My Top Financial Therapy Tips for a Terrific Money Mindset
Because most of us are a bit screwed up about wealth and it’s worth investing in our mental health
You might not have considered your money mindset influences your financial decisions. But it has an impact. Your beliefs about money are the driving force behind how you spend, invest, and save. They also affect your earning power and business success. These financial therapy tips might just help you make sound money-related judgments.
I worked in the mental health field for years. Many of my clients held unhelpful money beliefs that influenced their earning ability. They thought their skills weren’t valuable and aimed low. Or they struggled without recognizing they could improve their circumstances.
One common denominator was that their money and emotional problems coincided. Divorce, grief, or being a young lone parent is twice as difficult when you’re finding it hard to make ends meet.
Of course, it’s easier to spot the link between wellbeing and money when you’re on the outside looking in. But I also checked my money attitude, having learned from clients’ mistakes, and discovered I wasn’t perfect.
