How do you feel rich,

abundant, always feel like there's infinite resources when you actually don't have that in your bank account right now?

We're going to be diving into that in today's episode of Dear Jamie,

where we're going to be talking about all of the ways to start feeling a little bit more abundant,

especially around paying bills.

And I'm even going to be giving you a little secret sauce

that I only give to my clients to really allow for affirmations to hit just a bit different.

So let's go babies.

Dear Jamie, how can I believe that money is an infinite supply when the bank account has a limit?

How do I tell the nervous system everything is fine when I've reached the limit and there are bills to pay?

I love this question so much.

And I'm going to first start with the most important reframe,

which is instead of thinking that there's just infinite money available,

I want you to remember that you have infinite ways

that you can generate abundance and that everything is always available to you

and maybe not in the ways that we kind of generally expect them to be.

The one thing

that I want you to kind of understand from like maybe more of like a neuroscience perspective is the fact

that your brain, the prefrontal cortex,

is kind of responsible for more of like the immediate decision making

and the process of like figuring out how things work, right?

That part of the mind is trying to conceptualize something that can kind of sometimes be partially strategic and also metaphysical.

And when you think about that part of the brain trying to figure out the how,

it needs something smaller to grasp onto if it's creating this cognitive dissonance,

which is essentially right now you have this external experience of I'm paying my bills,

There's a limit to what I have currently in the 3D in this bank account.

However, it's trying to conceptualize this thing of like,

what do you mean there's infinite money everywhere, but it's not here?

And how do I get it?

And immediately the second, and this is for anything,

when we set a goal,

when we're thinking there's infinite resources and our brain doesn't immediately believe that.

And how we want to actually bring this back to a place where it is believable for you

is being able to think about two things.

So the first thing that I'm going to actually give you is more of the metaphysical.

And this is the process of understanding that money is a neutral tool

and it is as abundant as the air that you breathe,

the grass that is outside,

the people that are in the city.

There's so much available.

There's so much abundance available.

And when we segment money as this tool,

as something that is limited or something that you have to sacrifice parts of yourself for or work really,

really, really, really, really hard for,

then a lot of times what we end up thinking about

is how much work is it going to take for me

to get there versus let me just play with the idea that it's no separate from the air that I breathe.

And I want you to think about it this way.

If there are unlimited resources available,

let's just say from the air that you breathe,

I want you to just take a moment to just kind of breathe, keep breathing.

See how you can just keep going.

Like there's so much, right?

But a lot of times we're not thinking about,

oh my gosh, is there enough air?

Is there, there just is.

And it's something that is not something we have to kind of conceptually figure out

but with resources like money it's a little bit different

because it is almost this essence of a byproduct of your

power of your action taking of your beliefs of what you believe is possible for you

and it is abundant in nature and

if we think about it in the same way as air

and love and time and all of these you know resources

that we have available to us we can kind of see it as this thing

that is not the destination but more of a it gets to be here

and available to me because i am well favored i believe

that i am always taken care of i believe

that i'm well resourced i believe that things are working out in my favor

and when you just have that one baseline operating belief of like it's always working out for me

like it's always going to make itself available to me,

then there is a sense of openness and availability in your energy field for that.

It's so interesting that we're actually having this conversation now because I was just having this conversation with my seven-year-old yesterday.

They had a book next to me and they were making comics

and there was this like funny thing that they had heard about paying bills and that it was like stressful or something.

So they were making this comic about all the bills they had to pay

and then they showed me and I kind of giggled and I go,

you know, what's really funny about bills because they were making it seem like it was a stressful thing.

And I am always very cognizant of recognizing that the words that I say have a direct impact on my children.

They have a direct impact on what they believe is possible for them or what they believe about the world.

And that's one thing that you get to imprint on people.

So I had said, you know,

what's really cool about paying bills?

And I'm like, what?

And I go, look at that light over there.

We have lights.

I go, look, you know,

see how the, how, how we have a hot water,

how we just took a nice hot shower.

That was from paying our bills.

I go, look at that,

look at that fridge or look at the,

look at the, the food,

look at the, look at the home we get to live in.

Look at all of the resources.

Like it's because we got to pay that.

And this is what we're given in exchange.

And that's something that I have always been very cognizant of is the awareness that there is never a loss,

that it's never a sacrifice,

that there's never something that's being taken from me,

100

that I have the ability to pay my cell phone bill and get to talk to my mom on FaceTime.

101

I get to talk to people all over the world.

102

I get to run my business from my phone.

103

I love that I have hot water.

104

I love that I have electricity.

105

I love that I have a home.

106

I love that I have these things.

107

I love paying my bills because I love those things.

108

I love being able to have access to those things.

109

And I'm very, very grateful for that.

110

I love being able to have a car.

111

I love being able to just,

112

I love to be able to have insurance.

113

I like to be able to have these things.

114

And it just is this reframe of,

115

yes, we get to pay bills,

116

but how can you soften that in your energy field?

117

How can you make yourself so incredibly grateful for the things that we have been told are hard?

118

I also want to mention that there is a very real essence to paying bills as well,

119

especially when you feel that resources are limited.

120

I spent a very, very large part of my life having a very difficult time paying bills

121

and having a very difficult time making sure that there was enough.

122

And I remember my energy around it.

123

I remember my energy growing up around it,

124

the stories I was told around it.

125

And I remember not realizing that that I could change,

126

that I could make this easier for myself,

127

even if that felt like there was a limited amount of resources at that moment,

128

that I could change how I view it.

129

And when I change how I feel things,

130

then there's a possibility that opens up.

131

It's not this concrete thing that is,

132

it's always going to be harder,

133

always has to be this way.

134

The second I can change my perspective on one thing,

135

I can change how I believe,

136

I can change how I see things,

137

I can change how I act,

138

and how I take action.

