Budgeting is like dieting, it does not work

Budgeting is like dieting, it simply does not work.

This is a profound thought.
Why have I not seen this before ?
Every time I've budgeted , counting every penny , I become tense. I worry . Joy disppears from my life or is clouded by the worry of not having enough.

When I really want something, I usually get it , but it takes a risk. I need to put my money where my mouth is. I need to enter into the flow of joyful spending. I don't mean excessive spending , just joyful guilt- free , shame free spending - like shame free, guilt free eating.

Yesterday I dipped into my savings and enrolled on a course, somethjng my inner voice has been urging me to do. I don't really know why this particular course will be good for me, I just know that it is something that I must do.

Budgeting encourages me believe in " not enough " and scarcity, when in fact I know that we live in an abundant universe. There's massses of proof that it is so. The founder of IKEA is one. Oprah another, Bill Gates.

Money is energy .
There is energy all around us.
I intend to tap into that flow of energy .
Watch this space.... this is going to work.



There's a story of a clever girl who does a good deed. The ruler offers her a reward and she asks only for one single grain of rice, doubled each day for 30 days. Through the surprising power of compounding, one grain grows into more than one billion grains that the ruler must deliver at the end of the month.

I'd like ONE krona , doubled each day for a month , please !

I inntend to harness this power.
Einstein knew this - the power of compound interestand he called it "the eighth wonder of the world.
