Welcome to Part 4 of 4 of the Subconscious reasons you may not hit your money goals!

Here’s a really easy way to find out if you suffer from Subconscious Money Block #4:

Say the following phrases out loud:

:: I love money!

:: Money is my friend.

:: I love making lots of money and keep lots of it in the bank.

:: It’s safe to have way more than enough to cover my basic needs and a ton of extra to have fun with.

Notice any resistance?

Now, there are many reasons why you might feel resistance to those statements (I’ll go into that more of them in my upcoming course that starts in March), but I’m going to share about one big reason why those statements might not feel true for you in this blog.

It has to do with the association you have with money – meaning, “When you think of money, what do you associate it with?”

• Being greedy?

• Selfishness?

• Being materialistic?

• Corporate profits or capitalism?

• A lack of reverence for “the things that really matter”?

What comes to mind for you?

If you associate money with the things I listed above, it means you have a negative association with money. And that negative association is Subconscious Money Block #4.

When you have a negative association with something – why would you want more of it in your life?

If Money = Greed/ Selfish/ Materialistic…. And you don’t want to be greedy, selfish or materialistic… why would you want more money?

A (You) + B (Money) = C (Greed/ Selfish/ etc) why would you want more C??

On a subconscious level, YOU DON’T!

That’s why you might be declaring out loud (on a conscious level) that you want to make more money this year, but then procrastinating on taking action – bc if you actually implement your strategy, part of you is afraid it might actually work – and if it works, then you have more money – but if you have more money…. you ALSO turn into a greedy, materialistic jerk! (according to your subconscious mind)

Money is an entirely neutral energy. It’s the story and the qualities we associate with money – it’s the labels we put on money – that keep us from drawing more of it to us.

So how do you change your association to money and the labels you put on it?? It does take some time and practice – but the shift starts on a tiny micro level.

Here are 2 ways you can shift starting today:

1.   Start looking for positive money role models. Who’s out there in the world, making bank and doing great/ cool/ fun/ interesting things? Start to NOTICE these people. (There are LOTS of them!)

(Bonus points: Write them down in the Notes app on your phone to refer back to)

2.   Every time you spend money NOTICE what you get in return. A hot cup of coffee. A pretty sweater. A full tank of gas. Light in your home. Start to notice how positively your life is affected by the money you spend and all of the cool/ beautiful/ helpful things you get to enjoy because of it.

(Bonus points: Write them down in the Notes app on your phone to anchor in the positive association)

I’ll be diving deeper into this topic in my upcoming course, so if you’re jonesing for more, hang tight! I’m in my “money bat cave” creating some fun stuff for you and I can’t wait to share it soon.

In the meantime, I’d love to know – What’s ONE THING that you delight in because you spent money to have or experience it?
