Earlier, we talked about how budgeting is hard—and often comes with a rollercoaster of emotions. But today, I want to focus on how we can shift our money mindset and begin manifesting abundance on a daily basis.
Because here’s the truth: budgeting and manifesting abundance aren’t opposites. In fact, when you start shifting how you see and interact with money, you’ll start noticing the abundance that already exists in your life—and inviting more of it in.
Track Your Expenses and Your Savings
Yes, I 100% believe in tracking every expense—but I also believe in tracking every win.
Take this for example: I used to go to Dunkin’ Donuts every weekday. That’s $6–$8 per visit. Let’s be conservative and say $6 x 180 school days = $1,080 a year.
This year, I invested in a Nespresso for $100 and now spend about $20 every two weeks on coffee supplies. Do the math: 20 weeks = $250 on pods + $100 machine = $350 a year. Remember we are only calculating the school year.
✅ That’s a $730 savings just from making coffee at home. That’s abundance. That’s manifestation in action.
But How Do I Stay Motivated?
Let’s be honest—I’m not perfect. I still overspend some days. I still crave takeout. But here’s how I’m working on staying consistent:
- Budgeting daily, even if I don’t feel like it
- Using coupons (digital + mail)
- Meal planning (even if I’m not always shopping sales yet)
- Shifting focus from only what I spend to what I save
How to Shift Your Money Mindset to Manifest Abundance
Here are actionable steps to help you change your relationship with money and begin manifesting abundance:
1. Define What You Want
Clarity is powerful. Be specific with your money goals.
For example:
- Reduce debt by $10,000 this year
- Earn a raise and a new job title, hitting $90,000/year
- Build an emergency fund of $3,000
When you know what you’re working toward, your brain starts filtering opportunities for you.
2. Take Concrete Action Steps
Manifestation is not magic. It’s mindset + movement.
My actions:
- Using the snowball method to pay off debt
- Paid off 3 credit cards
- Paid $2,870 toward orthodontic payments
- Currently at $3,503 toward my $10K debt goal
I also advocated for a promotion and raise at work. I haven’t seen it happen yet—but I know it’s in motion. Faith + Action.
3. Share Your Journey
When you share your goals—whether in a blog, with a friend, or in a financial support group—you gain:
- Accountability
- Encouragement
- Resources
- Momentum
This blog is my space to share the journey, and it’s opened doors I didn’t know existed.
4. Detach from the “How”
One of the hardest mindset shifts? Releasing control over the exact path.
I may not hit my $10K debt reduction exactly how I planned—but if I include taxes, medical bills, and other surprise payments we’ve knocked out? We’re actually a lot closer than I think.
Be open to receiving abundance—even if it looks different than you expected.
5. Lead with Gratitude
We must remember to do all of this with a grateful mindset. Gratitude is truly the greatest manifesting tool. When we are thankful for what we have and choose not to focus on what we lack, big shifts happen.
It sounds counterintuitive, but try being grateful for paying your bills. I know—it feels strange. But take a moment to imagine the stress of not being able to pay your bills. I’ve been there—it’s scary, heavy, and defeating. So now, I practice gratitude each time I pay a bill. I say, “I’m thankful I have the money to cover this. I am blessed.”
That shift in perspective rewires your mind—and abundance flows from there.
Final Thoughts: Small Shifts Create Big Change
You can change your financial story by:
- Tracking both spending and saving
- Celebrating progress, not perfection
- Learning, adjusting, and being open to new strategies
- Trusting that abundance is already around you
