Your Money…Your Environment

by Shelly

credit-cards.jpgThe key to balance is conscious awareness about your financial destiny and yoga is a great way to gain an environmental awareness of your finances. Take these steps to reenter yourself naturally.

• Seek out the truth: Do you know the truth about your financial situation and how much you owe compared to how much you earn, and spend. Many people don’t know the truth. It’s easier to avoid looking than to find out. Tell the truth to yourself as well as to others. It can be challenging, but yoga asks us to face the truth in all areas of life, including your spending habits. The site You Can Deal With It has tools for figuring out what you spend and how best to reduce your debt completely. To find out how much you owe to credit-card companies and other companies visit Annual Credit Report and find out the truth.

• Contemplate: Do you unconsciously tell yourself that you struggle financially, or that you live in abundance? Examine this question thoroughly as it relates to ways to understand you motivations. Unearth what you tell yourself, and you will see a blue print of your current financial life. How is your relationship to your parents and to money serving you? Do you feel you will lose something valuable, like security by changing the way you deal with money? Write down the truths you uncover. Then, brainstorm practical ways to get a handle on your spending and even your large amounts of debt you currently owe.

• Ask for help when you need it: Money is challenging for everyone, especially if you have not been taught the basics. Talk with a professional money advisor who has no products to sell. Consumer Credit Counseling Service offers free assistance. And find fee-only financial planners at The National Association of Personal Financial Advisors.
