All healthy relationships require attention; your money is no exception. Improving your relationship with your money means understanding how your thoughts, feelings and attitudes about it came to be so deeply ingrained in your belief system; how they impact your financial decisions: which ones work for you and which do not.
As you begin to recognize how your beliefs have defined your relationship with your money and your financial behavior in the past, you will also begin to connect to how and why your relationship contributes not only to your financial behavior but to your financial circumstances. Then you will be in a much better position to know what changes need made and how to begin making them.
Your journey to a healthier relationship with your money is yours alone to make and yours alone to benefit from, since it is as unique as you are.
It begins with healing: Heal is a verb which means to:
- Make healthy, whole, or sound.
- Restore to health
- Free from ailment.
Healing of any kind is a personal undertaking deserving of attention and respect. When you give it the time and effort it deserves you will find yourself on the path to a more emotionally and financially stable future.
AUTOBIORGRAPHY
From: “Healing the Child Within” Charles Whitfield, MD
Chapter 1
I walk down the street
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I fall in
I am lost…I am hopeless
It isn’t my fault
It takes forever to find a way out
Chapter 2
I walk down the street
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I pretend I don’t see it
I fall in again
I can’t believe I’m in the same place
But it isn’t my fault
It takes forever to find a way out
Chapter 3
I walk down the street
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I see it there
I still fall in…it’s a habit
My eyes are open
It IS my fault
I get out immediately
Chapter 4
I walk down the street
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I walk around it.
Chapter 5
I walk down another street!
