How many times have you interacted with money this week? And, how did you feel about it?
In this world we've built of trade and exchange, there is no getting past the profound impact money has on our lives. An impact that can influence our emotional wellbeing. Whether it's the stress of managing finances or the joy of financial success, emotions tied to money can be intense.
I know - once upon a time I was prone to lie awake at night worrying about money. I was a person who would decline invitations due to the cost, even though I had the money (that's a tough one to admit). I would feel 'guilty' if I spent money on things for myself. I did not enjoy paying bills, even though I could afford to.
But, I didn't always feel that way around money. My anxiety around money didn't show itself until my thirties. Sheesh!
I tolerated it for a while, but one day decided enough was enough. This entity (money) was going to be in my life for the rest of my life, so it was time for some relationship building. I sought to understand our relationship on a deeper level, so I could heal the shame, guilt and fear around money. What a blessed day that was! My life, and financial status, has changed ever since.
I have set myself free.
One of the first things I learned was the Energy of Money. This concept delves into the emotional and energetic aspect of our financial lives. It suggests that money carries a vibrational energy that can influence our feelings and behaviors.
If this resonates with you, here's how you can better understand and work with the Energy of Money:
1. Acknowledge Your Money Story: Reflect on your past experiences with money and any beliefs or emotions associated with it. Are you carrying negative beliefs or feelings from your upbringing? Acknowledging your money story can help you release old patterns and create a more positive relationship with money.
2. Practice Mindfulness: Pay attention to how you feel when you earn, spend, or save money. Are you anxious, guilty, or joyful? Mindfulness can help you become more aware of your emotional responses and allow you to make conscious choices.
3. Get Intentional: Align your financial objectives with your values and desires. When your financial choices are in harmony with your true self, you'll experience a more positive energy around money.
4. Practise Gratitude: Cultivate gratitude for the money you have, regardless of the amount. Gratitude shifts your focus from scarcity to abundance and attracts more positive financial energy.
5. Visualise Your Financial Success: Use visualisation techniques to imagine achieving your financial goals. This can help you manifest positive financial energy and motivate you to take action.
6. Clear Financial Clutter: Declutter your financial life by organising your finances and letting go of unnecessary expenses. A clutter-free financial space can promote clarity and reduce stress.
One step to feeling better emotionally around money involves embracing the Energy of Money. Understanding and working with the Energy of Money can help you transform your emotional responses to financial matters, ultimately leading to greater financial well-being and emotional harmony. Your relationship with money is an on-going adventure, and with self-awareness and intentional effort, you can achieve a more positive and fulfilling connection with your finances.
And, remember, money is not only a tool for necessities, it's a tool for enjoyment too! Let's have some fun with it!
