We all want it, but we’re not all willing to do the work. Like, real, hard, daily grind kind of work. And I’m not just talking about the stuff that gets you paid. If you want to create real wealth, like above your average everyday salary kind of wealth, you need to be willing to do a lot of work on YOU. You requires unlearning a lot of bad habits and old mindsets and re-learning those of someone truly wealthy. Below are three easy ones you can start doing daily to shift your mindset!
1. Make a list of 10 things, every night before bed, that you’re grateful for…yes, I said it. Do your gratitude list. Not just today, EVERY DAY. Watch what sort of abundance starts coming to you when you make a tiny brain waive shift towards being more grateful for you what you already have.
2. List out five reasons that money scares you, stresses you out, makes you angry etc. then flip them around to something positive. For example, I am stressed about not having enough money to make my payroll this week without overdrafting my bank account. Try re-writing to I am so blessed to have employees working in my business helping to drive my dream forward and allowing me the time that I need to work ON my business and not just IN my business. The money will flow freely to me because I have the ability to focus my attention on the right things.
3. Write down five reasons you love money. Not just it pays for stuff, really romanticize it! Because of money I was able to spend the weekend strolling the farmers market with my family, smelling all the fresh produce, enjoying a freshly brewed coffee while holding my spouse’s hand. We watched our kids play on the playground, listened to their laughter and were ale to be truly present in the moment. Money is allowing me to live my best life and spend time on what matters to me most.
Bonus! Time management tip? To truly make a difference you require repeating these steps daily for at least three weeks until it becomes a habit. Set an alarm each evening when you will have 20-30 minutes to sit down and journal your thoughts for the day.
