“MONEY” – What comes to mind as you read this word?
What thoughts, feelings, images or sensations does this word, “money”, evoke?
Be curious, rather than judgmental. Just let yourself experience your reaction.
You may be surprised that many of your thoughts and feelings about money are contradictory. While you probably want more of it, you may also feel conflicted. Perhaps, you really feel money is “dirty”, that rich people are greedy, that you are somehow unworthy or undeserving, that money is “unspiritual”, or that you’re just not good with money – it’s too complicated. No wonder, you are feeling stuck and experiencing frustration.
Or, perhaps, the word itself brings up feelings of fear, struggle, overwhelm, worry and anxiety. You are not alone. Money in our society is closely tied to our very survival needs.
Money has a profound impact on our life experience. How we think about money and how we see ourselves in relation to money, color and impact every aspect of our lives. We have been programmed since birth. For the first few years of our life we were like sponges, downloading the money messages of those around us and making decisions about ourselves, our self worth, about this thing called “money”, and about our place in the world and whether scarcity or abundance is the norm.
Money is also a mirror – how we handle money is often a reflection of how we manage other areas of our lives.
So, how do we starting changing beliefs and patterns that no longer serve us? How do we increase our money vibration so that abundance can flow naturally into our life? It is a process.
The first step on this path of money mastery is to become more aware of our hard-wired money programming, our feelings, beliefs and attitudes about money, and our self-defeating behavior. These factors make up your current money vibration.
As a Certified Money Coach, I invite you to take the Money Type Quiz.
How to Interpret Your Score: After clicking on the characteristics that apply to you, press “Submit” and you will receive your results. The category in which you have the highest number indicates your primary money type. A score of five or greater in any category indicates your active money types. These are the types that actively rule your financial life and decisions.
A score of four or less represents a passive money type. While passive money types are generally not present or active in your daily life, they can be triggered and become “active” during times of stress or when you fell anxious or fearful about money. Please remember that your money types are not “who you are”, but are indications of “where you are now” in your relationship with money.
To better understand the concept of Money Types, I suggest you read Understanding Money Types. To learn more about the different Money Types and what your score may be telling you about your current money patterns and behaviors, please refer to Money Types Defined on the “Understanding Money Types” Page.
