Do You Have Any Of These 5 Self-Sabotaging Beliefs About Money?

As a trained Spiritual Advisor and energy healer with over 10 years of experience working with clients across the globe, I can confidently tell you that many individuals who come work with me are harboring harmful, limiting beliefs about money — sometimes without even realizing it.

Of course, these ingrained beliefs are not their fault, and it’s not your fault either! So many years of negative conditioning from family, society, and past life memories have buried these fears and self-sabotaging ideas about money so far deep in our subconscious minds, that we start to believe they are absolute truths.

But these money beliefs are far from true!

Actually, they are like a fog keeping you blocked from a life of financial abundance as well as positive receivership energy toward money. Below, check out the 5 most common self-sabotaging money beliefs I uncover all the time during my weekly online community sessions for Spiritual Advising and energy healing.

Do any of these ring true for you?

Self-Sabotaging Belief #1: “Money is limited and hard to get.”

Thinking that you are limited to only a certain amount of money is proof of a scarcity mindset, which Carol Dweck, Ph.D. describes in her book Mindset: The New Psychology of Success as the opposite of a growth (abundance) mindset.

When you believe that there is not enough of something to go around, you subconsciously close yourself off to potential financial opportunities that can invite a new flow of income into your life. These financial opportunities are all around you all the time!

But in order to see them clearly, you must first clear this deep-rooted negative belief that money is a limited resource for you.

Positive Affirmations To Replace Self-Sabotaging Belief #1:

• “I am a money magnet.”
• “Money flows into my life.”
• “I am aligned with the energy of abundance.”
• “The money I want already exists and is making its way toward me.”

Self-Sabotaging Belief #2: “I’m not good with money.”

Maybe you came from a family background that held this same belief. Perhaps you have friends or a life partner who keeps reminding you of certain mistakes you may have made in the past. Whatever the cause, this self-sabotaging belief falsely assumes you can’t learn new skills (and yes, personal finances are a skill!).

You do not need to feel limited to your mistakes or stuck in the negative energy of past life memories. You are a Soul put on this Earth to continually learn, grow, and become more closely aligned with your Highest Self.

Positive Affirmations To Replace Self-Sabotaging Belief #2:

• “Attracting money is easy for me.”
• “I prosper financially wherever I turn.”
• “My net worth is constantly increasing.” 
• “I have the ability to succeed in everything I do.”

Self-Sabotaging Belief #3: “Wanting money is selfish.”

Interestingly, one of the wonderful members of my online community for Spiritual Advising and weekly energy healing asked me: “What if my intuition is telling me that I don’t WANT the money for me — and I’d really rather give it all away?”

Thinking the desire for money is selfish is a belief that we create when we are scared of what other people will think of us for having or wanting “too much” money. But finances are just a means to an end — most people don’t want money for money’s sake!

Rather, it’s what that money represents for you: do you want to provide a safe, healthy life for your family? Do you want to travel the world? Do you want to start a business, foster needy animals, or help other people in some way? 

Whatever your goals might be, you will most likely need money to help you achieve those goals. This is not selfish of you! You are simply seeking to fulfill your Life Purpose, just as my community member’s intuition was telling her to do.

Positive Affirmations To Replace Self-Sabotaging Belief #3:

• “Money is welcome in my life.”
• “I love money, and money loves me.”
• “I earn money by providing value doing what I love.”
• “Money is a blessing for myself and my loved ones.”

Self-Sabotaging Belief #4: “I don’t care about money.”

This one sounds nice on the surface but is generally a decoy for the negative energy hiding just underneath. It is also closely related to belief #2 above, in that we worry about what other people might think of us if we openly show that we care about money.

This is a self-limiting belief!

Again, money is merely the means to accomplish your goals and Life Purpose, take care of your loved ones and community, and ultimately enjoy doing what you love in life. No one would frown on you for caring about all these wonderful things!

Don’t give up on your best life by telling yourself “I don’t care.”

Positive Affirmations To Replace Self-Sabotaging Belief #4:

• “I have a money mindset.”
• “I am financially abundant!”
• “Money loves me, and I love money.”
• “I think positively about my finances.”

Self-Sabotaging Belief #5: “I’d rather be happy than wealthy.”

This seems like a tricky one, because who wouldn’t want to be happy, right? Except… who says that this needs to be an either/or situation?

Happiness and wealth are not mutually exclusive. Not all wealthy people are stingy, miserable and alone (though these are the stories we seem to tell ourselves sometimes).

Positive Affirmations To Replace Self-Sabotaging Belief #5:

• “I am meant to live a life of joyful abundance!”
• “Everything is working out for my highest good.”
• “I radiate positive vibrations of wealth and prosperity.”
• “I am grateful for everything I have now, and will have in the future.”

As a Spiritual Advisor, I help my private clients and online community clear this negative energy by gently digging into their subconscious and past life memories. I do this using a variety of techniques, including Spiritual Response Therapy (SRT), Spiritual Restructuring (SpR), and Life Between Lives (LBL) hypnotherapy to discover Soul insights about each person I work with. 

Can you do the deep, personal work it requires to clear these financial blocks on your own? Maybe!

Some disciplined, introspective people do. But if you want to make progress faster toward a life of delicious abundance and personal freedom, then a specially trained Spiritual Advisor can work alongside you to facilitate this spiritual process.
