Let’s get tactical and discuss the steps to regain control over your money.
Having the right environments is super important. That’s why you hear a lot about decluttering.
If you live in a home that is filled with clothes that you don’t wear and don’t like, boxes with magazines and souvenirs, pieces of furniture that don’t add anything to the comfort of your physical space, YOU CAN change it!
If you don’t have an environment that supports what you want to think, feel, create, and experience, remind yourself that YOU CAN change it.
If you have a relationship that doesn’t make you feel supported, loved, and appreciated, that doesn’t spark joy in you – YOU CAN change it.
If you feel that you got yourself into a “money prison” because of accumulated debt, or unhealthy spending habits, or arguing with your partner about excessive spending and feeling insecure about your financial future – YOU CAN change it too!
You can CHOOSE to be clear and intentional with your choices and change what’s not working for you.
You can move away or towards a different environment, or you can create a new energy in your current environment.
And whatever you want to change, start changing NOW by letting go of what’s not working for YOU!
You want to make a big leap? Great, go for it!
Feel like starting with small changes? Awesome! Baby steps are great! It’s how you implement BIG changes without feeling overwhelmed.
Life is what you choose to make of it. Whether it’s your physical environment, relationship, work, or money.
Living with your focus on past mistakes drains your energy, deflates your confidence, blocks the flow of wealth, joy, and new opportunities in your life!
That’s why decluttering your mental space is super important!
I recall the time in my life when I felt that I must change my environments – my work, my marriage, my financial habits (e.g. shopping therapy) – because I felt empty inside…I felt just existing, going through life instead of living it.
BUT I was afraid to change.
“What if”, “not yet”, and “not now” thinking kept me stuck in the environments that felt like desert. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a support system at that time.
My FEAR of “not having enough”, not being able to support myself, feeling financially insecure if I leave my marriage, kept me in a prison of my own making for years.
Until one day…I decided to change.
First, I asked myself “What is the worst thing that may happen?” Once I reconciled with the answer to this question, fear of consequences couldn’t keep me hostage anymore.
Then I asked “Why it may not be true that I cannot be financially secure without a man?” And the answers started pouring from my heart onto my journal.
And then…I asked “What needs to happen NOW so that I feel more ease, joy, and excitement about my life?” And the answer was clear and loud…
DARE TO CHANGE.
If you tolerate environments that make you feel overwhelmed, not capable, not supported; the environments that deflate your confidence and sense of personal power – don’ wait for a better time. Or better circumstances. Or a “prince charming” to save you.
DO NOT WAIT TO BE SAVED. YOU ARE YOUR SAVER.
Change might challenge you. You might need to juggle some things and make a few adjustments…
BUT it’s possible. And often necessary.
So that you step into your full power. Get in control of your money. Charge of your financial destiny.
And the first step is to attend to your environments and declutter your space.
Next I’ll share the next step to regain control over your money.
