Money

Oh this little five letter word has so much charge behind it.  Tons of beliefs, emotions and meaning to it.  It’s a huge focus for so many people.  Not just earning money, but saving it, spending it, making sure NOT to be too focused on it.

We give the amount we make and what we have in the bank so much meaning.  We even make it mean something about ourselves!

We pick up a shirt we like in a store and immediately look at the price tag and make a decision based on that, rather than if we really like and want the shirt!

Why, why do we give so much power to pieces of paper with dead presidents on it?!  Or a few numbers on a screen?!

I’m writing this because I am guilty of this too.  Ever since I was a little girl I talked about wanting to win the lottery.  Why was that a goal of mine at 10 years old?!  

Money is energy and it’s just a means of exchange.  It has no inherent meaning except the meaning we give it.

Money should be our servant, not our master.  

I’ve shifted MANY long held beliefs about money (and still am) and the more I do, the  better my relationship is with money.

My tip for you today is to start treating money like a person.  And think about if that person would want to be around you.  Or if they want to avoid you because you are hoarding, resenting and blaming it for all your problems.  Start appreciating and thanking your money instead, making it welcome into your experience.  

No matter what your current relationship with money is, I promise this will start to improve it.
