Change Your Mind, Change Your Life
If you are serious about getting yourself out of debt, you need to take a serious look at your mindset. How you think will determine what you do. If you believe that your family has always been in debt and will always be in debt . . . well . . . you have pretty much sealed your own fate. Your actions will follow what you think.
For example, let’s say you are an earth lover and think that SUV’s are evil. They guzzle gas and polute the atmosphere. Well, if that’s what you believe (i.e. think) then I highly doubt you are going to go buy an SUV tomorrow. That action would go against what you think.
It’s the same with debt. If you think that you can’t get out of debt, then your actions won’t do things to get you out of debt. It’s really that simple.
To change your mindset, I suggest that you start by spend time picturing life without debt. Allow yourself to feel the relief of knowing you can pay your bills each month with plenty left over. Once you can get a picture of what life would look like without debt, you can now see where you are going. You want to head towards that picture. Now, you need to start making decisions that will bring that picture to life! (We’ll cover that in another post.)
One more thing . . . You know that feeling of relief, freedom, and satisfaction that you felt when picturing life outside of debt? Those are also good motivators to help you fight the battle of overcoming financial difficulties. You get to choose whether you want to stay under the burden and pressure of debt and financial obligations or if you want to live in freedom. The control is in your hands and only you can make it happen.
Thanks for letting me share my thoughts. Let me know what you think!
