Money itself isn’t bad. The way we handle money and the situations that come as a result are what gives us our perception of money. When we do something right, we feel good about money. But, when we do something bad, those negative thoughts are front and center. Growing up my mother always told me, “If you think positive, positive things will fill-up your life. But, if you think negative…….”. I’m sure you get the picture! The trick to this money thing is actually very simple, all you have to do is BE POSITIVE & it will come to you!
Learning how to have a more positive mindset about your money is the first step to making changes in your financial life. So let’s get down to it.
How To Shift Your Perspective About Money:
-Status Quo – What is your money story?
What is your money story? How was the concept of money taught to you as a child? Were you prepared to handle your finances as an adult? Have you gone bankrupt or experienced a money shortage? Have you been in debt? Did you grow up in poverty? Did you start a business that failed? What do your finances say about you?
-Dig Deep – What is your relationship with money?
- Describe the relationship you currently have with money……
- Describe the relationship you would like to have with money……
- How do you talk about money? Do you say negative things like “I’m broke” or “I never have any money? List all the negative things you say about your money situation……
-Purge – Let it all go!
Today we vow to get rid of all the negative things we have to say about our money. So, let’s write them down and leave it here FOREVER! I’ll give you the first one …
“I will never make enough money …..” | Its time let the hurt go sis! YOU CAN DO IT!
-Shift – Let’s talk about a time when your money did amazing things!
Describe a time that money has helped you accomplish something. A time when you did not feel negative about money. Did you use savings to purchase something important? Did you pay-off a debt? Think hard about a time that your money made you happy or proud.
So we already talked about speaking positive and how this will fill our atmosphere with positive things. Additionally, we got rid of all of the negative things we had to say about our financial situation.
