Befriending Money

On a regular basis I aim to share a short & sweet musing on tapping into flow: money, time, energy, creativity, inspiration, ease, peace, joy, love, delight, awe, wonder... These golden nuggets will offer a chance to pause, ponder & fill our cups with clarity about the important things in life. Welcome to today's musing on money!

Have you ever stopped to think about your relationship to money, as if it were a friendship? Personality traits of both people included.

What are the personality traits of money? What are the personality traits of you, in this friendship with money? Or perhaps it's felt more like an acquaintance-ship? In that case, may I re-introduce you:

Money, meet Everybody.

Everybody, meet Money.

Who are you around Money? What personality traits come forth that you are proud of? What qualities or characteristics come forth that you are not so proud of? Who are you when Money goes away or is not around? While not simple questions to sit with, they can offer a clarifying view on our relationship with money.

So perhaps you'll join me for a Musing Minute today (you can even set 60 seconds on your phone timer if you want to!) as we ask ourselves:

🤔 If money were a person... how do I want to treat them?

🤔 Who do I want to be, regardless if Money is around or away?

And if you'd like to further explore these types of questions, while signaling safety to the body, brain & nervous system that you are safe in this deepening friendship with money, join an upcoming group offering or book a 1:1 Clarity Cocoon.

Thanks for joining me for this Musing Minute, looking forward to the next one!
