3 Ways to Use Affirmations to Manifest Money BY DR. MINETTE RIORDAN I n my first job out of graduate school I was teaching at a private school for troubled teens in Northern California. I was making $36,000 a year and it was the most I had ever made. When I started my first business as a magazine publisher, I realized I was stuck at that income and even though my company was grossing hundreds of thousands of dollars, I wasn’t making very much money. Then when I started my second business as a coach, I hit the same wall again. That was when I realized that I didn’t have a very healthy relationship with money. 80 I was emotionally disconnected from money. I didn’t want to pay attention to it. I struggled with why money was important to me. Until I got crystal clear about what I wanted most for my life. My husband and I dreamed of getting him out of his corporate job so we could build a business together. I knew I had another limiting belief to break through: that I could personally make enough money in my business to support my family. Using affirmations combined with journaling and coloring mandalas has been a powerful part of my healing journey. This creative www.AspireMAG.net | December 2017 / January 2018
