Finish this sentence with the first words that come into your mind:
I owe money because ___________.
Did you find out anything new about yourself when you finished that sentence? If you did ... that's great! Now, take some time to make up a new sentence - feel free to totally change it. Can you rewrite the sentence in a more positive way, and still make it sound and feel true for you?
Remember, if you rewrite the sentence to be how you "wish" it was, or how you think it "should" be, or even how you "want" it to be, it will not have nearly the effectiveness as it will if you can rewrite it in such a way that you KNOW the truth of it.
Once you have your alternative firmly fixed in your mind, you'll begin to notice that you have a whole new relationship with your money and maybe your creditors too.
As always, we all love to see what other people write - so log on and share. Something you say might be really helpful to those of us who read it.

I owe money because aliens came and forced me to the mall, where I spent hours walking around in a trance and blindly handing my credit cards to sinister shopkeepers who were all firmly entrenched in the conspiracy with the extra-terrestrials. What? Those weren't aliens? Why yes, they do look alot like my children! How bizarre, that little alien looks alot like my 13 year old daughter. Hmmm. I may need to re-think my answer. I'll get back to you.
Karla, those same aliens come to my house and make me charge things online!!! That's why I owe money!
Seriously, though, I owe money because it's WAY easier to charge items than it is to pay for them later. I always have such GOOD intentions when I charge things! But then something always seems to happen.....
Yep. I know what you mean Cindy. I'm switching to the envelope method since I just cut up all my credit cards. I'm not sure how this will work, though, since I don't have anything to put in the envelopes yet! Ha Ha Ha! I think I will miss my gas card the most. I'ts about $250-#300 monthly to get to work and back and it's VERY convenient to pay at the pump! "I OWE MONEY BECAUSE I'M KINDA LAZY, CARDS ARE EASY AND I JUST NEED TO BE RE-TRAINED?"
Ha ha... Karla that was hilarious!!
I owe money because I have no self control... because I want what I want when I want it which is usually right now.
I owe money because I had an inflated opinion of my ability to pay it back and somehow it got out of control ... like THE BLOB or SON OF BLOB ... (remember those old movies?) it just got out of control.. those pesky aliens!!
