Getting Out Of Debt

Most of us have been in debt at some point in our lives for various reasons. We also have a tendency to connect our self worth to our finances, so when we are in debt, we are inclined to beat ourselves up and feel badly about ourselves. No amount of telling ourselves that we are not our finances seems to have any effect. We can intellectually know that but our emotions and our spirit is not convinced. We need to know that it takes both: the mechanics of how to get out of debt as well as breaking up the stories that keep us in debt. That's why coaching is so helpful. Coaching can support us in disengaging in the stories, break up the limiting thoughts, and redirect our thinking and emotions toward the goal, not the obstacles. As we do that, we can better use the tools we are learning to bring us out of debt.

Those tools are about using money in a new way. Thinking about our money like businesses and countries do, we begin to move money to where it makes the most interest, or creates the least. Part of what we are doing is paying attention to our money, not putting our head in the sand, or ignoring it and hoping the problems go away. As we do this, our focus creates expansion and allows our money to move freely. Lynne Twist in The Soul of Money speaks about how things shift when money begins to flow. In this case, we make sure that the money is flowing to where it is doing the most good and maximize the use of every dollar we make. As we get out of debt and move the money to the positive side of our balance sheet, we maximize its use over on that side and our excitement and enthusiasm for watching our money grows.
