Prosperity From Bed
The Power of One Aligned Action
Hello, love.
I was sitting up in my bed doing some clerical work (embracing hermit mode, my favorite part of the MercRx) and was totally inspired to share something with you that I’ve been meaning to share for a while now.
A new space I have stepped into in the last year.
It is not about pushing, manufacturing momentum, or about forcing productive choices.
This is, of course, about Ease.
And the principle underneath it.
One of my favorite things to do now…
Make money before I ever leave my bed.
Coffee in hand.
Hair a mess.
Still half inside a dream.
I sit in bed and answer paid surveys.
Sometimes I feel amazing.
Sometimes I feel like total garbage.
Like today.
The third anniversary of my dad walking home is this week.
Grief has a way of living in the body.
It does not care about your to do list.
Last night I tied one on with hard kombucha.
No apologies.
It was intentional.
A planned reprieve.
I have a few days off.
I am resting.
I am remembering.
And this morning I asked myself the same question that has guided my business, and now my layered money streams, for sixteen years.
What is one thing I can do today to move my business and money forward?
Just one thing.
Sometimes it is writing a post like this.
Sometimes it is answering an email.
Sometimes it is doing a small piece of clerical work from my laptop while I sip water and let my body recover.
And sometimes it is making a few dollars answering surveys before I even brush my teeth.
Five dollars.
How would that feel?
Not because you need it, or it will change your life.
But because it sets the energy.
It reminds your nervous system that money can meet you where are.
You don’t have to be polished, optimized, or crushing goals.
You can be:
In bed.
In grief.
In healing.
In hermit mode…
Where you are is perfectly fine.
The old school manifestation conversation taught us to visualize mansions and millions.
And no wonder none of us felt like we were doing it right.
Allowing ourselves to believe that we must be off track because we haven’t changed our tax bracket.
But…
What if prosperity is simpler than that?
What if it begins with setting an intention over your morning coffee?
Today money flows to me with ease.
Then choosing one aligned action that supports that truth.
The world will always try to convince you that money requires hustle.
Push upstream!
Strain harder!
Do more!
This week’s Rhythm Space asks a different question.
Where is the natural downstream flow today?
Some days downstream looks like a three hour deep work sprint.
Some days it looks like sitting upright, drinking water, and doing the one small task you are capable of.
Both count.
You do not have to abandon your money streams when life gets heavy.
You do not have to disappear from your mission because you are human.
You can fit your wealth into the cracks of your real life.
Before the day job.
Between appointments.
During healing.
Inside grief.
One thing a day.
If you have been waiting…
To feel better, clearer, or more motivated before you move your money mission forward, let this be your permission slip.
Make five dollars.
Send one email.
List one offer.
Set one intention.
Then let that be enough for today.
You are not pushing upstream here.
You are choosing the natural flow.
And today, for me, that flow looks like water, rest, and one small task from bed.
What does it look like for you?
With love + infinite ease,
P.S. Be sure to check out this Rhythm Space designed to help you tap into your downstream flow ~ to help you discover that one aligned choice you can make today to keep your money growing.
Thank you so much for this. I've already added the affirmation to my journal and will be working my way through the Rhythm Space this afternoon. 🫂💖
Thank you for this reminder that prosperity can happen in those in between moments too with ease. Thinking of you as you come up to that anniversary. For me later this week it will be 11 years since my Mom transitioned. All the love ❤️
