Adapt – Your Life Depends on It

Julie Murphy • October 24, 2017

I am reminded time and time again that it is critical that no matter what is happening in our lives, we need to adapt. None of us are given our life’s roadmap to follow. Life can be messy, confusing, and not what you expected. See, that’s the whole challenge. We expect. We attach ourselves to outcomes that aren’t necessarily in our best interest, or on our soul’s path.

I hear aand read things that tell us to:

Do what’s most expansive.
Get in the flow of your life.
Detach from outcomes.

I’ve always felt these things feel so esoteric. What do they really mean? Adapting is what pulls it all together for me. When our emotions are negative, that means it’s not expansive, something is not in alignment with our soul’s path. I tell my kids all the time, it takes 17 seconds to shift our emotions. Take the 17 seconds to adapt to the situation at hand and become the observer of the junk going on in that moment in time. When you become the observer, you are looking at life from your higher self, your soul. If you don’t adapt, then you’re not in the flow of your life. When you’re not in the flow of your life, life becomes challenging and this is where many of us choose to stay suffering. Suffering becomes a lifestyle for many. The only guarantee in life is change. Adapt to the change that is always happening, become a master at it. Think of it like a dance. You’re just twisting and turning. You can choose for it to be graceful or keep falling flat on your face, it’s your choice. Don’t resist, flow. Adapt to what is, as opposed to forcing yourself to suffer when you thought it was going to be some other outcome. In a book my kids like to read there is a line in there that says, “You get what you get and you don’t get upset.” It’s become of good phrase in our house.

Adapt. Adapt. Adapt.

Adapting isn’t always easy and it takes volumes of courage. When you adapt, you’re following your inner guidance system regardless of what constraints the outer world has put on you. When you adapt to life, remember there is no need to negotiate yourself away. Rely on your inner knowing. Your inner knowing is like a muscle, give it time to build strength, you deserve it. When you approach life from your inner knowing, it’s about living life being your authentic, true, real self in every way shape and form.

Find the courage.

Love yourself enough to adapt to the changes that are on the cusp of your life. Some will be easy, some will be hard. Trust that it’s the next right thing for you and your life. When you do, you will slip into the present moment and into the flow of your life that God, or the Universe, has intended for you. You will never regret it.

What does all of this have to do with money?

Money is just the result of what you’re putting out in the world. Money is energy. Money is flowing energy. If you’re not in the flow of your life, you cut off the flow of money. If you put up with a boss that isn’t in alignment with you, you cut off money to you. If you put up with a spouse that drags you down like a lead balloon, you cut off money coming to you. If you let your kids keep tapping your credit cards or you bail them out all the time, you lose money, like a leaky container that never gets plugged. In so many cases, it’s so subtle, but it’s true. Ask yourself, how is your cash flowing? What or who do you need to release in your life to open up your cash flow?

Intention. Intention. Intention.

Set the intentions that you have for your life and your money. Come from an empowered place. Choose how you want your cash to flow in and out of your life. Don’t become victim to debt and banks. Don’t choose to be victim of any decision any politician decides. Don’t allow a spouse to tell you how it’s going to be. Choose your life. Choose to set intentions on your personal life, family life, work life and financial life. Life is really about choices. Choose wisely. Choose with setting your personal intentions!!!

In the end, what is important is that we adapt to life so that we don’t create dis-ease in our bodies. We either work things out or we act them out and we do so through our money or our health. Love yourself enough to adapt and find the courage to change your life flow now, or, as I’ve seen hundreds of time, disease will develop in your body. We don’t need to call in a health or money crisis to create the change we are being called to in our lives.

Much love to you and yours….. Julie

How to End the Year Like the Wealthy Do

By Julie Murphy • December 10, 2025

Reset Your Money Energy for 2026 Every December, we all feel that pull, the desire to “be better with money next year.” But here’s the secret I’ve seen again and again after nearly three decades of walking alongside people from all walks of life: Financially wealthy people don’t just plan their next year — they energetically complete the one they’re leaving. They close loops. They clear emotional residue. They realign their energy field before they set a single goal. And you can absolutely do the same. As I share in The Emotion Behind Money , wealth is never created by logic alone. It comes from managing the emotions behind your money and understanding that money itself is energy. And in Awaken Your Wealth , I remind readers that energetic shifts begin when you consciously picture yourself stepping into a new reality, while compassionately acknowledging the one you’re standing in now. So let’s walk through the simple year-end process I teach my clients — one that spiritually, emotionally, and financially resets your money field for a powerful 2026. 1. Review Your 2025 Wins & Losses With Compassion Before you step into the new year, look back with the most loving, nonjudgmental eyes possible. I call it neutral observation . Wealthy people don’t spiral into shame when something didn’t go perfectly. They get curious. Ask yourself: Where did I expand financially this year? Where did I contract emotionally or economically? What choices were truly aligned with my values? Which ones came from fear, scarcity, or old patterns? In Awaken Your Wealth , the “Accepting Reality and Awakening” step of PACT teaches that awareness without judgment is how we break old money patterns for good. So breathe. Notice. Write it down. No shame. No spiral. Just truth. 2. Forgive Any Money Mistakes Here’s a truth most people never consider: Every financial mistake carries emotional weight and emotional weight blocks money flow. From my work in The 4 Spiritual Laws of Money , we know that your heart’s energy is more powerful than your brain’s logic, and intention is what redirects energy back into alignment. Forgiveness, of yourself, your past self, or others involved, releases stagnant money energy. Try this: Write down any money decisions from 2025 that still feel heavy. Place your hand on your heart. Say: "I forgive the version of me who made this choice. She/he did the best they could with what they knew at the time.” Forgiveness isn’t about letting mistakes slide. It’s about resetting your emotional money field so you can co-create something new. 3. Create an Energetic Closing Ceremony for the Year This is where wealthy people truly separate themselves; they honor the transition. You can create your own year-end ceremony using whatever resonates from your spiritual toolkit. Here are a few ideas inspired by the intention-setting and clearing practices throughout my work: Light a candle Symbolize releasing the old year and calling in the new. Write a “completion list” Include everything you’re ready to release: debts you’re no longer carrying shame over, relationships you’re energetically cutting cords from, patterns you’re finished reenacting. Burn or bury the list This physical act tells the Universe: “I’m done living from this version of myself.” In The Emotion Behind Money , we explore how inherited beliefs and emotional patterns repeat until they are consciously released. This ceremony is your line in the sand. End with intention Close with one powerful intention for 2026, aligned from your heart: “I choose a new flow of abundance.” “I trust that money comes to me with ease.” “I allow myself to receive the wealth I’ve been working toward.” As The 4 Spiritual Laws of Money reminds us: “The Universe responds to action.” Your ceremony is your spiritual action. Ready to Step Into 2026 Aligned, Clear & Empowered? If you’re craving deeper support with your financial reset, join me for my Emotions Behind Money Workshop in January. If you’ve been feeling the nudge to recalibrate your relationship with money, this is your moment. Let’s make 2026 the year your inner wealth and your financial reality finally match. You deserve abundance and you’re closer than you think. With love, alignment & a whole lot of possibility, Julie ✨
