IS YOUR MONEY HAPPY OR SAD?

When I heard this statement I became curious?....... How could my money be happy or sad for that matter. I needed to know more. 

I have always been fascinated by money and have read many books and completed many courses on money. The common thread amongst all my teachers is that Money is ENERGY.

It’s all around us.

Everyone uses it.

We exchange it in order to receive a product or service.

Money is just paper or coin. The VALUE that we place on Money is EVERYTHING.

I started looking into the history of money.

Physical money dates back to approx 3,000 years ago. The first coin was made up of precious metals then paper money was developed. Before this there was a system of exchanging goods for services or a battering system.

Over time we have developed thoughts, feelings and relationships about money. We absorbed what we heard around us from our parents, media, friends, school etc. By the age of seven we had developed our beliefs about money…..good or bad.

Our beliefs are stored in our subconscious mind which is 95% of what we believe.

So if your parents argued about money you may have a belief that

“Money is evil”

“I am not safe if I have money”

‘If I have money I will lose my friends and family”

Look around you…..what do you see in your life?

Our external world is a direct reflection of your internal world. 

If you believe there is not enough money then you will never have enough money - SAD MONEY

If you believe you are always provided for - HAPPY MONEY.

 Do you control your money or does your money control you?

 How do you FEEL every time you have to have to pay a bill or buy a piece of clothing?

The way you FEEL is the ENERGY you are giving to money and this is attracted back to you everyday.

In the book “Happy Money” by Ken Honda: he explains that money has an Intelligence

Money IQ - Intelligence quotient is all about the financial intelligence of money of investing, saving, tax law and general knowledge of money.

Money EQ - Emotion quotient is all about the emotional intelligence we need to deal with our feelings and reactions to money.

 We can have a very high Money IQ but still have a scarcity mindset and can still lose large amounts of money.

At the same time we can have a high Money EQ and not much money in the bank but feel abundant and know that we always have money.

The secret is having a healthy balance of both. 

The two beliefs we hold about money are either SCARCITY or ABUNDANCE.

The belief of scarcity or not enough is an unintentional belief that we have absorbed from our parents that we keep playing out over and over.

Ken Honda lists in this book 10 main emotions around money.

1. Anxiety and Fear
2. Anger and resentment
3. Sadness and resentment
4. Hatred and Desperation
5. Superiority and Inferiority
6. Guilt and Shame
7. Numbness
8. Excitement and Joy
9. Appreciation and Love
10. Happiness
