3 things (money stories) you say and think about money that negatively shape your financial reality (and why).
Money is the root of all evil.
Money can’t buy happiness.
Money doesn’t grow on trees.
What are money stories
Money stories – the things we tell ourselves about money on repeat – often come from our parents. Either from things they said, how they treated money or a situation we were in that involved money when we were young (e.g. a parent’s sudden job loss).
No, you can’t wish money into your life on beliefs alone. But the beliefs are feeding that confirmation bias – and that’s what is creating your financial reality.
Skeptical? Good. I think that’s healthy. Try it for yourself. Swap negative money stories for something different for a month and see where you are at the end of it.
Beliefs are just your most repeated thoughts and you can create new ones by repeating new thoughts like this.
Money story swaps
Here are some swaps for the money stories above
💰Money is the root of all evil. Instead of defaulting to the negative things associated with money, imagine all the good things you can do with the money in your life and create a new money story around that.
💸Money doesn’t grow on trees. Instead of scarcity stories, try on the idea that money is literally everywhere. There is more than enough for you to have more.
🤑Money can’t buy happiness. Money can buy stability, choice, and peace of mind. This means you’re free to live your life’s true purpose. It’s not the source of happiness but it has a contribution to make.
