Life isn’t about finding yourself. It’s about creating yourself.
Welllll, I have been creating new things to share.
I have a brand-new Instagram account called MoneyWhisperingWithEllenYale. (It’s the same name as my podcast.) You don’t have to put all those capital letters in it, but I thought it would make it easier for you to read in this email.
I am mixing my photography with insights I love. They are not all photos I have taken, but it started out that way and I will continue to pepper them throughout.
I am finding more ways to marry the imagery that resonates with me and the inspiration that fuels me.
So, if you are on Instagram, follow me and you will get a new little thing to “Hmmm” about on a daily basis. Not in your inbox, but on Instagram.
Or it may be near-daily. I am trying to be more relaxed with myself when I am on vacation or have filled my plate too full that day. I am trying to be more present, less Instagram-Nazi.
Here is one to give you the idea…
When I am talking with my clients about money, at some point we end up talking about purpose.
What is my grand purpose in life?
Why am I here?
(Figuring out your purpose helps you figure out how it will be most joyful to create money and spend money.)
But figuring out your grand purpose can be overwhelming.
So, start by thin slicing.
What is my purpose today?
What has personal meaning,
is bigger than just me and
is future oriented?
What is my purpose today?
Then what is my purpose this week?
Then month, then year, etc.
Start thin.
What is your purpose today?
Just today.
If you are worried or concerned about money, think of money as a flock of sheep.
You are the shepherd of your money.
Feed your flock.
Keep track of where they are wandering.
If you care for them and nurture them, they may have baby lambs.
If they stumble, hire a vet to get them back on their feet.
A flock of sheep is alive and energetic and in constant change.
Money energy is similar.
Connect with your flock emotionally.
Money is the single most emotional thing that people deal with on a regular basis.
Choose carefully how you want to feel about your money.
If you nurture your money with loving, caretaking energy, you will nourish each other. The energy flows both ways.
