Set the goal – we’ve been told. Then work your ass off to get what you want.

Not getting what you want? Something is wrong with your plan. Make the necessary changes and continue to work at it.

Still not getting what you want? Perhaps it’s your habits. Review your habits, swap out habits that don’t serve, for ones that do.

OK. If you’re still not getting results – then it’s you. You are either lazy, procrastinate too much or don’t want it bad enough.

Many of us have huge money goals.

Yeah, they’ve said money can’t buy happiness, but who said anything about buying happiness? Give me the money!

Yet earning what we desire continues to be the elusive goal that seems to get more slippery as time marches on.

How is it for you? Do you regularly and consistently attain your financial goals? If your answer is no, continue to read.

If your answer is yes, have you reached a ceiling earning figure and can’t go beyond that amount? If your answer is yes, continue to read.

I’ve been thinking a lot about money. Exploring my feelings about money. Examining my beliefs about money.

I grew up with a mother and grandmother who experienced the days of war. They knew how to survive when food was scarce. They made everything count. No waste. No unnecessary buying. Needless to say, a lot of their experiences and beliefs were transferred to me. I don’t like to see food being thrown away. I don’t like spending “bad” money as it were, on stuff that I don’t really need or might only use once.

Here’s the thing – these beliefs have led me to think in terms of scarcity and not ever having enough. These beliefs are actually blocks to the flow of money to me.

The money issue is deep, and I will keep coming back to it again and again until it makes total sense but this is what I’ve gathered so far:

You have to develop a mindset of possibility. If like me, you have been trained so to speak, to see scarcity then the real work is shifting that to seeing abundance and more importantly FEELING abundance. If your focus is on what isn’t working and what isn’t possible then you can kiss your money desires goodbye.

It’s going to be tough to change your thoughts because you don’t live in a bubble. We all have people around us who are constantly complaining or stressing about money; those that maybe laugh at our dreams or tell us that what we’re after is impossible; or they simply project their own money fears unwittingly on you.

Whenever someone plants a thought that is counter to the direction you’re going in, that thought, if you let it, will pull you out of alignment, and place a block between you and what you would like to manifest.

In other words: if you don’t have a supportive and abundant outer-environment, it’s harder to create an abundant inner-environment. 

Awareness is always the first step.

Be more aware of WHAT you’re thinking. Where are those thoughts coming from? Are they blocking me from what I want to achieve? What is the new thought that I must cultivate that would bring me more in alignment with what I desire?

This is the time for diligence.

Wanting money is not bad.

The money you desire is inevitable if you CHOOSE to believe that it is but only if you are willing to get out of your old habit thoughts and think, feel, and act like the version of you who has already received the money you desire.

I have designed a workshop addressing the money issue. It’s called “Your Money Psychology” which I will be running in organizations and publicly. This workshop is an essential first step in clearing your money blocks. You can better care for yourself and those you love if you have the funds to do so. Being materially wealthy is one way to calm the worries of your soul AND become healthier. For more information about the workshop – click here.
