I know way too many of you that are feeling financial pressure and are “trying” to work with the Law of Attraction and you keep telling me “It doesn’t work”. It is hard for me to see and feel things so clearly and know that you don’t get it. I am going to write this post and try to help to make it more clear for you so that you can begin to see it work in your life.
Things that you do when you are trying to use the Law of Attraction and you think it’s not working for you.
• You talk all about spending money ALL THE TIME.
• You don’t talk about or dream about NOT spending. You don’t talk and dream about SAVING money, or paying back the people or institutions you owe.
• You constantly and consistently talk about spending and what you want but don’t have.
• You don’t say “I have DEBT and I need to work my ass off to pay it off BEFORE I spend anything else”
• You say “I have to be able to have SOMETHING for myself for all this hard work I do”. (Chances are if you are reading this you do have some things for yourself, either a computer or smart phone for one).
• You chase opportunities with your money. Whether it’s an MLM, or a training program, or a “work at home” scheme, you are always looking for the “next big money maker”, without picking one thing at a time and putting your focus on it. You waste hundreds, or thousands per year that you do not have, to “chase” money. If you do this, you are doing it from a place of knowing you don’t have money and vibrating in a place of lack. I am involved in a couple of MLMs but it is because I like the product and think it may help other people too. I rarely make money on MLMs because I do not join them to make money. I just have my FOCUS on doing readings and helping you that way. If I make money on an MLM it is because I have an abundant mindset, not because I am chasing anything. (There are many people in the same MLMs as me that ARE making money. They are making money that way though, because they put their FOCUS into it, and that is one of their main sources of income).
• You are always complaining about the prices of things, (food, gas, services, pretty much anything and everything).
• You spend money before you earn it and say “I will just manifest more for my bills (rent, food, mortgage, car payment) later”. This is a killer.
• You spend money on your wants before you take care of your needs. This leaves you feeling very stressed about having your needs met. Stress like this is pretty much “ANTI” manifesting what you want, and just manifests more of the stressful feelings of not having your needs met.
• You have read something that tells you that you have to be always thinking about what you want. This only works if you truly believe you can have what you are thinking about and if it makes you feel good to think about it 100% of the time. Here’s a tip. If you really believed you could have it, you would be able to write a list of what you want and put it away KNOWING that now that you have written it down, it will show up (even if it takes a long time and even if you NEVER think about it again).
The problem when you are “trying” to manifest is that you think about what you want, you think that you have to think about it day in and day out, see it on a vision board 10 times a day, and that will bring it. That will NOT bring it to you, and that will not make it come any quicker if you are not feeling happy. You need to be happy and grateful and loving before anything positive can come to you.
You think that you can just “manifest” money without getting off your ass and doing something. Yes, you need to do things that feel good, but I know very few people who feel good without some type of work to do. Sitting around day in and day out doing nothing does not feel good, and just creates through the Law of Attraction, more feelings of not feeling good.
You can say “I have to visualize what I want”, well yes, but if you visualize it KNOWING you have debt to pay off, that you cannot afford it, and feel like its a pipe-dream, you don’t feel good visualizing it.
Now that we have covered what may be some of your habits, let’s look at a things a new way.
Think of your debt as being similar to KARMA. Many of you reading this seem to understand karmic debt. Well 3D financial debt is pretty much the same thing. You need to pay for all the ‘stuff’ you have received (or used, or done) already.
With Karmic Debt, you said, did, spent something, either now or in a past life, and you need to ‘pay back’ before you can move forward.
What about paying for all the stuff you have already received? What about all the times you spent money on gifts for yourself or others? They (and you) don’t even remember what you bought them for Christmas last year, but you still have to pay for it. That vacation you took last month, last year, 5 years ago? Some of you have still not paid for it. You put it on credit, and never did pay it off. Just paying interest every month for years. You need to take responsibility for that. No one forced you to do it. YOU DID IT. YOU need to pay for it. Not grudgingly, but with happiness and gratitude for the trip (or the gifts or whatever you spent). Don’t spend so much time griping about the interest payments, no one held a gun to your head and MADE you spend that money. Every time you make a payment on that card, be HAPPY about it. You received something, now you are paying it back.
