Meditate Awake

How do you talk about money? Do you speak about it openly? What kind of language do you use when you talk about money — is it mostly negative, mostly positive, or balanced? As we grow up, we absorb impressions from everyone around us. And many of us integrate an understanding of money that holds us back in later life. For example, you might subconsciously learn that money is bad, or that it’s greedy to want money, or that people like you don’t earn much money. The way the adults around you talked about money when you were a kid probably still influences how you think about money today. Subtle things like secrecy between parents regarding their spending; justification of purchases; and negative phrases about money all get into our minds and stick with us. You can change the way you feel about money to welcome it into your life more easily. Start with this question: how much do you truly want to earn?
