If you are worried about money and money management then you are not alone, you join many others – the rich, the famous, the downtrodden and the battlers.
People from all walks of life worry about money. Some who have a lot want more, others struggle to pay the bills and some just have enough to scrape by each week, but they all worry.
Where does worrying about money come from? Much lies in our personalities and how our parents’ attitude to money influenced us as children, maybe we heard them arguing about it or perhaps we thought that we did not have as much as our friends, or there were times when it was either feast or famine. All reasons contributed to how you now feel about money and what you think it says about you – success or failure, good or bad, smart or stupid.
Money means a lot more to us than just numbers on a bank statement. We load it with meaning, and bundle it up with a pile of emotions and deposit into our ‘self worth’ bank. The emotions that we attach are different for everyone – anxiety, concern, security, insecurity, freedom, pleasure, guilt and even love.
How then, do you stop worrying about money? You can but try. The best you can do is put it into some kind of perspective where it is just one part of your life, not central to it, and how you treat yourself, others and the planet are the real measures of your worth.
Here are some ideas to help you find money solutions and to stop worrying about money.
* Accept that everyone worries about money, whether they are rich or poor.
* Make a list of the qualities you have that contributes to your feeling of being a good person (no mention of earning capacity allowed)
* Write a list of your beliefs about money. If these beliefs are holding you back, then start challenging them.
* Think of a time when you felt that you had enough money. What enabled you to feel that way? How can you get to that place again?
* Buy a money tree plant. Nurturing and growing the plant will concentrate your efforts.
* Volunteer for work at a soup kitchen or refuge for homeless people for a day.
