What is your money story?
It’s not your fault.
You can change it.
Deep breath.
I used to teach a workshop call Monetize Your Creativity™ where you learn how to make money doing what you love. The first step is to look at what you are saying to yourself about money. Then, from there, you can consciously begin to change your relationship with money. When you change your story around money, more money will come.
What do I mean by money story?
Your money story is your thoughts and attitude about money that you have whether you are conscious of it or not. So you wonder why no matter how many great intentions you have to save your money, you end up spending it at the bar or shopping and this ends up making you feel like a failure, or you don’t deserve it or are worth it.
Maybe in your story you don’t think you can make it working for yourself as an artist… or you are someone who always buys things based on price rather than really allowing yourself to have what you truly desire. Do you use the word broke or cheap?!
Why is it important to know your money story?
The results in your life are a direct reflection of the thoughts you are thinking. You are either creating your life by design of by default, even when it comes to the amount of money you allow yourself to make or even love and material items.
You wont let yourself become something that you view as bad, negative, etc… so if your money story has a perspective of rich people that is negative, why would you allow yourself to be that?
Most of the time, our stories are not ours -they are passed down to us from our childhood experiences and we carry them into our own lives without conscious choice. It’s not your fault. It’s important to identify what isn’t yours so you can transform it and the good news is – you can change it!
What happens when you don’t look at your thoughts?
You stay stuck, repeating the same thing over and over.
You live chasing the money and not the feeling you get when you are really truly creating.
You have to stay working in a job that isn’t fulfilling but pays the bills.You only allow yourself to make a certain amount, live at a certain frequency, and never break out of that.
