What is money mindset? Your money mindset are the thoughts and ideas you harbour around money, finance and even self worth. Some of your mindsets around money are conscious, and some are unconscious. Unfortunately many people pick up unconscious habits and beliefs around money which are unhelpful. So despite trying very hard “externally” in life, without simultaneously working on your unconscious beliefs on the “inside” you could very well perpetuate a lifetime of financial struggle, or overwork.

So why do we sabotage our own efforts when it comes to money, lifestyle and work? Before we are even 10 years old most of us have picked up at least a few unhelpful ideas around the concept of money. Often this comes in the form of lack, limitation or struggle. Unless your parents had a good understanding of this, they likely embedded some unhelpful ideas in this regard.

Your money mindset might be tied up in unhelpful beliefs such as “money is evil”, “only greedy people are rich”, or that “being poor is somehow more noble than being wealthy.”

Money Mindset – Your Money Mindset Is Holding You Back

What examples can you think of around the concept of wealth or poverty which you may have picked up from your parents? Often parents will repeat their beliefs when you are young, which helps install those beliefs in your subconscious mind – even without your knowing.

Only later, when you come to having money struggles might you be made aware of them. But in many cases, people remain unaware of their unconscious programming, leaving them struggling with money for years.

So how can you change your money mindset if it is so deeply embedded in the subconscious mind? There’s a few ways to do this but often the easiest way is to become conscious of it. When hypnotists uncover phobias, they allow their subject to access the part of their mind which is caught up in an unconscious belief. With a phobia, it might be a fear of water for example. The hypnosis process can lead the hypnotist to uncover the reason why the phobia exists – for example, an unpleasant experience with water as a child.

These experiences shape us and can hold us back in life. So uncovering them can be incredibly powerful for change.

When it comes to a hidden unconscious limiting belief around money, wealth or happiness, your life can often hold the answers. By uncovering your ideas relating to self worth, making money, work and lifestyle, you can often uncover some limiting beliefs.
