I have written many post on the values of daily affirmations when it comes to shifting my relationship within myself from body image to self-confidence.   As I started to tackle on this area of money, I was curious to see if affirmations can be transferable tools. I am happy to report YES it is!

My Story

At the advise of a money mentor, who encouraged me to write what were my money messages and stories.   I started to see a pattern in my thought process that reflected my daily actions around money. The areas that I felt powerless over because I was acting on autopilot, I  could see the core belief being cemented into my money story.

A sample of my money messages were:

• Money was bad and a loaded subject and should be avoided at all times. This include my fear over looking at my bank and credit card statement. I was very quick to spend it all in small vices (coffee, eating out, classes, etc).  Living paycheck to paycheck was the norm.
• I am a women which meant that I will be saved by Prince Charming, therefore whatever I earn is really play money.  How this play out is in the areas that I spend my money, everything but secured debt (purchasing a house) or investments including my retirement account.  For some odd reason, I have been holding on to this idea that I would be save.  Therefore there is no need for me to get savvy around money or to think about my own long-term.  (NOTE: If you are struggling with this belief make sure to read “Prince Charming Isn’t Coming” right NOW and then check out Barbara Stanny’s work).

Solution/ Money Mantras

As you know I am true believer that we have to shift our insides to reflects our outside and vice-versa.  Our thoughts can have the power to dictate our reality.   As a fabulous conjurer that I am, it turns out that March’s Shrink Session was all about the Benjamins.  Actually it was how we can shift our relationship with money, our thought patterns  from a place of scarcity and lack into a place of abundance. Therefore the affirmations were about to provide new money messages into our consciousness.

Here are some of my new favorite money mantra’s  from Shrink Session this March thanks to Ms. Stuts:

• I circulate my gifts. This is big when I think about money as a fluid gift from the universe; it helps me with my tithing practice
• I focus on ABUNDANCE. Yup that is where my focus lies not on scarcity and what I don’t have.
• I am a money magnet. Yup, you know I am.

I have also taken the time to create some of my own personalized Moneyantra (get it Money + Mantra= Moneyantra):

• I am smart, financially savvy women
• I conjure all of my desires and more
• I am a six-figure women
• I have clarity when it comes to my finances
