So on some other community forum we tried affirmations. I have a neat little book Money is My Friend by Phil Laut with such affirmations. You choose a statement you'd like to self-program into your consciousness, write it out at least ten times, preferably in first second and third person, for a period of time. The experiment on the other forum was for two weeks, I should do mine for a month.

I may have timed my affirmation with a geyser of blessings: free latte from my fave cafe, a short-term stint very well-timed and very very pleasant. A month-long contract of decent pay but one bus ride away (and it's in town! No 90-110min commute from the Eastside!). And a possibility that's going to keep me doing these affirmations for another two weeks: at 150% of what I'm currently earning.

My affirmations?
I am highly pleasing to myself.
My connection to infinite intelligence and infinite abundance yields me a large personal fortune.

But I also like:
There are plenty of opportunities for me to serve people and increase my income.
and
The value of my work is increasing rapidly in everyone's opinion.

It's like, now that I'm not so angry-depressed-bitter, but energized-hopeful-subversive-progressive, the universe is rewarding me and encouraging me to keep on keeping on.
