I’m having quite big feelings around money at the moment;
There was one instance where my partners family were debating going on a big family holiday, and I acted really defensive about why they weren’t excited about it because I was judging that they could have this as an option but my family are from a very different class background were a big trip like this would be years planning and saving and would be looking forward to it
I think that I haven’t really been raised in a way of being happy for people with what they have, it was more based in selfishness and don’t be generous – like if I have less and you have more you’ve taken from me. I see this mindset in other members of my family And I also get upset when people can’t just be happy for me about something, it felt really uncomfortable to realise this was what I was doing to others – judging and not celebrating.
Intentional mindset
C – my partners family is going on holiday
T – other peoples fortune is fortune for me
F – excited that they get to do this, I’m excited to share my plans when they happen with other people too
S – elevated high chest, expanded, warm
A – I allow my own feelings and other peoples feelings to exist, I can match other peoples feelings, this is not something that is happening to me, celebration
Answer:
What do you think these big feelings are trying to tell you? Listen. Open up. Often when we notice big feelings our reaction is to try to get away from them or shut them down. Nothing is going wrong here.
Good work noticing that your family and the way you were raised have contributed to your current experience. What do you think you have learned about money? What beliefs do you want to keep? Which ones are no longer serving you?
Your model looks good. Keep playing with thoughts and feeling that resonate with you.
