Money’s Drama Cycle 🌀
Have you ever spent a weekend finally getting your money organized, maybe setting up a budgeting app and looking through your accounts?
Then you're strict with yourself for about a week and feeling empowered, and then … you spend your rent money on a fabulous dress you didn't need, ignoring your plan, and you tell yourself again “I'm just bad with money”?
You feel like crap, out of control, and you can't trust yourself.
And yet, you try again. Because deep down you're thinking to yourself, “I'm not a dummy… why does it seem other people can figure this out?”😵💫
You don't need another expert telling you to “spend less”. You need to understand and EMBRACE the cycle instead of fighting against it.
Deep down you know your struggles with money are emotional, so you have to work on the emotional part before organizing your money. It's like buying a cute workout outfit but not going to the gym. It's time to slow down, and have a deeper, less comfortable conversation about just how emotional your money choices are. Doing this messy money work will make the practical aspects much clearer.👓
You'll begin to view every slip-up as a lesson to be learned, a reminder of your beautiful imperfections. You may even start to grow your self-compassion about how much you're growing.💗
EACH CYCLE WILL BE LESS DRAMATIC, if you're mindfully observing them with kindness and love.
