Limiting Beliefs About Money? Here’s How to Fix Them

Can I let you in a little secret?

Even the most perfect budget spreadsheet, savings strategies, and debt payoff plans can’t fix a broken money mindset  🤭

Tackling your relationship with money and how you think about it is foundational work on the road to financial success.

And part of this journey requires overcoming limiting beliefs aka those negative thoughts and feelings that keep us from moving forward.

Let me know if these sound familiar:

❌ I’m so broke

❌ I’m going to die with this debt

❌ Money is the root of all evil

❌  I’m just bad with money

These beliefs are sneaky, creep in slowly over time, and if left unaddressed, they can influence every money move you make (or don’t make).

👎 You never build healthy savings habits or invest for the future because you think you’ll always be broke

👎 You never start your debt-free journey because it feels pointless

👎 You don’t pursue new job opportunities or business ideas because you fear that having too much money is evil or leads to corruption

👎 You never attempt to manage your money well because you believe being bad with money is just a part of your DNA

See how that works?

How to Fix Limiting Beliefs

One of the best ways to let go of limiting beliefs is by giving yourself new positive affirmations to cling to instead.

What Are Affirmations?

Affirmations are powerful statements that help you gain control of your conscious thoughts. These statements influence your actions which become what shape your reality.

Do They Really Work?

Yes, but only if you do! The truth is reciting affirmations won’t flip a magic switch and automatically change your reality. But affirmations can:

✨ Boost your mood

✨ Improve your outlook

✨ Clarify your goals-driven focus

✨ Motivate intentional action

All of which are important and necessary on the road to winning with your money.

Do This Now

1️⃣ CREATE powerful present-tense affirmations that speak to the reality you envision for yourself.

2️⃣ WRITE them down and place them in a highly visible area such as on your bathroom mirror or nightstand. You want to see them every day.

3️⃣ RECITE them daily out loud. Whether it’s first thing in the morning, during your lunch break, or right before bed, vocalizing your affirmations is super important.

Improving a broken money mindset won’t happen overnight but I hope these tips inspire you to take the first step!
