Taming Your Money Gremlin

There’s a nasty little voice that speaks horrible things to you practically every minute of every day.

Those of us who are coaches refer to it as the “gremlin”.

It is not you and yet it holds great power over you because of its constant and unrelenting negative bashing of you, what you do, how you feel and how you think others perceive you.

That gremlin is bad enough, but did you know that it has an evil twin?

That’s right, your Money Gremlin is the one that causes you to lose sleep because you can’t pay the bills in full and on time (“You’re no good” … “You’re such a fraud – if people only knew the truth about you”).

It’s the one that preys upon your weakness for a particular thing (shoes, mani/pedis, expensive meals, etc.) and, once you’ve succumbed and pulled out the credit card to buy
yet another of whatever it is, it’s the one that blasts you for your foolishness.

Pretty nasty stuff … and, it’s abusive. 

That’s right, I said abusive.

We treat ourselves so viciously when it comes to our money faux pas – more so than any disapproving human being.

We then punish ourselves, swear to do better next time and dread the arrival of the next service or credit card bill because we know the funds aren’t there to pay it/them.

Enough!!!

Here’s how to win your freedom from your Money Gremlin and to restore peace to your mind, soul and bank account:

First, identify whose voice the Money Gremlin is using – yours? a parent or grandparent? your boss?  your spouse?

Second, ask yourself why you have continued in the same negative money pattern to this point? (You are getting something out of torturing yourself with this vicious circle of events – what is the payoff for you?)

Third, imagine what it would feel like to have more than enough in your account to pay any bill you receive – in full, on time.  Would you feel grateful? Relaxed? Confident?

Fourth, make the commitment to yourself, TODAY, that you are going to clean up your act when it comes to your money. 

I want you to take a piece of paper and pen (don’t use your computer – you need to physically write this down) and write out the following commitment statement:

I, <insert your name here>, do solemnly swear to myself that I begin my new money life today.

           

I will ask questions to learn what I do not know and get help from those who know how to set me on the path to financial security, freedom and independence.

I will set aside the first 10% of every bit of money that I receive, to be invested to create passive income for me.

Every day, I will:

receive money with gratitudE

spend money with wisdom and

share money with love

I AM an Awesome Wealthy Woman!

Now, date and sign your commitment and post it where you can see it every day.

Congratulations!

Remember that change is a process which unfolds over time.
