How To Take Action

I would suggest implementing a few simple yet powerful strategies to transform your relationship with money and enhance your financial awareness.

Start Your Day with Financial Awareness

Before diving into social media each morning, make it a habit to check your bank account. This small step prioritizes your financial health and sets the tone for your day. It’s a straightforward, low-cost habit that yields high-value results.

Confront Financial Anxiety

If checking your bank account stirs up anxiety, that’s even more reason to do it consistently. The discomfort you feel is a signal that you need to increase your financial awareness. By facing this head-on, you can start to demystify your finances and diminish that anxiety over time.

Track Your Money

Initially, I didn't know where my money was going, which created a lot of stress. I recommend tracking your expenses to see exactly where your money is being spent. This can be as simple as jotting down expenses in a notebook or using a free app.

Make Financial Check-Ins a Habit

Turn this into a daily habit. The more you practice, the easier it will become. As you get into the routine of monitoring your finances, you’ll start to see patterns and areas where you can cut back or save more.

Observe the Change

You’ll start to notice that by paying attention to your money, it begins to “pay attention” to you. You’ll likely see an improvement in your financial situation as your habits evolve. Consistency in this practice can lead to significant financial growth and stability.

These steps are simple, barely take any time, and cost nothing. Yet, they can profoundly impact your financial health and create a foundation for better financial management.
