Psychology of money: how our attitudes affect welfare
Blog Dolarisutas
When it comes to money, most people immediately begin to talk about income, expenses, savings and material purposes. We are looking for external tools: budgets, planners, strategies. However, in the author's blog Dolarisutas We are increasingly talking about money not as numbers, but as a manifestation of the inner world. Because real financial stability does not begin with a wallet, but from the head.
The psychology of money is an area in which personal history, emotions, life scenarios and behavior are connected. And often it is internal attitudes that determine how easily a person treats money, whether he is able to earn, retain, accumulate and increase resources. Today we study how exactly our beliefs affect financial well -being and what can be changed to open the way to greater clarity and freedom.
Introduction: not money controls us - we control the attitude to them
Money is a tool. But the attitude towards them is built on much more subtle matters: upbringing, personal experience, social models, fears, expectations. From early childhood, a person hears phrases that become the basis of his financial thinking: “money is evil”, “it’s a shame for being rich”, “you will not be earned honestly”, “there is always not enough money”. These words, quietly grown into consciousness, form beliefs, according to which a person then builds his entire financial life.
And while these attitudes remain unconscious, they limit the development, restrain growth, and make you repeat the same scenarios. A person can change work, get an education, even earn more - but an internal ban, laid down by beliefs, will all the time return him to a familiar level.
Main part: what is financial attitudes
1. Beliefs as invisible guidelines
Financial attitudes are deep, often unconscious beliefs that determine our attitude to money. These are the internal rules by which we make decisions: how much to spend, how to postpone, what to agree on, what to avoid.
These installations are formed under the influence of:
- family models of behavior (how parents behaved when there was a lack of funds, whether they argued about money, saved up or spent);
- cultural and social context (which is considered the norm in society);
- personal experience (first earnings, loss, lack of shortage).
For example, if in childhood a person saw that money always gets through stress and fatigue, then he can unconsciously avoid easy earnings, considering it “wrong” or “unworthy”. Or, conversely, if the success of parents was accompanied by the lack of time for the family, he can internally abandon growth, afraid to lose intimacy and warmth.
2. How beliefs manifest in life
Sometimes a person does not even notice that his behavior in the financial sphere is not subordinate to logic, but to internal attitudes. Here are a few examples:
- Constant dissatisfaction with your income, even with its objective growth.
- Feeling guilt for purchases for yourself.
- Fear of asking a decent payment for your work.
- The tendency to impulsive expenses in moments of anxiety or dissatisfaction.
- Difficulties in order to start accumulating.
All these manifestations are not a consequence of laziness or inevitability. This is a reflection of those ideas that have been formed in consciousness for years, and then became an integral part of the personality.
3. Why is the change in installations important for the well -being
Welfare is not just a stable income. This is a feeling of sufficiency, freedom in choosing, the ability to live with respect for their needs. And it begins with confidence in itself, to life, to its right to resources. When beliefs work against a person, he constantly lives in shortage - even with visible comfort.
Changing installations helps:
- discover new financial capabilities;
- start using your resources consciously;
- free from guilt for well -being;
- learn to take care of money without fear of their losses;
- To form long -term goals and achieve them without an internal conflict.
4. How to realize and transform the settings
The first step is an honest observation. What thoughts come when talking about money? What emotions arise upon receipt or loss of funds? How comfortable is it to talk about your financial purposes?
It is useful to start a diary in which to fix your reactions to monetary situations. Over time, you can see repeated templates, thoughts, phrases that are starting automatically.
The next step is to ask yourself questions:
- Who and when told me that money is difficult?
- What will happen if I start earn more?
- Which part of me does not allow me to feel confident in financial matters?
Working with installations requires time, patience and care. This is the path from external logic to internal trust. And it is there, inside, that the real change begins.
Conclusion: Financial freedom begins inside
The psychology of money is not about calculations. This is about the attitude. About how we allow ourselves to feel confidence, see the value of our work, respect the borders and strive for prosperity without a sense of shame.
Blog Dolarisutas Created for those who are looking for a balance: between reason and intuition, actions and sensations, the result and the inner world. And the topic of installations is one of the key on this path. Because by changing thinking, a person changes the context of his life.
Financial well -being does not begin with external events. It is born in the moment when we allow ourselves to live not out of fear, but out of trust. When we choose to think differently - and thereby open new horizons.
