Your money mindset is important if you’re serious about becoming financially free. Why? Your money mindset dictates how you feel about money, what money means to you and your relationship with it. To have a positive money mindset means there’s no anxiety about not having money or road blocks to you making more of it.

The concept goes, having a healthy money mindset will help you attract more money into your life and keep it because it has positive rather than negative associations for you. You get to become financially free much faster than if your money mindset was unhealthy!

How to attract wealth with money affirmations
Here’s how to use the power of words and positive thinking to increase your own money vibe.
Express for success
When repeating money affirmations, you’re aiming you keep your statements positive and emotional. This is so that you can connect emotionally with what you’re verbalising.
For example, instead of saying “I hate money” say “I am a money magnet.”
It’s also effective if you speak to yourself in the present and not in the future tense. For example, say “I attract money” instead of “I will attract money.” The thinking is, you’re already in the shoes of someone that money comes easily to. You can more easily identify with and be that person.
Repeat your money affirmations in a quiet area with few distractions, where you feel comfortable and safe. Repeat your money affirmation to yourself rather than out loud.
How to release money roadblocks
If money affirmations don’t seem like they are working, try repeating money affirmations in a new way! If you feel stuck, ask yourself “What am I resisting right now?” and repeat an affirmation about releasing resistance towards money instead of focusing on attracting money into your life.
You may just be suffering from what is referred to as a money roadblock.
…money road blocks are the beliefs, habits and stories that stop you from receiving money in the most natural way possible.
Denis Duffield-Thomas, Author of Chillpreneur
In business, money blocks determine things like:
- the prices you set,
- your ability to charge people appropriately for your services.
- How comfortable you feel chasing money that’s owed to you or
- dealing with unreasonable refund requests.
What are your limiting money beliefs?
You can use money affirmations to release blocks around money. Try saying “I release all my money resistance”, and when you feel ready try adding a money affirmation on top of it such as “I am open to receiving abundance in every area of my life!”
Stay consistent with your daily ritual. Repeat your money affirmations for 21 days straight – this is the amount of time that psychologists agree upon.
Keep repeating money affirmations until you notice a difference in how you feel about money. If money is something with significant negative connotations for you, this could take more like three months.
