Hi there, in this episode I’m is going to be talking to you about the psychology of money, which is basically how your thoughts and views about money and what you possibly heard when growing up has shaped the way you manage your money today.
In one way or another depending who taught you about money – this has shaped the way you manage it today whether you are experiencing financial stress or have money behind you and living a stress free life
I want you to think about the answer to this question…….who was your role model or who did you learn your money management skills from while growing up?
You see a lot of people find dealing with money stressful and very overwhelming. I believe it’s because they don’t understand some of the basic principals to having money work to their advantage. Instead using debt as a way to get ahead but it’s seeing them fall further behind.
There is no doubt that knowledge is power and having good money habits and beliefs about money can see individuals and families enjoy more of the good stuff in life.
Like….being happier.Less stressed.More overall confidence in their life and healthier because they’re not stressed out about money.
So take a listen to see how what your belief is around money.

I can’t remember exactly when I first heard about Mel Robbins and The 5 Second Rule on my youtube feed, however, I know that I was intrigued about some of the stuff Mel was saying and it was making SO much sense at the time.
Well, I’ve finally finished the book and what an awesome read it was.
I think it’s going to be a book that I’ll pick up again and again, as there are so many reminders we need to stay true to ourselves and live the life we desire without procrastination or fear of failure.
I have to say I’m a bit of shocker when it comes to reading books, as I generally have about 4 books on the go at one time.
I so love reading and how the words in some books just pop out and you go “hell yeah”, which is what Mel’s book did for me.
There are so many things we already know on a daily basis we “should be doing” but reading this book gives you a gentle reminder to continue to put certain things back into practice.
I had so so many “take-outs” from this book that I’ve written down and will keep for myself to look over to remind me to stay true, be brave & stop procrastinating.
I’ll do my best to highlight the main ones that I got out of the book, without giving too much away in case you decide to read it for yourself.
So here goes my “take-outs”…
I do the count down with our daughter and didn’t realise it until I read this book and yes the 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 count down definitely works!
How to beat fear & procrastination by using the principals and practises Mel describes.
We are the problem no one else – for whatever is going on in our life.
Trust your gut & yourself more – research confirms the “gut theory”.
Letting go. There are always people who are going to jealous, envious or just plain don’t like you. That’s ok. Stay true to yourself, move on and forgive!
Improve your life by moving and stop making excuses – JUST DO IT!….and
How to stop overthinking things.
We all struggle with the same self-defeating problems.
We all doubt ourselves.
Don’t buy into these feelings….
There you go just a few of my “take-outs” from Mel Robbins book The 5 Second Rule!
An awesome read for anyone who wants to improve some part in their life.
Reading books can inspire us to become more of who we want to be.
Be inspired, read more, love more, live more and just be you – you are perfect exactly the way you are.So embrace you and be HAPPY!
If there’s a book you love then please let me know as I’d love to hear what 📚 inspires you 💝
If you had the magical power to change your life into what you really desired it to be like, would you exercise that power?
Absolutely, of course, you would!
First, you would have to strip away the fantasy and then you would have to get down to the nuts and bolts of what you would really want for your life.
Most people, for a number of reasons, never get past the fantasy stage.
Some are not aware they really could make the change, while others are too lazy or throw up excuses and complaints. After all – change does require effort.
So get serious for a moment and ask yourself this question……. are you prepared to do the work to achieve the life you truly desire?
Let’s take a moment to stop and imagine you are 90 years of age today.
I want you to write down all the things you have done and achieved. I want you to write down every adventure and holiday you’ve taken. Write down the homes you’ve lived in, the cars you’ve driven, the lifestyle you have created for you and your family and how this makes you feel.
Let your imagination go…….
Mmmm, so have you lived the life you had always hoped and dreamed of?
What did you achieve in those last 50 or so years in your life?
Did you live the life you truly desired?
Were their many wonderful memories and adventures?
Did you travel to some exotic places?
Are you now living a very comfortable life and one without money issues?
Is it fun to be able to spoil your family with the money you have accumulated during your working years? and
Is your heart warm with joy from being able to have given to the many charities of your choice?
No…….then maybe it’s time to do something about it don’t you think?
So if you are not where you would like to be and your money just isn’t working for you, then do something about it.
The key is to start building financial muscle/wealth so that over time, choices become a lot easier and less stressful without financial concerns.
It’s about money working to your advantage and not to your bank or financial institutions so they become richer, while you become poorer.
It’s time to up your financial education…..
