Most people have a difficult relationship with money because the ways they earn and spend it are unhealthy.

It’s also ingrained in us by our parents in our childhood that we should never waste money. Those memories pop up quietly in the form of stress, telling us not to spend more than necessary whenever possible. That leaves us constantly looking at how much we have left and then worrying over how to save or earn more! We end up feeling a lot more confused than we need to be. Whenever money is involved, we have this tendency to fret over how to spend it or think we may have made the wrong choices. We feel frustrated earning money, excited when spending it, then worried about whether it will be there in the future. Eventually we get fed up with this pattern and wish for a world without money at all. (Careful what you wish for! The law of attraction will help you realize that dream, at least as far as your own bank account!)

What you are afraid of is not the situation of losing or having no money. You are afraid of being alone. You are afraid of not being able to eat or live. But even if you have no money, if you can be certain you can count on friends or family who can support you graciously, then you have nothing to be afraid of. You’ll feel only joy and appreciation, and that will manifest as a positive motivator in your daily actions.
