Transform Your Finances: Move Beyond Limits and Ceilings
Craft a money desire statement and actively begin materializing your financial goals with these techniques.
It’s incredible how we can create all these limits and boundaries around our reality without even noticing. And then suddenly, in a moment of clarity, we see opportunity. We can become incredibly comfortable with our ‘programmed’ thinking, without even realizing that there are always other avenues and possibilities.
Finances are a biggie. It’s so easy to get comfortable with finances. It’s easy to avoid financial planning, budgeting, and investing when we’re stuck in a cycle of ‘paying the bills and maintaining the household.
We get so used to a cap on our income that seeing an opportunity to create more wealth feels strange or scary.
This cap on our income is called our financial thermostat. Even when I thought I didn’t have one, when I finally sat back to look at things, I definitely did have one.
I was super duper limiting myself because I let myself become dependent on my husband and become comfortable with making pocket money. Ahh! It never occurred to me that there was more that I could have, I simply wasn’t reaching for it.
I was in the wanting of more, but the comfort of enough.
And the truth is, we can’t have both. We won’t have more if we’re not taking action to move the needle. This is why airy-fairy law of attraction gurus mislead people. Our mindset around money must grow and we actually have to do work to cultivate this growth.
Yes, we need to be hungry for more but more so, we need to believe that it’s possible to make more. Starting with how we use our words, how we talk about money, and our money desire statement.
The 2 most important pieces: Our WORDS and our DESIRE.
Words Around Money
Have you ever examined how you talk about money? You may think you’ve done the money mindset work but then catch yourself saying an important investment you wanted to make is “too much and you can’t pay for it.”
Since the mind believes what you tell it, it acts accordingly.
The mind perceives you saying “I can’t” as a threat. Because it creates chemicals in your body that signal fear or lack. So the brain does what it thinks (no pun intended), it needs to do to keep you safe and happy.
When you say, “I can’t”, the brain thinks “Okay, then I will make sure you don’t, if that’s what will make you happy” … it doesn’t know the difference, it simply responds to the signals and chemicals that are produced as a result of your words and emotions.
