You get what you give: attracting wealth

Julie Murphy • February 9, 2011

Last week, I talked about getting “unstuck”. To make that leap from a seven to a ten, you have to go out of your comfort zone and try new things. Once you get moving on the path to a better you,  you’ll notice that the people around you will change as well. So this week, I wanted to talk about attraction; more specifically, attracting wealth.

Attracting wealth

I believe that the only way you’ll get the life you want is if you create it. And creating a better life starts with where you are right now. Let’s say you’re unhappy in your work life. You get up every day and go to an unfulfilling job that you dislike. You have little or no respect for your boss. You hate Mondays, and you’re always doing the weekend countdown. What you’re basically doing is going through the motions in Monday through Friday so you can live your life Saturday and Sunday. But guess what? Your unhappiness at work seeps over into other aspects of your life; you spend your personal life complaining about your job and your financial life being a slave to it. That negativity you’re putting out there is attracting exactly that. Like I said last week, you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. Ever notice how much your friends complain about their jobs? If you want to attract wealth, your allure needs to be one of a person deserving of it.

Set your intention, and work towards it

Of course it’s about reaching your ultimate goal, but what’s more important right now is that you’re working towards it. There’s a lot to be said about someone who sets an intention to better themselves and then actually does it. And those are the people who attract the most wealth. When you actually enjoy your job, you make more money. And if you’re a confident and happy person, you gravitate towards other people like yourself. If you want to attract more wealth, you need to take inventory of where you’re at right now. Is your work life unfulfilling? Is your personal life causing you great stress? Has your financial life suffered as a result of your unhappy family life? Whatever it is that you come up with, set the intention to make a change. Once you start on your path to a better you, like-minded people will be attracted to you and doors to better opportunities will fly open.

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 ✨
