Are you questioning why you’re struggling with a lack of money? Are you asking yourself, “Why don’t I have enough money at the end of the month?” Do you know that you are most often behaving from subconscious money messages from your past that influence your actions today? Creating abundance is so doable when you look at your money messages.
Your money mentality are caused by the money messages you inherited from your past – both conscious and subconscious. Why do I say inherited? A majority of your money messages were inherited from the people in your life who had the greatest effect on you while you were growing up. Perhaps it was your mother or father, a grandmother, a favorite aunt, a sibling, the principal, or your Sunday school teacher.
In many cases, they didn’t pass these money messages on to you intentionally. They inherited them from adults in their past just like you did and passed them on to you more than likely on a subconscious level. No problem if the money message was of a positive nature. However, you probably were given at least one or two that were negative.
Because these people were authority figures or role models, you did not question the content of the message. You just took it on like a family heirloom handed down from one generation to the next. The good news is that you can turn all of the negative messages around once you become consciously aware of what they are, make a decision that they no longer serve you and take steps to change your attitude around each specific money message.
Quite possibly we have some of the same money messages, but this is your unique journey. Let me give you examples, but you will need to discover for yourself what messages you hold to be true. Then you can decide which ones to keep or discard for you to create financial freedom.
The following are examples of common money messages.
We can’t afford that.
There’s never enough.
You have to have money to make money.
Get an education and a job, and you are secure for life.
You can’t be rich and spiritual.
“It’s easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than a rich man to get into heaven.”
Women never make what men make in the same position.
Spend time reflecting the money messages that have been directing your attitudes in creating your current financial condition of scarcity. Because of the importance of this reflection, set aside time when you will not be distracted. Take as much time as you need. In fact, this process might be like peeling away layers. You address one money message only to discover one, two or more other money messages lying beneath the surface that had been covered over by the initial money message.
Keep a journal – choose an attractive journal or create a simple one using a 3 ring binder. An important part of this process is writing down your discoveries. By journaling you bring your mental energy into the physical realm where you are creating. If you leave them in your mind, they remain abstract. The act of writing makes them concrete and managable.
Now you have the information that will make creating abundance in your life a daily event!
Remember…
Abundance Is Your Birthright!
