It’s easy to fixate on MONEY as the answer to your problems. ut often MONEY is taking the place of what we really need. It is an emotional placeholder for something deeper and less tangible that we are looking for out in the world. Something less transactional and something more enduring.

First, calm your mind.
u and the ticking clock of your finances chimes loudly in your ear to become focused on the issues at hand. When you are focusing on the financial storm outside of you, you are oblivious to the inner guidance within you, you are unaware of the opportunities that surround you, and you are weighed down by fear to move in a helpful direction. Y woes around?
Count your blessings.
It’s easy in our bottom line culture to only count your bank account as resources available to you. Yet when you step back and widen your gaze, you might see that you have more than you think you have.
The MONEY dump
Have you ever felt that drop in the pit of your stomach after dropping some MONEY on something, say, a car repair or even a fun vacation? shrink your bank account. Maybe you flash on someday there being only one zero in your account with no other numbers to keep it company. Absolute zero.
Release regrets.
MONEY mindset work requires a deep examination of the choices you make, both with your financial resources but also your energetic ones.
Money does not equal love.
It can be so many forms of chasing your emotional tail when it comes to MONEY and your creative career. Each accomplishment pushing a key part of your creative vision further away. Or so it seems.
Trust the exhale.
Say, you plop a big chunk of change down on something you love, that vintage album you could never find, that apartment you swore you could never afford, that dream trip that finally felt right. ike they are the new normal.
MONEY is fun.
It’s when the path to financial abundance becomes heavy and the steps are weary that the flow stops flowing. MONEY is meant to have an element of fun to it. A sense of peace. A moment of delight.
Just gotta clean house.
When in pursuit of your money goal, it may be that the effort feels all-consuming. The hunger is real and the achievement is all you can see. But there’s more.
Build what you wish you could see.
Stretch your imagination to create what does not yet exist. As a creative, this is probably something you do all the time, creating sandcastles in the sky and magical creatures that never walked the earth. Yet when it comes to our money, we somehow think that this mental superpower, our imagination, is suspect when telling us more is coming than we know.
