Money is a fantastic tool, but before you acquire,
have, and spend it you need to get clear on why you want it and what you plan
to do with it. I often ask myself what my money goals are, how to make more money, how to manage money, and what will I do with more money?
This has been the hardest thing for me, I know I want more money and
at times I think I know why I want it – bills, charity, new car, cute tops,
etc. Then I think, “Cute tops? This is why you want money?” I have cute tops
already, there has to be more to it than that. I sat down with my trusty
notebook and pen and wrote down all the reasons I want more money. This is what
I came up with:
1.Ability to pay my bills on time every
month.
2.Freedom to travel to far off places or
simply to California to give my friend Sara a hug!
3.Help my loved ones when they need an
extra hand.
4.Give more to the environmental & animal rights
organizations I love- Help our planet!
I took a deep breath after I wrote this list. I
was glad to realize that I don’t want more money simply for cute tops! I mean
cute tops are great, but there is so much more to living than looking/dressing
good. I have a mission, to help women & men who are ready to expand, while they learn to
like & love the amazing person they truly are. That’s what Emotional
Freedom Technique has done for me. I’d love it if it could do that for every
other person I meet too!
When you have money or you’re wanting money it can
be tricky figuring out how to get it and what to do when you’ve got it. There
are plenty of money guru’s out there that can help get you back on track,
saving more, and having more money. I’ve
been watching a whole lot of Marie Forleo vids lately, she has amazing tips on
what to do with your money.
I have also been reading Suze Orman’s book Woman & Money for the 3rd
time and listening to some of her CD’s. I have to tell you Suze scares
the crap out of me, but she makes so much sense. She’s extremely intense and
gets right to the point. There is also a great website for women DailyWorth.com.
You can sign up for free tips and their advice is a bit gentler than Suze’s.
The main thing is to get clear on your money
situation and your money goals. Once you have done that you will have some
clarity on what to do next.

I’d
love it if you’d share some tweets with me on Twitter.
I began writing FallHead Over EFT For Her several years ago. It all started when one of my dear
guy friends was having trouble with his love life. I gave him some tips that
really helped him out. I’ve seen so many of my male, friends, clients, and
co-workers struggle to find a wonderful woman that suits them. Sometimes they’re
lacking confidence, dating skills, or they’re simply not going to places they
have the potential of meeting her.
I thought if only they had a guide that would help them
navigate the dating sphere and better understand and interact with women. Thus
began the making, or I should say writing of Fall Head Over EFT For Her.
This book has transformed and turned into something unique and extremely valuable,
especially since integrating Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT).
EFT has changed the way I think, feel, and live. Since
starting my EFT coaching I’ve been able to help myself and others open up to love again.
Emotional Freedom Technique has added so much to my life, my profession, and this
book.
“A vision is not just a picture of what could be, it’s an
appeal to our better selves…to become something more.”
This quote always makes me stop for a moment. I get quiet
and listen to my breath. Only for a moment though, then I think, “Become something more…what is it I want to
become?” It’s more a question of what I want to accomplish and who I can help.
I’ve finally learned how to start helping and loving me. I want to pass that
on to others in any way I can. So I’ve been writing, tweeting, blogging,
youtubing, and writing some more. Earlier today I hit a wall, or at least
that’s how it felt. I was thinking, “What am I doing?” I work a part-time job,
substitute teach, and write…what am I doing?! Is any of what I’m saying
reaching anyone, is it accomplishing anything?
I often doubt myself, like so many others, I think what can
I possibly share or give to another? I got it late, late Friday night or I
guess Saturday morning around 2 am it hit me…Love! That’s what I can give to
others, through a hug, smile, an email, or a YouTube video. I’ve got something
to give. It’s not always easy to dole out, what if it’s not well received or even
seen at all? Well, I guess that’s a chance I’m willing to take…I’ve come this
far.
When I have these moments where I think it’s time to let it all
go. Stop writing, videoing and emailing I get a message. This past Saturday it
came in the form of a new subscriber to my YouTube channel and a request for another EFT script. I felt like God was
saying, “See, Anna, someone is listening. Don’t quit, you’ve got things to do.”
