Remove the "weight" of the concept of 'Money'
Money is a very powerful symbol in our society. They provide us with everything you need: food, clothing, shelter, and they are also a symbol of safety. With the money we are meeting their needs.We have paid for our time, skills or services, so they are a symbol of self-esteem and self-esteem. To them we can buy everything you need to relax, so they symbolize freedom and choice. They can be exchanged for a "status symbols" and the signs affiliation. Thus, they also symbolize the place of the individual in society and social group. In addition, money is closely related to our relationship with parents, partners or former partners, that is, they are a symbol of love, support, depending on the needs and strengths. It is not surprising that we often feel nervous about money, because they mean to us so much!
Our approach to money is often reveals how much more secure we feel in the world, as well as the extent to which we are emotionally dependent. If we are worried about money, or have a strong desire to spend it, or obsessive provide a secure future, or dreams about what we are rich, or feel guilt about the availability of money, which means that money symbolizes for us the relevant aspects of our of life.
Many years ago I worked with a group of women who suffer from physical disorders related to errors in diet. I was amazed at how many similarities between food and money. As well as money, food and body weight also weighed in our society. So when you eat cake with a cream, it can also mean: you have lost control of himself, you are a dangerous man, you feed your inner child, you protect yourself, you are punishing someone.
Similarly, you can decrypt and behavior of people suffering from loss of appetite or, conversely, constantly absorbing food: they are either chronically deprive themselves of something, or have to always go to town. Money and food are often considered as aspects of "negative, but necessary." Mistakenly assumed that they can be used to satisfy their emotional needs. But they can not do as well so you never feel rich enough (or sufficiently thin).
One of the keys to achieving prosperity is also dropping the "weight" that you downloaded the concept of "money". Imagine that you have a lot of money and pay attention to what you feel about it. Then ask yourself:
What do you symbolize the money? Security, freedom, independence, power, social status, self-esteem, happiness, or meet your emotional needs?
Are you not afraid to be rich? If so, maybe you're afraid of what other people will expect something from you, the rich man? What will you do? Currently, you often use lack of money as an excuse?Relative to what you usually say to yourself, "I would definitely do it if the money?" Is this money when the real reason? Be honest with yourself!
Maybe you associate money with their parents or former partner?Imagine that you are telling them that are rich. You feel the excitement, anxiety, or resistance? Do not humiliate, do not disappoint you them that are rich? Or let them "off the hook"?
If you have a partner, how often do you argue and quarrel with him / her for the money? If so, what in your relationship symbolize money? Power? Lack of need? Trust? Dependence?
Once you realize what it means money for you and why are you afraid of wealth, you can begin to discard this "weight". You can easily understand and convince themselves that the security, freedom and power you will find within himself, not expecting it to make money. If money is a symbol of freedom, then that means to you to be free? How would you begin to free yourself? After all, freedom is a gift that we reward ourselves, not what they can offer us money.
Money is not a magic wand. This is simply a form of energy. This paper, coins, electronic or set of numbers. This is - a very useful source. They can be exchanged for goods or services, but they can never make us happy or give to feel safe and feel good about themselves.
