What Your Relationship with Money Says About You

Your relationship with money dictates how much of it you can attract. 

In my previous blog, we talked about the universal laws of money. We talked about the truths about money and how you create it. 

This time, we’re talking about your relationship with money and how you can make it better. 

So let’s get it started.

Understanding your relationship with money

You can’t understand something you’re not aware of. That’s why you must know what your mindset around money is all about. 

But first, let me tell you another truth. Unlike common beliefs, money is neither evil nor good. 

Money is neutral. 

And that’s the whole truth. 

See, society has given us the idea that money is the root of all evil. Many people use the money to fund evil things. 

Some use it to hurt people. Others are driven to do bad things because of their desire for money. 

But in reality, it also goes the other way. 

neutral relationship with money

People also use the money to be a blessing to others. We feed the hungry and share it with the poor. 

We help out people in need and support schools, businesses, and other causes. 

One problem we all do is we attach too many emotions to money. And this heavily affects how we respond to it when we finally have it. 

But come to think of it, money is a currency that we use in exchange for the value and energy we provide. 

And it’s just that. 

The problem is, most of us attach a specific emotion to money. Because of this, we create blocks that stop us from having a good experience with money. 

That’s what I’m here for. 

My goal is to help you create a better relationship with money.  And the first thing you should know is that you have the power to change it. 

 

Your circle of influence and your relationship with money 

Psychology Today says how you respond to money is the sum of all your experiences. 

Your money mindset is the result of years of conditioning from other people’s traumas and beliefs around money. 

From zero to seven years old, your parents and family members have taught you how you should think about money. 

You’ve seen it in your parent’s relationship. You’ve seen it during family gatherings and events. 

You’ve seen how competitive aunts get every time they compare their children’s lives to others in the family. Or how they talk about the places they’ve traveled to and the new purchases they have. 

You’ve probably heard your parents fight over expenses or worry about how to pay for debt. 

You’ve probably witnessed your mom’s cousin crying during one of their visits asking for a loan. 

Your views about abundance and how you create money is also affected by the circles outside your family.

Society has taught us that people with money, position, and power have better opportunities. 

Religion has taught us that wanting money is the source of all evil. Wanting money leads to greed and injustice. 

That’s what we hear all the time in the news and other media. 

We are also taught to strive for our dreams and reach for the stars. But when we declare what our dreams are, we are often told it’s impossible. 

Or worse, there’s no money in it. 

We are also taught that we need to work hard so that we can earn well when we grow up. 

These mixed signals can lead us to view money in a dichotomy. And it has made it all the more difficult to create a positive relationship with money. 

We’ve attached different meanings and emotions to money instead of treating it as a neutral thing.  

We treat money with fear, shame, and even guilt. 

We treat it as something that’s beyond us, something impossible to achieve. 

Because of this, money and abundance run away from us.

How to change your relationship with money 

Now, what does it mean to have a positive and healthy money relationship?

Dr. Brad Klontz talks about financial health as having a conscious and purposeful relationship with money. The goal is for you to feel satisfied and not overly stressed.

Having a good relationship with money means you spend it based on what’s valuable to you. 

 

relationship with money cash

 

You pay your bills on time. You have little or reasonable debt. You save money to meet your goals, and you have money in the bank for an emergency fund. 

You also think of money as energy which flows into other things. You don’t keep the money to yourself. Instead, you move it around by providing opportunities for others or investing it.

While there are people who already do this, the good news is, you can too. 

That’s the beauty of shifting paradigms. You have the power to change the way you think. 

All you have to do is decide to do so. 

To change your paradigms and beliefs around money, you need to understand its laws first. 

[Read more about the universal laws of creating money here. ]

Here are the steps you need to start making the change you need in your relationship with money. 

 

Be aware of the things you want to change

We cannot improve what we don’t measure. And we cannot change things if we’re not aware of it. 

And for you to change your money story, you must first identify what you need to change. 

Start with your current beliefs around money. Give it some time and think about how money makes you feel. 

Do you feel proud of the money you earn? Do you feel satisfied with how much you’re making? 

Do you feel guilty wanting more in your bank account? Are you comfortable with buying things for yourself? 

Write down your thoughts about what you heard about money growing up. Take note of the thoughts you’ve heard in the past and how your family has reacted. 

How do you usually respond when you get a sizeable amount of money? Do you spend it on one go? Do you keep it in the bank? Do you invest in it? 

Does saving and spending money make you feel good or bad?

Doing this will help you learn and understand what your relationship with money is all about. 

 

Describe and reframe how you think and feel about money

Now that you’ve written and identified your thoughts and feelings about money, the next step is to reframe it. 

There is power in writing thoughts and speaking words aloud. 

Identifying your negative paradigms and rewriting them into positive terms help make the change. 

For one, it strengthens your resolve. Another is it brings your thoughts into reality. 

It also trains your mind into changing its belief systems. The more you talk about these new thoughts, the more you become open to changing them. 

 

Measure and track your expenses 

Cash flow is an important part of understanding your money relationship. It gives you an idea of your spending habits. 

Tracking your habits can help you uncover other money beliefs you may not even be aware of.

You may find that certain triggers push you to buy unnecessary things. It can also explain why you respond to money the way you do. 

Measuring the amount and manner you spend your money can also be the best way to solve your woes around it.

Forgive and be grateful 

Analyzing your money story can be a painful process. 

There will be a huge chance that bad memories come out while you’re listing things down. 

That’s part of the process, and it’s something you also need to do to make the change in your story. 

Forgiving people and yourself is the key to healing. When you forgive, you raise your vibrations and open yourself to new possibilities. 

On the other hand, gratitude helps you be in the moment. It also helps you be more thankful for what you have. 

Gratitude helps you adopt an attitude of appreciation. It highlights your best traits and makes it easier for you to adjust to difficult situations.

 

Get a professional to help you 

Of course, you can do this journey on your own. But it will be a lot easier and faster if you get a professional to help you out.

Coaches and professional financial advisers can help you sort things out much faster. 

Get proven results because of the systems and processes they’ve already created. 

You also get to know more people who have the same challenges as you have. This will make your journey to a better money mindset much easier. 

 

Conclusion

You can start your life with a different mindset, but you can always make a change with your relationship with money. 

All you have to do is decide to do so. 

If you’re ready to change your money story, there’s no better time to start than now.

Creating Money: What You Need to Know

Creating money is one of the major problems we have in life. 

 

Sure, we can create money by having a job, a business, or selling what we are passionate about. 

But why is it so hard to create and keep money in our pockets? Why does it feel so difficult to become millionaires and make money work for you? 

As a money mindset expert, I’ve had many entrepreneurs and clients come to me and ask these questions. 

Their money stories are the same. They make huge amounts of cash through working in corporate or running their own business. 

At the end of the day, it still isn’t enough. 

Today I’m going to share some truths about money and the universal laws on creating money. 

So let’s get it started. 

 

creating money

The Scarcity Mentality and Creating Money 

 

I love money, and I don’t have problems with it. 

Most people think of it that way. But in truth, almost everyone has a scarcity mentality when it comes to money. 

