Regularly checking in with your money feelings can prevent financial stagnation–that feeling that you just can’t seem to move through your current financial position into a new one.

No matter how much emotional clearing you have done, there’s always another layer of emotions lying in wait, ready to hold you back. That’s because emotions are the bridge between our internal and external worlds. As you move towards a new financial position, the habitual emotions that have defined your current position have to be replaced by new emotional reponses that are in tune with where you want to be.

So, when you check in with yourself today, what are you feeling about your money? Are you feeling frustrated, limited, trapped, deprived, or angry? Or perhaps you feel satisfied with what you have, comfortable with what you are earning, or hopeful about your financial future.

What you are feeling has a direct affect on what you will bring into your life, and that incudes your cash flow.

Do this:

• Close you eyes and take a deep breath in and out. Think about something financial that you have been dealing with.
• As you do this, put your attention in your heart, then your solar plexus. Notice if you are feeling any discomfort.
• If there is any discomfort, ask yourself, "What am I feeling and is this something I have felt before?"
• Now ask yourself, "What are my options?" What could you be feeling instead? How can you feel more hopeful about where you are going financially?
• Take a deep breath and imagine the situation that would allow the alternate feelings to flow through you and let yourself feel those feelings.

Each time you have to deal wih your finances, go through this exercise, reperceiving discomfort and learning a new set of money feelings.
