Although money is, essentially, just a medium of exchange, along the way it gets imbued with a whole range of emotions such as guilt, shame, greed, joy and pleasure.
Each of these feelings then has a strong negative or positive impact on your financial results. Because whatever you might be experiencing, good or bad, will have a direct impact on the actions you decide to take, whether this is to spend less, invest more or even to do nothing at all.
That’s why it’s critical to develop mindfulness around your finances, so that you can make more objective decisions about how you attract and retain more money in your business.
The more you give something your attention and focus the more it grows – whether it’s your health, your relationships or your finances. Start by noticing what emotions you associate with spending or receiving money, how much is in your bank account and the sources of your revenue. Even though, at first, it might be uncomfortable to increase your focus on this area of your life, by doing so you are shining a light on what is working and what needs to change. Then you’ll be in a better place to take positive control of your financial future.
Make a commitment to develop a strong and positive relationship with money. You might as well as it’s going to be there for the rest of your life. Instead of blaming and shaming, start appreciating and thanking money for its on-going presence in your life. As you do so your mindset will start to shift away from a constricted scarcity consciousness, which shrinks innovation and creativity, towards that of infinite possibilities.