And that’s a huge problem. 

Steven Covey speaks about the scarcity mindset perfectly in his book, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People

For him, the scarcity mentality definition means people only see life as there was only one pie. And if people get a bigger piece of the pie, that’s less for everyone else.

Covey also said people with a scarcity mentality have a difficult time sharing recognition and credit. They see power and profit to be for themselves, and they have a hard time being genuinely happy for other people’s success. 

 

creating money - scarcity mindset

 

What’s ironic is, these people probably don’t even know that they have a scarcity mindset. 

So how do you see the signs?

Having a scarcity mindset only allows you to focus on short term decisions. It also ignores the long term plans since most focus on the now. 

This also gives the person a false sense of importance, thinking the world revolves around them.

And often this leads to feelings for jealousy and sadness whenever things don’t go their way. 

So how does this translate to personal finances and creating money? 

People with this kind of mindset usually feel paranoid and insecure about money. Often they feel like the money they have slops through their fingers. 

They spend their paycheck thinking they’re one day millionaires. They swipe their credit cards for unnecessary stuff. 

They worry about the bills when they come, and wonder why good things happen to someone else except them. 

Do you feel like this? Do you have any money habits that are similar to this?

If you do, then, don’t fret. 

The good news is, you can still make the shift.

But first, let’s talk about the other type of mindset: abundance. 

 

The Abundance Mentality 

 

On the other hand, Steven Covey describes the abundance mentality as a flow of a deep inner sense of personal worth and security. 

They believe that there is plenty of sources to go around. Because of this, it’s easy for them to share prestige, recognition, profit, and decision making. 

This opens possibilities, options, alternatives, and creativity for them. 

 

creating money abundance

 

People with abundant mindsets usually have a positive outlook on life. They believe that problems always come with solutions as long as you’re creative with your approach. 

They also understand the good in long term planning. They don’t believe in instant gratification because they have bigger goals in mind. 

They have the discipline to say no so they could focus on productive things. 

It’s not that they don’t know how to have fun. It’s just that they know what their priorities are. 

When it comes to personal success, they create a positive environment for growth. They also cheer other people on and push them towards success. 

They’re also happy about other peoples’ wins and it doesn’t take away from their own. 

On finances, money comes in easy to them. They attract the amount they want and get it at the time they set. 

For them, money is not something to keep but something to grow. 

That’s the difference between people with an abundance mindset and the scarcity mentality 

 

Scarcity Mindset and Toxic Money 

 

You probably have your mindset when you read this. It might be surprising to realize that you don’t have the right mindset to attract and create money. 

The good news is, it’s not your fault. 

Toxic money is something that society has unconsciously given us through its teachings. 

We were taught at a young age that money is the root of all evil. Money makes people corrupt and does unforgivable things. 

For some reason, some people also relate spirituality and religion to poverty. It’s like we need to let go of the desire for money in exchange for merits for the afterlife. 

The problem here is we need money to survive. Religions also teach us to be prosperous and to help others while we are here on earth. 

Here is where it gets confusing for most. 

These contradicting ideologies tend to give us guilty feelings towards money. It makes us feel that we are greedy and selfish for wanting abundance for ourselves. 

That’s where the toxic money comes from. 

 

toxic money

 

It makes us think that we need to work too hard to deserve every penny we earn. 

It makes us feel shameful to want to have millions in our bank account. 

It’s also the reason why we still feel like a money drain despite all the effort we put in when making money. 

This toxic money mindset is a paradigm that we need to change. 

It’s that little voice that feeds doubt in your mind despite all the books you read and affirmations you say. 

Let me tell you this again. It’s not your fault. And there is a way out.

The Universal Law of Creating Money 

 

Now that you know the two kinds of money mindset, and the reason why nothing seems to work for you. 

Let me tell you about the universal law of creating money. 

It all starts in faith. Yes, you read that right. Faith. 

You need to first believe that everything is possible. 

As I mentioned, religion teaches us about prosperity. That’s what the Divine Source wants for us. 

And for abundance to happen, we need to believe that it will. 

 

universal law of creating money

 

The secret to the universal law of creating money is simple — it begins with you. 

That’s right, you. 

The money you attract is not defined by your race, your culture, nor your religion. Your relationship with money begins with how you respond to it. 

Here are three principles of the universal law of creating money.

 

Everything is energy 

 

Everything around us is energy, from our thoughts, words, and emotions. Light, air, even the stones have energy. 

Years ago, people would have thought of this as woo-woo. But Physics has proven that this is true. 

Albert Einstein said it himself. It’s all about vibrations.

Everything in life is vibration. Everything is energy and that’s all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It cannot be any other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics. – Albert Einstein

Everything around us vibrates, and we use our senses to recognize them. 

That’s how our eyes pick up colors and light, how our nose picks up scents. Even the air carries sound vibrations that enter into our ears and get translated into our brains. 

We also have our sixth sense which tells us about things we can’t perceive with our basic senses. 

This gut feeling, or instinct as we also call it, gives us a different sense of what’s happening around us. 

It connects us to the things we can’t see. 

It’s that warning you get when something’s about to go wrong. It’s that good feeling you get about a deal you’re about to close. 

The point is, we function in a world full of vibrations. It’s just that we may not be fully aware of its existence. 

But now that you know, it will be easier to tap into the different levels of vibrations so you could change the way you think about money.

All energy vibrates at a particular frequency 

 

Not all vibrations are the same. There are low vibrations and high vibrations. And each level affects us in different ways. 

Dr. David Hawkins explains it well in his Scale of Vibration. 

We all function at a certain level of energy. When we’re happy and content, things tend to be lighter and easier. 

When we’re functioning in fear, guilt, or shame, it feels heavy and confusing. 

Money is the value you use in exchange for the energy you exert. It is of high value and high frequency. To attract money, you should also align your vibration to it. 

 

on creating money

 

As I mentioned earlier, your paradigm around money has an impact on how you react with it. 

If you’ve been taught that wanting money means you’re greedy, it can result in feeling shame. 

If you were taught that you should aim to live frugally and not want money, you’ll feel guilty when you’re around money. 

In order to attract abundance and align with money’s frequency, you need to let go of these low vibration frequency. 

Doing so will free you and raise your vibrations to higher ones. These negative emotions can be replaced with feelings of acceptance, willingness, gratitude, and love 

Learn more about David Hawkin’s Scale of Vibration here. 

 

Your thoughts and actions create vibrations and frequency 

 

So how exactly can you change your vibrations and raise them to higher frequencies? 

It’s simple. Take control of your actions and reactions. Make a conscious choice to pick out how you respond to what’s going on around you. 

It all starts with gratitude. 

Complaining attracts more negativity because you focus only on the things that are not happening for you. 

But when you start counting the blessings you have, I promise you, everything will change. 

Your perception dictates how you respond. And when you change the lens you use to see with, everything else will follow. 

Choose to see with eyes of gratitude, and you’ll be surprised by what you see. 

Check out these twelve steps on how to change your vibrations today.

