We’ve all done it at some point in our lives. Holding on too tight to a relationship, holding on to a job, holding on to our point of view, holding onto our money.
And every time it leads to loss.
Why do we do it?
Fear.
Fear of being on our own.
Fear of not being who we thought we were at work or fear of not being able to be employed again.
Fear of being seen as wrong when we prefer to be right.
Fear that no more money will come.
These fears are unfounded.
So what if you’re on your own for a while? You get to find out more about yourself and what and who you really want.
So what if you have to leave that job? There will be a better opportunity on its way that will probably pay better and lead you to better things.
So what if you’re not right? Wouldn’t you rather be happy than right?
So what if you have to pay out some money? You have the ability to earn more, and there are support services that can help if you need them.
I know that last one is quite challenging for many at the moment, with the cost of living going up the way that it is.
Money is an exchange service. If we all hold onto our money then everything will stop, the economy will go nuts and make things a whole lot worse. Money is a flow of energy in and out, always has been and always will be.
I know that instinctively we all want to hold on tight at the moment, because of the pressures and what is happening. Instead of holding on tight why not use techniques to help you cope with the pressure and stress?

P.S. When I was young, my Dad took my hand one day and poured some sand onto it. I immediately curled my fingers over it to try and keep it all in, but it started spilling out at the sides and I was left with less. He said ‘that’s what happens when you try and hold on too tight to anything or anyone’. It was a great life lesson.
I look forward to seeing you next week!
