Do you feel like no matter how much money you make, it’s never enough? Are you constantly worried about the future and your financial security? Or do you not even feel like being wealthy is possible for you? If so, it may be time to do some shadow work to heal your relationship with money.
Shadow work is a powerful tool that allows us to uncover the unconscious patterns and beliefs holding us back from achieving financial success or many other great things. In doing this work specific to money, we can shift our mindset, transform our relationship with money, and unleash our wealth potential.
In this blog post, I will share my journey toward healing my relationship with money through shadow work. I will also provide practical tips and strategies to begin your journey toward financial freedom and abundance.
It’s a familiar story: you make a lot of money, but it never seems to stick. No matter how much income you generate, your bank account stays the same, and your wealth remains elusive. Or you are stuck in a job that you do not like or have outgrown. I did this for years! I stayed in a partnership I had outgrown because of my fear of earning alone.
This is because our relationship with money—our beliefs and attitudes about it—prevents us from investing in ourselves and building proper financial security. But there is hope! We can heal our relationship with money through shadow work and create lasting wealth.
My journey toward financial healing began with realizing I had to overcome the limiting beliefs I could build wealth. Then, I had made a ton of money in my career and did not have an excellent financial portfolio to show for it. I was not willing to master my finances for whatever reason.
I needed to confront my fears and limiting beliefs around money. I had grown up with a scarcity mindset; my single Mother constantly worried about not having enough and feeling guilty for not having enough money to buy us clothes or to spend money on herself. Her mindset and, I am sure, my grandparents, etc.... had carried over into my adult life and were holding me back from achieving my financial goals.
I started by journaling about my money story to begin my shadow work journey. I reflected on my childhood experiences with money and how these experiences had shaped my beliefs and behaviors around it. I also examined my current relationship with cash and the emotions and thoughts that came up when I thought about my finances.
Through this process of self-reflection, I could identify the limiting beliefs and patterns that were holding me back. I realized I had a deep-seated fear of failure, preventing me from taking risks and investing in my future. I also recognized that I tended to self-sabotage, often spending beyond my means to satisfy my emotional needs. Think clothes, shoes, food, etc...
With this newfound awareness, I shifted my mindset and behaviors around money. I started by creating a budget and sticking to it, which allowed me to better manage my finances and begin to build wealth. I also started to invest in myself and my future, taking calculated risks and pursuing opportunities for personal and professional growth.
But the true breakthrough came when I started to practice gratitude and abundance, even in the face of financial challenges. Instead of focusing on what I didn’t have, I began to focus on what I did have and the available opportunities. This mindset shift allowed me to attract abundance and prosperity into my life in ways I never imagined possible.
Shadow work is a powerful tool for healing our relationship with money and unleashing our wealth potential. Through self-reflection and awareness, we can identify the limiting beliefs and patterns holding us back from achieving financial happiness and success. By shifting our mindset and behaviors around money, we can create a life of abundance, prosperity, and financial freedom.
I know you’re ready to begin your journey toward financial healing and abundance; start by journaling about your money story and identifying your limiting beliefs and patterns. From there, create a budget, invest in yourself, and practice daily gratitude and abundance. With time, dedication, and a willingness to confront your fears and limiting beliefs, you can unleash your wealth potential and create the life of financial freedom and abundance you deserve.
