The Energy of Money
Do you dread dealing with money? Does your finger grow longer when you have bank statements to reconcile? Bills to pay? Do you sometimes dream about winning the lottery - that life would be so much better if you had more money? Do your wants greatly exceed your needs? Do you hoard or let your money flow? Do you regularly spend more than you earn with the attitude of sorting it out sometime in the future? Do you value yourself or others by money? Do you ever wonder why?
As a medium of exchange, we interact with money on a regular basis in more or less the same ways; shopping, managing bank accounts, paying mortgages, operating credit cards, maybe even saving some money along the way.
When we look at our individual relationship with money, each person paints a very different picture. My experience of growing up in a business environment meant I was exposed to the various aspects of money from an early age. Many years later working as a Tax Inspector with the Revenue Commissioners I experienced first hand the distress some people go through with a range of issues with regard to money. Many people experience great stress to do with money that is often not related to the abundance or scarcity of money in their lives.
The interesting part is that the stress around money is not necessarily as a result of a shortage of money as you would expect. Having to deal with money at all fills some people with dread. Many pay large sums to other people to manage their money even when the tasks involved are simple.
Deep fears related to survival and security are often connected to money. When people make plenty of money they often become obsessed with trying to make more. Some dream that life will be better if they have more money. Others believe that having money is a path to happiness. Yet many who have very little money are intensely happy? There is so much we can learn about ourselves by investigating our thoughts and attitudes to money.
If you are interested in questioning your beliefs, attitudes and responses to money it can prove to be a very worthwhile exercise. I can offer you the personalized support to explore your relationship to money and the impact this has on your work or business life and your personal relationships. This will help you to discover if you have an effective strategy already or if you need to develop one. Give me a call on 353-86-8545407 or e-mail me in confidence at
