Welcome back to another episode of the Your Money Your Life podcast. I’m your host, Aimee Cerka. We are talking about how to stop being afraid of money today.

Understanding the Fear

So I’ve got one question for you. That’s a really key indicator. If you are actually afraid of money, you’re ready for this?

How do you feel about checking your bank account? What emotions come up? Do you feel pain somewhere? Is there a headache? Do you fear, anxiety?

And this doesn’t even matter what’s actually going on in the bank account. But if I tell you to go check your bank account right now, what comes up? Do you avoid checking it? Because you don’t want to know? Do you avoid checking it because you know the bills are paid? That’s fine.

Do you avoid checking it in the finances because it’s complicated? And they, whoever they might be your spouse most likely, they handle it what comes up for you now there is that’s probably the main one but the other ways this shows up as well. Is how do you feel when you go to pay a bill?

You know I’m in Texas and it’s pretty hot here in the summer. Electricity bills get kind of high. So how do you feel when you go to pay that really high bill? Whatever it might be? You’re not in the hot Texas he might not be your electricity bill.

What about taxes and the IRS? Do you have like anxiety fear the headaches the pains when emotion comes up for you? We talk about that we talk about paying taxes. Can you feel joy and happiness about those things? Yeah, you actually can.

Your Money Mindset Matters

And if that fear of money and freedom of money is how I’m kind of phrasing it today, if you have that, if it’s showing up. And I think if we’re all transparent, to some degree, I think one of those, you feel it a little bit. Now, what you do about it, is what we’re talking about him.

So I want you to have three sheets of paper. Now, obviously, if you’re driving while you’re listening to this, or doing the dishes or whatever, either take a mental note or grant, come back and listen to it again, we need three sheets of paper. Okay.

Sheet 1: Current Feelings

So on the first sheet, I want you to write out how you feel, thinking about your bank account. All right, those emotions that I talked about those questions that I had for you, whatever comes up, if you feel it, you know, in the pit of your stomach, if you feel it in your chest, and you can’t breathe, your lower back hurts, wherever that happens. Whatever’s going on, write that out for a sheet of paper, okay.

And if you can identify, like why you feel that way, if there is a story, a memory, a flashback, something pops up for you, and you’re like, that’s why write that down on the first sheet of paper.

Sheet 2: Desired Feelings

And then the second sheet of paper, I want you to write how you want to feel. Might sound a little crazy to say that you want to feel joy, and happiness about paying a tax bill or paying a bill in general. But you can.

And the reason that we want that is because you know, we’ve talked about that money has lifted vibration to it. And when we have that positive relationship with money, and we’re grateful for it, we have gratitude about your finances, and the money, like you bring more to you. So you want to feel that joy in that abundance and that gratitude because you have the ability to pay that bill and that is what I want you to write second page.

So how you want to feel: I want to feel joy, I want to feel abundant, I want to feel grateful, I want to feel happiness when I pay my bills.

Sheet 3: Affirming Change

And then finally, on the third sheet of paper, I want you to write I am joyful when I’m looking at my bank account. I am abundant. I feel abundant. When I pay the tax bill, I feel gratitude when I check my bank account, I feel happiness when I take care of the bills.

So on the third sheet of paper, we’re writing it as if it’s there, we’ve it’s arrived. So first sheet, how we’re feeling currently, the second sheet how we want to feel, the third sheet you are you are joyful, you are grateful you are happy when it comes to looking at your bank account or paying the bill whatever it might be.

Take Action Today

So your challenge for today I want you to send me a message on Instagram and let me know what did you write on the third sheet of paper. And as a bonus, if this was shocking to you, I want to hear that as well because so many of us especially in the personal development space. Think that we have, myself included, in this like we’ve got a handle on things and then all of a sudden this like next layer opens up and you’re like “oh my goodness, I still have so much work to do.“
