I know I may be jumping the gun a little bit but I had extra time to catch up in my reading n I wanted to ask for help on 8/6 topic life is always in motion so you cannot be stuck :
the end where it says " if you want things to change to different things, you must think different thoughts. And that simply requires finding unfamiliar ways of approaching familiar subjects!"

So can anyone help me with money about this I usually always beat everyone else's drum therefore creating lack. Pretty much my whole life has been lack full ha ha ha that sounds funny but seriously I feel a huge wall where it says unfamiliar ways as if I don't even have the slightest clue as to what to think about

Dani, perhaps you have been holding too tight to the lack end of the stick?
today's reading, well yesterday here! - anyway! -

When you expect something it is on the way. When you believe something, it is on the way. When you fear something it is on the way.

choosing different thoughts requires focus & practise

When you say beating other peoples' drums, do you mean 'where's my stuff? They've got stuff, how'd they do that? I want stuff, why have they got stuff & I don't? where's my stuff? Why are they happy & I'm not?'

if so how's this for approaching it from an unfamiliar way? - as in a way you are not accustomed to -
'Wow! Look at that stuff they've got. Awesome! That's driftwood for me! I'm hanging out with some amazing allowers! That feels great! If they can do it, I can do it! 'cause Abe says if I can think it, it can be! I'm gonna practise, I love this! And I love me!'

Dani the best thing to do is just find little baby steps that you can take in changing your thoughts. Don't need to go huge, try breaking "Money" down into smaller topics. Because there's "Money - monthly phone bill" and there's "Money - Buying a house". And it's okay to find a feel good place about the phone bill while staying mostly off the subject of the house, if that makes sense.

When it comes to bills, i changed my vibe many years ago when reading Louise Hay's You Can Heal Your Life. She suggested to find things to appreciate about bills, like the fact that the company trusts me to provide the service first and expect me to pay later. Milk that for a bit - a total stranger has complete faith in my ability to pay my bills! They trust me! They know that i am good, honest, capable. So maybe just maybe i can trust myself a little bit too.

And on a practical level, i love keeping a detailed budget so i know that i have enough money for bills and other things that i might not be able to pay for all at once. So i estimate my yearly electricity bill, then divide that number by 52 and save that amount each week. It helps me to feel calm and sure when the big bills come in quarterly. It also allows me to spend the money allocated to "Me" without any worry or guilt that i might need that money for something else.

I hope this helps. I'd love to also hear anyone else's suggestions

No not really but I can appreciate these words you put here n the vibes! When I beat other people's drums it's mostly my moms ...." I don't have a job I can't" etc etc I lived with her for too long n I began beating her drum even though money never seemed to be an issue for me exactly I want to detach myself away from her b her thoughts I want to actually win the lottery or have my millions that I know are in my escrow I sometimes think I'm so close but then I start beating the drum that my mother does I don't like what she says but it's sort of all I know. She tells me I'm too angry of a person to have 50 million dollars I'd BETTER split it with her. So like if I sit down n think ah ok how do I want to feel about 50 million dollars yucky feeling pop up every time we would buy a lottery ticket n didn't win it was my fault cause she always said "I felt great I was in the vortex where we're you?" But then she would complain about not enough money to pu te bills or how was she going to pay this or that or worse she's make me feel guilty because I did have the money n I was doing fun things when she wasn't .... How do I a 180
