MONEY BELIEFS
Money is fun and amazing! Do you think about it like that? For most of us, probably not. Most people have some sort of story or hang up about money. Some people think money is evil, but money is just money….paper and coins…it is completely neutral. It is your thoughts about money that creates how it shows up in your life.
What is your belief around money? Do you think it is hard to make? Where you told that money doesn’t grow on trees, as a child? Do you think you have to work really hard to make money? You are not clever enough, smart enough, thin enough? Look into the world and see that there are countless examples of people who did not let these beliefs and ideas stop them from making money.
No question, money can do a lot for you. Some people have a lot of money, but are really just miserable, others have way less, but live such rich lives. Money just makes you more of who you are. If you are living a life of abundance and joy, you will get more of the same. Alternatively if you are living in scarcity and lack, you will never have enough money.
I will be doing some more blogs about money in the coming weeks, but for now let’s investigate what you think about money, what thoughts and feelings come up for you. You can change these beliefs. Then, ladies, let’s appreciate what we do have, however much or little we do have.
- Love your money and treat it with respect. Get yourself a beautiful purse or a cute one, no need to spend huge amounts here. Just get yourself one that you love. Keep your money in it neatly, not all crumpled and in between a ton of receipts. Get rid of all the junk and take out the cards you don’t use on a regular basis.
Pay attention to your bank account and your credit card statements, know what is going on there. Make a date with yourself once a week and go through your statements and express gratitude for the money you do have and ponder on where you would like your money to flow to.
- Spend your money on things that you value. For example, if your home is important to you and you enjoy the beauty of décor, spend your money there. Or if you enjoy experiences, go to the spa or go on that trip you wanted for so long. This way you will not feel as if you are wasting your money or wonder what the heck you spent it on.
- Think about quality rather than quantity. Buy a pair of really well made, quality shoes that will last for a long time, rather than 3 pairs of the same shoes in a different colour, just because they are on sale. Living with quality will also elevate your life, you will feel like you are worth it, because Honey….you are!
Now, perhaps not so sexy, but worth your peace of mind.
- Put a little something away. It does not have to be a lot, create a debit order on your account and you won’t even know it’s gone. Before you know it that little saving has added up and you have built a beautiful little nest egg.
- Spend some money on your mental health. Study, do courses, get some coaching, you are worth investing in. We are all on this planet to learn a few things and grow hopefully. So pick something you are really interested in and enjoy!
- Create an abundant mindset. It is a well known Universal Law, you get when you give. Donate, give, assist, whichever manner you choose, you will feel great as well as watching it all flow back to you in spades.
- Be grateful. Make a list of all the things you are grateful for. Can’t think of any? You are reading this right? You have clean drinking water? You can go and sit outside in the lovely sunshine. A cup of coffee. A smile from a stranger….there is always something to be grateful for. The more gratitude you feel the more abundant you will feel and with abundance comes riches.
If you love money, it will love you back. Follow your heart and miracles will happen. When you invest in quality, you elevate your life. You create peace of mind, you invest in the best thing possible: you. If you start thinking like a rich person, you will start feeling like one and then you start attracting more riches into your life.
Please let me know what makes you feel abundant and which money beliefs you harbour….