 

Conclusion 

 

The secret to creating money is simple. It all depends on you. 

It doesn’t matter what your background is, or whichever part of the world you’re in. 

What’ matters are how you respond to the challenges around you. It also matters how grateful you are, despite what’s going on.

Money Avatar: Why You Need to Create One for Abundance

Your money avatar can help you create the life you’ve always wanted.

 

As a money mindset expert, I believe that money avatars are necessary to attract abundance.

Today, I’ll be talking about the money avatar, how it can help you reach your goals, and how you can create your own.

money avatar gull khan

What is money avatar?

 

Your money avatar is a personification of what you imagine money would be.

Some like creating an avatar based on a person they love, like a best friend or a motherly figure.

Others like to create animal representations with strong characters like an eagle so it could reach new heights.

It can also be a treasure box full of jewels and precious stones.

The point is, your money avatar should be something that you can imagine in your head. It needs to be something concrete so you can describe and build a relationship with it.

Now you might think creating an avatar sounds a bit woowoo. 

But in truth, any goal without a vision is incomplete. 

That’s why it’s vital for you to create a clear visual representation of your goals. And that includes creating a strong money personification. 

The Law of Attraction says that your thoughts will manifest into reality. This depends on what you continuously think about and what ideas you send out to the universe. 

So if you think good things about your money, then good things will come from it as well. 

Deciding on and creating your money avatar helps you think more positive thoughts about money. 

It also attracts more abundance. 

 

Money avatar - attracting abundance

 

And when you create an image of something you love, it’s easier for you to embrace it and look forward to conversing with it. 

And the real secret to abundance and manifestation is to believe that it defies logic. 

You don’t need to understand where the money is coming from. All you have to do is believe that it’s already available and is waiting for you to get it. 

Trust that the universe will give you what you want without demanding it.

If you believe that your money avatar will always be there when you need it, then it will be. 

Let it be and it will come.

 

Money avatar and its role in attracting money

 

So what’s the role of creating a money avatar? And is it really necessary to attract the kind of abundance you want?

Most people think the law of attraction is all about magic and voodoo. But in reality, the law of attraction is all about science. 

Mindvalley talks about the seven laws of attraction: unwavering desire, imagination, affirmation, focus, profound belief, gratitude, and manifestation. 

Whether you’re trying to manifest money, your dream house, or the perfect partner, you must first have an unwavering desire to make it happen. 

The next thing to do is to imagine it happening already. 

This is where money avatars come into action. Avatars help you visualize and feel the feeling so you could reinforce the desire you already have. 

With the law of attraction comes the law of resonance.

This law states that thoughts and things vibrate at a particular frequency. Like thoughts, money also has its own vibrations. And to access it, you would need to increase your vibrations to match that. 

So, this means to attract money, you must think of money. 

If you think you don’t have money, then you won’t ever have enough. 

The law of attraction is often used to gain abundance in money. But you can also use it to manifest other things like your dream job, a healthier body, and even your ideal partner. 

 

money avatar and dreams

 

Creating your money avatar can help you manifest your desires faster. Because you attach a certain emotion to it, like happiness and excitement, your avatar becomes a familiar face.

You become more open to possibilities and feel less resistant to the things you need to do to make your goal happen. 

This also changes your perception of money and helps you assign a good experience to it. 

When you do, your vibration rises and aligns faster with the things you want to manifest. 

 

Vibrations, alignment, and your avatar 

 

Your avatar acts like a magnet that helps you attract what you want. 

How does that happen? 

What you focus on will grow and prosper. This goes both ways. 

If you focus on the good things, then you will see the good in all things. But if you focus on the negative, then you shouldn’t expect any good to come out of it. 

Creating a money avatar also helps you create a space for new and good things. That’s why decluttering is important. 

Getting rid of the things that no longer serve you helps you make room for new ones. 

 

money avatar declutter

 

Living in the present and being sincerely grateful also helps you attract abundance. When you focus on the now, you savor in the moment. 

Gratitude on the other hand helps you focus your attention on what you have instead of complaining.

Having a money avatar helps you create a more positive relationship and perception about money and abundance in general. 

It serves as a reminder whenever you feel frustrated. 

When you constantly get reminded of how good the universe is, then it’s easier to remember there’s no need to worry. 

The universe and the divine source has your back. 

 

How to create your money avatar 

 

Now that you know how money avatars work, let me tell you how you can make yours today. 

It’s important to note that you must first make the decision to attract abundance your way. And to do this, you must have a concrete goal and a strong intention. 

You must first know what you want to manifest for it to work. And you have to be clear about what you want. 

[Read more here to learn about the power of manifestation]

Here are the steps to making your money avatar. 

 

Step 1: Verbalize what you feel and think about when you hear the word money. 

 

affirmation money avatar

Ask yourself what you think when you hear the word ‘money.’ Is it a positive or a negative thought? 

Next, think about your money goals and the reason why you want money. 

This helps you become more aware of how money makes you feel. Doing so also gives you an idea of what beliefs you need to change. 

 

Step 2: Give your avatar a name

 

Personify your avatar and give it a name. Think of one person that makes you feel good whenever you say it.

You can also think of your avatar as a cute puppy or an adorable cat. Just make sure to choose someone or something that makes you feel good. 

Choose the best option that you can create a good relationship with. 

 

Step 3: Give them a personality. How do they behave, what do they do, etc. 

 

Make your avatar more relatable and give them the traits you want in a person. 

For mine, I named her Michelle. I made her sexy, sassy, and an amazing woman. 

She loves Bollywood, and she’s funny as hell and incredibly intelligent. 

It uplifts me every time I think of her, and it makes me want to be like her too. 

 

Step 4: Make them your best friend. Start seeing them as someone who always has your back.

 

According to Psychology Today, every thought you have sends out energies and wavelengths that eventually create the things you are thinking about. 

So, if you talk to your money avatar in a loving and caring way, chances are it will do the same for you. 

Write down attracting money affirmations to help you know and understand how to attract money fast. 

These affirmations need to be short and easy to remember so you can use it as a reminder as you go about your day. 

You don’t want your outlook about money to be all about greed. Be friends with your avatar and you’ll see how much of a difference it will make. 

And like every healthy relationship, you don’t expect it to always be there. But you can expect them to have your back whenever you need them the most. 

 

Conclusion

 

Most people think making money is difficult and complicated. Truth is, it doesn’t have to be. 

All you have to do is have an unwavering desire to make it happen for you. 

Start with a clear and defined goal and think of a specific amount you want to attract. Then create a money avatar that can help you make the change in your belief system and mindset.

How to Make Money and Remove your Money Blocks

Would you like to know how to make money and keep it flowing?

 

I remember this conversation I had with a good friend a few years back. She told me making money wasn’t her problem. It was keeping it that was so difficult.

She said she felt like there were huge holes in her pocket that no matter how much she earns, nothing is left. 

Most of us feel that way when it comes to money. That’s why we must do money talks. 

So today, I’ll be discussing how to make money and get rid of money blocks. 

 

how to make money

 

What are Money Blocks

 

Money blocks are our core beliefs about money. It dictates our behaviors and expectations about money. 

