Hello my dear Hive friends!
I'm glad you're all still here to join me in the Manifestation series, and you could see it as a journey for all of us. I am sure practicing what I preach, most of the time that is. So I hope that you are all joining in and practicing the different subjects I've touched on in my previous Manifestation posts.
I have a lot more coming because somehow they just flow into my mind as I go, so I see this as an encouragement to keep going.

This time, I'd like to keep things simple.
As moving day is coming closer for me at the moment, I am practicing these myself because I am, what I'd call, "in between funds".
I don't have a set income at the moment, and even though I know it will be fine, it also makes me nervous sometimes. Especially with a high expense coming up, like moving house! One month rent and one month deposit isn't for the faint of heart.
I know I will be fine once July comes around the corner but right now I have to work a few miracles to find the money for the 20th of June.

So in this chapter of my manifestation series, I'd like to tell you about 2 little tricks I've learned that work like magic, when it comes to acquiring money from sources you wouldn't expect it from.

Let's get to it!

The Money in the Pocket Trick

OK, so we've probably all been there. Bills are paid, money is tight, and then some home appliance breaks down, or the car needs to go to the repair shop.
You don't have the money right now to pay for it. Next month you'll be fine but you need that car fixed now! Not next month.

Now, the currency should be adjusted to the country you're in but for now I'll use the US Dollar. Unfortunately, I haven't found a way to use crypto with this but never say never! It may just work with a written note, although I've never tried it.

So what you do is, you take a $20 Dollar note, and keep it in your pocket, or wallet.
Don't spend it. Of course, you can adjust this to more or less than 20 if you like, but in my experience, this is a good number to start.

Now, you go window shopping. This can be done while you're doing other things, like grocery shopping or whatever, it doesn't have to be a thing you actually go out for.
While you're window shopping, notice all the things you could buy with that 20 dollar bill, and say to yourself: I can buy this, or that, and I can buy this with it.
Don't say it out loud because, well, you don't need to be looked at funny...
Say it in your mind. And feel how you'd feel if you were to buy those things.
Do this every time you feel the need for it.

It may sound crazy but for me it has worked Every - Single -Time!

I'd get some unexpected money from a source I didn't know I had, or an offer to do a short job for someone, or someone would pay me back money I'd forgotten about.
It doesn't matter where the money comes from, all that matters is that it works.

Once you see this happening, you could turn it up a notch with 40 dollar, or more.
And you'll see that it will keep coming in larger amounts.

Try it! You have nothing to lose by trying, right?

And let me know about your experiences!

The 10% Charity Rule

This one may sound simple but it's really not.
It takes a bit of counting and calculating but it works wonders.

It only takes one thing: Be generous!

OK, here we go:
Give 10% of your income away...
OK, some people might think: OH, HELL NO!
And I understand. I was very sceptical about this one but it works.
I've also been in situations where 10% of my income was quite a bit of money, and I really needed all of it.

Now that I've moved to Mexico, it's much easier to do because there are just so many ways to hand 10% of your money over to others.

Just, if you decide to try it, make sure you give from the heart. Don't just sprinkle money around without any emotion. Don't give to charity if you don't believe in that charity. It won't work.

What I do is, for example, when we need to get a taxi home from town, and the taxi driver didn't try to extort us (there are many good ones, most are honest), I will tip him to just below the point of what others would sometimes try to charge.
So, in our case, a taxi from town back home shouldn't be more than 50 pesos during the day, on a weekday. The extortion taxis will try to charge us 120 or even 150 pesos.
So when the driver is an honest one, I'll give him 90, or 100 even sometimes.
For me it's nothing. For him it might make the difference between sleeping an hour during his break, or working 12 hours a day...
I give purely from the heart, because I want to help, even if it's just little bits.

I do the same with street vendors. Sometimes there are young women, often with babies on their backs, selling bracelets etc. I will always try to buy from them when I see them, at least once a month. And when I do, I give them what they ask, without trying to haggle. Or more.
Sometimes I'll even let them keep the items, and just give them the money.
I hear different opinions about this from people I know, some saying that 'you can't give money to everyone, and they're making a good living...'
This may be true. But I try to help wherever I can. And maybe they are making a good living...Although I couldn't imagine that someone would roam the streets all day, at 30 degrees Celsius, to try to make a living if their income is so amazing.
I try not to judge people. And these people are working hard, so I believe they should be respected and rewarded.

As you can see, for me it's quite easy to give away 10% of my income.
Yeah, if your income is 2k USD, it's easy to work out. Of course, once your income goes to 5 or even 6 figures, it'll be a bit harder but that's for everyone to decide how they do this.

All I can say is: It works!

We've come to the end of this part of my manifestation series. I thought in these uncertain crypto times, these little tricks are good to know, so you can use them whenever there's the need for it.