That I do, right now one of those things is sleeping, second thing finally getting
the cover for my book finished. I guess I have the answer to my question. What I am doing is creating and sending a
little love out to the world.
1st Look around and find the things in
your life that you really enjoy & be grateful for this! Practice an
attitude of gratitude and thankfulness. To live in a state of gratitude and
appreciation where you let what you enjoy fill your thoughts & surround
you. It’s all about happiness and joy. Don’t force yourself to like something,
find what you actually enjoy and focus on it all the time.
2nd Put yourself in the state of feeling
what you want already exists. Visualize what it is that you want like it’s
already happened. This completely shifts your energy. You’ll start to slowly
see what you want begin to manifest. EFT and visualization completely shifts your energy. You start to see what you want showing up more and more!
You can say the gratitude chant out loud while tapping the meridian points. The following video guides you through using EFT:
Just
For Today Gratitude Chant
Just for today I’m going to be grateful for what I
have.
I’m going to be grateful for myself.
I’m going to look for the beauty within me.
I’m going to look for the beauty around me.
I’m going to appreciate the amazing people in my
life.
I’m going to be positive and self-assured.
Just for today I’m going to love myself.
For today I am going to be calm and feel confident
no matter what happens.
It’s safe to do this.
Today is all I have.
I am grateful for today.
I am grateful for my amazing body.
I am grateful for love.
I am loved.
An Attitude of Gratitude
John Demartini is the “King of
Gratitude,” that’s what I like to call him. He is a world-renown motivational
speaker and owes much of his success to constant thankfulness. John encourages everyone to make lists of the things they’re grateful for. This
doesn’t have to be a major list.
When finding things to be grateful for
you will need to look at your life and see the things you enjoy. Learning to
live in a state of gratitude is when you let what you enjoy fill your thoughts
and surround you. It’s all about being happy. Don’t force yourself to
appreciate something, simply direct your focus to what you do like and truly
appreciate. This will amplify the love in your heart and attract more of what
you want into your life.
It’s imperative
that you put yourself in the state of feeling what you want already exists.
Visualize the things you want, get to a state where you feel their presence.
Act as if you already have it in your life. EFT and visualization will
completely shift your energy, you’ll start to see what you want showing up more
and more.

There is nothing
wrong with wanting more money, especially for what it can bring you and your
family. There is a difference between loving and blessing money than being in a
state of greed. I am not talking about
stock-piling money for the sake of having it, though truthfully I have no
issues with someone who wishes to do this either. Money is simply a tool. How
you use it is up to you. I look at money as a way to have more time with
family; create college funds for my future children; and charities for
endangered animals. Most of all I see money as a way to enhance my life and the
lives of those around me.
It’s very easy to get
caught up in negative thinking related to money. This is especially true for
women. Women are taught to be good little girls and we typically carry this
with us through adulthood. There is nothing wrong with wanting to be a good
person. Lots of good people have plenty of money. Lots of good people do not
struggle to pay their bills and can afford to take a vacation. It’s okay to
want more.
It’s okay if you want
more than what you currently have. To have more money does not mean you’re evil
or wrong. It doesn’t mean that you are greedy.Forgive yourself for associating money with greed and bad feelings. Once
you let go of your guilt related to money you automatically allow more money
into your life. It’s a thought which
creates a feeling. All of these thoughts and feelings lead to a lifetime of
choices and habits that can easily keep you stuck and poor. You no longer have
to be in this state.

You can say this
chant while lightly tapping your chest and sternum area (or all meridian points
I’ve mentioned). You can also do this while looking at yourself in the mirror.
Mirror work is quite powerful. Imagine what you could do if you combined mirror
work and EFT?
I choose to be aware. I no longer wish to go without enough money.
I am becoming aware
now. I am aware of my relationship with money.
I no longer wish to
struggle to pay for anything.
I choose to know how
much I am spending. I choose to balance what goes out and comes in.
I choose to only use
credit cards only when I have enough to pay them off each month.
I choose to start a
savings account and put at least $50 a month into it.
I choose to manage my
money well from now on.
I choose to pay off
my credit cards and student loans (or whatever you need to pay off).
I allow myself lattes
and new clothes (or whatever you like to spend money on) when I
have extra money to spend.
