Health Comes First

A big factor to wellness are conditions in which people manifest dis-ease, is their personal finances. Over the last ten years, the economy has been tough on almost everybody. People got hit hard. They lost their 401K’s. They lost percentages of their retirement. They might have lost this, lost that, lost their home, or whatever. Their family members may also be in a tight situation. They’re trying to help family members, put themselves in a better position, and they’re running out of cash.

What happens is, maybe consciously or unconsciously, at some point of life, they decided that when they retire, they would have X amount of money, and when the money runs out, their goal is to die broke. I hear people say this all the time - the ultimate financial plan is when you spend your last dollar is on the last day you’re here on this physical earthly plane.

Well, that’s fine and dandy, but the challenge with that is, people have unexpectedly experienced a drop in finances, and when they get that drop, it naturally makes them not at ease with their situation and becomes a concern. Remember, if they don’t have enough money, they won’t have any food, shelter, and clothing. So, they might as well be dead. And so, the financial condition of a person actually plays a huge part on wellness.

Some ideas…First of all, if finances come up on the chart, you need to do everything you can to balance the budget. What other income can you pursue? What other assets can you access? What can you do? You must come up with a plan very quickly and implement it. Now, the challenge is your ego is going to say, “No.” It falls under lost identity. If you lose your business because of the economy or you’re no longer that person, if you lose your house, your boat, your car, whatever, that’s your identity. You’ve attached your identity to all this “stuff.” It is often that we see that people become possessed with their possessions.

We see it with business when they attach the business name to the person and they become that identity, and when that business is no longer around, they don’t know who they are. So, they become the person with the physical condition. To counter this is to see that the Universe has always provided for you. I usually ask patients and clients, “God always provided for you. Everything you’ve asked for, you’ve gotten. So that’s not going to change.”

Second of all is, when you know who you really are, you know you’re not that stuff. Remember the word “possession” means being “possessed”, being possessed by objects, and so you need to work on knowing who you really are, the power and the abundance that you’re really connected to, and you need to come up with an action plan immediately. If a person has a physical issue and it’s the result of personal finances, they need to resolve it right now before healing takes place because it’s still a problem. It’s still in their mind.

It needs to be implemented immediately. If it means selling something, sell it. If it means moving somewhere, move there. If it means downsizing, downsize. The one thing about wellness is if health is high on your priority chart, then you need to make it a priority and nothing comes in front of it.
