I had an interesting conversation with a friend recently where we were very transparent with each other about money and it was really refreshing and nice – I’ve only really ever talked to one or two people transparently about money and I’ve been feeling some anxiety about money and not feeling like I have enough and pressures around taking care of other people and generally living outside of my means and always in the next paycheck
After this conversation I feel like wow I actually earn enough, I have systems with my money, in saving for long term, I’m enjoying short term like travelling, I can do nice things with the people I love, and I can do nice things for the people I love when they are in a different financial position to me – I’m secure! I have financial security and I’m financially independent from parents etc, I’m doing really well
I think there isn’t a magical number that I will earn that will mean my brain feels secure around money all the time but I’m glad I got a lot of stuff off my chest to hear and she really helped me see the reality of my situation
Answer:
Celebrating with you! How does it feel to believe that you are secure? Notice what you have created in order to get where you are.
Notice how interesting it is that the amount of money in our bank account didn’t change during the conversation with your friend, only your thoughts about it. What powerful money thoughts do you have now? How can you continue to use them to fuel you no matter what?
