Chapter 1: Understanding Your Financial Mindset

Many individuals find that their "internal wallet" is limited in capacity. Is there a way to expand it?

Absolutely! However, it requires dedication and effort. Numerous people have explored the concepts presented in "Think and Grow Rich," yet the outcomes vary significantly. Why do some benefit from a positive mindset toward financial prosperity while others do not?

The answer lies in individual development levels. For some, financial obstacles are primarily logical, enabling positive thinking to yield results. Unfortunately, financial barriers often exist beyond mere logical reasoning. They can manifest in several areas:

• Physical sensations
• Emotional states
• Logical thinking
• Intuitive insights

How can we overcome these barriers?

It's important to note that there's no one-size-fits-all solution for achieving wealth effortlessly. Reflect on the tale of Cinderella: she married a prince after enduring substantial hardships, including:

• Cleaning floors
• Scrubbing grimy pots
• Sewing clothes for her family
• Tending to the garden

Yet, she never lost hope.

Let’s adopt Cinderella’s approach! We can start by engaging in physical activities, beginning with something fundamental—our breath.

First, acknowledge that your internal wallet has a specific capacity. Write down the amount it currently holds on a piece of paper and set it aside.

Next, concentrate on your body. Engage in mindful breathing: inhale slowly through your nose for a count of 1–2–3–4, then exhale through your nose for the same count. Repeat this exercise twelve times.

Focus on your emotions. Once again, breathe consciously: inhale for 1–2–3–4, exhale for 1–2–3–4, and repeat twelve times.

Now, shift your attention to your thoughts. Follow the same breathing pattern: inhale for 1–2–3–4, exhale for 1–2–3–4, repeating twelve times.

Lastly, concentrate on your intuition. Breathe in for 1–2–3–4, breathe out for 1–2–3–4, and repeat this exercise twelve times.

Take a moment to assess how your body feels now. What emotions have surfaced? What thoughts are you experiencing? What insights does your intuition provide? How does your internal wallet's capacity appear at this point?
