Let’s start by stating the obvious:
Worrying about money doesn’t help you make more of it.
Yet most people live with a low-level anxiety loop around finances — not because they’re lazy or reckless — but because their mindset is running the show.
And here’s the kicker:
A scarcity mindset has nothing to do with how much money you have.
I’ve met broke people who feel rich and multi-millionaires who constantly feel like they’re running out.
The difference? How they think.
Scarcity Is a Mental Habit — Not a Financial Reality
Worry is believing your fear-based thoughts are true.
And when it comes to money, that’s a dangerous game.
When you believe “there’s never enough,” you play small. You cling. You stress. You make choices from fear instead of freedom.
But when you shift from lack to possibility, you create space for more money — and more peace — to flow in.
How to Stop Worrying About Money and Think Abundantly Instead:
Here are 8 ways to shift your relationship with money from stressed to sovereign:
1. Audit Your Money Beliefs
What did you learn growing up? That money is hard? That rich people are greedy? That it’s shameful to want more?
Question it all. You didn’t choose these beliefs. Time to challenge them and install better ones.
2. Write It All Down
Grab a notebook. Dump every worry, belief, or fear you have around money.
This gets it out of your head and into the light — where you can work with it.
3. Face Your Financial Fears
Avoidance breeds anxiety.
Face the bank account. Open the bills. Look at your habits without shame.
Awareness is the first step toward freedom.
4. Anchor Into the Present
Worry is always future-based.
Right now, in this moment, you’re alive. You’re breathing. You have options.
Train your brain to return to now — where solutions actually exist.
5. Take Small Aligned Action
Create a basic budget. Start a savings jar. Sell one thing. Cancel that unused subscription.
Action is the antidote to anxiety. Start small. But start.
6. Get Financially Literate
Read a book. Take a course. Watch a YouTube video on debt elimination or investing.
You don’t need to master Wall Street — just learn enough to feel powerful, not paralyzed.
7. Speak Kindly to Yourself
You’re not “bad with money.” You just haven’t been taught differently yet.
Forgive past mistakes. Be patient. Progress > perfection.
8. Celebrate Every Win
Paid off a credit card? High five.
Skipped a $6 latte and saved it instead? That counts.
Track your wins and let them build momentum.
The Truth: You Don’t Have a Money Problem — You Have a Thinking Problem
Money doesn’t show up for people who chase it with fear and shame.
It shows up for people who are open to receiving, aligned with value, and willing to shift the story.
You’re not behind. You’re not doomed. You’re not broken.
You’re simply in the process of rebuilding your relationship with money — and it starts with mastering the mindset that creates it.
