WEBVTT
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.429
we hear these things which have us feel and believe that like, again, like it's sending you a message or a signal that it's wrong.
00:00:07.549 --> 00:00:09.051
There's something wrong with wanting money.
00:00:09.211 --> 00:00:11.733
It's going to make you somehow a bad person, right?
00:00:11.894 --> 00:00:17.361
And if you believe that, well, then, you know, the job of your subconscious mind is to protect you.
00:00:17.681 --> 00:00:28.954
So if there's a belief that it's, you know, somehow, right, you having more money is going to make you a bad person or suddenly you're going to be judged by others, right?
00:00:28.995 --> 00:00:29.935
Well, we don't want that.
00:00:29.935 --> 00:00:34.240
What if there are things we never had the opportunity to learn?
00:00:34.401 --> 00:00:42.268
We've all been to school or training, but there are things they never taught us that actually make a powerful difference in life.
00:00:42.429 --> 00:00:47.954
I'm here to share with you all the pieces you've been missing, mindset, health, success, and more.
00:00:48.195 --> 00:00:51.237
And we'll all learn together from guests along the way.
00:00:51.258 --> 00:00:58.064
We may not have learned it the traditional way, but oh my goodness, let's keep learning how to do things differently.
00:00:59.265 --> 00:01:01.095
OMG, Teach Me Tribe.
00:01:01.115 --> 00:01:02.000
Hello.
00:01:02.021 --> 00:01:05.259
It is the second week in our...
00:01:06.018 --> 00:01:10.902
Let's say money budgeting, money smarts series.
00:01:11.263 --> 00:01:17.487
And so if you haven't listened to last week's episode with Katie, make sure that you go and do that.
00:01:17.567 --> 00:01:20.030
I will put the link in the show notes as well.
00:01:20.390 --> 00:01:25.013
She talked to us all about budgeting and how to make smart decisions with our money.
00:01:25.055 --> 00:01:29.638
And that led me to want to do this episode.
00:01:29.739 --> 00:01:42.370
So this week, we're going to talk about how we think about money because this is one of those things that really can stop us in our tracks if we don't get this right.
00:01:42.450 --> 00:01:47.256
And there's a lot of stuff from life that we often have when we think about money.
00:01:47.275 --> 00:01:56.286
So my guest, Karen Mullins, is my first repeat guest on the podcast because she's amazing.
00:01:56.305 --> 00:02:11.581
And she is a mindset and transformation coach who helps her clients achieve quantum leap goals by getting to the root cause of results which are the program beliefs and the self-image we have in our subconscious mind.
00:02:11.961 --> 00:02:27.218
She has been recognized as one of Bob Proctor's top 1% of coaches, and she lives in Manchester, England with her husband and two teenagers, and she has been my success coach for quite a while.
00:02:27.438 --> 00:02:28.599
So welcome, Karen.
00:02:28.780 --> 00:02:29.001
Oh my
00:02:29.020 --> 00:02:29.441
goodness.
00:02:29.561 --> 00:02:32.084
Well, I am honored to be back, Cheryl.
00:02:32.243 --> 00:02:35.888
I mean, and to be the first repeat guest, seriously, so no pressure on me.
00:02:35.888 --> 00:02:40.573
But yeah, such a joy to be back here and having this conversation with you.
00:02:40.793 --> 00:02:41.013
Yeah,
00:02:41.313 --> 00:02:42.134
I'm excited.
00:02:42.175 --> 00:02:51.144
Yes, because you are really the person that helped me start to dig into how I looked at money and how maybe I could change that.
00:02:51.264 --> 00:02:54.086
So you are the person I thought up for this conversation.
00:02:54.168 --> 00:02:56.370
And I think it's really going to be powerful for people.
00:02:56.490 --> 00:03:11.006
Yeah, you know, this is an area, gosh, this is an area of my own journey in this work, you know, that I think came up for me quite early on in terms of like, oh, wow, you know, like this is an area that I need to focus on and just shine a bit of a light on.
00:03:11.145 --> 00:03:13.527
So yeah, I'm yeah, I'm super happy to be here.
00:03:13.568 --> 00:03:16.031
And just to be having this conversation, I think is powerful.
00:03:16.251 --> 00:03:16.771
Excellent.
