Let’s get to the bottom of your financial fears so you can get to the top!

This is a no-brainer: When you're fearful of money, all your financial decisions come from a place of fear. 

But you may already be thinking, “Fear of money? That's not me!”

I beg to disagree. If you've ever avoided looking at your bank account, if you've ever panicked about your finances, if you've been immobilized by indecision, if you've made unwise investments, or if you’ve overspent yourself into debt … you're afraid of money. 

Of course, you're not alone. 

Money is more significant today, influencing politics, power, status, pop culture, and family dynamics. Constant messages about money affect how you earn, spend, save, and value it.

Make decisions with integrity to earn more and feel good about it. Investigate and understand your relationship with money, and change it if needed. Try these exercises to assess your relationship with money.

Do a “Money Purge”

Rant and write down everything you feel about the subject, no matter how contradictory, upsetting, or exaggerated it might be. This will allow you to loosen up and tune in to your inner dialogue. It will illuminate your perception of money in the world and your own life.

When I started doing a money purge, I said things like, "Good people shouldn’t need a lot of money” and "People shouldn’t drive expensive cars.” Do your own purge and see what you find. You can start by completing the following statements:

• People who have a lot of money are...

• Money makes people …

• I can’t make more money because ...

In this exercise, pay special attention to what you learned (or didn’t learn) from your parents. What was your parent's relationship with money like? How do their traits show up in your life?

Self-discovery is your most powerful tool, but only if you learn how to use it to your advantage.
