10 Simple Steps To Change Your Money Mindset Quickly

1. Be Careful What Ends Up In Your Wallet

Most of us are very careless about what we stuff into our wallets, but this is a mistake. Our wallets are intended to carry money, the good stuff. And if you stuff anything in there like receipts, invoices, bills and rubbish you are sending a message out the universe that you have no respect for money and your wallet won’t attract money. So make sure you put money only into your wallet and always keep the notes neat, tidy and flat. Show money respect and it will respect you. It’s also a neat fact that if you keep an amount of money in your wallet the vibration of that money will attract more to it.

And, keep some money in your wallet at all times. Think about the message your brain receives when you open your wallet and it’s empty. The brain perceives ‘I have no money’. However, when you open you’re wallet and there’s always money in there, it gets the opposite message ‘I always have money’. The more money you have in there, the stronger the message. 

It’s simple things like this that can make a stack of difference to your mindset, and your results with money and wealth.

2. Mind Your Language

If you speak about prosperity, you will create prosperity. If you keep saying things like ‘I’m always broke’, ‘I can’t afford it’, or ‘It’s too expensive’, I don’t have enough money’, money will continue to allude you.

Instead of stating ‘I can’t afford it’, say ‘It’s not a priority for my discretionary spending right now.’

Instead of ‘I’m broke’, say ‘I’m temporarily financially challenged’.

Instead of ‘I don’t have enough money’, say ‘Money comes to me now from expected and unexpected sources to meet all my needs, wants and desires.’

When you change your language and the way you frame your current situation, the Universe will respond differently and instead of challenges you will start to see opportunities.

3. Shift Your Focus to Abundance

Our minds love to focus on the worst of everything. That’s why all news reports focus on doom and gloom and we are drawn to shocking and gruesome news like bees to honey. Likewise, our minds naturally focus on the worst of everything. You get what you focus on, so learn to change this one habit and you change your world. Stay vigilant at watching your thoughts and everywhere you go look for and focus on abundance. Grass, trees, birds, life, air, people, cars, food, water, sand, soil, insects, animals, noise, merchandise, ‘stuff’, etc, etc. Your environments are teaming with abundance everywhere you go. Focus on the abundance and that is what you will create in every aspect of your life.

4. Have an Attitude of Gratitude

Similar to the abundance focus, switch your awareness to gratitude in every moment. When you eat, drink, read, pay your bills, buy your groceries, speak to a friend, pat your dog or cat, switch on your lights, turn on your appliances, get dressed in the morning, listen to the radio, hear the birds in the trees, watch your favourite TV show, wake up in the morning, go to sleep at night. We have so much to be grateful for in our lives, but we miss it because we are too busy focusing on the bad stuff. Change your focus to gratitude, and be truly grateful, and you will change your world.

5. Prosperity Spending

We spend a lot of money on meaningless rubbish and then wonder why we don’t have enough. Identify something that makes you feel special. It doesn’t have to be expensive, just something that every time you see it or experience it, it makes you feel abundant and wealthy on the inside. Then make sure it is somewhere that you will see it several times a day. I like to buy myself a bunch of oriental lilies and put them on a table in a central part of the house. They only cost $15 a bunch, but the effect on my psyche when I see them is priceless.

6. Dress For Success

I used to relish in the thought of being able to lounge around in my track pants, ugg boots and sloppy joe’s all day at home whilst I worked. However, I find I am much more focused, organized and effective if I go to a little bit of effort to put on something more professional. I don’t where make-up or anything like that, but just something that makes me feel good about myself. I also make more of an effort when I went to pick up the mail or do the shopping. I act differently and feel very different about myself and am more effective in everything I do. It comes back to your self esteem and self worth. Wear what makes you feel good about you! I’m not sure if that works for guys as well, but for us girls it works a treat.

7. Smile

The simple act of smiling automatically triggers chemicals in the brain which leads to the release of endorphins. So fake it until you make it. Even when you don’t feel like it, just a simple smile for a stranger can not only make you feel better, but the person receiving the smile as well. You can also take this a step further and when asked “How are you?”, reply with an enthusiastic “Fantastic”. You will take the other person by surprise and the response you receive in return really will make you feel a whole lot better.

8. Take time to be still

Our lives are filled with hustle and bustle and our souls yearn for some peace and stillness. Factor in at least 10 to 15 minutes of time for yourself a day to be still, get in touch with your heart space and centre yourself. It will gradually help you to remain calm and centred throughout your day and help you to clear your head so you make better decisions and create more wealth. It’s good for your mind, body and soul, and ultimately, your wallet.

9. Practice Manifesting

The art of manifesting doesn’t just apply to the big stuff. Practice manifesting little things like a cup of coffee, or a call from a friend, or an extra $5 in your pocket. Most people focus on manifesting something huge like a million dollars and wonder why it’s not showing up. You need to build belief. We tend to overestimate what we can achieve in the short term and underestimate what we can achieve in the long term. Give yourself some space by focusing on manifesting some small things to begin with and when those little miracles appear, no matter how small, it will quickly build your faith in your ability to create what you want and the big stuff will come much more easily. Would it be okay if you worked you way up to manifesting a million dollars in 12 months time? I thought so. 

10. Expect Miracles

Miracles happen in our lives all the time. But we miss them because we’ve not tuned our mind to look for them. A chance meeting with a friend. The train you missed by seconds only to catch the next one and sit beside someone who mentions a book to you that ends up being a defining moment in your life.  The message on Facebook that gives you the pick-me-up you needed just at the right time. These are little moments of miracles and they are happening all the time. Open your eyes, ears and mind and expect miracles to occur because they already are. And once you see all the small ones, you will expect big ones too.

11. ‘Thank God I’m Rich’

Many of us feel a sense of loss when we spend money on something like paying the bills, buying groceries, or fees and charges that we would prefer not to have to pay for. This sets up a negative vibration of resistance. Get into the habit of, every single time you spend money on anything, handing over a credit card, cash or through on-line banking, say to yourself, “Thank God I’m Rich”. When this becomes a habit the subconscious mind will start to believe it and to make that your reality. In other words, fake it till you make it!

These are 11 simple steps that will help to create a strong Money Mindset so you think differently about money, take different actions that grow your money, and put you in a vibration where you’re attracting more money every single day. Write each step down and adopt one or two that you can do straight away to start changing your results with money and be empowered to create more wealth and abundance in your life.
