How to Take Your Manifestations to the Next Level

In today's fast-paced world, financial stress has become an all-too-common issue. The weight of financial responsibilities can take a toll on our overall well-being, leaving many of us searching for a way to find financial peace.

Financial stress is a prevalent issue, affecting people from all walks of life. It's not limited to any specific age group, gender, or economic status. Whether you're struggling to make ends meet or striving for financial security, the stress surrounding money can be overwhelming. The constant worry about paying bills, saving for the future, and managing expenses can lead to sleepless nights and a diminished quality of life.

So, how do we break free from this cycle of financial stress? The answer lies in aligning our financial decisions with our heart and soul, making conscious choices, and taking action in a way that's both empowering and sustainable.

The Myth of "Once I Have Enough Money..."

One common myth that perpetuates financial stress is the belief that once we accumulate a substantial amount of money, we'll finally be able to follow our heart and soul. The narrative often goes like this: "Once I have enough money, I'll pursue my passions and live life to the fullest." However, this myth is often a recipe for disappointment.

The truth is, many individuals delay following their passions until retirement, only to discover that it comes at a significant cost to their health and well-being. The correlation between job loss and subsequent health issues is a compelling argument for reevaluating the myth of financial fulfillment post-retirement.

While men often grapple with the burden of providing for their families, women experience financial stress in a different way. Women are more likely to prioritize the needs of others over their own, often to their own detriment. This perpetuates the myth that they must wait until they have enough money to follow their passions and purpose.

It's crucial to debunk this myth. Financial well-being is not about doing for others at the expense of oneself; it's about striking a balance between self-care and caring for others. Men and women alike need to recognize that they deserve to pursue their dreams and passions, regardless of their financial circumstances.

Opening the Dialogue About Money

The journey to financial peace begins with open and honest communication about our financial struggles, fears, and aspirations. Far too often, money remains a taboo subject, clouded in shame, blame, guilt, and judgment. It's time to break free from these constraints and create a supportive community where we can openly discuss our financial concerns.

We encourage you to share your experiences and questions with us in the comments section. By doing so, you not only help yourself but also contribute to a shared dialogue that can heal others facing similar financial challenges. It takes courage to open up about money, but it's a crucial step towards finding solutions and opportunities for growth.

Bridging the Gap Between Dreams and Reality

If you find yourself in a career that once brought you joy but now feels uninspiring, you're not alone. The dilemma of feeling drawn to something new while maintaining your current income is a common struggle. So, how do you bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be?

Here are three practical steps that can help you make that transition:

1. Embrace Letting Go

One of the most critical steps in achieving financial peace is to let go of things that no longer serve you. Whether it's expenses, relationships, or dreams that no longer align with your heart and soul, it's essential to assess what needs to be released. Sometimes, it's financial obligations, like downsizing your home or relocating to a more affordable place. Other times, it may involve letting go of relationships that drain your resources.

In some cases, the dream you once held may need to be released to make room for a new, more authentic one. By letting go, you create space for change. Remember, letting go is a crucial first step towards reducing financial stress.

2. Step into Empowerment

It's easy to feel like a victim of circumstances when financial stress takes hold. However, this perspective doesn't lead to a solution. Instead, it's time to step into empowerment. You are not at the mercy of external forces, and you have the power to make choices that align with your heart's desires. Tap into your inner strength, make conscious choices, and commit to them. This is your life, and it's time to reclaim control over your financial well-being.

3. Take Action with Intention

Setting intentions and releasing them into the universe is a common practice, but it's essential to remember that action is equally important. When opportunities present themselves, take action in alignment with your goals. When the right action aligns with your purpose, it will feel like a no-brainer, effortless and in perfect harmony with the present moment.

Remember that self-love and self-care are essential components of financial well-being. By implementing these steps, you can create a life that is not only financially sustainable but also genuinely fulfilling.

Achieving financial peace is about aligning your heart and soul with every financial decision. By embracing the three steps outlined in this blog post, you can reduce stress around money and create a life that is in tune with your authentic self. Let go of what no longer serves you, step into your empowerment, and take action with intention. Your financial well-being and overall happiness will thank you for it.

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 ✨
