An Exercise To Rewire Your Subconscious
Jamie McIntyre offers an exercise in one of his books that he calls the “Meaning of Money” exercise. The purpose of this exercise is to rewire your financial subconscious to determine—precisely—which beliefs are hindering your financial success. It goes a little something like this…
The Meaning Of Money
Although consciously people can link money to pleasure, subconsciously it is linked to pain and harmful negative emotions. With so much negativity undermining your efforts, it is very hard to control your conscious life and take the steps that are necessary to build wealth. But if you can identify those triggers, you can heal and begin to create room in life for financial success. Uninhibited financial success.
The exercise is easy. Recruit a partner and have him or her ask you each of these three questions 20 times (simple one-word answers are fine). Go beyond 20 if you find it’s not enough. Go until you have exhausted your mind and revealed all of that which represents what money means to you.
This is the list of the three questions as provided by Jamie McIntyre and the 21st Century Academy:
1. What is money?
2. What is not having money?
3. What is money really?
It’s a simple list, but very telling. Just to give you an idea, here are some of the responses that Jamie has heard to each of the questions (these are only examples, yours can be the same or entirely different—it’s all about what money represents to you!!).
1. quality, paper, lifestyle, access, freedom, value, commitment
2. feelings of want or scarcity, controlled by outside forces, loss, frustration, pain
3. energy, what we decide it is, choice, opportunity, leverage, power
For now, take this list and let it lie. It is nothing more than a list of your feelings. It means nothing in and of itself. Come back for the next post, and I’ll show you how to put this list to work to see some real results and open your mind for wealth creation!
To Your Continued Financial Success
