Freedom from Money Worries: Fantasy or Reality?

Are you sick of stressing about money? If you know me, you know I have no interest in teaching people to stockpile money. But I am interested in helping people live a life free from worry about money. And when they stop worrying, they open themselves up to empowering thoughts. Positive thoughts. New beliefs that override the fears.

Wealth is freedom

It’s more than a secure bank account—much more. Wealth is really freedom. Freedom to decide to do something based on whether you want to do it, not whether you can afford to do it. To choose the doctor or health procedure you want, not just the one with the lowest cost. To choose the relationship you want to be in, instead of being ‘stuck’ with someone because of the financial issues. To spend quality time with your loved ones, not always working so hard you miss out on the special moments you dream of being a part of.

Wealth is living a life you love.

Is your money self-talk keeping you in poverty mode? Because money permeates almost every area of our lives, when I speak, I start my audience members a self-check on their with current money beliefs. Answer these questions with a simple yes or no is the first step in taking your thoughts from poverty consciousness to prosperity consciousness.:

1. Did you get limiting money-focused messages as a child? Example: “Money doesn’t grow on tress, you know,” or, “No We can’t afford that!”
2. Do you believe only children of wealthy parents go on to be wealthy themselves?
3. Do you believe you have to work hard and make sacrifices to ever get ahead financially?
4. Do you still have that “depression mentality” of fearing the money will all dry up one day, so you’d better hold on to every penny you can?

These are only a few of the money conversations we consciously—or worse yet, subconsciously— run in our mind. If you are constantly focused on a shortage of money, it’s time to upgrade those old beliefs to new, habitual ways of thinking that empower you.

Try this new game
Now try this fun exercise. If you practice it, you’ll be surprised how it starts to come naturally, as you program the new thoughts in your brain. Every time you are challenged by a limiting belief about money, come up with an affirmation that is the direct opposite of that fearful money thought. An example: When you see something you want, your first thought might be, “No, we can’t afford that!” Right away, tell yourself, “I can’t wait to see how we creatively find the way to manifest that item into our lives.” Watch your electro-magnetic thoughts and feelings move you toward creative ways to generate new money into your life.

I’ll be sharing more and more steps to lead you toward your empowered, wealthy life in this blog site and at my upcoming speaking events I speak at. Did your parents send you messages about money that made you feel powerless? What were some of them? Did you overcome them and replace them with positive self-talk?
We’d love to hear from you in the comments.
