a) Instead of focusing narrowly on the wealth reflected in your bank accounts, spend a brief amount of time allowing the feeling of gratitude. Like, how much do you already have? ... and let that fill you with delicious, positive energy. After all, what type of price tag could you put on your health? On your family? On the use of your limbs? What monetary compensation would be adequate to replace the loss of your sight or your ability to read and write? How fortunate are you that you do not have to pay for the most essential things in life - the oxygen, the sunlight and the fellowship of other human beings.
b) Does this represent a loss or a gain? Instead of feeling that with each check your net worth decreases, focus upon the fact that you might have already enjoyed the benefits of whatever you are now paying for. It represents investment so you'll be able to earn more real income as a result. Pause to reflect upon and be grateful for whatever benefits have or will come to you from your use of the product or service for which you are paying. How thankful were you today day for the electricity and gas and cable and phone and cellphone service. I mean...I'm not chopping wood...are you? Amazing what we have already.
c) Appreciation for the whole system:... Think about how fortunate you are to have been given the product or service prior to having to pay for it. Isn't it wonderful that this new opportunity or company or product exists, in the free world, so that you can so easily have and use the product or service. How fortunate you are to live in a society that has developed such a fabulous system that keeps money in constant circulation..... and allows us opportunity.....
