It’s impossible to avoid money.  Whether we love our money or consider it the root of all evil, we all engage with money, every single day.  We buy groceries, pay our mortgage and our bills, we pay for movies and dinner out.  We spend most of our lives working to make money.

I have a great many clients who crave “financial independence” or that holy grail of possible revenue streams, “passive income.”  Don’t get me wrong, financial independence and creating passive streams of income are wonderful intentions!  Unless we create these intentions because, really, we just don’t want to deal with money, ever again.

Who hasn’t had a fantasy of winning the lottery?  It’s enticing to imagine never worrying about money again – to have money be a “non-issue.”  But the fantasy doesn’t hold up.  No matter how much money we have, we still have bills to pay.  We still have to decide what to do with our money, especially if we have a lot of it!  Money is unavoidable.

Still, many of us secretly wish that all money issues would just go away, that we could stop dealing with money altogether.  And this secret wish ensures that we’ll never attract too much of it!

Evelyn Lim over at Attraction Mind Map recently wrote a fantastic article about releasing negative money beliefs.  Money is a fact of life.  Why not embrace money, make friends with it, and allow it to play an uplifting role in our lives?  Why not choose positive beliefs about money?

Here are some examples:

Money is love.

When was the last time you pampered yourself, whether that was with a massage, a yoga class or just a new magazine?  You paid for all of those things – and these were acts of self-love.  What about the last time you brought home flowers for your wife?  Or bought your child a new DVD?  You did these things out of love.  Love doesn’t have to be expressed through money, of course.  But money can be a vehicle for the expression of love.

Money is joy.

When was the last time you went out and had a good time?  Whether your good time was a night out on the town or a nature hike … money played a role, even if that role was just to put gas in your car.  Even if you enjoyed yourself sitting at home with your kids playing cards, you still paid your rent or mortgage so that you have a home!  Joy is, of course, possible without money.  But money can support us in experiencing joy.

Money is growth.

You probably paid for the last book you read, the last workshop you took, the last class you attended.  When you had your most recent enlightening conversation with your best friend, it maybe took place over the phone, which you paid for.  Maybe you’ve downloaded my free reports from my website … chances are, you pay for your Internet connection.  Growth can happen without us paying for it, of course.  But money can serve as an instrument of personal and spiritual growth.

Money is empowerment.

When was the last time you were able to make a choice … because you could afford to?  Empowerment is about having choices available to us.  Money creates options.  We can choose to go on vacation, or to a business conference, or to visit our parents – but only if we can afford to go.  Money allows us to choose organic over conventional products, or energy-efficient light bulbs over traditional models.  Of course, not all of our choices involve money.  But money can make more choices available to us.

Energetically speaking, money is a completely neutral substance.  As conscious creators of our experience, we can assign any meaning to money that serves us.  Money can stand for fear, limitation, and obligation.  Or we can choose money as love, joy, growth or empowerment.

One thing is for sure – money is inevitable.  What beliefs will you choose for your money?  What do you think you will manifest if you choose uplifting money beliefs?

Blessings,
Andrea
