Book excerpt: Did you know that your money story can affect your life today? Do you feel overwhelmed and stressed about your money situation? Or, maybe you wake up in the middle of the night worrying because you don't know how much money you need to cover your expenses. Do you avoid taking actions you know you need to take but, somehow things just seem to get in your way? Are you wondering why you keep sabotaging yourself? Well, you are not alone! I've seen this over and over again with clients, friends and family. And, it happens because the real cause behind these situations is hidden, and you're not even aware of it. So, how can you solve a problem that you're not even aware of? You can't! I know this all too well because it happened to me. Your money story is the narrative that you have about money, whether you're conscious of it or not. It's filled with characters, plots and storylines from the environments you grew up in, the experiences you've had, and the beliefs and habits you've created or adopted throughout your life. I created this journal to guide you through a step by step process to become aware of what's stopping you so you can end self sabotage, move beyond fear, overwhelm and frustration, take action towards your money goals and have financial peace.
