By positive thoughts you can move the lever to a better place. If you are worried about money, place the lever towards prosperity not poverty. You can only push yourself as far as you allow your own thoughts so be realistic. If you can only move the lever one notch higher that's better than no movement at all. The goal is of course to see yourself totally prosperous.
