How to find and dissolve limiting beliefs about money

How to Identify and completely erase Limiting Beliefs about money.

Most Limiting Beliefs about money and success come from the things you saw, heard and experienced around money, success and rich people when you were a child.

Many of those experiences were repeated frequently and with intense emotion, so they became a part of who you are.

However they are quite easy to identify, clear away and replace with something more empowering.

Ask yourself the following two questions.
Answer them with the first thing that comes to mind.

Money is…
Rich people are…

Some of the instant reactions people give me are listed below. Do any of these sound familiar to you?

· Money is hard to come by
· There isn’t enough
· You have to work hard for your money
· Money doesn’t come easily
· You can’t have time and money
· We have always scrimped and saved for everything we have
· Money is isn’t spiritual
· Money is the root of all evil
· Rich people are…. Mean, nasty, tight fisted, crooks
· Money doesn’t buy happiness
· Money doesn’t grow on trees
· I am from a poor, working class background
· Money always seems to slip through my fingers
· You have to rip people off to have money
· Who did they rob to get that nice car/ house? etc- jealousy
· I am unlucky
· The higher you go, the harder you fall
· Things always go wrong for me
· There is never enough to go round
· I can’t afford it

What were your experiences around money as a child?

If you find there are very painful memories and experiences coming up, please seek appropriate professional help for you to deal with them.


Listen to your thoughts and your language.

Do you say any of those phrases in your day-to-day life?

If you do, that could be hampering your ability to allow financial abundance to flow into your life.

If you catch yourself saying any of those phrases, it is important to STOP immediately, REWIND and change it to something more empowering.

For example if you have an immediate, automatic “I can’t afford it” reaction, ask yourself, “If I really wanted that thing, HOW could I afford it?”

Just by changing your language and what you say with EMOTION and FEELING on a regular basis can cause huge shifts in your energy and open up your flow of prosperity.

Most people consider themselves to be honest, genuine, nice people who want to be liked and who want to do business in an ethical and fair way.

If you have a belief that Rich people are all mean, nasty, tight-fisted crooks, who make their money by ripping people off, how are you going to allow yourself to become a rich person?

In my experience rich people are some of the nicest, most helpful, most charitable people I have ever met.


Ask yourself:

“What beliefs about money would serve me better?”

Maybe something like “I am abundant, I am prosperous I am good at managing my money, money flows to me, I make good business decisions.” Choose what fits best for you and start to repeat these phrases. At first this may seem very alien to you and you will probably hear a lot from the little “Gremlin voice” which tells you why that is not a truth for you. It is important to find ways to silence it. We’ll talk more about the Gremlin Voice another day.

Start to take actions to make those beliefs a reality. Maybe that is something a simple as keeping track of your spending or opening a savings account.

You could ask yourself,

“What beliefs would successful, prosperous people have about money?”

You will probably find that most of the beliefs held by successful, wealthy, prosperous people would be the complete opposite of the list above.

They expect things to work out for them and if they don’t they look at what they can learn from the experience and move on.

There is a lot we can learn by looking INTO successful people.


Feel good about your money.

When you think about money, what feelings do you get? Do you feel worried, panicky, sick in the pit of your stomach or that there is not enough?

Have you ever noticed that, when you worry about the lack of money, more things seem to go wrong, more unexpected bills come in and there seems to be a huge hole in your pocket? It seems the more you worry, the worse it gets.

So how do you turn that one around?

Please remember that money is only a tool. It serves You. You don’t serve it.

It is important to get into a good feeling place around money. Be grateful for what you have and what you can do with what you have right now. How much pleasure could you get out of what you have right now?

Think of a time when you did something or you bought something where money (and it may not have been very much) gave you real joy or pleasure. Maybe it was a family outing or a meal with a friend or a holiday or something special you bought for yourself.

The more you can remember those wonderful feelings about money and you can call on them at will, the easier it is to attract things into your life that you want.
