All in Changing Our Feelings About Money
One of the major emotions I struggle with is guilt, especially around money.
I keep thinking I'm okay and I've it sorted but wow, am I wrong!
I'm seeing it pop up again now - around money, happiness and life choices.
My first memory of money is one of me stealing money from my great grandma (ZAR 7/ 70 US cents).
And then to make matters worse - I lied to my grandmother about where I got the money...
One thing that I have long learnt about the phrase “I can’t afford this or that”, is that, most of the time, we are subconsciously saying “I don’t want to pay for this or that” because we spend money all the time, it’s really about our priorities, if something is your priority, you will find a way of affording it, if it is not, you will find excuses of why you “can’t” afford it.
When I started on my personal finance journey, everyone told me to do affirmations and visualization and that everything would shift when I did this.
Yet something interesting happened in my world – the more I affirmed, the worse I felt and the more critical and negative I became towards myself...
What are the 3 mistakes that keep spiritual people broke?
I was raised in a culture that taught me that it's rude to ask for things.
As a woman society taught me that good girls are reserved in their desires, they wait to be offered things and they hint at the things they want.
This lie held me back for years, especially in business where I spent years hinting at people to buy my products and hire me for my services.