And when we’re talking about core beliefs, these are experiences that shaped us into who we are today. 

These core beliefs may have been passed on to us through generations. These might be personal traumas and pains we’ve experienced in our lifetime. 

Don’t get me wrong. I may be a money mindset expert now, but I still had to go through a lot to clear the money blocks I had. 

In one of my posts, I talked about my journey from a barrister to a money mindset expert and energy healer. 

And as you can see, it wasn’t easy for me. 

You’d think I know better because I worked as a banking and finance expert. Some would probably think money talk is something natural for me. 

At the time, making money was easy for me. Working in corporate meant there was a compensation package. It meant I didn’t have to worry about where I should get the money from. 

We had human resources to take care of that. 

But everything changed when I started my own business as a coach. 

I was doing great helping others win in their money story. But I was losing in my own game. 

It felt like I was struggling to make ends meet despite all the personal development I’ve been learning. 

All things I touched failed. 

I was becoming frustrated and angry at myself for trying too hard and not getting the results that I wanted. 

Then my aunt told me what I needed to hear. All of these things were happening to me because of my mother. 

And then it dawned on me. I was manifesting the life that my mother lived. All the pain and worry we experienced as a single-parent household was happening to me. 

 

Money Talks and Manifestation

My aunt was right. 

It was like how doctors work. They get to help other people heal. 

But when it comes to their ailments, they have blind spots. 

The same goes for me as a money mindset expert. At the time, I didn’t see what the problems were. I wasn’t even aware of my money blocks. 

I needed someone else to point it out to me so I could become aware of its existence. 

Suddenly it made sense. And instead of becoming frustrated, I laughed. 

I realized how strong my manifestations were. And if I could emulate my mother’s life, surely I could also manifest the ideal life I want for myself and my family. 

This newfound awareness became my saving grace. It helped me find my true north and get a deeper understanding of who I am. 

It also helped me create a process on how to clear the money blocks I had. 

 

5 Common Money Blocks to Get Rid of for Abundance 

 

how to make money - money blocks

 

There are tons of articles and resources that talk about how you can make money fast. 

If you’re looking for ideas, you can check out 32 ways of creating money from Entrepreneur.com 

You can also read how to make money online from NerdWallet.com here. 

But if you don’t get rid of your money blocks, all your efforts might just go to waste. 

Most of us have 5 common money blocks that stop us from becoming successful in making money.

And we’ll discuss it today, one by one. 

 

Block # 1 – Negative feelings about money 

 

Money is connected to our emotions. And most people are not aware of that. 

Some people feel like money is the root of evil and corruption. Others think money equates to being greedy or selfish. 

This negativity towards money can block you from manifesting the money you want. 

 

Block # 2 – Low self-worth 

 

Rewriting your money story requires faith. 

To have faith, you need to believe that you’re worth it. 

The problem is, most of us struggle with self-worth and self-esteem. And we think we don’t have the right to want good things in life. 

Sometimes this mindset also leads people to think that others have an unfair advantage in life. 

You’d often hear them say I wasn’t born rich. Or others got the job because they had good connections. 

For them, people get a good break because of who they are, not what they’re capable of. 

Because of this, they tend to accept their fate instead of doing something to improve their status. 

 

Block # 3 – I don’t deserve the money 

 

Here’s another common money block people encounter: believing that they don’t deserve money. 

Most think that they need to work hard to make money. And if it’s easy, it’s meant to slip as easily from their hands. 

These people think they need to spend long hours at work. They also don’t let go of the money they have and tend to keep it to themselves. 

This judgment we have for ourselves also block abundance and cause us to lose opportunities in life as well. 

 

Block # 4 – Undefined goals 

 

Most people fail to get the money they want because they don’t define their goals. 

This is more like running a race without knowing where the finish line is. 

Vague and undefined money goals make it harder for you to grow the money you earn. It also stops you from creating a good vision of what you want.

 

Block # 5 – Giving too much of yourself 

 

We were taught about sharing and giving since we were young. 

While it’s the common good, it still becomes a problem as we grow older. 

It’s especially challenging when it comes to families. Most are driven by guilt and feel obliged whenever they give money away. 

People with this kind of mindset also find it difficult to receive. And because of that, abundance also becomes elusive to them.

How to resolve and clear money blocks 

 

how to make money - freedom

 

Money blocks are deep-seated in our cores, and it can be difficult to change. 

Take note:  it’s difficult, but not impossible. 

To clear your money blocks and manifest your goals, you need to do three things. You need to be aware that it exists, decide that you want to change, and rewrite your money story. 

Awareness will help you determine the things you need to change. And once you’re aware of these things, you need to make a conscious decision to work on these money blocks. 

Then the final thing to do is write everything that comes to mind when it comes to money. 

Set a five-minute timer and get a pen and paper so you could write these things down. 

Write what money makes you feel, embarrassing things you recall about money, and even the painful experiences you’ve had. 

You’ll be surprised by what will come out. 

 

Conclusion 

 

Money blocks exist, even if you think you don’t have it. 

The key to clearing money blocks is to accept it, be aware of it, and then write down the things that money makes you feel. 

Doing so will help you decide to make the change you need and attract the abundance you deserve in your life.

How I Became an Energy Healer and Money Mindset Expert

Most of you know me as an energy healer and money mindset expert.

It wasn’t an easy journey.

Still, I feel like all the experiences led me to the right path I’m in today.

So I would like to share with you how I went from being a banking and finance lawyer to the energy healer I am today.

Let’s get started.

Memories of my childhood

 

I was born in Manchester to a Muslim family.

A few months after my birth, my father decided to bring the whole family back to Pakistan to start a business.

We were well-off. And in Islam, Muslim men can take more than one wife. That is, as long as he can take care of finances and if the first wife would agree.

My mother didn’t approve of my father having another wife. But still, he went on to marry another woman.

Of course, she wasn’t happy when she found out.

My father tried to control her by holding out on finances. He thought he might convince her with his decision through money, but she held her own.

So she packed her bags and left, taking us with her.

I was five years old when my parents separated. And instead of going back to Manchester, my mother decided to live in London’s East End.

Now if you’re from London, you’d know it’s the rough side of town.

My mother was having a hard time making ends meet. My father still didn’t support her financially. He thought she would change her mind and go back to him.

Instead, she decided she would live life her way.

My brother, on the other hand, had a hard time adjusting to the huge change in our lifestyle. Because of that, he did all sorts of things and went off the rails.

In my case, I wanted to prove to my father that I didn’t need him. So I focused on studying instead. I got straight As, got my law degree, and achieved so many things despite being diagnosed as a severe dyslexic.

I became a barrister with a middle temple in the UK. I also became a New York attorney. I got to work with some of the top law firms in the world.

Eventually, I got accepted by the Law Society and became a fully qualified solicitor with the England and Wales Law Society.

You’d think I’ve got it all, with all the things I’ve achieved. But unfortunately, my mother passed away when I was 21.

It devastated me and led me to question my purpose and find the meaning of my life.

