Gratitude first.

I used to struggle to be grateful for the money I spent, because I didn’t trust there would be enough.

But when I sat down and actually looked at this belief, I saw that I always had enough for the bills, the groceries, whatever. I never knew how, but there was always enough. 

Then the belief became there was always enough for the necessities. 

But I craved more. I didn’t want to just survive pay check to pay check. 

I wanted there to be plenty.

And the new belief became “there is more than enough for my needs, wants, and desires”. And as I continue to stretch into this, there is even more gratitude for no longer stressing about how bills will be paid, because they always are. Plus, with less stress there’s more space for fun and joy. 

Gratitude first.
