How to Take Your Manifestations to the Next Level

Today, let's dive into the exciting journey of embracing your authentic self and living a life that aligns with your true passions and desires. It's time to break free from the shackles of societal expectations and focus on what truly brings you joy and fulfillment.

You know what's interesting? We all have this incredible emotional and spirit-driven infrastructure within us that guides us through life. It's what makes us unique and special—the authentic self. But you know what? Many of us tend to overlook this foundation and instead focus on the almighty dollar. We let money and material possessions dictate our decisions and shape our lives. But let me tell you a secret: when we tap into the strength and purpose of our authentic self, incredible things start happening.

I get it, though. It can be challenging to shift our mindset away from the monetary aspect of life. We've been conditioned to believe that success is measured by our bank accounts. But here's the truth: when we know who we are at our core and what we want out of life, and then take practical action to pursue those dreams, the money will follow. It's a shift in mindset and behavior that can truly change our reality.

Now, let's address those feelings of being stuck and filled with doubt. Trust me, you're not alone in this journey. Many of us have experienced setbacks and disappointments that have made us question ourselves and our abilities. It's natural to feel trapped or cynical about the future. But here's the thing: you have the power to break free from this cycle. The key is reconnecting with your authentic self and rediscovering what truly makes you happy.

Think back to your childhood. Remember those moments when you were completely absorbed in doing something you loved? When time seemed to fly by because you were following your inner passion? Those moments are clear signs that you were embracing your unique abilities and talents. But sometimes, as we grow older, we lose touch with those passions and settle for a life that doesn't align with who we truly are.

But here's the good news: you can change that. Take a moment to reflect on what activities excited you as a child. What came naturally to you? Then bring yourself into the present and consider what brings you joy and fulfillment now. If money were no object, what would you do every day? What are you truly great at, and what sets you apart from everyone else?

Now, let's celebrate your unique abilities and talents. Make a long list of all the things you're good at and passionate about. Don't hold back or be modest—give yourself permission to acknowledge your greatness. Maybe you have a knack for understanding your kids like no one else or an analytical mind that can assess situations with lightning speed. Perhaps you excel at being present in the moment or have a talent for listening and connecting with others. Whatever it is, write it down and embrace it.

Take a good look at your list. You might discover new aspects of yourself that you hadn't fully realized before. This is the first step towards aligning your life with your authentic self, and it's incredibly exciting. The journey has just begun, and there's so much more to explore.

Now, let's talk about the relationship between money and personal power. We've all heard stories of people who work their entire lives to secure their financial future, only to face unforeseen hardships or health issues just as they retire. It's a cautionary tale reminding us not to let money define our lives.

I'll share a personal story with you. My father, who worked as an electrician, dedicated his life to supporting our family. But when the system changed and he faced fierce competition from younger workers, his life took an unexpected turn. The stress and upheaval led to devastating consequences, and he suffered two strokes. It was a wake-up call for our family, a reminder that life's meaning should not be solely defined by external factors such as work and money.

Let's break free from this trap. It's time to continuously redefine our lives and find purpose in each stage. When we align with our authentic selves, we insulate ourselves from the hardships that can wreak havoc on our mental, emotional, and physical well-being. We nurture our relationships and create a life driven by joy, passion, and fulfillment.

So, my friends, let's take the first step toward living authentically. Embrace your unique abilities, rediscover your passions, and let them guide you on this remarkable journey. Together, we can create lives that are truly in alignment with who we are at our core.

Stay tuned for more insights and practical tips on tapping into your authentic self. The adventure is just beginning, and I can't wait to see where it takes us. Remember, you have the power to redefine your life and live authentically—let's make it happen!

I hope this glimpse into the intertwined world of emotions and money has sparked your curiosity and provided you with valuable insights. However, remember that this is just the tip of the iceberg. In my book, "The Emotions Behind Money: Nurturing Financial Well-Being," I delve even deeper into these topics, offering a comprehensive exploration of the emotions that influence our relationship with money and practical strategies to transform our financial lives.

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 ✨