00:03:17.171 --> 00:03:22.877
And that leads us right into my first question, because I always ask kind of what's your story?
00:03:22.997 --> 00:03:24.319
How did you get where you are?
00:03:24.460 --> 00:03:27.282
And I'm sure I already asked you that in the previous one.
00:03:27.323 --> 00:03:29.485
So we're going to get a little bit more specific.
00:03:29.604 --> 00:03:37.394
And I'm going to say, tell us a little bit about how you came to know or to realize that money mindset is such a powerful thing.
00:03:37.454 --> 00:03:39.295
Yeah, gosh, it really is.
00:03:39.336 --> 00:03:46.223
And I think for me, it showed up really quite early in my own journey as a business owner, right?
00:03:46.242 --> 00:03:48.044
Like as a business owner and entrepreneur.
00:03:48.125 --> 00:03:55.393
So yeah, we possibly touched on this maybe in the first call we did together, but by way of background, I'd been 20 years in the corporate world.
00:03:55.453 --> 00:04:03.961
So very much the way that I received any income was from what felt like a very, you know, kind of secure paycheck each month, right?
00:04:04.021 --> 00:04:08.627
And so then for me getting into Thank you so much.
00:04:35.696 --> 00:04:41.302
always say is, you know, would you, you know, how would you like to turn your annual income into your monthly income, right?
00:04:41.322 --> 00:04:45.185
Like that was an idea that he would often float by us, right?
00:04:45.266 --> 00:04:50.911
And the very first time, you know, that I heard him say that, just the idea of it blew my mind, right?
00:04:50.951 --> 00:04:53.495
Like it wasn't really an idea I could easily accept.
00:04:53.795 --> 00:05:05.447
And so I think right there is the beginnings of the realization that like, okay, well, maybe my thinking or how I feel about money, because actually, it's a lot of the time, it's the emotional side of it.
00:05:05.648 --> 00:05:08.170
maybe this could do with some attention, right?
00:05:08.190 --> 00:05:20.283
Like maybe this, yeah, it needs a bit of a tune up because what I was experiencing and what I've since found out that so many of my clients go through too, right, is that we can have a desire for more money, right?
00:05:20.343 --> 00:05:31.995
I think there is unlikely to be anyone I'm sure listening to this show that deep down, right, or maybe not even so deep down, but I mean, and I'm sure we're going to get into this, would have a desire to be earning more, right?
00:05:32.196 --> 00:05:33.617
Like if they could, why not?
00:05:33.937 --> 00:06:24.112
And so what often shows up is that we have have a desire for more and yet on some level so many of us can feel like there's something wrong with that desire right so we've straight out the gate we've got a conflict with what we want versus how we feel about what we want right and this is so important and this is why the money mindset piece comes in because one of the core kind of principles and I know you know this Cheryl right but one of the core things that that I say and remind people of is we don't so much get what we want we get how we feel about what we want and so here we are then with like okay so if we've got some real mixed emotions in relation to money in relation to this thing that actually secretly or maybe not so secretly we'd love more of then let's take a look at that right and that's really where the money mindset piece starts to come in again what's going on under the hood right you said a big focus of my work is on that subconscious part of our mind
00:06:24.492 --> 00:06:24.793
yes
00:06:25.052 --> 00:06:36.425
and so it's the same for money as with anything else right like what are some of those beliefs then that we've got fixed within ourselves typically in our subconscious mind that is showing up for us and then Right.
00:06:38.166 --> 00:06:41.711
Because, and I'll say this, as with everything else, money's no different, right?
00:06:41.750 --> 00:06:48.637
Like what we go on to achieve and the results that we get in our external world are nothing more than a reflection of what is going on inside of us.
00:06:48.817 --> 00:06:49.057
Right.
00:06:49.119 --> 00:06:53.122
And so that's why, yeah, we need to kind of pay attention and kind of dig into that
00:06:57.266 --> 00:07:03.774
a little bit.
00:07:05.456 --> 00:07:10.300
podcast and we even entitled it, I'm Doing All the Things, Why Don't They Work?
00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:12.163
And so it was exactly this.
00:07:12.242 --> 00:07:21.934
We were talking about how there might be some sort of resistance hidden in there or some sort of feeling or thought that was preventing us from achieving what we wanted.
