You’ve seen those affirmations. One of the more popular ones, is:
“I love money and money loves me”.
Well, affirmations don’t always work. Here’s why.
Are you making this mindset mistake that so many entrepreneurs make? You want to make lots of money (and you want it to come quickly), yet you have a really bad relationship with money.
In fact, your relationship is worse than a soap opera. You make-up and then break-up. When you’re making money it’s like “woo hoo” and life is a bed of roses. But, then when you don’t have much coming in, you avoid your money like the plague
Here are the symptoms when that happens:
- You don’t track your income
- You don’t pay your bills on time
- You might even get disappointed in yourself or flip the other way and get angry
None of those create a pretty picture.
You can’t be afraid of something and expect it to love you at the same time.
You can’t avoid something and then expect it to show up in your life in the form of abundance.
That’s not how the Laws of the Universe work.
If you find that you’ve been showing up in that way, here are a few strategies to change things and create a love-love relationship with your money.
- Track your money daily. This is something I have my private clients do. What happens often in the initial stage is that my clients are really uncomfortable with this action step. In fact, they often avoid it. But I give them some “tapping” and other mindset activities to do and they work through this. As a result, what happens on the other side is the flow of money into their bank account.
- Pay your bills on time. Often, people get “resentful” when they have to pay bills. So, here’s a mindset shift. People (or companies) are giving you a service and in return, you are expected to pay. People (or companies) are putting their trust in you that you will honor the payment agreement with them for a service they are providing.
Understanding that everything is energy, so that when you don’t honor the agreement you are being disrespectful. The way that shows up to you is that you are boomeranging all sorts of bad money energy right back into your life.
A phrase that helped me switch my mindset was to tell myself that these invoices were “blessings for services already received”. As I became congruent with this belief, it became easier and easier to move forward.
- Have “good” energy around money. If you become angry, disappointed, frustrated and so on with your money situation, then you will attract more of that back into your life. However, you can change that by putting space between your current money situation and who you are and what you are trying to create. One of the best ways I learned to do this for myself (and what I use with my clients) is tapping. It’s the modality I am an expert in.
So, if you’ve been following me for awhile then you know I’m an action-taker and promote the same in you. Starting today, starting now, learn to incorporate those 3 strategies into your life on a daily basis. Watch and see how money starts to love you back in the form of more abundance.
Be Brilliant,
