Money
Take a second and think about money. What do you think about money?
I encourage you to get a piece of paper and answer these questions:
- What comes to mind when you think about money?
- Do you have or want a lot of money? Why or why not?
- What were you taught about money?
Do you think it’s hard? Or Do you think it’s easy?
Do you think you have to work hard for money? Or Do you think money is fun?
Do you think money is abundant or do you think I never have enough money?
This is all very important because the way you think about money is what will determine how much you have.
Remember our results are always proof of our thoughts.
Our relationship with money is really important. Why?
We can either let it be a huge stressor in our life, or we cannot. It’s our choice.
Let’s talk about our relationship with money.
What is our relationship with money?
Our relationship with money is just our thoughts about it.
And of course, our relationship with money will determine how much we have and how we treat it when we have it or how much we don’t have and how we treat it when we don’t have it.
If we think money is evil, hard, or greedy we probably won’t have a lot of it in our lives. If we think we’re underserving of money, we won’t be able to hold onto money.
Hear me out, the more money we have the more problems we can solve, the more time we can buy, the more learning opportunities we can have, the more fun we can have, and life is easier.
If you can afford to pay someone to clean your house, then you’ll have more time to spend with your kids, or going back to school, or whatever you want to do.
Now that we know what our relationship with money is, what is money?
Money is just a circumstance.
It’s a fact.
Money only means what we make it mean, literally.
Money is just pieces of paper, metal, a plastic card, or a number on a computer screen.
We have decided as a people/society what the value of money is, and we all agreed on that value.
What we think about money will determine our relationship with money.
When it comes to money, it’s important to remember that we get to decide what we want to think about it and how we want to feel about it and if those thoughts and feelings are serving us our not.
We don’t have to believe what our parents taught us. Those are their beliefs, not ours.
Personally, I believe money is fun.
I believe money is easy.
I believe there is enough abundance and money for everyone.
We could all be multi-millionaires and there would still be tons of money left over.
How do you think about money currently?
If your relationship with money is not what you want it to be, change your thinking. Change your beliefs.
Lately, as I’ve been trying to get my business up and growing, I’ve been reading several books on money. One book in particular advised the use of alarms or reminders with new money mantras or thoughts. Every time your phone dings, you think the new thought.
Here are some of my favorite thoughts about money:
Money is easy.
There is plenty of money for everyone.
People love to pay me money.
I am worthy of all the money I receive.
I love money. Money loves me.
I am capable of creating 1 million dollars.
I use money to better my life and the lives of others.
Money is time.
Creating money is fun.
The value I put out into the world comes back to me 10 times.
You’re welcome to borrow these. Set some alarms and think one of these thoughts each time it goes off.
