As we step into a new year filled with potential, it’s time to confront one of the most impactful relationships in your life: your relationship with money.
For many, this connection is laced with stress, guilt, or even avoidance. Yet, healing your relationship with money can unlock not just financial freedom but a profound sense of peace, joy, and abundance.
In this post, we’ll dive into the root causes of money blocks, explore actionable steps to rewrite your money story, and provide affirmations and journaling prompts to guide you on your journey.
By the end, you’ll have a clearer path to financial empowerment in 2025 and beyond.
What Is Your Relationship with Money?
Your relationship with money is shaped by your beliefs, emotions, and habits. For many, these are deeply influenced by childhood experiences, cultural narratives, or past financial mistakes.
If you’ve ever found yourself thinking, “I’m not good with money” or “I’ll never be wealthy”, you’re not alone.
These thoughts are signs of what we call money blocks—limiting beliefs that hold you back from financial abundance.
Uncovering the Root Causes of Money Blocks
To heal your relationship with money, it’s essential to understand the root causes of your financial struggles. Ask yourself:
- What did I learn about money growing up?
- Were my parents or guardians savers, spenders, or worriers about money?
- Do I associate money with stress, happiness, or power?
For example, if you grew up in a household where money was a constant source of stress, you might have developed an unconscious belief that money equals anxiety.
Similarly, if wealth was seen as something “bad” or only for “greedy people,” you may resist pursuing financial success, even subconsciously.
How to Heal Your Relationship with Money
Healing your money story requires a combination of mindset shifts, emotional work, and practical actions. Let’s break it down into manageable steps:
1. Acknowledge Your Current Money Story
The first step is to recognize the beliefs and habits you currently have around money. Reflect on these journaling prompts:
- What’s the first word that comes to mind when I think about money?
- What do I believe about wealthy people?
- How does money make me feel—excited, anxious, neutral?
Once you’ve written your answers, look for patterns. Do your beliefs empower or limit you?
2. Rewrite Your Money Story
Your past does not define your future. Once you’ve identified your money blocks, actively replace them with empowering beliefs. For example:
- Replace “I’ll never get out of debt” with “I am capable of creating a financial plan to clear my debt.”
- Swap “I’m not good with money” for “I am learning to manage my money wisely.”
Create a new narrative about money—one where you are in control, worthy, and abundant.
3. Practice Daily Affirmations
Affirmations are powerful tools to rewire your subconscious mind. Incorporate these affirmations into your daily routine:
- “Money flows to me effortlessly and abundantly.”
- “I am worthy of financial success and security.”
- “I attract opportunities to grow my wealth.”
Repeat these affirmations out loud or write them down in a journal to solidify your new money mindset.
4. Take Practical Steps Towards Financial Healing
Mindset shifts are crucial, but they must be paired with actionable steps. Here are a few ideas:
- Create a Budget: Understanding your income and expenses can bring clarity and control.
- Start Saving: Even if it’s a small amount, consistent saving builds confidence.
- Seek Financial Education: Read books, take courses, or hire a financial coach to improve your financial literacy.
- Invest in Your Future: Explore investment opportunities that align with your goals.
Lessons from My Own Money Journey
Let me share a personal story. For years, I struggled with the belief that money was hard to come by. This mindset kept me stuck in a cycle of scarcity, no matter how much I earned. It wasn’t until I began journaling about my fears and practicing affirmations that things began to shift.
One of my clients, Sarah, had a similar journey. She came to me overwhelmed by debt and ashamed of her financial situation. Together, we identified her money blocks and created a plan. Over time, she not only paid off her debt but also started a side business that now generates consistent income.

The concept of self-focus is frequently misconstrued, shrouded in myths and misconceptions. Far too often, it is mislabeled as narcissism, painting a picture of a self-absorbed individual who is devoid of empathy and consumed by a superficial sense of self-importance.
“But I am focusing on myself,” you might protest, citing massages, healthy eating, or even journaling. Yet, if true abundance eludes you, it’s time to examine the yardstick against which you’re measuring success. Is it genuinely yours, or is it borrowed from society’s skewed metrics?
Abundance isn’t a treasure at journey’s end; it’s a companion that walks beside us when we tread the path of self-discovery. Focusing on ourselves isn’t about building walls; it’s about aligning our inner truth with the world around us. In this harmony lies true wealth, not just materially but spiritually and emotionally. This alignment is the gateway to abundance, where what we give and receive resonates with the deepest parts of our being, creating a life not just lived, but cherished!

Another useful tool for letting go of negative emotions and beliefs is affirmations. Affirmations are positive statements that you repeat to yourself to create a new belief or perspective. For example, if you struggle with feelings of unworthiness, you could repeat the affirmation, “I am worthy of love and abundance.” By repeating this affirmation regularly, you begin to shift your mindset and replace negative beliefs with positive ones.
Another way to apply Divine Source Energy to specific challenges is through prayer. When we pray, we are opening ourselves up to the wisdom and guidance of a higher power. By asking for help and guidance, we are surrendering our fears and worries and allowing Divine Source Energy to work on our behalf.
In our fast-paced, modern world, it’s easy to get lost in the chaos and lose sight of the bigger picture. We can become overwhelmed by the challenges and struggles that we face in our daily lives. It’s in these moments that we need to remember the power of Divine Source Energy and the transformative effect it can have on our lives.