00:07:22.033 --> 00:07:25.958
So yes, everyone go back and listen to that one too, because it's all going to tie in.
00:07:27.139 --> 00:07:35.127
But let's take that a little bit farther because you mentioned that we're going to have either thoughts or maybe feelings about money.
00:07:35.247 --> 00:07:37.470
They're Maybe they're hidden and we don't realize it.
00:07:37.529 --> 00:07:38.531
Maybe we realize it.
00:07:38.571 --> 00:07:39.653
We don't know what to do about it.
00:07:39.733 --> 00:07:42.035
But where do they come from?
00:07:42.175 --> 00:07:46.980
And why is money is often a big one for these subconscious kind of blocks.
00:07:47.060 --> 00:07:48.502
So why does that happen?
00:07:48.581 --> 00:07:51.665
Why does money often feel like a negative or a hard thing?
00:07:51.826 --> 00:07:57.732
Yeah, well, because as with so much of what we believe, obviously about anything, right?
00:07:57.872 --> 00:08:03.298
It's forming what I call like a part of our programming or a part of our paradigm, okay?
00:08:03.317 --> 00:09:26.306
Which is this kind of mental program that's fixed in your subconscious mind okay and what we want to understand about that is that we didn't really create it right like so much of what you and I believe that is fixed kind of deep down in that emotional part of us because our subconscious mind is the emotional mind so hence why our feelings are so linked to what's going on in there okay so much of what we believe at that deep subconscious level it forms part of like our programmed beliefs about anything have actually just been passed down to us from one generation to the next right and or they have been modeled to us in the environment that we grew up in the society that we live in and so if you think about it in relation to like again money in particular you only have to an example I give actually a lot at the moment especially for women is that actually you don't even have to go back that far to see just how much our world has changed in terms of our relationship with money right and I was horrified to discover not that long ago I I might add, that it wasn't until 1975, okay, that women, I think this is the same in the US, it's definitely the case in the UK, but I think it was very similar timing, if not the same timing over in the US, it wasn't until 1975 that women could open up a bank account in their own name or take out a loan without having their husband or their father sign for them, right?
00:09:26.427 --> 00:09:27.288
Oh my goodness.
00:09:27.587 --> 00:09:28.087
Right?
00:09:28.328 --> 00:09:54.135
That was the year I was born, Cheryl, so it's really meaningful to me because it just highlights, oh my gosh, knowing what I know about how our beliefs and our conditioning and how we feel about money actually are literally handed down, you know, from from one generation to the next to whoever, you know, kind of has raised us, it's like, wow, is there any wonder, and I will say kind of women, especially here, but of course, the same applies male or female in terms of how your programming is formed.
00:09:54.275 --> 00:10:02.465
But is it any wonder that that's so many, as I say, women in particular, don't maybe have the confidence don't have such a healthy relationship with money, etc.
00:10:02.504 --> 00:10:32.817
Because we certainly my generation, we've been raised by mothers and grandmothers who didn't even you know just didn't have that same autonomy you know with money or independence that we have so we're getting mixed messages you know sort of straight away around like yes so we have this desire for more money but then we have so many conflicting beliefs you know that sit with that well you know if you want to go and earn more money you know you're going to have to sacrifice it's not that easy you know this is where these kind of things start to kick in as well
00:10:32.977 --> 00:10:37.241
yeah yeah or maybe that you're a bad Oh my gosh,
00:10:37.341 --> 00:10:38.082
that's another one.
00:10:38.102 --> 00:10:46.652
I know right now, I'm literally actually in the first month of a three month prosperity program that literally is focusing completely on money mindset.
00:10:46.852 --> 00:10:56.142
And interestingly, this was something so what you just said was something that's been coming up for quite a few people that are doing that work with me, where that's one of the things that they'd learned.
00:10:56.182 --> 00:10:59.765
That's one of the things that they had heard growing up, right?
00:10:59.826 --> 00:11:02.028
That kind of like, oh, I've seen what money does to people.
00:11:02.229 --> 00:11:05.072
And actually, that's never meant in a positive way, right?
00:11:05.072 --> 00:11:06.312
Do you see?
00:11:06.332 --> 00:11:06.413
Yeah.
