in the long run either, so on a purely logical level there is no reason to be stingy. Resources always come in from somewhere, life has this funny way of supporting us as human beings, because we are all here, reading this inside a heated home and being fed - somehow. So why all the worry?
Maybe that is the key to it all. Making that shift happen and learning to live by it all the way, until it is a habit like breathing or brushing teeth. Until it has become such an integral part of myself that the question no longer arises.
