About Positive Money
Positive Money is a philosophy for living
in relationship with money that feels positive
and leads to favorable results.
Money is stressful for many of us no matter what’s in our bank accounts. We don’t have enough to meet basic needs like housing and food. Costs for health and child care continue to climb and economic disparity abounds. Emotionally, we feel ashamed of how much we make or don’t make, anxious in money conversations, or worried about our financial security.
Given that money doesn’t have a say in how it’s used, the buck stops with you and me. We make decisions every day that drive how we show up for money and ultimately for ourselves and others. This can feel negative or positive depending on what you bring to the table and choose to focus on.
The first principle of Positive Money
is that it's a choice.
Positive Money is a philosophy for living in relationship with money.
Positive Money will change how you think, act, and feel about money so you experience:
• Greater ease and flow in your financial life.
• More confidence in responding to money challenges.
• Empowerment and ownership in your relationship with money.
• Self-acceptance.
• Connection to what matters most.
Positive Money makes it possible to live a rich life when you’re tuned into what feels enriching. It separates the numbers from what you make them mean. It gives you a point of reference for how you want to be in your relationship with money and offers practices for sorting that out. If all goes well, you'll clarify what matters most and establish a reliable system to guide your daily money decisions.
The third principle of Positive Money
is that it serves a higher good.
