Reframing Your Financial Past

How to Take Your Manifestations to the Next Level

Financial regrets can cast a long shadow over our lives, tainting our present and dimming our hopes for the future. They can stem from past decisions, missed opportunities, or the weight of accumulated debt. These regrets can become a constant reminder of what we perceive as financial missteps, holding us back from creating the life we truly desire.


However, I want to offer you a refreshing perspective on transforming these regrets into catalysts for positive change. Today I want to share my own experiences with financial setbacks and provide valuable guidance on how to navigate the path towards financial freedom.


Embracing Reality: The Foundation for Transformation


The first step towards transforming financial regrets is to accept the reality we have created. This doesn't mean wallowing in guilt or self-pity; it means acknowledging our past actions and their consequences. It's about recognizing that we are where we are today, in part, due to the financial decisions we have made.


Acceptance doesn't imply resignation to our current situation. Instead, it's the foundation upon which we can build a better future. By accepting reality, we shed the illusion of control and open ourselves up to the possibilities that lie ahead. We acknowledge that we have the power to shape our financial destiny, starting with understanding our current position.


Learning from Mistakes: The Stepping Stones to Growth

Mistakes are inevitable parts of life, and financial mistakes are no exception. We all make them, from overspending to investing in ill-advised ventures. The key is not to avoid mistakes altogether but to learn from them and use them as stepping stones to growth.


I encourage you to embrace your mistakes, viewing them as opportunities for education. Each misstep can teach us valuable lessons about our financial habits, risk tolerance, and decision-making processes. By embracing mistakes, we cultivate resilience and adaptability, essential qualities for navigating the ever-changing financial landscape.

Opening to Abundance: Aligning with Our True Potential


A crucial aspect of financial transformation is opening ourselves up to receive. This involves shifting our mindset from scarcity to abundance, believing that we can attract financial prosperity into our lives. It's about cultivating gratitude for what we already have and believing that there is enough to go around.


When we open ourselves to receive, we create a receptive energy field that attracts opportunities and abundance. We also become more open to learning and implementing new financial strategies that can help us achieve our goals. This shift in mindset is essential for breaking free from the shackles of past regrets and embracing the possibilities of a brighter financial future.


Creating Your Desired Future: Taking Action and Cultivating Gratitude


With acceptance, a willingness to learn from mistakes, and an open mind to receive, we can begin to create the financial future we desire. This involves taking action, setting clear goals, and making informed decisions about our finances.


It is important to live in the present moment, aligning our cash flows with our future aspirations. By managing our finances with a focus on the present, we gradually move away from the burdens of the past and towards the financial freedom we seek. This mindful approach to financial management allows us to make conscious choices that align with our long-term goals, freeing us from the reactive patterns of the past.


Throughout this process, gratitude plays a vital role. By cultivating an attitude of thankfulness for what we have, we attract more abundance into our lives. Gratitude shifts our focus from lack to abundance, from dissatisfaction to contentment, and from fear to hope. This shift in perspective is not just about feeling good; it's about creating a positive vibrational energy that attracts prosperity and aligns us with our true potential.


Financial Transformation: A Journey of Empowerment


Transforming financial regrets is not a quick fix or a one-size-fits-all solution. It's a journey of self-awareness, acceptance, learning, and action. It requires us to confront our past, learn from our mistakes, and open ourselves up to new possibilities.


By embracing these shifts, we can embark on a journey of financial transformation, leaving behind the regrets of the past and creating a future of abundance, freedom, and fulfillment. Remember, it's never too late to start creating the financial life you desire. Take that first step today, and embark on a journey toward financial empowerment and a life filled with prosperity and joy.

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 ✨
