Root to Riches: Ground Your Finances!
🌟 For the next 2 weeks, let’s use the Chakras to uncover and heal our money struggles! 🌟 We’re starting with the Root Chakra, the foundation of your financial mindset. The Root Chakra governs your feelings of safety and security—so if you’ve ever felt anxious, unworthy, or stuck in survival mode, it’s time to get grounded and align your energy for financial success. Examples of Childhood Experiences That Could Create Root Chakra Issues Surrounding Money The Root Chakra forms the foundation of our sense of safety and security, and childhood experiences often shape how we think about money as adults. Here are a few examples: 1️⃣ Growing Up in Financial Instability: - If your family struggled to pay bills, had inconsistent income, or faced eviction, you may have developed fear and anxiety around money. 2️⃣ Hearing Negative Money Messages: - Statements like “We can’t afford that,” “Money doesn’t grow on trees,” or “Rich people are greedy” might have created limiting beliefs about money. 3️⃣ Parental Financial Stress: - If your parents often argued about money or seemed stressed, you might associate money with conflict and insecurity. 4️⃣ Scarcity Mentality: - Growing up with limited resources (e.g., food, clothes, toys) may have created a mindset of “there’s never enough,” leading to fear of spending or hoarding money. 5️⃣ Lack of Financial Education: - If no one taught you how to manage money, you might feel unprepared or overwhelmed, which can show up as avoidance or impulsivity. 6️⃣ Being Denied Basic Needs or Wants: - If you were often told “no” to things you needed or desired, it could result in feelings of unworthiness and difficulty trusting yourself with money.
