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.
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.

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
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.
