NOTICE YOUR FEELINGS ABOUT MONEY.
When you log in to your online bank accounts, how
do you feel – good or bad? Do you feel frustrated,
demoralised or embarrassed? Don’t ignore your
feelings, but pay attention to it and your money.
You don’t also have to feel bad or frustrated if you
don’t have a lot of money. If you’re always feeling bad,
you will just keep living in the scarcity mindset and in
a continuous cycle, thinking of not getting or having
enough. Eventually, you will develop so much fear about
how much little you have. Instead of this, you must feel
happy and proud of what you have so that it will grow.
DON’T COMPARE WHAT YOU HAVE WITH
OTHERS.
Do not fall into the trap of comparing your current state
with colleagues, high school classmates or friends. If
you do, you may be left feeling jealous, desperate and
envious because you’re always thinking that they’re
doing better than you do.
It is not the right way to go, but you should think about
your personal goals. You don’t have the same ones as
others do, so stop comparing yourself to them. If you
keep doing it, you will not be able to shift your mindset
from being insecure to being appreciative of your effort
to having what you have now.
FEARS ARE REAL, BUT DON’T LET THEM
AFFECT YOUR FUTURE.
You might be fearing something today, but you don’t have
to think that it will scare you forever. Determine what you
fear when it comes to money. Do you think that you’ll run
out of it? Do you fear that you’ll never have enough?
If you find yourself always fearing of not having enough
money, you might always be hoarding money for your
protection.
Don’t live with fear; it is not the place you deserve. Don’t
be afraid of losing money. Instead, you must address your
fears so that you can work through them.
CHANGE YOUR MINDSET IF IT’S NOT
WORKING IN YOUR FAVOUR.
Instead, you must think and believe what you want
about money. So, if you want to have lots of it, don’t
apologise for it but think why you want it.