I choose to put most
of my extra money into savings and investments.
I bless the money
that goes out.
I bless the money
that comes in.
I am aware now. I
know how much money I have.
I am aware of love.
Love is all there is.
I choose to love the
money I have.
I choose to love the
money that is coming to me.
I love money.
Money loves me.
It is safe to love
me.
It is safe to love money.
I bless the money
that goes out.
I bless the money that comes in.
You can repeat this
chant whenever you need to shift your energy towards creating more money.

I recently received an email from David Morelli
about mojo. He was talking about how powerful mojo is. The first thing that popped into my head was Austin Powers and all his mojo talk! But it's not resereved strictly for Mr. Powers. Both men and women have
inner mojo, whether we utilize it or not is completely up to us. This
cultivation of our mojo, our energy and aliveness attracts people to us. You
can imagine how useful this is in business and relationships…any kind of
relationship! When we’re expressing our mojo and we’ve got confidence in what
we’re doing it shows.
David mentions in his mojo videos that fear is a
huge factor and can block our mojo from flowing. We often hold back because we’re
afraid of how we’ll be perceived. We’re also afraid to put ourselves out there
to get hurt again. We’ve all been hurt or rejected in one way or another and it's painful! Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is a wonderful tool to use in dealing
with fear and emotional blocks. For more information on EFT (also known as
tapping) check out my YouTube channel.
David pin points three things we need to ask
ourselves when we’re discovering our mojo. The first thing is, “What’s your
mojo?” He says that his is attitude;
he’s confident and self-assured in himself and what he does. Your mojo may come
across when you’re doing something your passionate about. Mine comes across
whenever I’m helping somone using EFT (tapping). David recommends
looking inside yourself and figuring out how and when your mojo appears.
The second question is, “What’s your message?”
David says we need to unlock our message so the mojo can flow. He has 3 simple
steps to take to help you do this. First ask yourself what message you’d regret
not sharing with the world if you died today. Second, ask yourself what your
unique skills and talents are and how do your talents help the world? Lastly,
you must put these things together and discover the purpose of it all, how can
you truly help others?
David’s third mojo question is, “How do you
communicate your message?” What mode will you use to communicate to the world…through
video, audio, or possibly live presentations?
Video is extremely powerful, it gives a more personal experience. It allows us
to have an online presence, reaching many people. Audio allows us to influence
and impact many people as well.So you
need to ask yourself which medium works best for you and increases the amount
of lives you touch.
David has an online event Tuesday June 4, 2013 starting at
5:30 PM (pacific time). If you’d like to be a part of it all and learn more
about mojo visit his site.
Be prepared, David talks very fast and has tons of energy!

A few weeks ago I listened to Katherine Woodward’s online event Calling in The One: How to Identify and Release Your Hidden Barriers to Love & Become Magnetic to Your Soulmate. Katherine discusses the blocks a great deal of us have regarding love and how it’s our beliefs about ourselves that keep us stuck and essentially co-creating the kind of relationships we don’t want. I started thinking a great deal about my core beliefs, not just related to love but all parts of my life. I began digging a bit deeper into my beliefs about money and my financial freedom. I often tell myself “I don’t have enough money” or “I don’t know how to make more money.” Some part of me believes these things at a core level.
Shining a spot light on these beliefs and thoughts is extremely powerful. It actually makes these beliefs lose some of their power. Have you ever been afraid to admit how you feel about a situation or a person? Then you allow yourself to say what you’re thinking/feeling aloud? It’s no longer that scary. The fear is strongest when you totally deny what you think, what you believe, and how you feel. There is a great deal of power in acceptance. By accepting, it doesn’t mean you have to stay where you are it actually allows you to harness your own power and make a positive energy shift. When I opened my eyes to my deep-down, soul-level beliefs I realized I can mold them into something brilliant. I can change them and so can you.
Once I realized how powerful all of this was I started working on several EFT scripts to help me with what I label “my abundance issues.” I am now aware of the things I’ve been doing to stay at a place where I only make just enough or less-than enough. None of us have to live an impoverished existence no matter what the circumstances may be. We all have this amazing ability to make dramatic shifts in our belief systems. By working with the universe, tapping, and visualizing in color anything is possible.
