How to Thrive in the Macro Economic Environment

With everything that’s going on in the macro economic environment in today’s world, it can be a challenging time.

Your fears and anxieties around money might have been heightened because the world is operating - on many levels, in the energy of scarcity.

What if I told you though that you can thrive financially, despite everything that is going on?

Whilst you can’t change what is happening, you can choose to change how you react to it.

Building Wealth From the Inside Out

You can choose to make different decisions. You see, this is why I’m big on building wealth from the inside out. The way I like to work with people; particularly around their money, is to help them make aligned financial decisions that enable them to thrive despite everything that is happening in the world - in their immediate environment and the world at large. To insulate themselves financially and build a safe foundation for them to be able to thrive no matter what is going on.

Perhaps the economy and rising inflation has highlighted to you that you don’t have that safe container? Maybe it’s bringing up all kinds of emotions for you. If so, now is an opportunity to spend some time with yourself and really tune in. I encourage you to enquire within; to ask why?

What has created those patterns around your finances - it could be overspending or earning your money doing something you really dislike and now feeling trapped because you don’t have the financial flexibility to do something you really want to do?

Where have you negotiated yourself away? Where have you left yourself and your heart on the sidelines?

Here’s the thing and possibly a hard truth; your money stuff can’t be blamed on the macro-economic environment.

Breaking Down Your Financial Life

Our financial lives can be broken down into 3 parts; our financial past, our financial present and our financial future. If you’re creating too much financial past and that is now more apparent than ever, get curious on why that is?

Inner happiness is often a core piece that’s missing. This is when we can turn to old patterns such as over-spending to try and fulfill a subconscious unmet emotional need.

This is why in my Julie Murphy work I’m so passionate about helping people set up their finances in a way that allows them, wherever they’re starting from and whatever their income, to allocate their finances into those 3 parts so they are free to live in the present moment and focus entirely on what they want to create.

Focus on What you Want to Create

Let me tell you; when you implement these types of strategies, are in flow and alignment, get truly relentless about what you want to create and start to build your wealth from the inside out, everything just shows up! It doesn’t matter what’s going on in the economy.

All it takes is a few fully conscious decisions on the right path. Decisions that are aligned to your highest self and what you want to create.

So if you’re experiencing fear and worry about the economy, it’s your job - and now more than ever, to get in the observer state of your unresolved patterns, because they will come up. Mark my words, they’ll show up in your money, your personal world and in your family life.

Something I often witness with clients is when they’re challenged to stand in their truth. Time and time again, they’ll be tested to stand in their truth! The challenges will keep appearing to guide them. And along the way, if they wind up with unresolved emotions such as sadness, anger, depression, anxiety - these are remnants of what is left over as they’re moving through this process.

Step into Empowerment & Stand in Your Truth

For you, it's about choosing to step into those challenges, to stand in your truth and to do so coming from an empowered place.

Let me now ask you; how are you ready to step into your life from an empowered place? How can you make decisions from that standpoint, that are all woven in your truths?

When it comes to your finances, now is the time to create full awareness of the flow of your money. What exactly is coming in and going out? Even the act of doing this takes you from being a victim of the macro-economic environment to being empowered. To feel aware of knowing what your finances look like and not participating in the energy of burying your head in the sand!

Next, it’s about making conscious and again - empowered decisions about where you want to make your adjustments. About where you choose to let go of some of your expenses or outgoings in favour of building your financial container and creating abundance. How you are going to allocate to your financial past, present and future.

Put Your Finances on Autopilot

Then, put it all on autopilot. Arrange to have your money deposited into your various buckets automatically so that you can focus on living in the present moment. There are too many distractions in the world that take us away from the present moment and what we want to create in our life. So make it easy for yourself and use this type of system to your advantage!

I talk about this process and how to tailor it on a much more detailed level in my books, courses, videos and of course, with my clients. I encourage you to take a look at all the resources I have, which will give you everything you need!

All you have to do to thrive is to firstly decide that you are not a victim to the macro economic environment. From today, start by making empowered, conscious choices. Ones that you choose from your current reality and from your heart. Yes, they might be hard but step into them. Don’t step away or bury your head in the sand!

Instead of consuming media that emphasizes the negative or talking that way yourself about the economy, redirect your focus entirely on what you want to create. Choose not to participate in the noise. You can be aware of what is going on without engaging in the energy of it.

Disrupt Your Old Patterns

When you’re making your decisions, whether these be financial or in other areas of your life, tune in to what makes you feel lighter? I’m big on using the power of energy work such as Rapid Transformation Therapy or Hypnosis to help shift past trauma, and this is something you could also look into as part of your own process.

If you’re creating your financial past over and over such as through your spending, make it so that it can’t happen. Leave the credit card at home or in the freezer! Only take out cash. Challenge yourself to hold cash instead of spending it. Disrupt those old pathways and make it a fun process! I have many tips on how to disrupt those old patterns on my YouTube channel.

Most of all, do all of this with compassion and without any shame, blame, guilt or judgement. Thriving is about accepting your current reality and then making aligned choices that pave the way for those big quantum leaps and that keep your nervous system in neutral. You don’t need to keep reliving your past and in those suffering patterns. Choose instead, to stand in your truth.

The time is now so make that intention to start today. Go after what you want to create and be truly relentless!

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 ✨
