I really, I mean, just to kind of provide some context here, everything that I talk about is everything that I needed to hear and that I've personally used to change my life.

And so I kind of was the kitten everywhere.

And I was like, okay, I need to, you know, show myself a lot of new things.

But one specific sort of

example is around abundance and money.

I mean, I grew up hearing, you know, money doesn't grow on trees and different phrases like that.

Right, right.

And I feel like that one especially, it kind of brought up this like guilt in me for even wanting to

charge my worth or even wanting to make more money.

And it's like when you feel guilty for even having a goal, then you're, I mean, that's just going against your own identity there and your brain's not going to want to help you go and do that.

But specifically with this money example, kind of

Money doesn't grow on trees.

I actually, I mean, there were a number of experiences where I kind of shifted, right?

I mean, just showing myself, I always call it looking for evidence of the opposite.

So looking for examples in reality where my belief isn't true, whether it be in other people, in society, just different examples where it might not be true or even from my own past where it might not be true.

And then, you know, yes, maybe starting through affirmations or visualization, maybe training my perception.

And perception training is something that I found to be so useful for just so many different things.

But specifically for this example, kind of just training my perception, like, hey, if you want to see more money, then you need to train your brain for that.

And you don't just ask, you don't just say, I want to see more money.

You actually look for it and train your brain to see it more and kind of prime your brain for that through, you know, affirmations or things like that.
