The notification hit their phone: deposit received.
For a brief moment, there was a rush of relief. A breath that went a little deeper. The account balance finally looked less frightening. They did the math in their head — this payment, plus what was already there, plus what’s coming next week.
“Okay,” they thought. “Maybe I’ll actually get ahead this time.”
But within a few days, it started again.
An unexpected bill here. A “surprise” expense there. A subscription they forgot about. A small impulse purchase that turned into a bigger one. A friend who needed help. A refund that should have come through but didn’t.
By the end of the week, the money that had felt like a turning point was… gone. The account was back at that familiar low number. The body was back in that familiar state — tight chest, pressure in the throat, knot in the stomach.
“How does this keep happening?” they wondered, staring at the balance. “I make money, but I can’t seem to keep it. No matter what I do, it slips away.”
If this hits a nerve — if money comes in and then quietly leaks out, if you can’t seem to get ahead, if wealth always feels like it’s just out of reach — there’s something deeper happening than “bad budgeting” or “poor discipline.”
Your energy may be quietly pushing money away, even while you consciously want more of it.
That might sound frustrating at first. But once you understand why your subconscious and energy body behave this way, you can stop fighting yourself — and start shifting into an inner alignment where money is actually allowed to land, stay, and grow.
