Thought for today:
We need to find a source of strength to help us get through money situations. If we can find a Higher Power, we find new awareness and perspective about compulsive debting, overspending and underearning.
A member shares:
“Money is the reason I came to DA. I couldn’t handle it without anxiety. Even just holding cash made me panic, and I became ashamed that my spending was so chaotic.
“On the advice of my sponsor, I began using the principles of DA to get emotionally grounded, starting with daily lists of every penny I spent, to help me get mindful about my money habits.
“Eventually I found a Higher Power and focused on seeking HP’s will. I began to see that humility was a path to serenity. I still have free will, so it’s a daily decision to include HP in my day.
“When I don’t feel like it, that’s when I need to do it most. Rebellious feelings are my cue that I need to redouble my efforts in working my program.
“When I invite my Higher Power into every situation, especially when shopping, I am much more mindful, and I make better decisions.”
Ask:
Am I including my Higher Power when I deal with money?
Meditation for today:
Use the concept of a “Higher Power” to find healing. All that we need to do is find a strength beyond our own, and to surrender to its force. This will bring relief from suffering.
Affirmation for today:
“I will seek a Higher Power’s wish for my life, and for the power to carry out my part.”
“I will bring my Higher Power with me everywhere.”
