How to Use EFT to Improve Your Money Mindset<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is well known for helping people calm their anxiety, but did you know that you can use it to help you improve your money mindset, too?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our money mindset is responsible for the way money shows up in our lives. Depending on your mindset around money, you may believe that money flows to you easily and effortlessly. Or, you might believe that money is hard to come by and only shows up with hard work or luck. Whatever you believe about money, that is what becomes your reality. <\/p>\n\n\n

What you focus on is what you manifest<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your outer world is a direct reflection of your inner world. That\u2019s because our beliefs shape our decision-making process, as well as the opportunities we see and what we believe we\u2019re capable of. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, if you have a belief that you have to work really hard to make money, you might only latch on to the opportunities that make you work really hard. Or, you might self-sabotage if you think something is \u201ctoo easy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, how do we change our beliefs so that we can start to bring in financial success?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Figuring out your money blocks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first step to creating a positive money mindset is acknowledging the beliefs you currently have. Negative beliefs about money are known as money blocks. They\u2019re beliefs that hold you back from achieving financial success. Here are a few ways you can figure out what your money blocks are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make a list of your money memories <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is a journal exercise where you write down every memory around money that you can think of. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start with your childhood and write down anything you remember your parents, grandparents, or other prominent adults in your life saying about money. Write down any experiences you witnessed your parents having with money. Did you ever witness someone close to you losing a job or going bankrupt? Did your parents ever argue over money? If so, what did they argue about? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve got all the memories you can think of from your childhood, move up to the money memories of your teenage years and your adulthood. Were you ever fired from a job? Maybe you were denied a raise you once asked for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After you\u2019ve made your list of money memories, look over it and see if there are any patterns that show up. If there are any themes that have shown up more than once, these may have engrained themselves in your mind as a money belief and become part of your money mindset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ask yourself what money traumas you\u2019re currently dealing with<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

What is currently going on in your life that is inspiring you to work on your money mindset? Has anything happened recently that made you think that you need to get your financial life in order? What habits do you have around money? Are there any common sayings that you find yourself thinking about money?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a look at your current reality<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Looking at your current reality is a great way to figure out what your money mindset looks like. Since we live in a reflection of our inner world, our outer world shows us exactly what sort of beliefs we really have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a look at the different aspects of your financial life, like your home, your car, your job, and your paycheck. Ask yourself, what must someone who has this [home, car, job, etc.] feel about money?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, if you have been driving the same run-down, barely working, duct-taped all over car for the past ten years you might have the belief that you have to get by on the bare minimum. Or that you’re not worthy of having nice things. Maybe you believe there\u2019s honor in making do with what you have instead of upgrading to something new, even if it means you\u2019re embarrassed to be seen on the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Use EFT to Improve Your Money Mindset<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After you have a good understanding of what your money blocks are, you can use EFT to neutralize and replace these beliefs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emotional Freedom Technique, also known as EFT or Tapping<\/a>, is an acupressure exercise that stimulates certain meridian points around the body. Putting pressure on these points both calms down the nervous system as well as releases low-vibrational energy created by limiting beliefs<\/a>. In other words, tapping will help you release money blocks and improve your overall money mindset. I\u2019ll explain how to tap below, but to see a visual here\u2019s a video<\/a> of one of my favorite EFT experts, Brad Yates, explaining how to tap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are 9 meridian points in the basic tapping exercise:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
