Shift your money mindset in 5 easy steps 

Ladies, let’s talk about money.  

It’s a topic that can often be uncomfortable and overwhelming, but it’s time to shift our mindset and start looking at it in a different light.  

We’ve been ingrained with beliefs and attitudes towards money from a young age, whether it’s through societal norms or personal experiences.  

Our relationship with money affects every aspect of our lives, from how we spend and save, to the opportunities we pursue.  

But what if I told you that shifting your money mindset is easier than you think?  

Here are my 5 easy steps to help you break free from limiting beliefs and create a positive relationship with your finances.  

So grab a cup of tea or coffee (whatever fuels you!), get comfortable and let’s dive into transforming your money mindset together! 

Number 1 – reflect on your own thoughts and feelings about money 

Reflecting on your past is essential for making positive changes in your life, especially when it comes to your finances. Take a moment to think about the influence money has had on your life so far: 

• Consider your upbringing – how were you taught about money? 
• What messages about money were ingrained in you from a young age? 
• Were your parents or guardians spenders or savers? 
• Did they struggle with money or manage it well? 
• What was their overall relationship with money? 
• How did you approach your own financial circumstances as you entered adulthood? 

Acknowledge all the factors that have shaped your current perspective on money. However, it’s important to note that this isn’t the time to solely blame your parents for any financial mistakes or negative mindset you may have.  

While they may have had an impact, they’re just one piece of the puzzle. Moving forward, let’s focus on finding solutions rather than dwelling on the past. 

Number 2 – adopt a positive or abundant money mindset 

Shift your mindset and transform your relationship with money through positive affirmations.  

Pay attention to the way you speak to yourself in various financial situations – when you receive a windfall, cover necessary expenses, indulge in splurges, make a mistake, or interact with others.  

If you catch yourself engaging in negative self-talk, it’s time for a script rewrite. How can you reframe your perspective to cultivate a more positive outlook?  

Consider incorporating these money mantras: 

• Replace “I’ll never get that promotion” with “I can showcase my worth and ask for what I deserve. If turned down, I’ll persist and reapply in six months. I know my value.” 
• Swap “I’ll always live paycheck-to-paycheck” for “I can adjust my budget to feel more at ease with my expenses and avoid feeling financially drained each month.” 
• Shift from “I’m a failure with money” to “Mistakes happen to everyone, and I’ll use this as an opportunity to learn and grow for tomorrow.” 
• Let go of the belief that “I’ll never have as much money as my friend” and embrace the understanding that we all have unique paths and circumstances. There is no right or wrong place to be financially. I am exactly where I am meant to be right now. 

Comparison will only bring dissatisfaction. Remember that we are all at different stages in our lives, and there’s no right or wrong place to be.  

Embrace where you are right now and trust that it’s where you’re meant to be. 

Number 3 – track your spending 

Discover a better understanding of your finances and transform your money mindset with a simple yet powerful method: tracking your spending for just one month. Not only will you gain valuable insights into your money habits, but you’ll also uncover the emotions behind every financial decision you make. 

Reflect on how you feel when payday rolls around, when you settle your bills or make necessary purchases, and even when you indulge in personal or shared expenses. What triggers your spending habits?

Number 4 – create goals for your money 

Creating goals for your money is an essential step in improving your mindset. It’s important to understand where you stand financially and where you want to be in the future. The first step is to create a budget. This will help you track your income and expenses, and identify areas where you can save money.  

Once you have a budget in place, you can start setting specific financial goals. These can be short-term, such as paying off credit card debt, or long-term, such as saving for retirement.  

Having clear goals will help you stay motivated and focused.  

It’s also important to regularly review and adjust your goals as your financial situation changes.  

Remember, financial success doesn’t happen overnight – it takes time, effort, and a commitment to making smart financial decisions.  

By setting goals and taking action, you can achieve financial freedom and improve your overall mindset. 

Number 5 – commit to changing your money habits 

When it comes to improving your financial mindset, committing to changing your money habits is absolutely crucial.  

It’s so easy to fall into the trap of just letting your money do its own thing, especially if you are used to living paycheck to paycheck.  

But the truth is, taking control of your finances is one of the most empowering things you can do for yourself. Not only will it give you a sense of security, but it will also open up new opportunities and experiences that you might not have been able to afford before.  

And let’s not forget the mental and emotional benefits. -Reducing financial stress can have a huge impact on your overall well-being.  

The good news is, it’s never too late to start making positive changes.  

Whether you’re in debt, living paycheck to paycheck, or simply want to save more money, there are always steps you can take to improve your financial situation.