Some of you may not be familiar with EFT. EFT (tapping) stands for Emotional Freedom Technique. EFT is a type of psychological acupressure that allows you to work through any traumas, negativity, and any thoughts or feelings you may have. It was developed from Chinese medicine, specifically acupuncture but without the needles! You lightly tap on various meridian points throughout the body. Meridians are a complex web of little energy highways running throughout the body. When we have traumatic experiences sometimes energy gets blocked in certain parts of the meridians. With tapping you can help get this energy moving again. It’s a very powerful healing tool. I am so grateful for being introduced to it. Thank you Nick and Jessica Ortner!
I created a tapping script (what you say while doing EFT) that you can use for money/financial issues. I always suggest using your own words because it's more meaningful the more authentic it is, but it helps to have something to follow along with when you’re first getting started. You can tap along the various points I've listed, or what feels most comfortable to you.
Take two deep breaths. The script will be centered on a fairly common feeling people have towards money “I never have enough money.” Say this statement and rate it on a scale from 0 to 10, 0 being not true at all and 10 being very true. For more guidance you can follow along with me in the following video.
I Never Have Enough Money Script
Chest/Collarbone: Even though I never have enough money and this is discouraging and disappointing, I love and accept myself. Even though I feel like there is never enough money, that’s okay I love and respect myself. I forgive myself for feeling like there is never enough money. I love and accept myself whether I have enough money or not.
Sternum area: Even though I often see others who have lots of money and I wonder why I don’t, that's ok. I choose to accept myself & where I am.
Top of ribs: I am broke most of the time. This is not what I want!
Underarm: I want to have lots of money.
Top of head: I want to live the life that I want. I want to have plenty of cash!
Eyebrow: I think I have to break my back to have an abundance of money.
Side of eye: It’s not okay for me to have lots of money.
Under eye: It’s okay for other people but not for me.
Pause a moment, take a deep breath and see where your number is. Has is dropped? Gone up?
Collarbone/Chest: Even though I don’t have lots of money and I can’t be successful because it seems just out of my reach. I’m open to a new possibility. Even though I've always struggled financially, I choose to be open to new ways of dealing with money. Even though this seems impossible, I’m open to a new possibility right now.
Wrist: Even though is seems other people don’t struggle as much as I do & I wonder why...
Thumb: Maybe I don’t have to always struggle, maybe I could do what they do.
Index finger: Probably not
Middle finger: I’m smart, why not?
Ring finger: Probably not though
Pinky: Maybe I could
Top of the head: I’m still not sure I can have more money
Eyebrow: I’m not sure if I can have all the things I want.
Side of eye: Don’t you have to break your back to have everything you want?
Under eye: I know I do
Nose: At least I think I do. I have to struggle to have more money.
Chin: Maybe I don’t. Maybe I do.
Chest: I’m open to a new way.
Sternum: I’m ready to shift my thinking and embrace a new life...
Ribs: What if I could make money without having to constantly struggle?
Underarm: What if I could have lots of money?
Head: I’m open to this possibility now. The universe is abundant!
Karate chop: Even though I can’t make more money because I don’t know how, I don’t have a strategy. I choose to love and accept myself. Even though I’m not sure how I will make more money, I choose to remember that the universe is abundant. I choose to remember that the universe has tons of resources just for me! Even though I have no idea how this will work, I choose to trust God and the universe to show me how to do this.
Collarbone: Even though I don’t know how, I choose to focus on abundance and leave the rest up to God/universe.
Sternum: I don’t know how to make lots of money
Ribs: I don’t have a plan
Underarm: I don’t know how
Head: I don’t know how to do this
Eyebrow: Maybe I could learn
Side of eye: But I don’t know how
Under eye: I’m open to learning how to have lots of money
Nose: I choose to be shown how to have an abundance of money
Chin: I’m open to learning how to have lots of money
Chest: I choose to allow the universe to show me. I allow the universe to show me right now.
If I have any thoughts or feelings that pop up while tapping I will often write them down. This can be something for you to focus on during another EFT session. There is a great deal of power in tapping with another person, someone you feel safe with so don't feel you have to do this alone.
