Yes, You Do Have a Relationship With Money
“We all know about the Golden Rule, why shouldn’t it be applied to money?”
Think about it.
If you want someone to treat you with love and respect, you need to treat them with the same attitude and mindset, right? So if you want to be loved and supported by your money, how can you possibly expect it to offer that if all you do is act negatively towards it.
I get it, it’s hard to understand the concept of loving your money. But, stop visualizing money as a tangible thing. Think bigger; think beyond the dollar bills you hold in your hand, the debit card you swipe, the mobile app you tap.
Money is energy and the level of energetic alignment between the two of you is the amount of physical money and abundance that you attract. How do you create and elevate that bond? By talking to and spending time with your money.
IMAGINE MONEY AS YOUR BEST FRIEND
Right now, based on your relationship with money, would it show up for you, would it support you like a best friend would? The answer to that is based on how you’ve been talking to or about it. Do you constantly say that you don’t have enough money, or do you express thanks for what you do have? Let me give you an example of what I mean. I have a client who would almost every day, multiple times a day, say that she’s so broke. It was always said jokingly but that joke became her reality and over time, her reality became her identity. It’s true that your words have power and the language you speak out is the energy you put out.
SPEND QUALITY TIME WITH YOUR MONEY
Notice I didn’t just say spend time with your money, that’s because just like how your words have power, your actions have power as well. Do you look at your bank account regularly or do you avoid your finances altogether? Are you checking in on your money or don’t even know if at the end of the month there is anything leftover for savings or debt repayment? Instead of checking your bank balance on days you know the number won’t disappoint (like right after getting paid), spend quality time with your money by creating a financial goal or a plan and then setting up regular money dates to keep those goals in check. That sounds a lot better than the opposite, which is pretty much living your life relying on a prayer that things will keep coasting along.
But coasting along can’t be the standard anymore.
How you talk to money and how much time you spend with it is what impacts your money mindset and how you manage your money. If you don’t know how much you’re left with at the end of the month, how will you know how to grow your money? And if you always tell yourself you’re broke, guess what, you’re going to remain broke. Start working on your goals and commit to changing your relationship with money before it becomes your identity or worse, your reality.