00:11:07.153 --> 00:11:12.779
And it's kind of, so even if the, even if it's not being spelled out, but I mean, we've all heard things like, oh, money's the root of all evil.
00:11:13.061 --> 00:11:13.421
Right.
00:11:14.101 --> 00:11:24.533
And you know, it's not all about the money, you know, like, and again, we hear these things, which have us feel and believe that like, again, like it's sending you a message or a signal that it's wrong.
00:11:24.653 --> 00:11:26.174
There's something wrong with wanting money.
00:11:26.235 --> 00:11:28.336
That's, it's going to make you somehow a bad person.
00:11:28.537 --> 00:11:28.836
Right.
00:11:29.018 --> 00:11:34.462
And if you believe that, well then, you know, the job of your subconscious mind is to protect you.
00:11:34.783 --> 00:12:13.684
So if there's a belief that it's you know somehow right you having more money is going to make you a bad person or suddenly you're going to be judged by others right well we don't want that so we might want money but we don't want to be judged by others we don't want others to people other people to think that we're bad and so it's just fascinating like seeing how these things come up and then getting people to to really start to reevaluate that right like that's one of the things that i've really been doing over these last few weeks as i say with with in this particular program, but just really getting people to look at, well, hang on, is it money that's not good or is it the individuals themselves, right?
00:12:13.745 --> 00:12:18.551
Like really, and in a great way, I guess if I share this, it will help those listening to this episode.
00:12:18.591 --> 00:12:19.851
If you think about it, right?
00:12:19.892 --> 00:12:23.475
Like you can find five, 10 people, right?
00:12:23.556 --> 00:12:26.219
That like are good people that have got money, right?
00:12:26.259 --> 00:12:31.323
You could easily think of and find a number of people that have got money that are good people, right?
00:12:31.705 --> 00:13:10.485
But by the same token, you could just as easily find five or 10 people that don't have money that are amazing good people too right so again it's like it's not the money and we can do the opposite the opposite is also true you can look to people that have tons of money that aren't very nice people but you can also find people that have no money that are also not very nice people right you know it's just it's sort of joining the dots on it of like it's not the money it's it's the people like let's not go giving you know kind of money power it doesn't have but these are things that we need to kind of like unpick for ourselves and tell ourselves in order to then realize gosh so much of what I've been believing about money just isn't true right right
00:13:10.605 --> 00:13:39.116
yeah you know it's interesting a story is coming to mind and I'm not going to say that somebody in the older generation of my family said this and I'm not going to say who it was so that I don't out them but anyway this person had moved into a home in a really nice neighborhood and was going to be able to stay a long time as this person was getting older and at one point I was there visiting and He or she said to me, I live in the rich neighborhood now.
00:13:39.157 --> 00:13:41.198
It was with embarrassment.
00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:43.120
It wasn't a brag.
00:13:43.500 --> 00:13:47.725
It was like, ooh, ooh, I don't know if that's okay.
00:13:48.186 --> 00:13:50.708
First of all, it's just a really nice neighborhood.
00:13:50.749 --> 00:13:54.653
It's not like some mansion or whatever.
00:13:54.692 --> 00:13:56.654
Second of all, why embarrassment?
00:13:56.956 --> 00:14:06.085
That was just so enlightening to me that that's the generation in my family that has influenced me and just that awareness was important yeah
00:14:06.245 --> 00:14:34.134
and you know I think that comes back to and this is something to really be aware of and also to notice if you ever catch yourself because again we can do it subconsciously we can do it just automatically but if you ever catch yourself judging somebody that has money right because you see in that example where we might feel a little bit kind of don't it's also a little bit of like don't brag don't be too loud don't show off isn't it it's things like this
00:14:34.355 --> 00:14:34.735
yeah but
00:14:34.735 --> 00:15:08.913
always that's coming really from a place of you know just yeah don't stand out too much because actually that's vulnerable to do that it's not safe like really that's kind of the underlying message of like oh it's not safe to be seen to be having this money because what will people think like that's almost the unspoken part what will that's like what will other people think it's the judgment and we want to be careful then and this is something else that I was just teaching on recently of if you find yourself judging somebody else like if you just look, you may not do it out loud, but just in your own head, you might judge someone that's got money.
00:15:09.253 --> 00:15:12.216
Notice that because your subconscious mind is always listening.
