Our money mind is our subconscious mind that knows what we are REALLY thinking. It knows what action we will most likely take, even though that may not be our intention or desire.
How many times have you decided, told yourself or thought about avoiding that cookie or bag of chips? And when the time arrives that the cookie or chips are offered to you, you eat it anyway?
That is your money mind working here. It KNOWS that when you say something, you don’t really mean it!
How many times have you made a daily fitness agreement with yourself only to break it the next day? That is your money mind hard at work (or maybe not so hard after all!).
Our money mind takes control of our actions, because it knows it can! It knows that when you make a commitment, you don’t really commit. Maybe you do sometimes, or for the first few days, but then after that the monkey mind, KNOWS. It can expect yout o fall back on your words.
Don’t LET your money mind have control! HOW?
Well it’s pretty simple. Don’t make a commitment to yourself that you won’t stick to. And when you DO commit, don’t break your word! Follow through to the bitter end, no matter HOW hard it feels.
The more you follow through with your commitments and goals, the more in control you become, and the LESS control your monkey mind will get.
Your money mind will learn, that when you say yes, you MEAN yes. And when you say no, you MEAN no. Try it! You’ll see.
Start with small goals. Take it day by day. Set one goal for yourself for today, and make it happen. Do that for a week. Then add another daily goal. Stick to those two goals for one week… EVERY day.
Discipline takes practice. The more you practice, the less control you give to your money mind.
