YOUR MINDSET AND MONEY

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.

THE JOURNEY TO SAVING...FINALLY!

Oh boy, beginning a discipline with saving money. I was never taught saving growing up because in one ear it was "can't afford it" and in the other ear, "I'm broke". This coming from my parents at the time and continued throughout my teens and adulthood. Unfortunately, I carried these beliefs even after having a child. Even if I attempted to save at the local bank, I felt at the time that I could not and used the money as fast as I saved it. 

After a series of "events" which included homelessness, I had to get a clue and I mean a serious clue. No matter how much one has good intentions, we must set forth actions that show that ones' intentions are good period. I began a journey of learning what was going on in my belief system to cause me to have episodes with money. I had to do a time machine of my life and found out that growing up and listening to well-meaning people like family and others was something I had to heal. It took discipline and time yet I was ready to do it. 

As years went by, I got a clue about money yet as the layers peeled back, the dominant thought was FEAR! It was the thing that held me frozen. As I changed my beliefs, things began to change but I had one foot on the brake and on the gas. FEAR was the culprit. I then began to dig deeper and questioned those fears and am now healing them.

This morning, I looked into my savings account, yes a savings account and found money in it. I felt relief instead of fear and look forward to more. All it took was changes within and go beyond my fears, doubts and worries. On my journey of frugality, healing helps a hell of a lot because you can be frugal as well as abundant.