If anything, it made me want to achieve more success. My dyslexia and my mother’s passing pushed me to improve myself more.

I got interested in personal development and learned more about topics like speed reading and mind mapping.

Tony Buzan became one of my early influencers. And then I got introduced to Tony Robbins’ book, Awaken the Giant Within.

At the time, I didn’t know it would be the beginning of my journey as an energy healer and money mindset expert.

 

On Love and Marriage

You’d think I have it all.

An awesome career as a banking and finance lawyer. Earning six figures and traveling the world.

And yes, I was pretty much settled with what I wanted. At the time I felt it was right for me to get married.

Call me crazy, but I decided to go down the traditional route. I had my father choose my first husband, and our marriage was arranged.

He preferred to stay at home as a house husband. I took care of the finances. That was fine with me since I loved working and keeping myself busy.

But things turned for the worse when he started physically abusing me. The more I earned and the more financially dependent he became, the more he became controlling and abusive.

I was already thinking of leaving, but then I got pregnant.

Back then I was too naive. I wanted my baby to have a father and thought he was going to change.

It didn’t happen.

The abuse got worse. He didn’t hold back hurting me, even if I was holding our baby in my arms.

I knew I had enough, so I plucked the courage to call authorities and got him out of my life for good.

It took a lot of courage for me to give love another chance. And one day it came knocking on my door again.

This time around I wanted to make sure that I won’t have him depending on me, especially for finances.

He said he’s been in love with me for the last sixteen years but didn’t have the courage to tell me. So I believed him and took a chance.

Somehow it felt right that time. He took care of me and asked me to stay at home with the kids.

But I felt constrained as it went on. While he wasn’t physically hurting me, he was becoming more and more abusive verbally.

I began to lose confidence and lost my self-worth. I felt like I was nothing.

 

On healing and becoming an energy healer

Looking back, I felt like I was making up for the lost time I had without a family.

I came from a broken home. And I tried my best to prove myself to my father that I got all my success without him.

And since my mother had died early, I felt like there was a need for me to make sure my kids had a real family.

For me, it was enough reason for me to endure all things, even if it meant the loss of my being.

I felt ugly and insecure. The confidence and strength of character I had were slipping away.

This was translating into all the businesses I was trying to set up. I felt so desperate like everything I touched was becoming a failure.

I tried almost all things from MLM to affiliate marketing. Somehow I felt like I was slowly drowning and I don’t have a way to get out.

So I resorted to understanding who I was. I tried to figure out my spirituality. That’s how I got to learn about emotional therapy, also known as Emotional Freedom Technique.

I also got interested in Reiki and intuitive healing from a renowned mentor.

That was when I realized I had a gift as an intuitive energy healer.

 

Embracing the Energy Healer in Me

 

The program I enrolled in lasted for a year.

I was practicing and learning at the same time. The lessons helped me help others who needed healing and energy clearing.

Despite that, I still felt constrained. I felt trapped in an abusive marriage, and I couldn’t help myself heal.

Somehow I felt like an imposter like there was something wrong with me because I couldn’t get out of this marriage.

But you know what? The universe will feel it when you want things to change for you. And it will find ways to help you get out of situations you want to get rid of.

In 2016, I caught my husband cheating with a 19-year-old.

Of course, it was painful and difficult. But it became a reason for us to separate.

We thought separating would help fix things. It didn’t. So we agreed to end things and move on with our lives.

He made things difficult by withdrawing financial support from us. And because I was a property millionaire, I wasn’t eligible for financial support in the UK.

I remember sitting on my dining table, thinking I’ve got no money to my name. All I had was £140 as child benefits every four weeks. I honestly wondered how I was going to make ends meet.

I also remember my aunt consoling me and telling me how much my life reminded her of my mother’s.

That was when I realized that I am my mother’s daughter. What happened to her happened to me.

It was like a vicious cycle. And I knew I had to break it for me and my children’s sake.

I realized I had manifested my mother’s life to become mine. But instead of feeling broken, I honestly felt free.

energy healer - self care

Just imagine, what if I used this power of manifestation to make things happen in my life?

What if I can create a world where everything I put my heart into was made possible?

The thought liberated me so much that I felt as if I was a new person.

This realization enabled me to change my life in just six months!

From then on I decided to work on myself and help others break free from their energy blocks.

I’ve applied the lessons I’ve learned and created a new and unique experience for those who are ready to make a change in their lives.

That’s also the reason why I started a podcast called Money Mindset with Gull Khan.

Here we’ll talk about how you can change your mindset about money and abundance. We’ll also discuss ways to heal yourself and unblock your energy to open new opportunities for yourself.

We’ll also speak with other phenomenal entrepreneurs who overcame their challenges and are now living their best lives.

I am an Anomaly and I Can Help You Make Money

I am an anomaly, and I’m proud of it. 

 

All my life I felt like I was going against the tide. I danced to the beat of my own drum. 

I made my own rules and I felt like I never fit in. And I like it that way. 

Being a misfit has made my life more interesting. And I am grateful for all the opportunities I got because I didn’t fit in.

anomaly

 

I am an anomaly and this is my story 

 

For ten years, I’ve helped a lot of people improve their money story. I have helped people get unstuck and pursue their true passions. 

I’ve become an author and speaker. I’ve also become an intuitive life coach and an energy transformation expert. 

But all these achievements didn’t come easy. 

As I child, I’ve always had a hard time reading. In fact, I couldn’t read full sentences until I was in high school. 

It was only when I turned 19 when I learned I had severe dyslexia. That was when I understood why reading was so hard for me. 

Dyslexia is a learning disorder involving reading difficulty. People diagnosed with dyslexia often have problems identifying speech sounds. They also have a hard time decoding letters and words. 

It affects areas of the brain that process language. 

Dyslexic people usually have normal vision, but we need assistance and support. You can find out more about dyslexia here

Despite having dyslexia, I still managed to get good grades. It also didn’t stop me from getting into law school at Queen Mary, University of London.

I got the title of Barrister with Middle Temple as well as an Attorney with the New York Bar Association later on.

I lost my mother when I was 21. Eight months later, I also lost my younger cousin. He was like a little brother to me. 

I was devastated. I felt as if the world turned its back on me. 

Still, I faced my challenges head-on, continued with life. I pushed forward instead of backing down.

I started traveling the world and gaining new experiences. It was frowned upon in my culture, but I didn’t care.

I knew in my heart it will give me a better understanding of how people and the world worked. 

When the time came for me to settle down, I opted to go for an arranged marriage. 

It was an unexpected move, knowing that I was an independent and strong-willed woman. And yet I chose to follow tradition and married a Muslim man. 

I stood my ground and became a lawyer. Then I had two beautiful children.

Despite my success, I felt like something was missing. My soul was craving for purpose and I felt like I needed to move to another profession. 

So I left my comfortable nine-to-five job. Then I started a career as an Energy Transformation and Money Mindset Expert. 

I never looked back. 

 

Anomalies, Oddballs, and Misfits 

 

Have you ever felt awkward, or like you don’t fit into any cliches or groups?

Well, you’re not alone. 