Stop trying to copy people. You can be inspired by the work of someone else and learn new skills from them but in the end, you have to do something unique to you. God has a purpose for you that can not be fulfilled by anyone else on this planet, you are his amazing masterpiece and he did not create you by mistake. There is a plan for every one of us and even though we do not have the mental capacity to truly understand this plan, we must trust that universal energy knows what they are doing and that their timing is always right.
Stop treating yourself like a second-class citizen and instead work on the things you believe you need to be better at for yourself, not for anyone else. Learn that skill you want to learn, try new hobbies, work on handling your emotions better and on any other shortcoming you believe you have to fix.
Similarly, Universal energy does not condemn you for the mistakes or wrong turns you have made in life and is always ready to put you back on the right track. There is nothing you can achieve that will make God or Universal energy love you more and there is nothing you can do that will make them hate you or dislike you either however that does not change karmic debt and the laws of sowing and reaping so if you are committing crimes or if you are attracting low vibrational energy then what you give is what you get back in return, that is universal and is the consequence of your own actions, not God punishing you.
This morning I woke up and I felt like I looked beautiful. My abusive ex-husband was a textbook narcissist and being married to him was the worst seven years of my life so it took me a long time to get where I am today but this morning, I looked in the mirror and told myself that I was beautiful and that I was gorgeous. And these were not affirmations, this was me appreciating my physical body for where she is now. Of course there are still things I would like to achieve, I still want to be a smaller size and I would still like to be healthier but overall I appreciated myself and I gave her all the love and compassion that I hardly ever showed her in the past. I found that I was always looking at my body when I was uncomfortable and it was in these uncomfortable moments that I focused on the negatives and found one imperfection or another with myself but now, especially recently, I tell myself how beautiful I am and I allow myself focus on the positive parts and the things I love about my physical body. I appreciate things about myself that I genuinely and truthfully love and refuse to let these negative imperfections make me feel less than who I am. I will always strive to improve and be a better version of myself but that does not change the fact that I am perfect just the way I am. There are so many things we can improve on in life and these things are ongoing but when you look in the mirror I want you to see yourself physically, emotionally, and spiritually, and be proud of who you are, no matter your emotional scars. When I look in the mirror I allow myself to see this strong independent woman and I love her and where she is now no matter what I have been through or the emotional scars that I have, I am extremely proud of myself and that’s how you need to be with yourself as well.
Appreciate yourself for getting up every time you fell and for all the hardships you have overcome to get to where you are now and once you start recognizing that you are a miracle and you begin to recognize your higher self constantly telling you how amazing you are, you are going to see your life transform and you are going to start to appreciate yourself for the things you are currently taking for granted. You are amazing and you deserve all the miracles, abundance, and happiness heading your way and if you do not allow yourself to feel like you deserve everything that the universe has to offer then you will self-sabotage, in one form of your wealth or the other. Strive to be a better person than you were yesterday, to help more people today than you did yesterday, to control your emotions better than you did yesterday, and as always, continue to improve yourself daily. Build a better relationship with yourself and watch how having a healthy, happy relationship with yourself would raise your vibration and steer abundance and wealth in your direction.
Personally, I have had to deal with a lot of ugly moments in my life and as a British-born Pakistani woman, there has always been some stigma attached to these moments from my community. I have been divorced twice and in both marriages, I dealt with some form of abuse – physical abuse from my first husband and verbal, emotional, and financial abuse from my second one who eventually left me with the most trauma, emotionally and energetically; One of the things he said to me towards the end, after I had caught him cheating and he had confessed to various other awful things he had done, was that no one would say anything to him even after what he had done to me and all fingers would eventually end up pointing in my direction since I was the one who had been divorced before.

Keep your vibration elevated, and the only way you can keep your vibration elevated is by continuously being in a state of gratitude even for the things that you should ordinarily not be grateful for. It is easy to show gratitude when things are going your way in life but it is important to show gratitude when you do not physically see those good results or when the shame of your past is being brought in front of you. Instead of being angry at the person that is trying to make you feel small, cut costs, allow yourself to send them love and blessings instead of animosity, and move on. When this incident at the embassy happened to me, I could have gone back into victim mode and allowed myself to get upset, yet I chose to forgive and move past this individual as well as show gratitude for all the experiences that have made me who I am today. And when you are in that state of gratitude and love, not just towards divine energy but to yourself as well, that is when you begin to open yourself up to abundance in all areas of your life.

People ask why a nice person doesn’t last and good things don’t happen to good people. Good things do happen to good people, good people just have to be more vigilant and be more mindful so they don’t let people manipulate them. it is one of the reasons why you have to be really careful about who you allow in your space .You have to be very careful with your time.
I remember one time, this uncle of mine who’s passed away now, he was a younger brother of hers and he demanded, he didn’t ask ,that she give him 5,000 pounds. This was about 30 years ago, I was about to enter into my teenage years. And I remember this clearly because he asked her for this huge amount of money which was 5,000 pounds, which was a lot of money for a woman who was working God knows how many hours at this factory and making only a hundred pounds a week. If she had the money, she would definitely send it but she didn’t have the money so she said no and he got so upset with her, how dare she say no to him when she has helped everybody else out, how she has never helped him out, he didn’t speak to her for years thereafter and I found out that even though he was not asking, he was demanding, she helped because she was so used to helping people.
I was doing enough as it is and it was very clear and the way it was requested was similar to the tone that my uncle used on my mother a while ago where it was demanded, I wasn’t asked if I could loan it to them or if I could help them. You need to give yourself permission to say no, plain and simple, when you learn to say no, that becomes a very empowering skill that you have.
I hope we now understand how boundaries enable our self care and self love and how they go hand in hand in your journey to becoming wealthy. If you don’t love yourself enough to value your time, then you are never going to become wealthy.
