If you’ve ever felt guilty spending money on things that are important to you, the solution is to work on understanding and acknowledging your money stories, and find ways to flow around them. Here are the steps we need to take:

1. Become aware of our money stories.
2. Practice acknowledging and accepting them.
3. Find ways to flow around them, rather than letting them block us.

Unaddressed money stories will continue to get in our way, affecting our ability to sell and spend effectively. But by working on them, we can find more freedom and ease in our relationship with money.

What beliefs and perceptions do you have around money? How do they affect your ability to sell and spend? Start by becoming aware of them, and practice acknowledging and accepting them. And always remember, we can find ways to flow around them, just like water.