 

anomaly - art

 

Most of us struggle with fitting into cultural norms. From childhood to adolescence, we all try our best to make friends and connect with others.

We’ve all felt like we’re out of sync with our surroundings. And that’s fine. 

The good news is, most misfits and anomalies are actually more successful.

Merriam-webster defines anomaly as something different, peculiar, or not easily classified. It is also defined as a deviation from the common rule. 

We don’t fit in. We don’t follow the status quo. 

Years ago this trait would have been negative.

People expected you to go with the flow. The community ostracized you if you don’t follow the rules. 

But now, being an anomaly or a misfit means you have a different eye on things. 

It means you’re strong enough to hold your ground. Some may say you’re difficult. Others may say you’re the odd one out. 

But you have the potential to be great because of your strength and resilience. 

 

The Power of the Misfits 

 

You need to be resilient if you want to be successful in life. 

From learning in school, working a job, or starting your own business, you need to have a strong character. 

You’ll experience failure even before you become a success. And to do that, you need to be headstrong, yet flexible with your ways. 

That’s the power of the misfits.

Artists, musicians, entrepreneurs. We were all told one thing: we can’t be successful at what we want to do. 

They say it’s going to be too hard. It will take a lot of time. Or worse, you’ll be dead before you reach success. 

My learning disability, my anomaly, has taught me a lot of lessons in life. It made me strive harder than anyone else. 

People expected me to fail because of my condition.  But in reality, these hardships and challenges made me want to succeed even more. 

The same goes for the most successful people we know of today. 

It is said that Freddie Mercury’s buck teeth helped make his voice unique. 

David Bowie had different colored eyes. This along with his voice made him stand out 

Pokemon inventor Satoshi Tajiri was diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome. And so was the great actor Sir Anthony Hopkins

Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Sir Richard Branson were all misfits. Their crazy ideas changed the landscape of business as we know it. 

Tim Ferris has been beating odds as a child and battling Lyme disease too. Yet, he is one of the world’s best selling author who brought us the magic of The Four Hour Workweek

They all had different views that led them to discover new ways to improve the world as we know it. 

Friends and families would have laughed at their seemingly impossible goals. But in the end, they did the impossible. 

They embraced what made them different and accepted themselves for who they are. Because of that, they changed the world. 

That’s the power of the misfits. 

 

I make money with an anomaly

 

I am an anomaly. And I’ve embraced it fully. 

People have always had expectations of me, and somehow I always go beyond that. 

They expected me to fail because I was dyslexic. They thought I would turn my world upside down because of grief and loss. 

They thought I would stay at a corporate job as a lawyer forever. Naysayers said I would never become as successful as a coach. 

And yet, I am here, surviving and thriving.

Cash flow 101: What You Need to Know About Financial Flow

Cash flow is an essential part of living.

Whether it’s for personal finance or business, you need to learn and understand how the money flows in and out of your life.

The problem is, most people avoid looking at their money. Because of this fear, they become adamant about learning how to improve their cash flow. 

So today, I will be talking about cash flow and how you could improve yours. 

Let’s get started. 

cash flow 101

 

What is cash flow?

 

Cash flow is the movement of money and assets in your business, according to The Balance. 

Ideally, cash flow should go both ways. But if not done right, it can go right out of your hands.

Cash coming in from customers or clients is considered as accounts receivable. Money coming out in the form of payments like expenses, loans, and rent is called accounts payable. 

Accounts receivables are considered as business assets due to their value. It is the total amount owed to you for your products and services. 

On the other hand, accounts payable is all about the company’s obligations. If the payables outweigh the receivables, then it might mean you’re on a negative. 

The same goes for personal finance. 

As an individual, you should be doing cash flow analysis to see if you are truly doing well. This will also help you identify certain habits and beliefs you need to change to achieve abundance. 

 

Common Money Mistakes People Make 

 

We all have certain beliefs about money that affects the way we treat it. These beliefs also often dictate how abundance and wealth go into our lives. 

As a money mindset expert, I’ve spoken to so many people about their cash flow. And here are the top mistakes people often make. 

 

People avoid looking at their money

 

Some people are scared to look at their bank accounts. Some don’t even create a budget or monitor where their money goes. 

This behavior is also called financial denial. 

cash flow - financial denial

Most of the time, people with financial denial had early life experiences where they received mixed signals about money. 

They witnessed parents or guardians having issues with money. This results in a direct avoidance of money. 

They try to minimize money problems by refusing or denying to look at their bank statement and credit card bills. 

People who experience financial denial also experience guilt whenever they get money. 

They often have low self-esteem and have excessive risk aversions especially in investing activities. 

 

People are afraid of spending their money 

 

These people believe they don’t have enough money. Because of this, they resist spending if it’s not for necessities. 

While their bills are paid on time, they have a hard time spending money on what they like. 

They feel guilty about spending on things that make them happy. Because for them, money is not for fun. 

They also tend to stockpile money in order to feel a sense of security.

 

Compulsive Spenders 

 

This is one of the most recognizable money mistakes that people make. It’s also one of the most obvious disorder. 

These people spend too hastily. 

For them, shopping is a form of therapy. They spend to manage negative emotions such as depression and anxiety. 

They buy items even if they don’t need it. And even if they tell themselves to stop, they just can’t say no to the thrill of the next big sale. 

 

Financial Caregivers 

 

Also called financial enablers, these people always give others money whether they afford it or not. 

Financial caregivers often deal with children or extended family members. They often can’t say no whenever they’re asked for money. 

Most often it deals with parents who feel guilty for not spending time with their kids when they were younger. They may be using their wealth to make up for mistakes in the past. 

It’s also possible that they feel guilt or shame for having a better financial position in life.

Because of this, they are often put in an unfavorable position. It also stunts their family’s financial growth and independence.

Money blocks and financial flow 

 

It’s easy to think about wealth and money as something we use to get our wants and needs. 

The problem is, some find it difficult to create wealth and money because of certain beliefs they acquired growing up. 

Most of the beliefs we have about wealth and money come from people we trust. Some of them good, some bad. 

This creates an emotional connection between your subconscious mindset and money. This also causes blocks that prevent you from creating wealth and opportunities for yourself. 

So how do you know if you have a money block?

Here’s a quick task you can do. Take a piece of paper and pen, or a blank notepad on your computer and answer these questions: 

  • How does money make you feel?
  • What did you hear about money growing up? 
  • How do you feel when you get a sizeable amount of money? 
  • What do you do when you get money? 
  • How does saving money make you feel?
  • How does spending money make you feel?

Check your answers and see how you respond. Do you see any shame or guilt? 

The ultimate goal is to create a healthy relationship with money. And to have a good cash flow, you need to unblock your money blocks first.

Understanding your personal cash flow

 

Changing your money habits can be a huge challenge. But it doesn’t mean can’t be done. 

Like anything you want to change, the first thing you need to do is to be aware of how you’re doing. 

That’s why doing a cash flow analysis will help you identify your financial condition. This will also help you determine the changes you need to do to welcome abundance in your life. 

