Money and the recession seems to be on the minds of everyone I talk to. 

I thought I would share a little bit about how stress affects finances and what we can all do to turn things around.

There is a great money making tip that can be learned from a study done by The University of Arizona that monitored the brains of golfers during competition.  The results showed that those who were at the top of their game had more RIGHT brain activity and those who didn’t do as well had more left brain activity.

The left brain has to do with critical and analytical thinking.  Golfers who are thinking about every move and trying to be sure they are doing everything right have left brain activity.  The study showed that they don’t score as well as those who had more RIGHT brain activity.  In the world of professional golf, that translates to “Left brain thinkers don’t make as much money.”  They aren’t the ones who are winning at their game.

The RIGHT brain is active in athletes who are “in the zone.”  They are at peace because they know the components are in place.  They have a good foundation that was built during hours of practice-teaching their body what to do.  They don’t need to think about things because there is a bodily process that is in place. 

Being at peace and knowing they can rely on the foundation that has been built through their practice allows their left brain to take a break while their right brain stays engaged.  There are some almost magical things that happen that lead to greater success when a certain kind of mental focus and creative visualization is used.  That means feeling at peace while at the same time experiencing strong positive emotions and picturing success. 

What does that have to do with you and your bottom line?

We are learning some amazing things about the power of the mind that can help you attain your financial goals.  But just like an athlete needs to have a bodily process established for the flow of desired results, you need a system that is in place that allows you to be at peace about your finances.

Put a plan down on paper so you are clear about where you stand and where you are going.  Then do some of the practices I write about like using creative visualization and practicing visualization techniques and exercises.  Do personal goal setting that includes visualizing the end result and feeling grateful that things are in the process of working out.  Then relax and go with the flow as you make an effort to be aware of opportunities that come your way. 

It may not be the easiest thing to do right now with the mass consciousness of fear weighing so heavily, but I do believe we can create a different reality if we stay focused on it.  Just take a small bite at first and keep focusing on the idea that things are on their way to improving.

Refuse to allow fear to be a part of your thoughts as soon as you realize that it is.   As more people practice creative visualization and focus on the positive with appreciation for something everyday, we can turn around the negative mass consciousness by contributing positive energy.

I personally was never able to consistently control my negative thoughts, feelings and actions until I discovered energy work or energy medicine.  When I added that to my process of using visualization techniques, my life changed dramatically.

If you would like more information on the process I use every day, be sure to visit my “Energy Medicine” page on my website.  At first it seemed a little crazy but when something works, it’s worth looking into.  When you do that, it makes a lot of sense now that we know more about the energy that makes up everything in the universe.  Check it out here.
