The first thing we want to know when we are out to make a profound difference for oruselves in the area of money and finances is that each of us has a way of operating in the world.
The way we think, act, and react determines the way we operate.
What if the only thing stopping us from having everything we want in life is our thinking?
As human beings, we think we’re very conscious, but psychologists tell us over 90% of our decisions and actions are automatically controlled by our subconscious.
We think we operate and live life from conscious decisions.
In reality, many of our decisions are automatic reactions to our situation or circumstances.
Usually our subconscious is making the decision without us being aware of it.
When we can begin to shake up that automatic way of thinking, believing and acting, we then begin to shape our circumstances. In order to shake up our current thinking, we have to challenge the old ways of thinking by taking actions.
Taking on new practices inside our finances that challenge what we believe to be true about what it takes to succeed. Most of what we learned was to help us survive, not to succeed.
When we deal with the way we operate daily, we impact our financial success. As we challenge our own thinking, we experience a new freedom, power and confidence in achieving financial goals.
For a while, I thought that tracking my expenses was too much work and that I could not possibly keep track of it all. I would do a budget every once in a while, but tracking seemed a major ordeal. I challenged my thinking... I started to track my expenses daily despite not wanting to or believing it was too much work. Now, I track expenses weekly, I check it against my budget every couple of months. Budgeting and tracking my expenses is now a practice that keeps me on track to achieve my financial goals.