Of course the way to avoid this is to be patient and SAVE UP for what you want. If you REALLY TRULY believed in the Law of Attraction, Manifesting, and an Abundant Universe, you would NEVER spend money on credit again. You would simply write down what you wanted and KNOW that if it was for your Highest and Best Good, that it would arrive, and in the perfect time for you.
Do you have a vehicle? Did you finance it? Have you been paying for the same vehicle for the past 5 years, and still have two years (or more) on your loan? If this is the case, then you have likely bought more vehicle than you could afford. After the initial “high” of a nice new vehicle has worn off, do you find yourself complaining about the payments? Or that your car is now getting old and you might need a new one? Or worse yet, that you owe three times more on your loan than your vehicle is now worth? If you TRULY believed in the LoA, you would have bought what you could afford at the time and MANIFESTED more money for a better vehicle ~ or if you are a really good manifester, maybe you would have even won a car.
SMARTEN UP! Stop doing this to yourself. Stop making excuses. YOU ARE CREATING YOUR OWN REALITY. Financial and otherwise. Be grateful that it’s you. The SECOND that you take responsibility for YOUR OWN STUFF you empower yourself. You ENABLE yourself to begin to do things differently. If you find yourself complaining more than once a year (we all get ‘moods’) that the Law of Attraction does not work you don’t “believe” it. Those that really believe it, that live by the motto “I will see it when I believe it”, RARELY or NEVER question it. They go within, they pay attention to THEIR thoughts and feelings, they look for examples of how things are working or not in their life, they change, they work on becoming very aware of where their thoughts and feelings are going ALL THE TIME. They see and feel the similarities of the energy between seemingly unrelated events in their life. They KNOW it’s up to them, they do not BLAME (others, the economy, their spouse, their parents, kids….).
IT IS A FEELING. The “facts” have NOTHING to do with it. Nothing at all. If you cannot feel good about money, money cannot come to you. Stop complaining about how things “ARE”, take responsibility for your life, and start taking steps (no matter how small), to make the life you want.

This post totally reminds me of an audio by Kevin Trudeau where he talks about financial pressure, and how he would go to a person’s house and they would be complaining about how much financial pressure they were under with all their debts and how they had no money to invest in building their businesses, yet when he looked around he would see a bookshelf wall with 500 DVDs on it (which cost them about $10,000 to accumulate), and a brand new big screen TV, and a new set of couches and a brand new car parked in their driveway.
They would have all these new things they bought, on credit, usually so that they can keep up with their friends and look cool, but really their friends are also broke and in debt and only bought their new stuff to keep up with THEIR friends as well. 🙂
To manifest with the Law of Attraction we have to feel good. When we build our dream board, we have to feel good. If debt is making us feel crappy, then we have to visualize paying off our debts. Visualize having all our bills settled and all our cards paid off. We have to feel good about what we want, otherwise it works against us.
EXACTLY what I was getting at Paul! My sole purpose in life right now is to feel good and to help others feel good too! I will have all I want and all I need – I know this because I feel so very good while working toward it.
Thanks for this Strong post Tamara! So many takeaways and wake up calls. The Law of Attraction is working for us ALL the time whether we are thinking about abundance or lack of. The Universe will find a way to give it to us. Focus was key for me. Focus on what you want. Focus on being grateful for what you have now. Focus on your dream and stop chasing shiny objects. Focus on how you are feeling. Focus on feeling good now ^^. Take responsibility for your life and like you said ‘Smarten Up!’.
You are welcome Su, I like your sentence “Focus on your dream and stop chasing shiny objects” – that fits perfectly!
We can all have, be, or do whatever we want…
“The SECOND that you take responsibility for YOUR OWN STUFF you empower yourself.”
I couldn’t agree more. I feel that taking 100% responsibility in our lives leads to success in all areas. Thanks for this awesome reminder Tamara!
Fantastic article Tamara. We are masters of our own reality, and by always complaining about things we don’t want (debt, bad things happening, our problems. etc.) we are creating more and more of the same. I know that because I’ve done it too.. the difference is being AWARE of it and focussing our intentions on what we DO want.. And taking ACTION towards that. Even small steps like you mentioned.
