Money

#Money ?? is still not a #priority but #financial #freedom is!

When I opted for psychology, my dads friend warned me that I will make never make enough money. In spite of being the scared kitten that I used to be, I had the audacity to say, money isn't the priority but #jobsatisfaction is!

I have come a long way since then. Even today 'Money is still not a priority but financial freedom is'!

For which I need to do my #planning adequately and continuously. This is a whole new thing to me. To be making #wisedecisions around money and spend consciously and responsibly is a skill am mastering and also to be able to fix #reasonable, #competitive yet #affordable fee/charges for my session is something am still working on: #guiltfree, of course I deserve it after having spent over a decade on learning the #skills, #mastering, #learning, #unlearning and #relearning to become a #practicingexpert. I still remember how earlier, I would #hesitate to ask and obviously people wouldn't offer to pay irrespective of how much they loved my session.

Until, I learnt to say 'No'. Obviously, I still do it for free when I know the other cannot afford or give discounts without #negotiating at times, I really care for people and I don't want anyone to not be able to afford. But it's uncomfortable when people can afford but yet start negotiating like they do when buying vegetables from even a local vendor who definitely isn't going to walk away a millionaire even if you pay a few extra penny! Ha ha, I know I caught you, we all are guilty of having done that!

'Dont you consider yourself #worthy enough to #invest on yourself' (Thinking out loud)

To be able to keep a record of the money I earn, and what I spend on is something I have tried and failed at earlier but am hopeful I will keep getting better at it by day although its not the skill by choice, but a #priority.

Yet another thing #entrepreneurship taught me is that, you need to do what you love, yet you also got to learn to do what is more of a prioriry and keep doing consistently, so that I can have it all sorted and not have something affect my focus time and again!

Folks, stop #attaching too much significance to money, it's just an exchange of #energy. #Value it, treat it right, be #grateful and know that money can flow to you #effortlessly as against the #conditioning we have been fed with that money is evil/hard to get. If you #believe you #deserve, it will flow when you have worked on the #blocks #resisting it!

I often keep hearing people tell me: Let me sort my finance first, then I will attend a session. I need to burst the bubble for you. It doesn't work out that way, you need to work on #fixing yourself first. None of us have it all #intact. That's when you can sort the other things: #relationships, #career #finance et al. It won't work the other way around.

Even when splurging on things we aren't sure of using, we don't think twice. Even, am guilty of it. I have borrowed money to buy things which I have never used! But when we have to invest on ourself or our growth, we think as if our life is at #stake.

Most of my clients are #happy, #satisfied and #grateful after a session with me but there are a select few who even after telling me how mindblown they are with the session, the moment it comes to paying ruin the whole experience. If only, they could focus more on the value they got, then what they paid/pay me, am sure the impact would be wonderful: we all know how #powerful #gratitude is! Because we definitely spend so much #mindlessly because its a #lifestyle hazard these days, shopping at malls, sugar loaded highly priced coffes, liquor binge parties. I obviously have nothing against these as long as you're mindfully doing it.

Quoting what I recently read by Teal Swan: "The law of giving and receiving is simply this: In a universe where the most absolute truth is that of #oneness, you can not ever take, without taking from yourself. And you cannot give without giving to yourself. That is why those who give, get back and those who take, are taken from".

Be #grateful to recieve as well as give and do it with #pleasure! I hope that's not too much to ask for!
