Finances are stressful … When we are paying bills late. When we are not reducing our debt the way we want. When we hardly ever log into our banking online to see what is going on there. Yikes! Finances! How about something a little different. What if we used mindfulness to take control over our finances instead of relying on sheer willpower or “whenever-we-feel-like-it”. Intentional, finance doesn’t have to be as hard as it may feel and in this episode our guest Chioma, dives into the how, what, when and why to use mindfulness for our finance -so we can know our numbers -so we can have a vision and purpose to where we are spending our money -so we can save up, pay off debt --- all without the frugal advice of “cutting the coffee” … Chioma say’s “keep the coffee!” Listen in to hear why!

Lazy. Stupid. A Loser. How many times have you used those words to describe yourself? Why are we SO dang mean to ourselves. We speak to ourselves in a way that we would never speak to our friends or our kids. And it's got to stop. The names and words you use to describe yourself are hurtful. They make long lasting dent into your confidence and soon you believe them. These voices may have come from when you were a kid, society or something you've told yourself forever. How about today - we cut it out. Replace that negative word with a positive descriptor filled with truth. I am powerful. I am doing my best. I am incredible. I am a hard worker. I may not be where I want to be but I know I can get there. I deserve joy. Take that negative words - the one that you allow to define you and rip it up today. Say goodbye - you deserve it! I'd love to know what positive statement you're going to use to replace it today so drop that in the comments!
