Ep #80: Change Your Money Story To “I Can Do Anything”

Have you ever tried something and didn’t succeed the first time? Learn how Rekka successful changed her money mindset.   Old Money Story: I Am Bad With Money New Money Story: I Can Do Anything     REKKA CHANGED HER MONEY STORY & CREATED ABUNDANCE IN HER LIFE   Rekka Jay is a 37 year old Graphic Designer by day and Author by night. She has a fiction trilogy being published in January 2018 along with many other writing projects. Ultimately, she describes herself as a “keep myself busy kind of girl”.   Growing up, she held the belief that she was bad with money because it was taboo to talk about.  No one ever told her she was bad with money, she just believed it as her own truth. She thought it was simple as arithmetic but when it wasn’t she felt out of control with it.   If she didn’t have control of her money, she assumed she was naturally bad at it.   The more she thought this, the more it became true.   REKKA WANTED ME TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR HER MONEY STORY   Rekka joined Manifest 10K after hearing a podcast I did with Elle Russ. During this first attempt at taking the Manifest 10K course, she was manifesting but found herself “stopped” about halfway through the course when it moved from daily instruction to the point where it was time for her to life this life she was creating.   As a participant, she put the responsibility back on me as the instructor for not holding her hand every day. It was a on a podcast with Ginny Gane that Rekka heard me say, “If you are blaming someone else, turn it around and look at yourself”. Rekka did that and gave Manifest 10K a second attempt.   REKKA HAD TO GET CLEAR ON WHAT SHE WANTED NEXT   In redoing the coursework, Rekka’s challenge was to let go of what she thought she knew the first time.  She remembered my advice of “leaving the old behind and just create new stories”.     Much changed for Rekka between her first attempt to do the course and the second time. Her plan was to be a self-published author the first time but since then she got an offer from a publisher. This was a wonderful thing but now Rekka had to work on getting clarity as it didn’t look like she thought it would. This happens often in manifesting. Things show up differently than expected.  This offer made her decide what she “really wanted” which was simply to share her book with others.   Since that goal was complete, Rekka now had  to look at what she really wanted besides her book being published.   MONEY STARTED SHOWING UP FOR REKKA IN RANDOM PLACES   In her old money story, Rekka would leave money she saw lying on the ground but with her new awareness around all money, she picks up all pennies she finds. Rekka shared a story showing how new money is just showing up in her life.   Randomly at a doctor’s appointment a stranger asked Rekka and her husband if they knew anything about “the pennies”. This woman told Rekka that everyday someone stacks pennies all over this particular office building in the hallways. These piles of pennies were creating curiosity throughout the building.
