Detox Your Money Mind
Following on from last week’s post on how to Start a Money Detox…
Step number one was to Pay Yourself First.
Step number two is to clean up your decision making patterns so that you stop the panic and Never Make a Decision Out of Fear.
Fear is disempowering. No-one can think clearly when they are in fear. Studies show that your IQ drops by up to 50% when you are in fear. Fear is triggered by:
Worry
Trauma
Change
We can’t eliminate Change or Trauma but we CAN eliminate Worry.
Worry is useless. It uses up your brain capacity, your emotional and physical energy, with concerns about things that haven’t even happened. It’s totally possible that they may well NOT happen especially if you get your act together and DO something about it!
In any case, whatever you focus on grows. This is scientifically proven - your thoughts create your reality. It follows that if you focus on the on the worst possible outcome you’ll just give it more energy and may even MANIFEST it!
Why not focus on what could go right? It certainly FEELS like a better thought to think. It also helps your IQ stabilise so you can think straight and intelligently.
Here’s an exercise you can do when you’re frozen by worry and have to make a financial decision…
Next time you have an important decision to make about money (or anything in life really), first list out all of the options you have on paper. The brain SEES information as real when it’s on paper. When it’s in your head, information just goes around and around, and the negative just gets amplified so you NEVER get perspective.
So just write-it-down, please. You’ll thank me later.
Next close your eyes and IMAGINE you’ve taken action on one of those options. How do you FEEL after taking that action? The mind is powerful. This exercise works, just concentrate on the FEELINGS rather than the physical outcomes.
Do the same for each of the decision options you have.
Which one FEELS the best? The one that feels best will be the most empowering and aligned with your heart. Always choose the most empowering action - it never fails.
This is called tapping into your intuition. Women are especially powerful at intuition. It’s always there for you, you just need to remember to use it!
Try this same exercise on a small everyday decision today - like which route should I take to work? Learn how to trust your intuition and build it like a muscle by using it as often as you can.
Ladies, we were meant to THRIVE. The Universe always has your back and everyone is here to help. Never make a decision out of fear. Always tune into your intuition, visualise the outcome, and tune into how that outcome feels BEFORE you act.
When it comes to money, always trust you gut. Always ask questions and make sure you understand any transaction you are about to make. The answers are within YOU. Yes financial advisors, accountants and finance professionals have financial knowledge, but they are not you. Take on their advice and ADD it to your own. You are more powerful than you think and you always know the answer. Trust it. Detox yourself of the need for other people’s opinions - especially those who are not successful themselves. You are amazing. You are intelligent. You are intuitive. You are woman.
