Money Excuses. Aren’t You Done Blaming Money?

by Nicole's Blog

I don’t like to blame money for my challenges.

I do not like to use money as an excuse to not get my needs met.

I especially am aware of my money excuse when I get an opportunity that launches me outside of my comfort zone.

How do you know if you are using money as an excuse to tap out of shining your light.

“I remember saying to my mentor, ‘If I had more money, I would have a better plan.’ He quickly responded, ‘I would suggest that if you had a better plan, you would have more money.’ You see, it’s not the amount that counts; it’s the plan that counts.” – Jim Rohn

You may recognize you are in a money story when your subconscious says things like:

“I’m not good enough to deserve that.”
“That scares the sh*t out of me.”
“No one will want my service.”
“I can’t do that, I don’t have enough skills or certifications.”
“Everyone else is better than I am. I am not good enough.”
“I’m in service to others, I don’t need money.”
“Money is bad.”

Money is an exchange of energy.

You place the charge and the narratives on it. Good or bad.

Your relationship with money is related to your shadow stories as much as anything else.

Money can be an excuse to not commit to your own healing.

Money is an excuse to not step into your power.

Your economic security does not lie in your job; it lies in your own power to produce – to think, to learn, to create, to adapt. That’s true financial independence. It’s not having wealth; it’s having the power to produce wealth. – Stephen Covey

Do you know that money will go up, down, left, right, and completely sideways? Like all energy it is mutable and ephemeral.

Money is a great exercise in learning to trust yourself and life. It’s an opportunity to surrender.

Money represents how much you value yourself, what you believe you deserve, and what your priorities are in life.

So the next time you go to say, “I don’t have the money.” be honest with yourself and your voice! Is that really true?

Might you rather say, “I don’t value this”, or “this is not important to me right now”, or “Actually I realize I don’t believe in myself.”

Don’t blame money.

BEING IN YOUR PERSONAL POWER + TRUTH BRINGS YOU PROSPERITY.

Feeling strapped by time and money?

by Nicole's Blog

Let me tell you something…your lack of time or money is actually an excuse for not getting your needs met.

I know what you are thinking…”this is going to be another story about the ‘so called’ illusion of time and money, but its freakin’ real for me lady!”

I hear you. I am in and out of these programs too. 😉

Getting your needs met is about healing yourself, stepping into your power and living your purpose.

Let’s look at time.

Lately, I’ve been witnessing so many women who are “time-strapped”.

Look, I’m a single mom, with two start-up entrepreneurial businesses and have only so much time in the day too. I get it.

Yet, what makes women feel time-strapped, limited, or overwhelmed is often fear and a few other culprits related to it.

You may recognize these as your new time excuse.

  • fear of success or failure
  • perfectionism
  • lack of commitment to sitting in meditation or a daily practice that connects you to your Higher Self/God
  • inability to prioritize or manage time efficiently
  • a feeling of “not good enough” or “unworthy” or “less-than” that keeps you playing small
  • stuck in comparison
  • creatively overwhelmed with trouble executing

Do you know that time stretches when you sit down to meditate (see how long 15 min feels!)?

How much time would you save if you didn’t have to edit all those videos and just hit FB live?

Where does the time go when you are leaking your energy all over social media and not applying yourself to your goals?

Read the list above and be truthful.

Are you not getting your needs met because of time?

Let’s look at money.

This money thing, I’m so over it. Aren’t you?

It goes up, down, left, right, completely sideways and prosperous (and then the car breaks down.)

To me, I’m realizing its an exercise in how much I can trust myself and life and surrender.

Money is how much you value yourself and your offerings.

You may recognize these as your money excuse:

  • fear of success or failure
  • need more skills certifications and letters behind mine name to prove I’m worthy and able
  • lack of trust in the ability to use it, manage it
  • everyone else is more in need than me, I can put myself last
  • I’m “not good enough to receive it” or “don’t deserve it”
  • money is the root of evil and shouldn’t be connected to healing or service

Our relationship with money is related to our ego addictions and shadow stories as much as anything else.

As women, it’s especially about breaking through the victim, martyr, persecutor and rescuer syndromes!

