In the next in our series of limiting beliefs, we look at the way we view money and wealth and how our subconscious beliefs and attitudes ultimately shape our financial stability. Becoming Aware identifies some of these beliefs and if you can relate to them, you will need to first of all recognise them, question them and then ultimately change your ingrained beliefs.
Limiting Beliefs About Money
· Money is the root of all evil
· Money does not grow on trees
· I can’t afford it
· The rich will only get richer and the poor will only get poorer
· More money will only bring problems
· Money isn’t really that important
· I’m just not any good with money
· Money doesn’t buy happiness
· It takes money to make money
If you can relate to some of these statements, or perhaps all of them, you will need to change your mindset towards money in order to move forwards.
Overcoming Your Limiting Beliefs
You will have to alter the way you see and perceive money and it has to be associated with being an opportunity. Deeply analyse your views and try to think more along the following lines.
· Money is one of my priorities in my life
· My financial reality is down to me
· I can create my own financial independence
· To get rich, I need to provide value for others
· I need to charge a good price
· I handle money really well
Learn About Money
If money is to be an important part of your life, you need to educate yourself about it. You may be thinking that it is an uninteresting and even boring topic, but do start looking into it, as you will find that the more you investigate it and learn about it, the more fascinating it becomes.
