It’s Time to Get Right with Money

By Elizabeth Cottrell

Anyone who is serious about understanding themselves had better get a handle on their relationship with money. This free e-course can show you how…just in time for your holiday spending.

It's time to get right with money

Our attitudes about money are usually formed quite early in our lives, and far too often, we operate on those initial ingrained thoughts and assumptions without ever challenging them or deciding, in a thoughtful way, that we want to embrace them for ourselves.

The holiday season can be a time of heightened financial stress, especially if you know you’re spending more than you should, leaving you facing credit card bills in January that evoke a combination of fear and dread. This is not necessary, but to get on top of it, you have to get up close and personal with your own money attitudes!

Dr. Cynthia Briggs has written a very good—and very brave—free, four-part e-course called “Let’s Get Right With Money,” based on the book The Soul of Money: Transforming Your Relationship With Money and Life by Lynne Twist. I say it’s good because the lessons make you think about things you often don’t—or won’t—think about, but should. It’s brave because she is very honest about her own struggles with money and the misguided attitudes she has tried to change.

By calling out three common Money Myths, she’s pointing out the gorilla in the room and making us all admit we see him too.

If you think this might be an area you need to work on to understand yourself and your money motives better, Cyndi has graciously given me permission to republish these four e-course lessonshere at Heartspoken.com:

  • Part 1: Let’s Talk About Money Introduction
  • Part 2: Myth #1 – There’s not enough
  • Part 3: Myth #2 – More is better
  • Part 4: Myth #3 – That’s just the way it is

I’d love to hear your own insights on your relationship with money—how it is now and how it might have changed as you’ve matured—in the comments below. Or join the conversation at the Heartspoken Facebook page.

    Thanks for commenting, Karen. There’s a lot of wisdom in what you say, and your voice of experience gives it even more credence.

    I should have pointed out in my info that Cyndi is from my grown daughter’s generation. She may not have had time to experience as many of the financial cycles that some of us older gals have, but I think that can be even scarier when you’re young and in a place of feeling scarcity and not knowing there’s usually something on the “other side” of that feeling. I love that she’s helping her readers get a healthy attitude about money, wherever they are on the spectrum.

    I’ve been reading Cyndi’s blogs on getting right with money. It’s a hard thing to do – especially when you are struggling to pay the bills. I have been in that position and also flush (and when I was flush, I worried about what to do with all the money!). I figure as long as I have a roof over my head, food in the frig, a car that starts, I’m good. Add to that, love of a good family and doing what I love, then I’m rich!