00:15:12.416 --> 00:15:17.140
So if it notices you doing that, it's kind of like, oh, okay, noted, right?
00:15:17.221 --> 00:15:23.288
Like best not, you know, best not like allow her to have too much then because otherwise like now she's going to get judged like this, right?
00:15:23.347 --> 00:15:24.708
And it doesn't want you to be judged.
00:15:24.990 --> 00:15:28.413
You see, it's that type of a, it's so fascinating.
00:15:28.432 --> 00:15:34.340
I mean, it's so fascinating, Cheryl, you know, just the crazy ideas, yeah, that we've bought into.
00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:36.581
But just that it's wrong to want money.
00:15:36.621 --> 00:15:46.251
Like, I think fundamentally, it just it can come down to that, like basic one that so many of us have, you know, kind of learned almost on some level anyway, that we
00:15:46.292 --> 00:15:59.807
then need to make our peace with.
00:16:04.591 --> 00:16:04.792
Yes.
00:16:05.552 --> 00:16:10.197
Correct.
00:16:10.238 --> 00:16:17.405
Absolutely.
00:16:17.426 --> 00:16:20.808
It is.
00:16:34.543 --> 00:16:35.644
It's a magnifier.
00:16:35.684 --> 00:16:36.966
And I think that's exactly it.
00:16:37.006 --> 00:16:41.130
It's like, let's bring it back to like reminding ourselves of what money is.
00:16:41.191 --> 00:16:43.553
It's kind of really just a genius idea, right?
00:16:43.573 --> 00:16:54.846
Like it's the reward for service and it makes it so much easier to live in a world where if I want to get my hair cut, but my hairdresser doesn't want mindset coaching, it's kind of like, oh, right.
00:16:54.926 --> 00:16:58.208
Well, I'm stumped because I really need my roots doing.
00:16:58.249 --> 00:16:59.009
What do you mean?
00:16:59.070 --> 00:17:03.053
Like, here, let me just coach you for an hour in an exchange to do my roots, right?
00:17:03.134 --> 00:17:04.435
It's kind of, thank goodness.
00:17:04.496 --> 00:17:06.798
We're not in that situation, right?
00:17:06.878 --> 00:17:12.203
Otherwise, like, yeah, maybe like we'd be going hungry because it turns out the people in the grocery store don't want mindset coaching either.
00:17:12.344 --> 00:17:13.965
You know, it's just, right?
00:17:14.145 --> 00:17:17.930
But it's like, oh, so thank goodness someone came up with this means of exchange.
00:17:18.451 --> 00:17:21.954
So we can be like, oh, I've got this thing that's universally acceptable.
00:17:22.015 --> 00:17:25.178
So like, yeah, here, like you would like this service, great.
00:17:25.258 --> 00:17:27.359
And it's, yeah, that's really all it is.
00:17:27.441 --> 00:17:37.490
And I think sometimes it helps to just remind ourselves of that because we are the ones, again, as humans that have given it so much meaning that really it doesn't, you know, it doesn't deserve to have, but you're right.
00:17:37.550 --> 00:17:38.692
It's a magnifier.
00:17:38.712 --> 00:17:42.896
And I think it's understanding that it's, it's just going to make you more of who you already are.
00:17:43.057 --> 00:17:48.542
And so what a wonderful thing to know if you know, deep down, you're a good person and you can do so much more good.
00:17:48.563 --> 00:17:50.684
Yes, absolutely.
00:17:50.704 --> 00:17:51.746
Absolutely.
00:17:51.787 --> 00:17:52.527
Okay.
00:17:52.827 --> 00:17:57.132
So then we've realized maybe we have some issues in our heads about this.
00:17:57.352 --> 00:18:04.059
So how can we start to change how we think about or how we view money with those kind of deep seated beliefs?
00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:44.803
I think the first step is awareness right like always it's awareness it's just and it's just being able to see where you currently are and to have a mind open enough of course to want to shift and change it right but again if you're if you're looking for the answer to that question let's assume that that box is already ticked that's like yeah I do want to improve that that mindset on my relationship with money so the first step for sure is awareness and in fact as I've just said right there like the first step if you want to improve your relationship with money do you know what one of the best ways that I know, and actually, it's quite a fun kind of exercise to do in some respects, at least, to really become aware of like, well, where am I currently?
