Align, Shift & Maintain Your Money Mindset

By AJ Johnson

Our current economic state may have many of you questioning your understanding of Money and Wealth. You may be asking yourself:

Do I really understand what it takes to become wealthy enough to get through this unpredictable time?’’

Was I taught the right money principles?’’

Do I view money as something evil due to my upbringing or as a resource?’’

This state of confusion may be difficult to navigate on your own due to our natural ability to deflect things that seem too difficult to face. It almost seems like we are staring at a full page of letters that are in no order, smeared all over the place. Then, we are left to place things where we feel they best fit. The problem with that is we are only able to put words together that we are taught. We cannot form words or habits that we don’t know about. That fact is why I chose to plant myself in the financial industry and extend a branch to those who desire to learn how to better their financial situation, especially now.

Aligning yourself with whatever goal you have that will either increase or organize your income is the first step. The one thing you were taught in school that can help you understand how money really works is the Law of Attraction. Any opportunity that you have been presented with was not a coincidence– you focused and aligned yourself with that promotion, speaking opportunity, partnership, or any other amazing accomplishment. Do you think MVPs get trophies without doing anything to support their team? No, they understood the goal, became the solution, and in return received recognition. In this conversation, recognition is the currency.

Once you are clear on what your goal is, you must be open to the initial shift of your perspective, mindset, and learned behaviors. The idea of unlearning and de programming can be a little uncomfortable. Imagine learning an entire system for application processing at your current job and you have consistently used that same system for 25 years and suddenly then a new technology comes along that makes processing time quicker and your workload more manageable. The end goal sounds INCREDIBLE, but the learning part is not always fun. As creatures of habit, we must be willing to make the necessary adjustments to accomplish that goal or we will miss out on a substantial number of opportunities in life. This step is usually where people run. Before you do that, let me explain things in an easier, more digestible way.

The best way to shift your money mindset is to study what wealthy people do and speak. Start attending their workshops and read their books. Find that one wealthy person who speaks your language and pays close attention to what they are very directly and intentionally telling you to do. This does not mean you will just jump into a massive pool of wealth out of nowhere, but you will have the tools to make it happen which is something you did not have before.

Acknowledging that a tiny part of your money mindset shift is extremely valuable. Why? Because the difference between where you are and where you want to be is not just money, time, and action, it's access. You must access the information first and then apply the action with your money understanding that time is your most asset that is running out expeditiously.

Maintaining a healthy money mindset despite any economic or life crisis is only difficult if you have not taken the time to nurture and elevate your relationship, emotions, and understanding of money. Finances are a part of our lives whether we like it or not. By no means am I asking you to worship money, I am asking you to educate yourself just like you would for any level of education, degree, or license you have. Most of the world will do whatever is necessary to excel at something they believe will help them gain access to a better lifestyle but will not take the time to get organized and learn how money really works first. Once you understand the pillars of wealth and financial wellness no economic crisis will scare you because you will know how all the economic waves work and how to ride it.

In summary, you must commit to de programming and unlearning habits or patterns that are not working in your life to develop a healthy money mindset in 2023.
