I know this state of being.
I’ve been here before — too many times. That moment when financial pressure feels heavy on your chest, and your mind begins replaying the same survival loops. But this time, something inside me said: Enough.
The Shift
I’ve embarked on a journey to train my mind.
You might be wondering what that means.
Simply put: I am determined to change the results I’m getting in every area of my life. And for that to happen, I must give my brain new instructions — elevated commands.
Because the mind obeys the master. And I’m reclaiming my role as the master.
How It Works
Every time I give my brain a new command, I follow it up with aligned action.
I show it: this is what we think now — and this is what it looks like in practice. Then I repeat. And repeat. Until the new commands replace the old ones.
The Reality Check
Right now, we’ve just finished building our two-bedroom apartment unit. Amazing progress — but not complete yet. We still need to buy air conditioners and install kitchen cabinets.
And when I think about it… my stomach aches.
The deposit from our tenant will only partially cover the cost. My first instinct? Call my siblings. Ask for help. But I’ve done that before.
One of them already said: “You know my situation; I have something big in July.”
The other — I haven’t even asked. I already know the answer. And that’s when it hit me.
I’ve Been Here Before
Again.
And again.
And I don’t want to be here ever again.
That place where money feels tight.
Where you’re forced to choose between priorities.
Where stress, survival, and frustration become your baseline.
But here’s the thing — I’m not entertaining this energy anymore.
The facts are the facts.
Yes, we need money to complete the project.
But I’m a powerful, capable human being — and I can find or create solutions.
The Breakthrough
I must figure out ways to multiply money.
To earn while I sleep.
To train my mind to meet these moments not with fear, but with vision and power.
Because the truth is:
🗝️ Victory happens in the mind before the first sword is drawn.
🗝️ Every breakthrough, every success, every solution happens twice: first in the mind, then in reality.
If I keep accepting this pattern as just the way things are, I’ll keep reliving it.
And I’m not available for that anymore.
My Daily Practice for Mental Reprogramming
This isn’t just a concept. This is a commitment. And here’s how I practice it every single day:
🌞 In the Morning:
- I read something empowering.
- I remind myself of my goals and why I started.
- I journal with intention.
- I take 30–60 minutes to anchor my mindset before the day begins.
🌙 At Night:
- I wind down with reflection.
- I journal again — capturing lessons, gratitude, and affirmations.
- I reinforce the beliefs I want to build.
- I visualize the version of me I’m becoming.
This is how I rewire my brain.
This is how I speak new commands into my subconscious.
This is how I train my mind for abundance, freedom, and ease.
The Truth About Our Minds
Most of us are using the most powerful piece of technology we own — our minds — to repeat our past, instead of designing our future.
We unknowingly train it to work against us.
To stay stuck.
To stay safe.
To stay small. But not me. Not anymore.
The New Path
Me sitting here thinking that one of my siblings needs to fork out the money doesn’t help. Even if it solves this issue, the cycle remains. And I’m not here to live in cycles.
I’m here to live in elevation.
I’m training my mind for success.
Because I refuse to meet the future with an old mindset.
Because I know that everything begins with thought.
And because I’ve decided — this is the last time I’ll ever be in this situation.
✨ Final Words
I’m not here to survive.
I’m here to thrive, to lead, to create, to live abundantly.
And it all begins in the mind.
The most powerful investment I’ll ever make is in my thinking.
Because once that shifts — everything else does too.
