5 ways you could be blocking money from coming to you
And what you can do about it
One of my most favorite subjects of all time to talk about is money. I know that many people avoid money and don’t like t discuss it but i love money. Without it we couldn’t buy the things we need, pay bills and treat ourselves. My relationship with money is beautiful, i trust it, it loves me back and i spend and release with joy.
Now there was a time where my relationship with money was toxic. I held onto it so tight for fear it wouldn’t come back. I actually avoided looking at my bank account and never would admit i wanted it because that makes us look greedy right? But money, just like anything else is energy. It is neither good or bad. It just is and it is available to us all in any moment.
I know what you are thinking. If it’s always available to us in any moment, then why don’t you have it? Why does it seem so hard? Well, it is because you are blocking it from getting to you.
You see when we are born we are don’t have any thoughts of our own so the thoughts we end up forming are influenced by the things we see and hear. A thought is just a belief we keep thinking over and over again and then believe to be true. So your money beliefs usually stem from what you saw and heard your family say about money and then you saw evidence of those things and took those beliefs on as your own.
Grab your journal! A good place to start when uncovering our beliefs is to write out what we heard our parents and family say about money when we were growing up. Think back to a time when you remember a certain conversation that you overheard, or in my case, a fight you remember your parents having about bills and lack of money.
I want you to know that, those beliefs are not your own and you can absolutely form your own money story and it gets to be great.
Sounds easy right? But you will find that once you have done that, more and more things start to come up. This is good, this is how you reveal your money blocks. Journal them out, every little thought. Then write a line through the page and in red pen write Lies! And then rewrite a new story. One that feels good. Start creating new beliefs.

5 ways you could be blocking money from coming to you
You are settling. Settling for the person that won’t commit, that job you hate, the friends that don’t treat you with respect. Where are you not treating yourself as high value?
A lot of manifesting more money is to do with self love and self worth. When we believe we are worthy of more, we are in a better place to receive it. Now, don’t run out and leave your partner or ditch your friends, but learn how to communicate what you need from the relationship.
You think you have a capped income. You may think this if, for example, you are a teacher that makes a certain amount in a month and then can’t see money coming to you in any other way. That belief is blocking more coming to you. The truth is abundance is all around us. I once worked with a client around her money beliefs and that night she found $200 walking down the street! When we start to believe that we are connected to a limitless stream of wealth, we start to find evidence of that.
You look for outside validation. Are you someone that believes that your value is determined by your partner, your boss, or, other peoples opinions? Well, i am here to tell you that it isn’t. When we start to know our worth, we raise our frequency which then makes us a match to what we want.
Your environment is out of alignment. Obviously Feng Shui was going to be in this blog post!
Hate your couch but believe you don’t have the money to buy a new one? That though alone is blocking money. Start taking action. Shop for the thing you need to replace, no matter what the price is. Talk to the sales assistant like you have all the money in the world. Get in the energy and the money will come. It has to, that is law of attraction.
Get crystal clear on the amount of money that you would like to receive. When we are not clear or we just flip flop on decisions, we are stopping the flow of abundance. The universe, God, or the higher power you believe in, can’t give us what we want if we don’t know how much or can’t decide. Remember money is an energy that likes a plan. Think about the amount of money you want, journal out any limiting beliefs that say you can’t have it, confirm that they are lies, then make a plan or list of things you plan to do with that money.
When we first do this work. Triggers will pop up every day. It takes a while to adopt new beliefs and convince our minds that they are true. You have had years of telling yourself old stories. This won’t happen overnight, but here are some things we can do to help regulate our nervous systems and feel safe with new beliefs.
Breath work. When a negative thought comes up breathe in for 6, hold for 4 and, breathe out for 6 (i used to do this in grocery stores when i wasn’t sure if i had money for things i was buying)
EFT tapping. This is when we tap on certain points on our body that hold trapped trauma and negative emotions. Youtube has a wealth of videos that you can try. Brad Yates is amazing.
Use affirmations like the ones above. Affirmations are a powerful way to create new beliefs about money. Repeat them all day, listen to them or print some out and stick them all over your home.
I have had major breakthroughs when tapping. Give it a try if you have stubborn beliefs, i promise you will fell better.

Curb appeal. When you look at the outside of your home, what do you see? Is it easy to see your house number? Is there weeds? What can you add or change to make it more appealing? Abundance loves to flow to homes that have no challenges.