00:18:44.863 --> 00:18:46.724
What is my current relationship with money?
00:18:46.765 --> 00:18:54.333
Literally, kind of, you can be a bit playful with this, but start to think of money as if it literally was your significant other, right?
00:18:54.353 --> 00:18:57.356
So you are in a relationship with money, like we all are.
00:18:57.396 --> 00:18:59.199
So you're in a relationship with money right now.
00:18:59.618 --> 00:19:06.185
If you started to see money as your significant other, what kind of a relationship are you in with money, right?
00:19:06.205 --> 00:19:10.550
Like, do you really love money or is it like, well, sometimes I love it and sometimes not so much.
00:19:10.651 --> 00:19:15.155
And well, I love you, but you're never around enough or like you come, but then you leave really quickly.
00:19:15.175 --> 00:19:16.817
You're never here when I want you, right?
00:19:16.836 --> 00:19:28.048
Can you see, or like, I kind of want you and like, I kind of feel good about wanting you, but this side of you over here, like if we were talking about, I don't know, like debt or something, now I feel really bad for wanting, like that's not even allowed.
00:19:28.128 --> 00:19:28.950
Do you know what I mean?
00:19:28.990 --> 00:19:31.313
And it's just that kind of, do I need to go to counseling?
00:19:31.333 --> 00:19:33.494
Am I in a dysfunctional relationship with money here?
00:19:33.515 --> 00:19:34.036
You know?
00:19:34.256 --> 00:19:36.679
Like, or am I avoiding it, right?
00:19:36.699 --> 00:19:37.900
Like, am I deep in avoidance?
00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:39.741
Am I not paying money any attention,
00:19:39.781 --> 00:19:40.742
right?
00:19:41.242 --> 00:19:47.730
Like there's so many kind of like facets to this that if you look at it through that lens, it's really fascinating of like, oh my gosh, yeah.
00:19:47.851 --> 00:19:49.412
That's really interesting.
00:19:49.692 --> 00:19:53.036
And it makes me realize that I have some more work to do too.
00:19:54.498 --> 00:19:57.560
It's never ending for all of us, this work, right?
00:19:57.580 --> 00:20:00.523
We always want to be like, okay, let's stay in the work.
00:20:00.644 --> 00:20:02.246
But yeah, it's really, it is.
00:20:02.306 --> 00:20:03.788
It's a really interesting one, that one.
00:20:04.208 --> 00:20:10.315
Because it's also that if we want more, think about it, like if we want more of something, right?
00:20:10.375 --> 00:20:17.642
And I think actually this is maybe something if I just even back up a little bit, because I think this was also a thought that really helped me when it comes to money.
00:20:17.803 --> 00:20:19.203
And it's something that Wallace D.
00:20:19.263 --> 00:20:22.307
Wattles talks about in his book, The Science of Getting Rich.
00:20:22.627 --> 00:20:31.636
And he talks about how actually like our want for more of anything, including money, is very much just a natural expression of who we are, right?
00:20:31.676 --> 00:20:36.864
Like it's that kind of like life force within us That's always for expansion and fuller expression.
00:20:59.105 --> 00:21:05.892
I've had a few experiences lately where people thought I was a lot younger than I actually am.
00:21:05.912 --> 00:21:07.232
You want to know the secret?
00:21:07.252 --> 00:21:09.194
Take care of your skin.
00:21:09.234 --> 00:21:11.336
Wash your face every night.
00:21:11.477 --> 00:21:18.001
And when you do that, make sure that you're using safe and healthy products and make sure you moisturize.
00:21:18.222 --> 00:21:22.486
If you want to know my favorite skincare, it's Derm Results Advanced.
00:21:22.705 --> 00:21:24.048
I use it morning and night.
00:21:24.208 --> 00:21:35.135
Check it out at www.bit.ly slash And make sure you use the code ARBON10 for 10% off.
00:21:36.193 --> 00:21:43.119
You know, so I think it's so important to kind of like, first of all, make peace with that idea of like, of course, it's right to want more.
00:21:43.160 --> 00:21:44.361
It's just part of who I am.
00:21:44.381 --> 00:21:46.383
And then yeah, look at that, that relationship.
