These Financial Goals Will Change Your Life

To activate the energy of financial abundance, it’s important to set financial goals. You want to know where you’re heading because it’s having a sense of purpose and clarity that creates momentum. In this article, I’m going to share some tips on how to set life changing financial goals that reframe how you look at money and to make it work for you!


Be intentional


To set the law of attraction in motion, there has to be intention, particularly with your money. Relying on what I call a financial ‘one hit wonder’ or not being aware of how your money is flowing is only going to continue the cycle you might have found yourself in. 


There has to be a plan - and one that feels good on a heart and soul level. One of the great things I love about online savings accounts is that you can name them according to your intention. You could set up an account under the name of ‘Canada Fund’ or ‘Car Payment’ for example. When you log in and see that account named as your financial desires (and I encourage you to have fun with this!), it makes you feel even more empowered to intentionally deposit money into that account because it’s in full alignment with what you want to create! 


I also recommend you fund these intentions on autopilot so that when you get your paycheck every month, money is being allocated to those accounts without you even having to think about it. 


Make a regular plan to review your finances


Something I often recommend to my clients is to mark out a time in their diary to
go on a financial date. This can either be with themselves or their partners and something you can do quarterly or a regular timeframe that works for you. It’s important to be aware that our financial goals shift as we grow. Sometimes our circumstances change, which might alter our financial trajectory. Or, what could have been a financial choice ten years ago - or even a year ago, might not be aligned with where we are right now. 


There will be tweaks and you need to allow flexibility. That’s what this is about. Being willing to be flexible whilst also remaining true to your core, heart-led goals. The idea of taking yourself on a date to review your financial past, your current reality and your financial future can be incredibly helpful. You might have found that online subscription that seemed like a good idea 6 months ago, isn’t actually being used as much as you thought and in which case, you have the awareness to then release it and put that money towards another intention that really speaks to your heart now. 


Divide your intentions into 3 buckets


With your financial intentions as I’ve spoken about above, next I’d like you to place these within 3 categories; debt, spending and wealth building. To set life changing financial goals, you need to create clarity and really double down on it. By knowing what portion of your money is going towards paying off debt, what can be allocated to spending (things such as unexpected expenses for example) and what is contributing to your wealth building, you’re going to become one heck of a powerful money manifestor! All because you’ve increased your financial awareness and not living your life by financial default. 


Again, funding these intentions on autopilot is crucial. Make it easy for yourself - use the power of automation to your own advantage and release the control or effort to do it manually, because what you might find is that you negotiate yourself away from it!


Set yourself free from debt instruments


If you’re familiar with my work, you’ll know one of the biggest tips I give on creating financial goals is to become your own bank and release any ties to debt instruments as soon as you can. Why? Because it creates space for financial flexibility and the power of choice. 


This is why thinking about your finances from a past, present and future perspective is helpful because you know exactly what debts you are working towards paying off and can plan accordingly so that you’re not having to rely on them in the future. Once one debt is paid, refrain from purchasing something else that restarts the debt cycle. If you want to have your mortgage paid by the age of 50, what needs to happen to do that? 


Again, this is all about gaining clarity, increasing awareness and importantly, actually implementing the practices. You’ll notice that when you’re setting your financial goals in this way, practices that might have seemed restrictive before are now coming from a place of self-love. They’re a choice – you’re putting yourself in the driving seat of your life! You’ll soon notice how empowering that feels, which creates further momentum and ignites the energy of abundance!


Create energetic space for money to flow in!


When creating financial goals, you have to allow yourself to have fun with it. Allow yourself to dream the bigger dream! When you’re implementing all of the things I’ve spoken about, you know you’re being intentional and you know you’re creating momentum. But it’s also about creating energetic space to allow in further abundance! Taking time out to disconnect from technology, getting out in nature, putting your hand on your heart and truly listening to what it’s telling you can be profoundly life-changing.


