Wait…what, you want me to be comfortable with being uncomfortable? You are probably thinking, “that doesn’t sound good to me”. I hear you, but stay with me.
Does money conversations make you uncomfortable?
You can learn from discomfort.
Sometimes we have to do something a bit uncomfortable that we don’t care for, in order to show ourselves that discomfort won’t hurt us. A bit of discomfort will make us stronger on the other side. When we tell ourselves we can’t or we don’t like it, but we believe in ourselves to try, and try the thing, that shows our brains that actually, we can.
This applies to managing our money and having financial freedom. It is truly possible to change your journey.
I understand the stress and anxiety that can come along with living paycheck to paycheck, or the uncertainty of the future and facing retirement.
Getting your finances in order will change your life! I want you to enjoy financial freedom and live the life you want.
Have to be Willing to be Uncomfortable
You can do something a little out of your comfort zone and it will make you stronger mentally and emotionally on the other side.
This applies to our money and our mindset round our money. Do you get uncomfortable, stressed, or anxious when it comes to thinking about your money?
For me personally even though I love working with numbers I haven’t always made the wisest decisions when it came to money. It was actually pretty stressful when it came to crunching our household numbers, our finances. So when it came time to review the finances and pay the bills it would always be VERY uncomfortable.
“I Can’t” Mindset
Do you find it comfortable to stay in the mindset of “I can’t” instead of stepping out of you comfort zone and trying something new? Instead of allowing yourself to get a bit uncomfortable and face your finances you stay stuck, you just avoid them and push away the emotions hoping for a different outcome?
Get curious with yourself as to why you decide to stay there. Do a self evaluation, here are some helpful questions you can ask yourself:
- Is this something I want to keep thinking or telling myself when it coms to my money?
- What will life look like tomorrow, in a week, month, year or beyond for myself if I keep telling myself, I can’t?
- What is the benefit of staying in that mindset?
- What is the disadvantage of staying in that mindset?
- What would it look like if I allowed myself to get uncomfortable and make changes around my money?
- What would life look like tomorrow, in a week, month or year from now if I made financial changes now?
What Are We Trying to Avoid?
So many of us try to avoid discomfort, we are trying to avoid an emotion in our body. An emotion is a vibration in our bodies that can’t hurt us. It is one way our bodies communicate with us. We can use that vibration or emotion as a learning tool. So what can you learn from discomfort? What is the benefit of experiencing some discomfort now and then?
Comfortable With Discomfort
When we allow ourselves to have some discomfort we can grow.
Let’s use strength training for example. Say you want to be get stronger physically. Lift more weight to be stronger, maintain and build bone density and muscle.
How do you do that? You have to show up even when you don’t always want to. You lift a little more weight than the last time, or do one or two more reps than the last time. Is it a little uncomfortable, more than likely it is. What is the the gain, benefit or win on the other side?
You showed yourself that you can do something challenging, hard and a bit uncomfortable. You keep building strength and muscles.
Is a Better Relationship With My Finances Possible?
This same “discomfort” can be applied in all areas of life, including in our finances and our thoughts and emotions around money. What thought if you were to invest your time and energy now into having a better relationship with money and your finances?
When you take the time and energy to make that investment now, you will get a return on that investment in the days, weeks and years to come. Being willing to invest to make a change in your life. In order to achieve the next level of greatness you have to step out of your comfort zone and be willing to get a little uncomfortable. It is worth it in the end. As you do this, all of that discomfort builds your self-confidence. You truly can learn to have a positive relationship with your money and your finances.
You can be confident in yourself no matter what. You can have confidence in who we are as a human, as you grow, as you become the next best version of yourself and experience true financial freedom.
I truly want you to experience the relief from stress and anxiety when it comes to your finances and to live the life you want.
