Visualization Combined with Gratitude

Today at 1:39 AM July 13, 2024 I discovered this Instagram clip from @isha_phd on the Diary of the CEO podcast. What Dr. Aisha Gamawa mentions is very powerful and is providing me a clearer way to visualize my future self.

"Be very clear what it is you want. So you’ve mentioned a few things. Spend five minutes sitting down and visualizing those things being true, and then give gratitude for that. That would be my first step." 

Give gratitude for?

'Those things being true. Just five minutes. I’m a great partner. I’m not messy. My podcast is super successful. 

Like see it, feel it in your body. Taste it in your mouth. Hear it in your ears. Completely immerse yourself in that, for five minutes, longer if you can. And then just be so grateful for all of that. 

Essentially what you are doing is moving your brain from a fear state to a trusted state, and that is the gateway to making these changes."

Reminder how far I have come on my goal of financial freedom

My Chequing Account

This is a snapshot of the lowest amount of money I had in my chequing account before I began this blog on September 6, 2023. It was $1.98. I have been fortunate enough to have paid all my student loans with the help of family. It was tough selling parts of my portfolio to be able to do so but I am glad I did. The peace of mind of not having to worry about payments towards student loans was immense.

This is my current balance today, July 12. 2024. I have earned significantly more however I have been adding 20% of my income each bi-weekly pay cheque into my tax free savings account.

The total amount with my savings and cash accounts amount to roughly $30,000. It has been over 10 years since I have had this amount of money.