Create nourishing experiences for yourself, have fun, laugh, have experiences and spend time around people who are energetically aligned to what you’re looking to create! If releasing debt is a goal, don’t spend time with people who are in debt. Look at your physical environment, your diet and be super aware of what media you’re consuming. Be open to money coming to you in the most unexpected ways! Remember, everything is energy and the more you can support yourself to clear those energetic paths, the more of a manifestor you will become

We change our financial lives by understanding the emotions behind our money.
By Julie Murphy January 6, 2026
Money decisions aren’t driven by logic alone. They’re driven by emotions, beliefs, and subconscious patterns formed long before we ever had our first paycheck.
By Julie Murphy December 10, 2025
Reset Your Money Energy for 2026 Every December, we all feel that pull, the desire to “be better with money next year.” But here’s the secret I’ve seen again and again after nearly three decades of walking alongside people from all walks of life: Financially wealthy people don’t just plan their next year — they energetically complete the one they’re leaving. They close loops. They clear emotional residue. They realign their energy field before they set a single goal. And you can absolutely do the same. As I share in The Emotion Behind Money , wealth is never created by logic alone. It comes from managing the emotions behind your money and understanding that money itself is energy. And in Awaken Your Wealth , I remind readers that energetic shifts begin when you consciously picture yourself stepping into a new reality, while compassionately acknowledging the one you’re standing in now. So let’s walk through the simple year-end process I teach my clients — one that spiritually, emotionally, and financially resets your money field for a powerful 2026. 1. Review Your 2025 Wins & Losses With Compassion Before you step into the new year, look back with the most loving, nonjudgmental eyes possible. I call it neutral observation . Wealthy people don’t spiral into shame when something didn’t go perfectly. They get curious. Ask yourself: Where did I expand financially this year? Where did I contract emotionally or economically? What choices were truly aligned with my values? Which ones came from fear, scarcity, or old patterns? In Awaken Your Wealth , the “Accepting Reality and Awakening” step of PACT teaches that awareness without judgment is how we break old money patterns for good. So breathe. Notice. Write it down. No shame. No spiral. Just truth. 2. Forgive Any Money Mistakes Here’s a truth most people never consider: Every financial mistake carries emotional weight and emotional weight blocks money flow. From my work in The 4 Spiritual Laws of Money , we know that your heart’s energy is more powerful than your brain’s logic, and intention is what redirects energy back into alignment. Forgiveness, of yourself, your past self, or others involved, releases stagnant money energy. Try this: Write down any money decisions from 2025 that still feel heavy. Place your hand on your heart. Say: "I forgive the version of me who made this choice. She/he did the best they could with what they knew at the time.” Forgiveness isn’t about letting mistakes slide. It’s about resetting your emotional money field so you can co-create something new. 3. Create an Energetic Closing Ceremony for the Year This is where wealthy people truly separate themselves; they honor the transition. You can create your own year-end ceremony using whatever resonates from your spiritual toolkit. Here are a few ideas inspired by the intention-setting and clearing practices throughout my work: Light a candle Symbolize releasing the old year and calling in the new. Write a “completion list” Include everything you’re ready to release: debts you’re no longer carrying shame over, relationships you’re energetically cutting cords from, patterns you’re finished reenacting. Burn or bury the list This physical act tells the Universe: “I’m done living from this version of myself.” In The Emotion Behind Money , we explore how inherited beliefs and emotional patterns repeat until they are consciously released. This ceremony is your line in the sand. End with intention Close with one powerful intention for 2026, aligned from your heart: “I choose a new flow of abundance.” “I trust that money comes to me with ease.” “I allow myself to receive the wealth I’ve been working toward.” As The 4 Spiritual Laws of Money reminds us: “The Universe responds to action.” Your ceremony is your spiritual action. Ready to Step Into 2026 Aligned, Clear & Empowered? If you’re craving deeper support with your financial reset, join me for my Emotions Behind Money Workshop in January. If you’ve been feeling the nudge to recalibrate your relationship with money, this is your moment. Let’s make 2026 the year your inner wealth and your financial reality finally match. You deserve abundance and you’re closer than you think. With love, alignment & a whole lot of possibility, Julie ✨
Abundance begins in the quiet moments of gratitude that open your heart and shift your
perspective.

Gratitude isn’t just about listing what you’re thankful for. It’s a frequency: an energetic vibration that aligns you with more of what you love.
