Relax - It's Safe For You to Prosper!

This article is dedicated to those good people who deserve to prosper but are afraid to do so. If you are someone who always seems to struggle with money, even when there doesn't appear to be a good reason for doing so, you may find this article enlightening.

Are you always struggling to get by with less money than you need to meet your bills and put food on the table? And has your life been this way for as long as you can remember?

Do you notice even when external circumstances seem ideal your financial reality remains predictably bleak? Have you found that things can be lined up perfectly for a new job, a winning business deal, or some other form of cash windfall, only to completely fall apart at the last minute?

If you answered yes, please take a minute to carefully consider this next question. Clear your mind, relax, and prepare to be completely honest with yourself on this very important matter.

When you think about receiving $5,000 tax-free right now, how do you feel? Seriously imagine I am about to just hand you the money and assess how you really feel about that.

Maybe you got excited. Maybe you felt legitimate joy and expansion.

Or, it's possible that a knot formed in your stomach. You could have noticed instant tension in your shoulders and a feeling of confusion, or even dread.

Did you experience these or other negative feelings and physical sensations? It's really important that you are honest with yourself when answering this question.

If you felt absolutely fabulous when visualizing your newfound prosperity that's good. In fact you might not even need to finish this article because it likely does not apply to you.

However, if you noticed a reflexive and negative reaction to the mere thought of receiving a healthy dose of money it means you probably have deeply rooted fears of change and success. Here are a couple of other qualifying questions for you:

Whenever you are close to receiving a big check - like maybe a tax refund - or some other form of financial relief like a pay raise at work, do you ever experience a strange sense of guilt or worry? When you might expect yourself to be overjoyed and excited about making financial progress, do you instead become disconnected, irritable, and even depressed?

The fact is many people have this experience. You are not alone, and you are absolutely not crazy or deranged.

If you can honestly identify these feelings, the fact is you have made an enormous leap in your personal development. Most people never admit to feeling sad, frightened, or otherwise upset by the idea of receiving money and/or financial abundance.

And yet it's probable that millions of people suffer from a very real fear of prosperity. How and why can this be?

For one thing, plenty of money is a big change for people who are used to struggling and scraping by. You may not be happy living in poverty, but at least it's normal and familiar to you; drastic change in this area of your life can easily be scary or unpleasant.

Consider that over 80% of lottery winners (and nearly 100% of winners who came from serious poverty) lose all of their jackpot money on average within just two years. These people are shell shocked by the change and will blow their cash on just about anything to get back to a "normal", comfortable feeling.

Also, there is the issue of being worthy or unworthy. You may very well not feel like you deserve to have more than enough money to pay your bills, have fun, and even help others with your excess cash flow.

It's important to recognize that whatever the specific cause of your fear and discomfort about financial success, as long as you feel this way it will be virtually impossible to have plenty of money in your life. You'll keep finding unconscious ways to sabotage yourself, or you'll simply scare the energy of money away from you on a consistent basis.

So how can you change? How can you stop being scared of prosperity?

You've already started. By simply acknowledging this issue you have opened the door to releasing it.

There are many good methods for building your positive prosperity consciousness. But your first step is to simply be aware of your fears and discomforts; catch yourself being upset when you think about having plenty and sit with the thoughts and feelings until they subside.

Begin to affirm to yourself that it's completely safe for you to have more than enough. Look at people who have plenty of money and tell yourself quite honestly that you are as good and smart as those folks. Smile as you think about money; enjoy the way paper money feels in your hands and love the way it smells.

As you begin to change how you feel about money you'll literally be inviting more of it to enter your life. Within a few short months your financial life can be completely renewed if you continue to release your fears and come to believe that is both safe and good for you to have more than enough prosperity in your life.
