Stop Manifesting the Problem While Trying to Create the Solution

Hey there, sovereign builder

This week's conversation with Pericles Rellas (25-year money mindset expert) completely rewired how I think about manifestation.

He dropped this truth bomb that stopped me in my tracks:

"Most people try to manifest the solution by including the problem."

Think about that. "I want to get out of debt." "I need to stop being broke." "I have to fix my business."

You're literally planting seeds of what you DON'T want while trying to grow what you do want.

This Week's Lesson: Your Financial Thermostat Is Running Your Life

Here's what Pericles taught me that I can't stop thinking about:

We all have a financial thermostat. Just like your home thermostat, it doesn't think—it just regulates:

• How much money you can earn

• How much money you can keep

• Your emotions around money

The wild part? His clients who started making MORE money had the SAME problems. Still stressed. Still behind. Still anxious.

Why? Because making more money doesn't reset your thermostat. You have to do that work first.

The 4-Step Reset Process

Step 1: Notice & Own Acknowledge your money story without giving it power. Mine? "Money is the root of all evil" from church + "Never have too much or you'll lose your family" from my mom watching TV.

Step 2: Release Out Loud Find privacy and literally say: "I release [belief] into the care of the universe. It is no longer welcome in my world." (Yes, I cried when I first said "I love money")

Step 3: Create New In that empty space, what comes up? For Pericles: "Money flows to me easily and abundantly every single day." Write it everywhere. Feel it in your heart.

Step 4: Look for Evidence Pick up that penny. It's the universe responding. Someone mentions an opportunity? That's abundance flowing. Acknowledge EVERYTHING.

The Truth That Changed Everything

Money isn't good or evil, it’s just energy. And it's an amplifier.

If you're generous, money amplifies that. If you're fearful, money amplifies that. If you're controlling, money amplifies that.

And here's the kicker: Money will NOT make you happy, secure, or fulfilled.

Pericles has worked with billionaires who are miserable, stressed, and never have "enough."

The money didn't fail them. They expected it to provide what only they could give themselves.

My Personal Breakthrough

Last year I made close to $500K. I own 10 acres mortgage-free. And I still worried about "enough."

Standing in my field picking green beans with my kids this week, I realized: I am already abundantly blessed. Hot showers when 50% of the world doesn't have them. Healthy children. A home. Food.

When is it enough? When have you arrived?

The answer: Right now. In this moment. You have enough.

P.S. – When my 5-year-old says she’s bored, I say "Thank God. Boredom is a blessing. You're not worried about your next meal or where you'll sleep. I've done my job." Then I send her to go clean her room. That's manifestation in practice — gratitude for what is, while still taking action.
