YOUR MINDSET AND MONEY

Courtesy of cultofmoney

There are lots of people wanting to change their financial picture for the better. They find different opportunities online and attempt them yet find that some of those opportunities are not legitimate. Some people save money to have more money and find themselves having to spend that money and more. Despite actions to accumulate money, people fall short...why? It is the mindset!

We must do first things first which means to condition your mind to have money and be able to keep it. What does this mean? It means that you must convince your mind that you are worthy of having money and being wise to keep it. How is this done you ask? You must go to the origin of the mindset. 

That origin means conversations you may have heard as a child such as "money being evil", "rich people are greedy", "only a certain race of people have money" and so forth. Lots of conversations could have religious overtones with them as well such as "rather being poor than greedy", "you can't take it with you" and so on. 

As we become adults, we continue to believe those conversations and take them deep into our subconscious mind which has no barriers and does not say "no". It takes what you say and dwell on until it manifests into your life. You continue to stick with those beliefs because of the manifestations yet do not question why things keep happening. Until you have become sick and tired of being sick and tired, you do not take action and chalk it up to being "what it is". 

Write down some negative beliefs you grew up with. Exam each one, then change it to a positive. It is up to you to change your mindset by questioning those beliefs. Those beliefs you grew up with do not have to hold you hostage and your life can change for the better!

Affirmations are another way of changing your mindset. Affirmations are phrases that you use to manifest the life you desire. You use feeling behind each one. Even if you do not believe them at first; the subconscious will and your life will shift. You have to stay consistent with them even as your mindset changes. It is like a lifelong garden you have to tend to in order to manifest the flowers. 

So you see, it is very important to work on the mind first and foremost as you take inspired actions to save, invest, or open your own business.

WATCH YOUR WORDS ABOUT MONEY

It is very wise to watch the conversations you have with yourself and with others; especially when it comes to money. You see of course that words have power and when the emotion is very strong behind the words, it comes back to the user in a very positive or negative way depending on the way the words are spoken. 

Lets say that you and a friend are talking about going out to lunch yet it is not on your budget to spend at that time. It is okay to let this person know that you will have to do it at another time due to budgeting. Now lets say that you tell this friend that you are broke, that you have no money or you are too poor to do anything. Of course you will sigh about it and get all emotional. What happens? Any attempts to attract monies to you will be a problem for you. Why? Because you not only spoke negative about money but put a lot of feeling behind the words. 

Another scenario would be saying in conversation based on your beliefs about money. It would go something like this:

"There is never enough to go around."

"Rich people make me sick."

"There are shortages everywhere."

These beliefs may be true in your world, but look at others who were in dire straits and when they changed their beliefs, their life changed. 

This is why it its very important to look at money as a friend, not a foe. Live in gratitude with the money you have and more will manifest. Avoid negative conversations with others about money and know that the universe is abundant. You must change your beliefs and speak positive words about money such as:

"Wealth constantly flows into my life."

"Money comes easily to me."

"I am a money magnet."

The words may not feel right to you at first but put as much feeling into these words a you would when you spoke negatively. This practice is essential in building wealth as well as living frugally.

DO YOU HAVE OLD MONEY BELIEFS?

Do you have a pretty good handle on your money? How is your relationship with money? Good? Bad? Indifferent? Can you see yourself having a prosperous and abundant life? Lots of us wonder about these questions. Others do not care and continue to do what they want regardless of whether the situation is good or bad. If you are tired of having more month than money, no money at all or just tired of burying your head in the sand with the bills come in, this post can help.

First and foremost, it is time to stop beating yourselves up for the money mistakes you have made. Forgive yourself gently and learn the lessons! It is great to get 'how to' books on budgeting and all yet lets go deeper. A lot of the money issues that we have (yes me included) stem from past programming. This means growing up with these being told to us by our parents and other 'well-meaning' people. These are based on what they believed and since it manifested into their experiences, then they felt that they could relate them to you. Yet, not all advice is good advice because of the consequences. So it is time now to challenge every single belief that was told to you since a child. It does not matter that grandma said or grandpa said or mama said or daddy said. This is your life and since you want better in your life, we must think and do a thing in a different way. 

Lets go into some of those old beliefs here as follows:

Were you told beliefs such as;

(1.) "Money does not grow on trees"

(2.) "It is better to be poor and spiritual, than rich and evil."

(3.) "Money is the root of all evil." (this one is very popular)

(4.) "Once someone gets money, they get arrogant."

Honestly, do you really believe each of these and why? (1.) No money does not grow on trees so that one can be release from your mind. (2.) The second one is based on what others believed in regard to their religion yet is it your religion? There are folks that are just as rich, spiritual and kind people as there are poor people who are evil. Get it? Good. (3.) The third one is from the Bible yet has been misconstrued and misunderstood for years! The true text is that the love of money above your deity (higher power) is the root of all evil; not money itself. I believe that while many people have money, they do not keep it very long because subconsciously, they fear it and get rid of it. (4.) The last belief in this list is that money only magnifies the person's true character. This means that if the person was evil from the beginning, having more money will cause them to be more evil. This can go for kind people being more kinder, arrogant people being more arrogant and so forth.

There a lots more beliefs that can be challenged and it would be a great idea to list them as you go along and really examine each one. This can mean the difference between having a new and better prosperity mindset as oppose to staying in the same place.

Your respectful comments are truly appreciated and thank you.
