Every day, thousands of people refer to themselves as ‘broke’ or ‘tight’ when it comes to their money situation.
But according to business and digital influence coach, Erin Henry, 27, this mindset could be holding you back and preventing you from living the lifestyle you’ve always dreamed of.
In fact, the Melbourne-based expert says the mind is so powerful, that it can actually help you boost your bank account in a matter of months – all thanks to the law of attraction.

Taking to her YouTube channel recently, Erin, who describes herself as living her ‘dream life’, opened up about her own experiences and shared her top tips for using the law of attraction to boost your bank account for good.
‘I wanted to give you a story about something I did recently to manifest money into my life,’ Erin, the founder of The May Collective, explained.
‘I wanted to preface this by saying I don’t use a lot of my manifestations, meditations or visualisations to manifest money per say. I go through the experiences I want to have and the things I want to have in my life.

‘I did want to do some experiments and see if I could physically get a lump sum of money manifested into my life so I began visualising how it would feel to manifest a lump sum of money into my life,’ she said

After visualising and meditating for a few months, Erin said she received a message from her telephone company saying it was time for her to upgrade her contract.
‘I thought was strange because I upgraded 10 months before that,’ Erin explained.
‘I went into the store and they were so dumbfounded. They didn’t know why I was being offered this upgrade. It was a $700 discount, they were going to give me a new phone and they gave me a new contract.
‘You can be skeptical and try manifesting and say it was a coincidence or you can have faith and believe you made it happen,’ she explained
‘The best place to start with manifestation is to research it and look into the metaphysical side and the scientific research that has been done on the topic,’ she said
‘They said they had never seen anyone in 10 years get a discount of $700 and an early exit and a free upgrade.’
Erin also sold the new phone she was given for $700 and therefore making an impressive $1,450 in the process.
Speaking to FEMAIL, Erin said this is just one example she has of the power of manifestation and is aware that many would put it down to sheer coincidence.
‘You can be skeptical and try manifesting and say it was a coincidence or you can have faith and believe you made it happen,’ she explained.
‘Find the research that feels good for you and don’t go into it skeptical – there is so much information out there on it,’ Erin said

So what are Erin’s top tips for those wishing to give manifestation a go and potentially give their bank account a boost?
‘You can’t think you deserve money when you don’t have a good relationship with it or hate it or have negative connotations around money,’ Erin explained
ENSURE THE STORY YOU HAVE AROUND MONEY IS NOT DETRIMENTAL
‘You can’t think you deserve money when you don’t have a good relationship with it or hate it or have negative connotations around money,’ Erin explained.
‘Do you have any beliefs that aren’t positive? Do you think it is a scarce resource or do you think people who have money are evil?
‘You need to work out if there are any underlying beliefs around money that may make you feel like you don’t deserve it.’
‘We have these recurring stories and they determine how we live our lives – for example if we say we are unattractive or overweight then we will see ourselves that way,’ Erin told Femail.
‘Money is the same. If you tell yourself you are broke and have no money and can’t get it then that will be your reality.’
‘Money is energy just like you are and if it feels – this is going to sound creepy as hell but bear with me – if money feels that you don’t like it or don’t want it around it won’t want to be around you, just like a friend,’ Erin said
USE AFFIRMATIONS
‘A great way to start overriding how you feel about money and overcome limitations is to use affirmations daily,’ Erin explained.
‘Use them daily, something along the lines of “I deserve money” or “money comes easily and effortlessly to me”.
‘I know they are very esoterical and “woo woo” kinds of statements but what you want to do is override those stories you are telling yourself about money.

‘You want to think of money in a way that it’s about the opportunities in can bring, it doesn’t have to be evil.’

USE THE RIGHT LANGUAGE
Previously, Erin would refer to herself as a “tight a**e” when it came to money.
But all this was doing was influencing how she felt about herself and therefore how she spent and viewed money.
‘I would say “I don’t want to spend $20 on a top because I am a tight a**e”. Mind you I would easily blow $3,000 on plane tickets,’ she explained.
‘I didn’t want to spend money on clothes and instead of recognising that I didn’t put that much weighting or value on clothes I would say I was a tight a**e instead of just saying I would rather spend my money elsewhere.’
As a result, Erin found it hard to have a disposable income and spend money.
‘If you say “I’m always broke” you will always be that,’ she added.
‘Step into the shoes of who you want to be with money before it comes to be.’
Every time you pay for something adopt the mantra ‘there’s plenty more where that came from’, Erin explained
