the money mindset ? no, the spoiled “princess” mindset.

i love the topic of money so much because it’s always been an extremely easy thing for me to manifest and i’m here to remind you of how easy it is. you’ll be drowned in it once you fully tap into the mindset of a “spoiled” person.

now, i’m not talking about being spoiled as in ungrateful, condescending, and unappreciative. i’m talking about having the mindset of someone who is always spoiled by those around them. a spoiled person is always receiving things. they’re always given what they want and money seems to be around them everywhere they go. why is that ? because money isn’t something they get, it’s part of their identity and they don’t care how it comes to them.

this mindset can also be considered as receiving princess treatment. and trust me, having this mindset will make money flow to you in unlimited amount and in different forms, and you don’t even have to lift a finger.

reminders :

1. princesses don’t have to do anything to get spoiled. they just exist.

when you truly believe that having money is your birthright and that being spoiled is the norm, that’s exactly what you receive. walk around knowing that everywhere you go, people want to do things for you. they want to give you their money. they want to buy you things. they want to pay for your food. they want to pay for your rent. they want to take you anywhere you want.

2. stop putting money on a pedestal.

it’s literally just paper. diamonds on earth are really expensive yet apparently there are planets where it RAINS diamonds. nothing really is as valuable as you think. we assign meaning to everything. having all the money you want is literally a thought away from receiving it. just take it off the pedestal.

3. money comes in many forms.

one thing that helped me manifest anything money related is that i didn’t limit money to just receiving it in its “paper form.” i see money in everything. i see ABUNDANCE in everything. i don’t just focus on money itself. i focus on the idea of being spoiled, thus leading to money being manifested in different ways. i don’t just limit myself to receiving cash or money randomly showing up on my bank account. be open to receiving money in any way aka being spoiled through different ways. i don’t have money to buy food ? oh, whatever. someone will pay for my food. i don’t have money to pay for rent or the clothes i want ? oh, someone will pay for my rent or it will magically be solved because i am spoiled and don’t have to do anything. also, someone will buy me the clothes i want because i deserve to receive gifts and be spoiled exactly how i want.

4. spoil yourself first.

i know this might raise some questions like how tf am i supposed to do that ? this works for me so it might work for you as well. i always spoil myself in any way possible. through self-care routines, buying myself little things if i can, and overall doing things that make me in the state of being someone who is living a soft life ? i also keep affirming that i’m always spoiled and receive princess treatment from everyone. i don’t necessarily focus on money as something that is separate from me. i make it my identity and like i said, i’m fully open to receiving it in any way possible not just in a particular form. and since then, i’ve been manifesting not only cash, but also everything i could possibly want that requires money without having to pay at all, paying a little amount, etc.

affirmations :

i am drowned in money everywhere i go.

i receive princess treatment from absolutely everyone.

i am always spoiled by everyone around me.

everything comes to me effortlessly.

everything works out in my favor perfectly.

i am a spoiled princess. i receive everything i want.

i get paid to exist because life loves me that much.

i love how everywhere i go, people want to buy me stuff.

i love how everyone wants to make my life easier. i truly don’t have to do anything.

i love how money is always chasing me everywhere i go.

money is my birthright and being spoiled is a norm for me.

i love being spoiled and treated like royalty.

i am living a soft life. i don’t have to work hard for anything.

money comes to me easily. i can just sit and do nothing and it begs me to spend it on everything i want.

i have always been a spoiled person. i love how easy my lifestyle is.

i am abundance personified.

overall, you can manifest money in various ways and any way works. i believe that choosing this mindset just makes it flow to you so easily without even having to do anything and it truly feels so good. ✶ ૮₍৹˘ᵕ˘৹₎ა 𓈒

My wife and I have a little game we play called "Speaking From Ignorance."

To play Speaking From Ignorance, all you need is a phone with a voice recorder, and another person who knows considerably more or considerably less about a topic than you do. The topic can be anything: from "how to bake a quiche" to "what happens in the Peter Jackson Hobbit movies" to "who is Florence Pugh" to "how does the traveling salesman problem work." All that matters is that one of you has a firm grasp on the material, and one of you absolutely the fuck does not.

Then the person who knows about the topic turns on the recorder, and says to the person who knows barely anything: "Hey - tell me everything you think you know about [X]."

The speaker is then not allowed to ask any questions. Nor is the expert allowed to volunteer any information. The expert is allowed to pipe up with a faintly incredulous "Oh--really? Do you--do you think so?" from time to time, but for the most part, the expert's job is just to sit there and make encouraging sounds while the speaker digs their own grave.

This is never not funny.

The reason you record it is because, very often, the first thing the speaker wants to do after finishing the recording is find out how you actually make a quiche, or whatever. Then you both get to go back and listen to how wrong they were.

We have a small library now of Speaking From Ignorance recordings, and I'm going to be listening to them until I'm eighty.

Remember that if you want to do more of something, you have to do less of something else. It's that time of year where people set goals for the new year and they have plans and hopes and it's always focusing on what they want to do more of. More studying, more exercise, more crafting, more socialising, more making things from scratch. Okay, great. What are you going to do less of in order to have the time and energy to do more of those things you really want to do?

[corvid-language-library]

And if your answer to this is "less doomscrolling" or "less bedrotting" then great, but please think about why you're doing those things. No one's doomscrolling or bedrotting because they don't have things they'd rather be doing. Actually, I'm willing to bet you have a lot of things you'd rather be doing and you spend your life internally screaming at yourself to do literally any one of the many things you want to be doing instead, but you don't have the energy for them all and you can't work out how to prioritize them, so doomscrolling spares you from making that decision. Or perhaps you're burned out from taking on too many projects and you need to rest your brain, so you lie in bed because you don't even have the energy to get started anymore.

This is going to be a really hard pill to swallow, but the truth is you might not be able to balance all your hobbies and all your projects the way you'd like. If you want to finish writing that book, you might have to reduce your daily drawing habit to a couple of times a week. If you want to do yoga every morning, you might have to accept not cooking from scratch as often. If you want to spend more time with your family, you might have to cut down on your yearly reading goal. I'm not saying give up on your hobbies; I'm be realistic with your time and your energy and be kind to yourself. Stop expecting yourself to do more and do better every single year. You don't have to constantly be growing upwards and reaching for the stars; you can be content with where you are, or even cut parts of yourself back to make space for other things in your life to bloom.

Think about what your priorities are and make peace with doing less of other things. Less is okay. Less is not failing. Less is self care.

My therapist just told me my problem is that I need to write more fanfiction.

[clandestinegardenias]

This sounds fake but the logic behind it is actually really interesting? She said obsession with a new fandom triggers quick dopamine release when we consume all this related content–it’s easy and addictive.

What we’re NOT getting is that ‘slow dopamine’ that’s more sustainable and engaging. That’s the kind we get from DOING things that take effort but are ultimately rewarding.

So like, she suggested that writing fic and making fanart are ways to balance the quick dopamine of watching a show/reading fic with the slow dopamine of working at something that takes effort.

Moral of the story is you should engage in the process of creation around your favorite things. You’ll feel better for it.
