119 II How to Turn Financial Fear Into Fuel and Build Lasting Financial Peace with a Simple System

SHOW NOTES:
In this podcast episode, we learn how to stop being scared about money and start feeling good about it! Here’s what we talked about:
Name Your Fears: Say what makes you worried about money, like being scared of debt. This helps make those fears smaller.
Change Your Thoughts: Instead of saying “I can’t get out of debt,” think “I’m making a plan to pay it off.” What we tell ourselves is important!
Use Fear as Energy: Fear can help you take action. Let your worries push you to be stronger and do better.
Set Clear Goals: Make simple, clear goals, like saving a little money each month. Knowing what you want to achieve helps you stay on track.
Be Ready for Problems: Sometimes things go wrong, like having to pay an unexpected bill. That’s okay! Make a plan to handle these problems and keep going.
Think You Can Learn: Instead of saying “I can’t do this,” say “I’m learning how to manage my money.” Every mistake is a chance to learn something new.
Celebrate Your Wins: Whether it’s a big or small success, like saving some money, take time to celebrate! This makes you feel good and encourages you to keep going.
Have Fun with Small Goals: Break big goals into smaller steps and enjoy each little victory. The more you do this, the more fun it will be!
By following these steps, you can turn financial fears into a positive journey towards feeling great about money!
