47 Limiting Beliefs About Money And How to Release Them Right Now

I've known Mandy Evans for about twenty years. She is a remarkable belief-clearing counselor. I asked her to compile a list of the most common negative or limiting beliefs about money that she could find. I also asked her to tell us how to remove them. The reason for my request is sometimes people give but have beliefblocks keeping them from receiving. Clear the blocks and the prosperity comes. The following article by Mandy offers a truly brilliant way out of the maze of limiting beliefs about money.

What you believe about money will play a greater role in your level of prosperity and in your enjoyment of that prosperity than most people imagine.

In fact, most people do not imagine the role beliefs play in their financial success or lack of it. Most people never even think about their beliefs. We just act on them.

I have been collecting examples of self-defeating beliefs like squirrels collect nuts for the winter for a long time. Here are some real beliefs about money from real people in real workshops and classes.

These beliefs cut off the inflow of money into countless lives or slowed it to a trickle. Some of them are familiar and some are so unique that they seem strange. Sometimes the same belief can be life-expanding for one person and life-extinguishing for another.

Read through this list and see if you identify with any of the beliefs.

1. Money is the root of all evil. (The actual quote is "The love of money is the root of all evil.")
2. If I am successful people will hate me.
3. If I make a million dollars, I might lose it and then I would feel stupid and hate myself forever.
4. There is not enough money to go around.

6. If I have a lot more than I need to get by, lots of people will have to go without.

If you identify with any of these beliefs, go though them one by one and answer these three questions about each belief.

• Why do I believe that?
• Is it true?
• What might I be concerned would happen if I did not believe that?

By asking those three probing questions of any belief, you can dis-charge it --- and become free to go for your desires.

You'll also be free to give --- as well as to receive.

Go ahead and work through those beliefs right now.
