Has it been feeling like everyone seems to be talking about “Money Blocks”?
And you’re like
“What the hell is a money block?”
Me too!
I was super confused about “mental blocks” of any kind. Then I started searching and looking it up and realized it’s one of those jargon words. I had already been through my money (mindset) coaching program and my coach trainer never mentioned a “money block”.
In a nutshell, “Money Blocks” are thinking traps that are occurring in your subconscious mind that cause you self-sabotage. There’s a blend of emotional drivers and beliefs in this mix and it can be complicated. I go into how beliefs are formed and modified in this post. Read it if you are interested in knowing how these things work. For right now let’s just talk about what “money blocks” are.
It’s also when the money in your life just floats away with no proof of ever being there. These are also referred to as “abundance blocks” because you are blocking abundance from your life either consciously or subconsciously. You’re being driven subconsciously to sabotage yourself. If you fear being visible is going to be unsafe whether because you aren’t good enough, you don’t believe you know enough, or people might laugh at you then you avoid doing the things that cause you to be visible. This is especially if you know this is most definitely going to help you bring more money into your life.
So, how do you know if you have a money block?
Easy! Money isn’t flowing to you in a way that’s happy and fulfilling. That shows up in your life as:
- You feel overwhelmed, tired, drained, scared, bored, like hiding, etc.
- You procrastinate
- You are a perfectionist (which is only high-level procrastination)
- You’re hard on yourself
- You doing things based on emotional distress like eating, shopping, and sleeping when you could be working on your business.
- You do other things to avoid the money-making things
- You have no follow-through muscle
- You delay asking for your money
- You haven’t asked for a raise
- You haven’t started your side hustle
- You feel vague about your life purpose
- etc, etc, etc!
So as you can see,
If you struggle with taking money-making actions in your life chances are something is working behind the scenes.
But now that you know what a money block is, how do you overcome them? How do you clear money blocks in your life?
More to come on that!
