The Journey To Financial Freedom
Blog
What does financial freedom mean to you?
I ask this because many people get distracted by what they believe financial freedom should look like. This is usually dictated by external factors such as society, parents, co-workers, friends…..
It’s also dictated by how we’ve been subconsciously conditioned to think about money. These beliefs are often created by the time we’re just 7 years old.
And so as you’ve progressed through life, have you lost sight of what actually makes you happy? What brings you joy?
If you were to now unplug from all the ‘noise’, and allow yourself to dream the dream, what would financial freedom mean to
you?
What choices would it allow you to make?
How would you like your income to flow to you?
Where would you be living and what would you do on a day to day basis?
I want you to dream that dream and understand that it can become a reality! So let’s now look at how you can begin your own journey to financial freedom.
Accepting Your Reality
The next step after dreaming the dream is to then align that with your current reality.
You have to be willing to accept your current financial reality, whilst shifting your mindset to one of expansion and being open to new possibilities.
Affirmations for financial freedom can be incredibly helpful in this process. A powerful example:
‘I am the creator of my life’
You are absolutely the creator of your life and
financial freedom means embodying this on every level. It means stepping into what the reality of your finances look like in the present moment and choosing to work through the emotions and feelings from a place of neutrality.
It means doing this without any blame, shame, guilt or judgment.
A good way to begin accepting your reality is to write out and fully break down your cash flow and expenses. Make sure to include everything including your utility bills, rent or mortgage, cell phone bill, online and offline subscriptions, groceries and travel costs.
Break these down monthly, weekly and daily. Once you have this clear visual representation, you can quickly start to see where you might want to make changes.
What expenses do you feel weighed down by or know that you could live without? If so, choose from an empowered place to let them go.
In contrast, does your morning latte bring you joy or make you smile? Well, that’s what we need to keep in!
Remember, this is about
expansion!
Now, take the same approach with your debts. Could any be reduced to 0% interest for the next 18 months? A phone call to your bank could easily result in a much better outcome than you imagine!
By taking these empowered actions, you’re consciously taking control of your financial reality and building those financial muscles in the process.
Build The Muscle of Holding Money
The energy of true financial freedom is one of abundance. I appreciate you probably won’t hear many financial freedom advisors talk about energy when it comes to finances, but I know how it’s the foundation for Real Wealth and I explore this extensively in my
courses, books and
coaching programs.
Let me ask you; do you find yourself able to earn money and perhaps even consider yourself income affluent, but still have leaky financial containers in the form of being unable to hold that money?
Does it seem to go out the door quicker than it comes in?
Are you still swiping your credit card without much thought?
If so, your journey to financial freedom will involve building that muscle to be able to hold money.
A simple way to do this is to create more financial simplicity and take cash out every week to account for what you need.
It’s incredible how when we hand over cash for something, it creates more awareness of our spending choices - it triggers more of an emotional response and enables us to consider whether that choice is fully aligned.
You could also try keeping a $50 note (or whatever amount feels right to you) in your purse or wallet and not spending it. This cash is your symbol of abundance and every time you see it, I want you to really tune in to that energy.
Step Into The Tests
When we’re evolving, going through a period of growth and peeling away those emotional layers, we will be tested along the way!
The more you observe these tests and recognize your old patterns around money - such as overspending or defaulting back to debt instruments and choosing instead, to stay in full alignment with the life of financial freedom you want to create, the stronger that muscle will become.
This is when the quantum leaps happen and you take your manifestations to the next level!
These tests only show up to allow you to become the true master of your soul. When you’re not heading in the direction of your soul, this is when a crisis comes in - whether that be in your finances, health or relationships to shift you away.
So embrace the tests and step into them from a place of empowerment!
Follow What Feels Light & Expansive
In everything you do and with all decisions you’re faced with, the
journey to financial freedom means following what feels the lightest and most expansive.
This is again, about stepping away from the external distractions and tuning in to what feels right, joyful and aligned to you.
You have to keep following your giggle! If something makes you smile or brings you joy, follow it and see where it leads! Don’t underestimate the power of this.
When we follow our giggle, we open up, we expand and we allow people, opportunities and money to flow in in the most unexpected of ways!
With everything you do on your own journey to financial freedom, it’s about awakening more of your authenticity. Living the life that
you
want to live and being open to how that might show up along the way.
