Being in debt is often a symptom of having a poor relationship with money. Money is never supposed to control us or our actions; it is simply a tool that we can use to accomplish our goals. So if your aim is to become debt free you must first take a look at your relationship with money.

Look at your debts-the bills or mortgage or loan papers-and see how you feel. You are probably upset, stressed out, uptight when you look at that pile of paper. How you feel when you look at your debt becomes a clear target for tapping. There are five or six tappable issues around becoming debt free, such as, “Even though I’m uptight…,” “Even though I feel intense stress…,” Even though I don’t feel I can fix it…,” “Even though I blame myself…” When you reduce intense emotions and the charge on an issue, as you can do through meridian tapping, you get clarity. Your system clears up, your debt no longer feels like a heavy, horrible thing, and you can start to get ideas about what to do.

Start Slow

Everybody would love to be a millionaire overnight but that simply isn’t how it’s done for most of us. We have to start out slowly and be willing to take steps to change our vibration one increment at a time. It is possible to change your level of vibration so much that by the next day you are a completely new person. You can be empowered by the feeling of being free from worry about your debts. You will understand that you have them but you will no longer be sickened by them. You’ll begin to have ideas on how to fix your indebtedness whether it means selling something or consolidating your debts or devising a new budget. You will find ways to make positive steps that keep you motivated to continue on your path, like paying off your lowest balance credit card so that you only have seven cards to pay off instead of eight. That is progress and it lifts your energy and propels you onward to make more positive changes.

Listen To Your Ideas

Everyone has fantastic ideas about what to do in their business and what to do to become debt free, but they are not paying attention because they are upset, stressed out, getting involved in other people’s business, eating or drinking too much, or not using the law of attraction. Learn who you are, what you offer, and what the benefits are to other people. Anyone can write an ebook or put together a short audio presentation about something and sell it for $10. Don’t think about the projects that are going to bring in $10,000 yet. Not yet.

Appreciate What You Have

Appreciate what you do have and try to reduce the tension and stress around the problem. Whatever the problem – being debt free, getting more clients, dealing with depression – name some things that are going well in your life. Start a list. Even if you are in debt, there has to be something that is okay, even if it is very small. Debt is frustrating and exhausting; you need to learn how you got into debt. Are you a compulsive spender? What is your anxiety about money? Are you blaming other people or are you looking at your own behavior so you don’t do it again? You don’t go into debt overnight. How did it happen? How did you get seduced into spending more than you have? Whatever your situation you need to ask what you need to do to not continue to be in debt.