139

And that in itself had changed my entire life was just the opening of possibility of how can I see this different?

140

How can I make this easier for myself?

141

Because when we see it different, we feel different.

142

When we feel different, we act different.

143

And that really is that.

144

Now, one thing from a strategic standpoint that I want you to remember,

145

because you're most likely experiencing the cognitive dissonance of this infinite abundance with the kind of 3d

146

that you're navigating right now i want you to consider kind

147

of zooming it back in instead of thinking about infinite resources you can think about being able to understand

148

that you are the wealth source it's always coming from you now the reason i say this is

149

because even if you're working a nine to five you only get paid

150

because of you even when you're in your business you get paid

151

because of you it's always coming from you

152

and there's nothing outside of yourself that's going going to stop you from what can come in

153

and that you are always an infinite resource.

154

You always have infinite capacity to receive and to create.

155

And that's the gift of being a human is the ability to create.

156

And we all have access to that.

157

What is one small step that you can take that would bring more abundance?

158

What is one small step that you can take strategically that might be different?

159

Is there something that you've always wanted to do?

160

Is there something you've always wanted to launch or create or play with?

161

Or were there conversations you wanted to have with certain people?

162

Were there things that you really truly have maybe been putting on the back burner

163

that you could actually step forward and do?

164

Because if you are always in the driver's seat of your abundance,

165

you are always increasingly opening your capacity to receive and there's infinite resources available.

166

is really being able to say,

167

what is one thing I can do to be able to feel good,

168

to create, to have fun,

169

to play, and to then be able to receive the resources that are available.

170

So just to kind of recap this,

171

one thing that I want you to remember is that money is a tool,

172

is a resource, and it is unlimited, just like air.

173

And we want to just think about it as abundance, right?

174

A lot of times, even when we use the word money,

175

there's memory tied to that word in itself.

176

There's limitation, there's stories attached to it.

177

And just thinking about the receivership aspect of this,

178

of if I can receive air,

179

water, that there's always opportunity available, then it's just abundance.

180

And if we could just think about it from that space,

181

it opens up our capacity to be like, okay.

182

Second thing I want you to think about is that anytime we're thinking about the bills,

183

what is it giving you in return?

184

Like the story that I told my youngest,

185

And I remember them even in looking at me,

186

they kind of like smile,

187

they're like, you know what, you're right.

188

Oh, and then they kind of went on a little hunt around all the things

189

that were bills that we got in exchange.

190

And just being able to have that reframe in itself will really truly change.

191

But having the openness to seeing it that way takes a willingness in itself,

192

a change in itself.

193

Because if we've always seen something a certain way,

194

we can always kind of find the reasons why it has to be a certain way.

195

And then in terms of strategic aspect,

196

what is one thing that you can do?

197

What is one small step that you can do to be able to receive what is always available to you?

198

And you don't have to have that answer now.

199

There's no rush.

200

There's no reason to race towards it.

201

Allow it to unfold.

202

And something that I'll kind of encourage you to do is something

203

that we actually talk about inside of my program Currency Academy,

204

which is ask formations.

205

And this is more of the process of asking things in a question versus affirming things,

206

because that's where a lot of cognitive dissonance actually comes from is affirming something that we don't have a reference point to.

207

For example, saying I'm a money magnet or all these things when maybe there's a situation where the 3D doesn't reflect that.

208

no reference point, which creates cognitive dissonance,

209

which creates a lot of frustration in the body.

210

And so one thing that I want you to do is like,

211

I want you to ask yourself,

212

how come things are starting to feel easy?

213

How come things are just working all the time?

214

How come all of these opportunities keep coming to me?

215

How come it just feels better?

216

How come all of the things that I've ever desired are just starting to flow my way?

217

How is it all happening?

218

And when we ask things in a question,

219

our brain then goes on a hunt because we're not affirming something.

220

We're not creating a reference point.

221

We're just getting curious.

222

And when we're curious, our brain goes on a hunt and we become so much more cognizant of it.

223

We become more aware of it.

224

And whatever we become aware of,

225

we actually get to then see and observe and choose and move towards.

226

And that's my suggestion for today.

227

And speaking of ask formations, I want to play.

228

I want to actually start creating a lot more flow and fun in this space for you.

229

So I want you to think about one thing that you really want to happen for you.

230

This could be an opportunity.

231

This could be clients coming.

232

This could be more revenue flow.

233

This could be your body feeling lighter, more joyful.

234

This could be you feeling like you have more clarity.

235

And I want you to just think about that for a second.

236

And instead of saying, I have so much clarity

237

or look at all of these clients that are coming on board or look at how much money I'm making,

238

or I'm making all of this money.

239

I want you to do it the other way and get curious.

240

So inside of the comment section,

241

what I want you to do is I want you to say whatever your goal is,

242

but how come this is happening?

243

So I'm going to give you an example of this.

244

Let's just say you would love to have five clients on board.

245

The ask information would be like,

246

how is it possible that five clients are already onboarding?

247

They're finding me.

248

How are all these people finding me?

249

How is all of this working in my favor?

250

How come my body feels so amazing?

251

How come I have so much clarity?

252

How come I feel so good?

253

How come I feel so confident all of a sudden?

254

I want you to comment below and ask formation of how come this is happening?

255

And just play with that for a second.

256

See how that feels in the body.

257

If something starts to kind of flow your way,

258

let me know because I can kind of,

259

I can kind of, I feel like we're getting towards the fact that it probably will.

260

Okay.

261

If you have questions on business growth,

262

success, mindset, nervous system, wealth flow,

263

all of the things, go ahead into the show notes.

264

You can submit your questions anonymously.

265

And hopefully your next question will be something I'll be answering on the next Dear Jamie.

266

Okay.

267

Love ya.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