00:21:46.442 --> 00:21:48.944
Like, okay, well, let's take a look at my relationship with money.
00:21:48.984 --> 00:21:54.730
Because if I do want more, but I'm not very welcoming, if I kind of resent money, if I feel like it's never there when I need it, etc.
00:21:54.769 --> 00:21:55.190
Right?
00:21:55.230 --> 00:22:00.015
Like if that was in a dating relationship, it's like, oh, I don't want to stick around her too much.
00:22:00.035 --> 00:22:01.056
Right?
00:22:01.076 --> 00:22:02.416
She doesn't appreciate me.
00:22:02.737 --> 00:22:06.160
So yeah, just I think I would say like, use that to just shine a bit of a light.
00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:08.281
on what your current relationship's like.
00:22:08.522 --> 00:22:10.203
And that's the first step is the awareness.
00:22:10.263 --> 00:22:10.704
Yeah.
00:22:11.005 --> 00:22:17.231
I think that will help people because these are things that are kind of hidden in there and we don't really think about it necessarily.
00:22:17.332 --> 00:22:17.632
Yeah.
00:22:17.731 --> 00:22:18.272
Exactly.
00:22:18.373 --> 00:22:22.857
And I think that's why that one's such a good tool because there's almost like nowhere to hide, right?
00:22:22.897 --> 00:22:28.523
Like you can, when you look at it in terms of like, oh, well, there's certain aspects of money that I'm okay with.
00:22:28.604 --> 00:22:31.666
But if there's like, oh, there's an area over here that I'm not so good with.
00:22:31.846 --> 00:22:32.167
Yeah.
00:22:32.327 --> 00:22:32.667
Yeah.
00:22:32.929 --> 00:22:38.555
So because you brought up debt, I'm going to skip over to that topic for just a minute.
00:22:38.775 --> 00:22:49.306
Because here in the US, anyway, during this month, there are some changes happening with regard to college loans and having to pay back debt.
00:22:49.425 --> 00:22:55.112
And this is something that just travels with people for 10, 15, 20 years sometimes.
00:22:55.573 --> 00:23:01.019
And obviously, there could be debt from a home, there could be credit card debt.
00:23:01.118 --> 00:23:07.605
I know Americans are pretty well known about having bad credit card debt issues because because we like to buy lots of stuff.
00:23:07.885 --> 00:23:09.807
I don't know if that's true in the UK as well.
00:23:09.948 --> 00:23:11.028
Pretty similar, I think.
00:23:11.068 --> 00:23:13.612
Yeah,
00:23:13.771 --> 00:23:14.252
I'm sure.
00:23:14.512 --> 00:23:15.574
Yeah, we all want the stuff.
00:23:15.914 --> 00:23:31.510
So I think this idea that debt is bad or just the worry about it all the time hanging over our heads can become a mindset issue that creates kind of a negative money thing too.
00:23:31.730 --> 00:23:35.515
So do you have any advice about people who are dealing with that?
00:23:36.016 --> 00:23:37.136
Yeah, absolutely.
00:23:37.277 --> 00:23:49.770
And you're so right, by the way, that if you've got that weighing on you, like if that feels like something that's heavy and it does for a lot of people, because that's, again, that's the message that we all receive and that's the conditioning and the programming and we don't question it.
00:23:49.990 --> 00:23:55.896
So then now as part of this money relationship that we're in, we've got a lot of shame and judgment that we're carrying around with that.
00:23:56.096 --> 00:24:04.105
And if we're going to put labels on ourselves, okay, like, well, then we've carrying around a label of, well, I'm not very good with money because, right, like I've got debt.
00:24:04.306 --> 00:24:08.210
Let's say that can be something that you know, a judgment that someone makes for themselves.
00:24:08.611 --> 00:24:27.330
And the very first step to being sort of energetically, which is at the heart of a lot of the work I do, but from an energy perspective, the very first step to put yourself in a place where you can attract more money and more prosperity to yourself is you genuinely have to start to feel that way and feel that way now, you know, not once you get there.
00:24:27.510 --> 00:24:35.920
And so, of course, this, I think, is like a big catch-22 for so many people when it comes to debt, because then they're thinking, well, how can I feel prosperous if I've got debt, etc., etc.?
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.000
?