A personal cash flow statement helps you measure the ins and outs of your assets. This will help you understand your cash flow for a specific time. 

The money that comes in includes your salaries and interest from savings accounts. It also includes investment dividends and capital gains from financial securities. 

On the other hand, cash outflow represents all the money that goes out of your account. It includes utility fees, rent and mortgage, groceries, and everything else. 

Doing this will help you see whether you have a negative or positive cash flow. 

Positive cash flow means you’ve got more money coming in than what you’re spending. Negative cash flow means you’re spending more than earning. 

Here’s a free cash flow statement template you can use to get started. 

 

Three steps to improving cash flow and abundance 

 

You will know when you’re ready for abundance and wealth when you accept your current financial situation. 

Here are three steps to help you spend your money to have more money. 

 

Step 1: Open five bank accounts 

 

Creating multiple bank accounts will help you achieve the clarity you need. 

Being transparent with money makes it easier to track. At the same time, you’re building the habit of savings. 

It also helps you enjoy the fruits of your labor and gets rid of the guilt you feel when you’re spending money. 

 

Step 2: Label your accounts accordingly

 

The second step helps you identify your priorities. It also helps you feel more deserving of the money you earn. 

So here are the five labels to give to your accounts. 

  • Account for [Name} money – This is the money you dedicate for yourself and no one else. You also don’t spend nor share this amount. When the time is right, you can use this money to get investments like stocks and bonds. 

cash flow - fun money

  • Account for fun money – This account is for fun purchases you can make for yourself. You can use this money to buy yourself things to make you feel abundant. The money in this account shouldn’t be used to pay for bills or everyday expenses. 
  • Account for large purchases – This account is dedicated to huge purchases like house, cars, phones, or anything that would take you at least six months to save up for. 
  • Account for charity – This money is for helping others. You can use this account to share your blessings with the less fortunate. 
  • Account for debt payment/investment – This account can be used to pay for credit cards and other debts. Once it’s been paid off, you can then use it for investing activities.

 

Step 3: Be consistent on transferring money to these accounts before spending 

 

How much do you need to actually save to be financially free? 

Here’s your quick guide. 

If you’re living from paycheck to paycheck, all you need to do is transfer 1% of your income to each of the accounts. This leaves you with at least 95% of your income for normal living expenses. 

Are you up to date with your bills but struggling to save? 

Take 3-5% of your income and transfer it to each of the accounts. You’ll still be left with 85% of your salary and still get to put in money to the bank.  

If you feel like you’re living a comfortable life, then you can manage with 6-10% of your income to the five accounts. 

This will leave you with at least 50- 70% of your income for daily expenses. 

These steps were designed to help you start saving as a habit while living a comfortable life. It will also help you create golden opportunities that will improve your cash flow.

The Power of Manifestation and How to Make it Work for You

Manifestation is a powerful process that you can use to help you achieve abundance in your life. 

 

Since ancient times, we’ve been doing manifestation practice consciously and unconsciously. Manifestation comes in different forms like meditation, rituals, and prayers. 

Some people think that the process of manifestation involves magic and voodoo. 

Truth is, manifestation empowers us. It gives us a sense of direction. 

Manifesting isn’t the challenge. We do it almost every day.

The real challenge is using manifestation to turn your dreams into reality. 

So today, I will be discussing manifestation, its meaning, and how to make it work for you. 

Manifestation and how it works

 

Manifestation meaning, origins, and early practice 

 

Merriam-webster defines manifestation as a perceptible, outward, or visible expression of thoughts, words, and actions. 

Vocabulary.com also defines it as a public display of emotion or feeling, or something theoretical that is made real. 

If you trace its roots, manifestation and the law of attraction goes back to ancient practices and Eastern teachings. 

Almost all religious leaders discuss the power of your mind, thoughts, and words. Even Buddha is believed to have said, “All that we are is the result of what we have thought.’

But it wasn’t until the 19th century when Madam Helena Petrovna Blavatsky coined the term, ‘law of attraction’. 

According to her, our thoughts and our identities define who we are and what we’re capable of. She also emphasized that we have the ability to shape our reality and unlock the power to move beyond our limitations. 

A 19th-century author, Thomas Troward shared the same sentiments as Madam Blavatsky. He said we will all benefit most when we combine teachings from a range of spiritual traditions. 

Their beliefs have led to contemporary works such as the works of William Walker Atkinson. He has written more than 100 books that talk about how to focus on strengthening willpower, improving focus, and developing magnetism for positivity into people’s lives.

This also led to more books like The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace Delois Wattles,  Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, and The Secret by Rhonda Byrne 

 

How Manifestation Works 

 

Neuropsychiatrist David Kreuger discusses the magic and science of neuroscience and its relationship to manifestation. 

According to him, the mind is an energy field that responds to what you focus on. This creates brain connections and creates energetic frequencies. 

These frequencies are more commonly known as vibrations. 

These vibrations are projected through our thoughts and emotions. It is the basis of our sense of well-being and the source of the things we attract. 

So how does manifestation work?

There are three parts of being a human: the mind, body, and spirit. These three elements work together to define your morals, beliefs, and who you are as a person. 

manifestation balance

Ideally, these elements should work in alignment to make sure you’re living a happy, healthy life. 

Unfortunately, that’s not always the case. 

Living in the physical world can give you stress, anxiety, and trauma. This can lead to a disconnect between the three, and result in frustration for you as a person. 

Our bodies usually manifest the thoughts happening in our minds and spirit. If it’s filled with negative energy, the body can manifest pains and even illnesses. 

Your thoughts and energy can affect your reality. So if you’re constantly feeding negativity into your life, then that’s what you’re going to attract. 

Manifestation is the product of your thoughts and actions. And to truly attract good things in your life, you must first clear your mind. You also need to unblock any negative energy and work on your limiting beliefs. 

Read more about the five common limiting beliefs here. 

 

Manifestation techniques you can use to get your goals 


As a money mindset expert, I always believe that money is the easiest to manifest 

The true challenge lies in clearing your blocks and identifying what you want to manifest. 

Here are a few questions to ask yourself when deciding on what to manifest: 

  • Is it something I desire in your heart of hearts?
  • What is the biggest benefit if I manifest this goal? 
  • Does it feel right for me if I achieve this? 
  • How will others benefit if I achieve this goal? 

Once you answer all these questions, the next step is to choose what you want to manifest. 

You have to have a strong desire for your goal, and believe with the strongest intent that it will happen. 

This strong intent will help you get rid of the blocks that will prevent you from reaching your goals. 

manifestations and affirmations

What are these blocks?

It includes negative mindsets and beliefs you’ve adapted. You also need to cut cords from toxic relationships that drain you of your energy. 

Patience and timing can also be blocks. Becoming impatient with yourself or the results can also waste all your efforts in manifestation. 

Napoleon Hill, author of Think and Grow Rich also talks about a formula that helps with manifestation. 

Here are his six steps to manifesting your desires. 

