In this 5th edition of the #beGrandad top tips on how to achieve happiness, we are talking about money.

My wise old Grandad would say that money doesn’t make you happy. I believe that to be fundamentally true because I believe foundational happiness is an inside job and can’t come from external sources such as money.

That said, I LOVE the support I feel when I am financially fluid. I DO feel happier when I have money in my bank account and I LOVE that I am able to be of greater service to others when I am fully financially supported.

Get Supported!

Grandad taught me to respect money because it guaranteed a more supported life.

If you don’t feel supported financially, life can feel hard because we live in a society that requires it.

Respecting money means a bunch of things that could feel foreign to you :

* love money
* pay money attention
* give money your time
* get to know money

Basically, it’s like having a love affair! You love, honour and respect your partner, right? Same goes with money.

Money is just energy and our thoughts about it govern our experience of it.

If you have belief systems around money like it’s bad or you are not meant to have it or wealthy people are greedy or it doesn’t last or it’s the source of misery and worry …. and so on, well, that means that will be your experience of it.

If you ignore money and pay it no attention (probably because it frightens you) – which could show up in not having a budget, not keeping an eye on your bank statements or having no awareness of what money is flowing into your life – well, as an energetic exchange, how can you expect money to be there for you?

Pay it attention and it will pay you attention!

Get To Work!

I encourage you to explore your deepest beliefs about money.

Write them down as a list and then consider how these beliefs are showing up in your life. Then, choose new beliefs about money that will serve you.

Essentially, create an affirmation against every negative belief.

Burn the list of beliefs that are keeping you poor and religiously affirm the new statements until they become your truth.

I know this may sound too simplistic to work and yet I am living proof that you can change your money story. I am still a work in progress but once upon a time I deeply believed that money was bad, that I didn’t deserve it and that the subject of loving money was terribly icky!

I still have a wealth coach and read books to continue to develop my wealth consciousness – I am committed to respecting money and having it work for me so that I may be of greater service in this world. I encourage you to do the same. I urge you to fall in love with money so that you may live a financially abundant life that is able to offer so much more to the world.

Do you dare to uncover your money mindset and commit to a practice of using affirmations to re-wire your brain to set you up for financial success?

I urge you to create a new relationship with money. Get to know it, love it and respect it.

Remember, you are a creator and you get to choose happiness!

Big love,
