From-SaveMoneyGuides.com-Basically, there are two reasons people have problems with money: 1) they don’t know what to do with it, and 2) emotional issues and attitudes interfere with earning and how money is used.

The percentage of people who don’t know what to do with money is actually quite small. If you have an abundance of money and don’t know what to do to keep it, there are specialists you can hire, books you can read, and ways of educating yourself. However, most people have difficulty because of their limiting attitudes and emotions about attracting money.

Here are 3 simple tips to help you overcome your limitations about money:

1. Focus on what you want.

In order to attract abundance in our lives, we must first focus on what we want to have happen. If we don’t pay attention to money, or our resources, they are likely to slip away.

When we are worried about money, we are focusing on what we are afraid is going to happen. When we focus on scarcity, we attract it, both in actuality, and in our perceptions of how much we have.

If you are thinking about not having enough, for example, you will always be aware of those who have more than you do, and even if you have money, you’ll believe that others have more.

2. Watch your language.

How we talk about money impacts what we attract. Our ever-helpful brain creates what we say. If you say “All I want to do is make enough money to get by,” what do you think happens? Our brain is eager to provide us with what we say we want.

It is also important to say what we want rather than what we don’t want. The brain can’t really process negatives in language. When you say “I don’t want to be broke,” your brain hears “I want to be broke–don’t.” You must then create the negative outcome in order to undo it.

3. Identify and challenge attitudes that block your relationship with money.

Many times our attitudes and beliefs about money came from our family or our culture. For example, “People won’t like me if I’m rich” is a common belief that will limit the amount of financial success you achieve.

Once you identify your beliefs and attitudes, and understand where it comes from, decide whether or not YOU really believe it.

Beliefs are often formed by others and fit the circumstances that were true for them. For example, people who lived through the Great Depression often have beliefs about money they’ve handed down to their children and grandchildren. They may have nothing at all to do with YOUR current situation.

By the way, believing anything less than that you totally deserve financial success is a limiting belief. Where did it come from? Challenge this belief.

When you figure out the specific ways you are limiting yourself about money, you can take steps to move beyond those obstacles to have the financial success you deserve. When you get out of your own way, it becomes much easier.
