Firstly – there are 2 ways of spending money:
Spending on things you NEED (mortgage/rent/bills/food)
Spending on things you WANT
One feels safe, one doesn’t
And THIS is the reason we are often so afraid to invest money in ourselves.
Why does it feel safe to spend money on the boring stuff?
Because we do it every single month.
And because this spending is so frequent and so regular, it is ‘normal’ to us. Familiar. And familiar feels comfortable. Comfortable = safe.
But does it feel EXPANSIVE?
Does it light you up?
Does it feel like that money is going to change your life?
I’m guessing no
On the opposite side..
When you think of spending money on yourself, what comes up?
Fear?
Guilt?
I ‘shouldn’t’??
Why is that?
Because this kind of spending is not so frequent (for most of us) It is not so familiar therefore it is not so comfortable. And because it isn’t as comfortable as the regular monthly spending, it freaks us out because it feels ‘dangerous’
But let me help you out with this.
It only feels dangerous because it is unfamiliar. This does not mean that it actually IS dangerous.
Think about a time where you did make an expansive investment in yourself – maybe a holiday, or an expensive outfit, or maybe you hired a coach 😉
Did you ever feel poorer? Did you fall apart? Did you die?? No!
What actually happens when you spend money (on yourself/your desires/making your dreams come true) is:
It comes back. Money always comes back. When you think about it, it is just currency, and currents needs to move - in & out, back & forth, to & fro
You make a powerful declaration to the world that you are WORTHY and deserving of your own money & resources
It feels really, really empowering. I'm not denying it can feel scary, especially to make a big investment in yourself but ultimately, doing something for YOU is brave, bold and something to be celebrated. I literally dance in celebration every time a new client signs with me or someone joins my program to celebrate them knowing & owning their worth!
You feel more in FLOW with life. Money is energy. It is just the means we use for exchange these days. Energy needs to FLOW. Once you get it flowing, there is no stopping you. Trust me.
It becomes safe. From the initial investment seeming really scary, once you press pay, you realise nothing bad has happened, you didn't die and the fear turns to excitement for all the you are going to receive as returns on your investment!
Let me share my story…
November 2019. I had just got out of an extremely harmful relationship and I was all kinds of broken. I was at my lowest. I needed something to change and made the (perhaps rather extreme!) decision to run away to Thailand for a month by myself.
Now, at that point in my life, I was on my own, self employed, had very little savings and ‘technically’ (according to my brain) could not afford to go.
But my heart had a completely different message for me. Quietly (but persistently) my heart whispered ‘go to Thailand’ ‘it is important that you go to Thailand’ ‘Thailand is your answer’
Spend the money! Go!!
And so I listened. Despite it costing me (well to be honest to this day I don’t actually know how much that trip cost because I never added it up! And coupled with losing a month’s income, I just didn’t want or need to know) anyway, it cost me a LOT.
But somewhere deep inside, I had this knowing that money is just energy and it needs to flow. And, it ALWAYS comes back.
So I went. And it was PRICELESS.
I would invest that money again in a heartbeat.
When I came back I thought to myself, ‘no problem, I’ll just work & work & work’ and that did work. For 3 months.
And then the world shut down.
Overnight I lost all my work and all my income.
And I had nothing to fall back on. I also was one of the ones who ‘slipped through the net’ when it came to government support.
So, you could say I was pretty destitute!
Now, I had met Scott in December 2019 and despite us only being together for less than 4 months, he moved in in April 2020.
For the next 12 months I taught online, for donations. And that’s how I survived. I earned £7000 that year.
And once all our bills were covered, I invested everything I could into MYSELF.
Because I was still healing (and I also needed to recover financially from literally losing everything!)
At that point, I still was not able to fully receive Scott’s love. I was still recovering from pain.
And then the pandemic added a whole other level of fear & worry, not so much about the virus, more about how I was going to financially cope!
How did I cope?
By SPENDING. By circulating money. By TRUSTING.
I retrained. Upskilled.
💸 I spent more than my Yoga Teacher Training had cost on a Coaching Course (because I realised I had actually been coaching people for years and wanted to be rubber stamped!)
💸 Hired my own coach (who cost me more than my mortgage every month but without her I would still be stuck where I was)
💸 And in early 2021, I invested £3333 in a course with a teacher to finally heal from my pain. We cannot see our own blocks/wounds/shadows, we need someone to guide us. This was INVALUABLE for me.
And after that, EVERYTHING changed!
My relationship with Scott deepened because I had finally cleared the blocks that were protecting my heart and not fully allowing him in. I let him in ❤
My own business started to boom, I launched Finding Freedom (and over the 3 years since then have guided countless women (and some men!) to heal their wounds and find freedom from their suffering)
My health skyrocketed.
And it was all because I trusted.
Remember, it only feels scary to spend money on yourself because it is unfamiliar to your nervous system & brain.
The RELIEF and magic that begins to unfold as soon as you press pay is WILD.