    1. Focus your attention on your goals. This includes being exact in your desires, like the amount of money you want or the look of that dream house. 
    2. Determine what you’re prepared to offer in exchange for what you want. 
    3. Set an exact date of when you intend for your desire to happen. This helps your goals be more measurable.
    4. Create a concrete plan and put that plan into immediate action
    5. Create a clear statement of what you manifest. Be exact with your desired goals, when you want to have it, and what you’re giving up to make it happen. 
    6. Read your written statement out loud every day. It’s best to say your statement aloud twice a day: one in the morning and another at night. It’s also important to claim it as done and act as if you’ve already achieved this goal.

Here’s a formula you can use for creating your manifestation statement according to Napoleon Hill.

Why you need a manifestation journal

 

A manifestation journal can help you keep track of your goals and see which of them has already been manifested. 

So how does it help you manifest? 

Journaling helps connect the conscious and subconscious and helps you identify limiting beliefs that may come up.

It also helps you analyze your perspective and provides a space for you to vent without judgment. 

A manifestation journal can also help you clear your head and improve self-awareness. 

And most of all, it makes your goals become real and tangible.

5 Limiting Beliefs Around Money That You Need to Get Rid Of

We all have limiting beliefs.

It’s that small voice inside your head that makes you question your decisions. 

It’s that bit of fear that holds you back when you’re trying something new to change things up for the better. 

Sometimes it’s obvious, sometimes you need to dig deep and uncover them. 

But one thing is for certain. These limiting beliefs stop you from living the life you want and deserve. 

So today I will share with you some limiting beliefs especially when it comes to money.

5 Limiting Beliefs You Need to Get Rid Of

 

Identifying limiting beliefs 

 

As they say, it takes a village to raise a child.  And as we grow as a person, we develop certain belief systems that affect how we view the world. 

Psychology Today defines beliefs as a reality-making blueprint. It influences our perceptions, our definitions of morals, shapes our characters, and affects the kind of relationships we choose to have. 

It can also define your direction, determine your health, identify your passions, and affects the course of actions you take in your life. 

Many of these beliefs are handed down from family, community, and culture. 

Limiting beliefs - community

As a part of the social construct, you are conditioned to abide by certain rules, attitudes, mindsets, and other ways of responding to situations and scenarios that happened before. 

While these belief systems may have worked in the past, some of them may not be as good for you today. 

Most of these belief systems have inaccuracies and biased points of view. 

Some may be unique to a particular group, geographic area, historical period, or religious beliefs. 

Other beliefs may have come from traumatic events. These experience can have such a huge emotional impact that may be difficult to fully feel and release. 

These unprocessed emotional residues can remain in the body as somatic memories. It makes the experience so intense that the body often ‘relives’ the experience. 

This often results in emotional stress, energy blocks, and physical tensions that we feel in our mind and body. 

These traumas and experiences can be passed on from one generation to the next, establishing a behavior pattern that can be difficult to get rid of. 

Limiting beliefs also exists when it comes to our money mindset. 

There are tons of money mindsets from our parents, friends, and communities that might have sneaked its way into your belief systems. The irony is, we might not even be aware that we have them. 

 

5 Common Self-Limiting Beliefs You Might Not Know You Have 

 

As a money mindset expert, my goal is to help entrepreneurs break free from their limiting beliefs, reverse their money shame, and blast through their money blocks.  

And in my years of speaking with entrepreneurs, I’ve noticed that most of them are not fully aware of the self-limiting beliefs they have. 

Here is a list of limiting beliefs about money that they shared with me. 

 

I just don’t have the time 

Limiting beliefs - Too little time

This is the most common limiting belief we all have. We just don’t have the time. 

Ask anyone if he wants to be rich, and I’m sure you’ll get a 100% yes. But if you tell people what is required to get there, you’ll surely hear a different thing. 

Do you ever wonder how amazing people like Beyonce, Oprah, and Jeff Bezos achieve success? 

It’s because they make time to learn, to fail, to dream, and to take action. 

Time is the greatest equalizer. All of us only get 24 hours in a day. 

Successful people get to where they are because they choose to spend their time wisely. 

The question is, how do you spend yours?

 

I’m not that good at anything

 

Do you feel like everyone has a special thing, but you don’t? 

Like how this one person can be a wiz in the kitchen, or how your friend is so good at singing. Or how your rich friend seems to have the golden touch. 

You might think it’s something they were born with. Or they just had all the support they needed. Or because they got a head start in life. 

Let me break it to you, my lovely. Do you know why they’re so good at what they do? 

These “experts” were also once beginners. And they’re good at what they do is because of the time and patience they dedicated to their craft. 

They were willing to fail and do it all over again. Being bad at something didn’t stop them from wanting to pursue it. 

Instead, they focus on improving on what they can until they’re happy with the results.

So be a little kinder to yourself and start thinking of how you can be better in time. 

 

I don’t want to be greedy.

Limiting beliefs - money and greed

There’s a common notion that wanting money equates to being greedy. 

For so long, we’ve been taught that abundance is like a pie. Everyone is entitled to his share, but wanting more of it means less for others.  

This mindset has caused so many to want less than they deserve. Truth is, abundance is never-ending. There is more than enough for everyone. 

Wanting money means creating opportunities for yourself. And the more opportunities you create, the more you can help others also attain abundance. 

 

I’m too old to try something new and/or be successful.

 

Most people think that opportunities come when you’re young. But you know what, most millionaires and successful people took a while to hit their mark. 

I believe age is nothing but a number. What matters is how you feel and how you’re growing as you age. 

Starting a business when you’re older doesn’t make it easier. Instead, you are tons wiser and more mature, especially when dealing with the challenges of running a business. 

Check out the infographic below to see what I mean. 

Limiting belief - I'm too old

 

Being successful/having money changes people.

 

In my experience, money is like a magnifying glass. It doesn’t change who you are. Instead, it magnifies who you are. 

If you are good-natured, kind, and giving, then you will become more generous when you get to your goals. 

The same thing goes for the people you’re with. 

Don’t worry about people telling you you’ve changed because of your success. The right circle will be truly happy for you and cheer you on. 

 

Tips on Releasing Limiting Beliefs 

 

Releasing limiting beliefs takes consistency and patience. It also takes courage to acknowledge and accept them. 

The first thing you need to do is to discover the limiting beliefs that hold you back. For this, you would need to write it down to put it into a physical form. 

Next, you need to acknowledge that these limiting beliefs are just that: beliefs. It’s not an absolute truth. The good thing is, you can still change these beliefs to ones that are more favorable for you. 

The key is to analyze yourself and your past to know and understand why you hold these beliefs. 

Here are some questions you can ask yourself. 

  • How true is this belief for you? 
  • Has it stopped you from becoming a better version of yourself?
  • Why do you hold this belief? Was it told to you in childhood or spoken to you by an influential person in your life?
  • What are the valid reasons you must challenge these beliefs? 
  • How can you reframe your belief and turn it into a more positive one?

 

Once you have answered these questions, you will realize the huge impact of these belief systems in your life. 

It also helps you reflect on your potential and makes you realize how much of these are actually holding you back. 

Taking action and committing to it can help solidify your new belief systems. This will also lead you to a better, more abundant life.
