I’ve spoken to a number of people recently who, despite being stable financially, worry a lot about money and their future. In this episode, I provide some suggestions for letting go of money worries.
Highlights
- When you start worrying about money, ask yourself, “What am I afraid will happen if I run out of money?”
- Worrying about money makes it harder to generate money. I explain why.
- Worrying about your money can have a negative effect on your health.
- You can’t just stop worrying about money, you have to teach your brain a new response to how you usually think about money. I give examples.
- If you are worried about your financial future, you are making up a story that doesn’t exist. Tell a different story.
- You need to develop the skills that are necessary to make more money. This includes financial skills, business skills, and more.
- You can’t fulfill your dreams of a positive future unless you understand the habits that have gotten you where you are.
- Create a superhero in your mind who keeps telling you that you’re doing fine no matter what you’re telling yourself.
- You have the power to change your life if you’re willing to become aware of your habits and change the ones that aren’t serving you.
- Start noticing how you talk to yourself and how you worry about money. When you notice how you are worrying, take a few deep belly breaths and tell yourself something positive about what you’re doing.
- Your brain is wired to see the negative. This was originally a survival technique.
- It’s a matter of teaching your brain how to re-perceive where you are.
