What does journaling have to do with money?
Do you ever feel stuck with some areas of your finances? Whether it’s earning more money, paying off debt, saving more for retirement or trying to get on a budget, if you’re feeling stuck, sometimes it helps to simply grab your journal, pick up a pen and write.
Write down your thoughts.
Write what you’re feeling.
Write whatever comes to mind.
Journaling is an excellent way to overcome your resistance to money because you’re engaging in self-inquiry.
Journaling is simply free-writing.
Journaling is a powerful method for uncovering the underlying emotions attached to money.
Since money is an emotionally charged topic for women, journaling is an excellent way to explore and dig deeper into these issues, creating huge opportunities for personal breakthroughs.
Studies show that the most transformative journaling practice is to write for fifteen minutes a day for four days in a row. Write about the most troubling or bothersome circumstance in your past relating to money. Write in detail about the incident, the emotions you felt at the time of the incident and the emotions that come up as you are doing the writing.
I have seen huge breakthroughs for both myself and my clients using this one method alone.
