THE QUALITARIAN
Book Excerpt Chapter 21: Money Mindset
Have you ever won a prize and felt that surge of adrenalin? This is your biochemical response to a money surprise. Did you know that you can bring more money into your life by recreating this sensation? Since we attract what we are versus what we want, we simply need to “be” those things.

What would you do with your $500? Maybe you would go shopping. Perhaps you would treat yourself to a spa day. Maybe you go to a fancy restaurant.
The point of this exercise is to get into the feeling of unexpected, extra money. This playful moment in your mind will start manifesting more money!
Here’s an indicator of how you’re feeling about money. What are your thoughts when you’re checking your checking account balance? How are you