We use money as an excuse to not commit to our healing, or not step into our power.

How much money would you save if you didn’t feel like you had to have 20 certifications to start your healing practice?

What kind of money would you make if you believed in your capacity and the voice of your Higher Self?

Describe the success you may have if you loved yourself, valued your abilities, asked for support and understood what you deserved?

Are you really not getting your needs met because of money?

The next step.

Commit to yourself.

This is a practice.

There is no magic bullet.

You can’t hear the whispers of your heart from the pain of your inner child, past stuck emotions and old lineage patterns.

You need to sit and connect with God.

Your purpose is within buried under a lifetime of muck.

Heal.

When you heal, you have the ability to see with clearer perception.

You can make choices with more discernment.

You reclaim your power.

You become more responsible and less reactive.

You gain the ability to feel and operate with the heart of compassion.

You connect with trust, for yourself, others and life.

You find stability, abundance and the creative flow of the Universe.

You ask for support.

You connect with your Purpose.

And, Thrive.

Don’t let money prevent your happiness

by Nicole's Blog

I want to know your thoughts on this…my download that I wrote this morning.

For the majority of my life I used the excuse and societal programming “I don’t have enough money” to prevent me from doing things I wanted to do.  I’ve never made a ton of money. My largest income to date is $55K. I’m 42 years old. AND…I can pay all my bills, travel the world, be debt free, live on Venice beach, give to charity, have a new car, continually educate myself, get healings/massages, gift to my friends, play and eat well. I’m content and creative!

My message:  Don’t let money prevent your happiness and be the obstacle to getting what your soul really desires. Money is a mask for fear of taking risks and an excuse for not prioritizing yourself.

The lack mentality is so prevalent today. When your soul has passion for something, go for it and don’t let anything stop you!  The thing is, our society tricks us into believing that we need certain materials things. We have shifted our priorities away from our own healing, nurturance and ability to share.  We have become hoarders and slaves to material pressures. When you start to prioritize your heart, you can actually receive the gifts of true wealth, love and kindness.   Your heart recognizes the ability to share and when you can share, what follows is abundance of the heart, contentment and support.

In my experience, when I decided to stop running the scarcity program so many doors opened for me and what I needed appeared. I am still working on my relationship to money. I have had real fears and programming around it, instilled in me since birth.

I stopped hating money and using it as an excuse to shine my light.  I decided to treat it as an energy exchange only. I began to let it flow out naturally and to appreciate where it was going, to whom it was helping and would be grateful for it leaving my hands. I also began to let it flow in naturally because I could see that I truly deserved it coming to me for what I offer to the world as well. I tried not to get too entangled with it as being a symbol of materialism and viewed it as a symbol of exchange. Burning Man taught me about the gifting economy and I’ve begun to apply it more truly to all aspects of my life.

I’m learning that it represents an exchange that I co-create with just as much as I can co-create with the exchange of time. I can offer my services to people that help them feel well and they have talents that they can share with me. That in turn helps support me to give more and the cycle of love unites us. Time and money disappear, we become an exchange of love. When you give from your heart’s intention its energy is of the powerful Creator. Love begets more love.

What I have learned is that when you invest in yourself and your happiness abundance comes in many forms. If you believe you DESERVE happiness and you clear your vessel, the pathways will appear.  The universe co-creates and conspires with you if you BELIEVE in abundance.

Here are some things I have discovered around creating abundance:

1) Heal your wounds, limitations and relationship to the Self so you can believe you deserve abundance, love and money. You need to start with YOU.  Then you can help others.

2) What do you want to share with the world?

3) Do you have the skills/ability to offer this to the world?

4) Invest your time and energy into creating a toolbox that you can fill with all sorts of magical things to offer the world.

5) Don’t let anything stop you.  When there is a will there is a way.

6) Think creatively.  There are always creative ways to receive so you can give. Trade your time, assist a mentor, volunteer, share costs with a group.

6) Your happiness and abundance is not about money –  it is about your deepest desires!

7) Be clear about what your soul is here to do. The rest will come in time.

8) Your abundance and happiness depends on sharing it with those around you.

How do you create more abundance in your life?

I would love to hear your thoughts.
