I’m not a huge fan of long-winded processes.
Like digging deep into your past to uncover some locked away memory that’s been the sole thing holding you back from becoming an author, moving to Buenos Aires and meeting your Argentinian soul mate.
I think it’s healthy to know where a limiting belief came from if you haven’t done any work whatsoever on figuring out where they originated. But most people think you need to dig deep into your past and re-live the events every single time you work on your money mindset.
This is not true and probably one of the reasons your money situation is a little shit right now. 😅😭
When you keep drudging up the past, you keep those feelings active in your vibration, which then turns into a loop of low-vibe negativity and so nothing changes.
The point of clearing money blocks is to stop keeping those low-vibe thoughts and feelings active and clear the field to introduce new positive and abundant thoughts and feelings and record over those old limiting beliefs.
So for this post I’m going to share with you ten ways you can start clearing your money blocks today.
1. Declutter Everything
When manifesting money, (and anything in your life really), you need to make room for it. Simple. And you do this by decluttering everything physically and mentally that no longer serves you. I did this when I ended my 7 year relationship, bought a one-way ticket to Bali and started traveling as a Digital Nomad full-time. Before I left, I sold everything I owned and lived out of a suitcase for 3 years. That was all I had, and yet I manifested some of the most INCREDIBLE things because of this including soooo much more money. I talk all about this in-depth in my interview on the ‘And The Net Appeared‘ podcast.
Start by doing the obvious, have a huge clearing of your wardrobe, your cupboards, your car, wallet, bedroom, kitchen, lounge, the files on your computer, the drafts in your ‘posts’ folder on your website. Get rid of anything that no longer serves you at this new level you’re wanting to move into. Cleanse your house and gardens. Cull everything. This clears your mind of things that have been sitting way in the back.
When you want to declutter mentally, it’s time to look at leaving old memberships to sites or hobbies, groups that no longer interest you, services you no longer use, old friendships that don’t seem to work any more, the ex you keep stalking, the programs you offer that no longer match the new level you’re heading to and clients that aren’t quite the right fit.
2. Let Your Grudges Go
Forgiveness is so underestimated. Most people don’t want to forgive others, especially if that person has wronged them in some way. When you learn to move past that and realize that all forgiveness really is, is a way to set yourself free from what or who was holding you back, you win.
How you clear your money blocks by using forgiveness is by doing this: write a huge list of every limiting money belief you’ve ever had, think from birth to present day and any extras in-between. Try to do this uninterrupted. Then when you feel you’ve gotten everything out, big, small, insignificant, humiliating and so on. Read through each line out loud, feeling the feelings and then say “I forgive, I love you, I’m sorry, thank you.” By the end of the list you’ll feel like a weight has lifted off your shoulders.
3. Tap Like Your Like Depends On It
So, there’s this thing called Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT for short) and I’ll admit, I find it kind of weird (yes still) BUT, it does work! I haven’t done it in a few years because.. well.. I’m rich now. 😂
What I really mean is that I’m calm about money, it’s not a “thing” anymore. However when I did do EFT in the early days (when I was trying everything to break through my blocks and change my relationship with money), for those brief moments, it helped me calm tf down about money or anything I was freaking out about.
I’ll never forget the day my car ran out of gas on my way to work and I had to walk 2km to the gas station to get petrol. I was having a full on anxiety attack about being late for work, getting in trouble with my boss and losing money so while I was walking I tapped the whole way there. I looked like an idiot to people passing by but it seriously helped me move through the anxiety and calm wayyyy down.
Use this tapping tutorial by Gala Darling. There are some of you who will love it, and if you do, use it every single time your blocks come up. It’s a quick and easy way to break through.
4. Thank Your Lucky Stars
Another underestimated tool is giving thanks for everything in your life that you currently have, what you’ve received in the past and will receive in the future. Gratitude is the highest frequency for attraction. You literally become a magnet when you’re in true gratitude.
I know people can find it hard to get into this practice, but just like any other practice it takes time to make it a habit. To make it easy, I always start with the people in my life that I’m most grateful for and what about them I love and that’s enough to get the momentum going and from there I’ll go into what I’m grateful for in the past, present and future. It’s the best (and easiest) way to ensure success.
5. Self-Care on Steroids
The more you take care of yourself, the more that being taken care of reflects back to you. The secret is not to try and find someone else who will do it for you, but instead give yourself all the love, nurturing, patience and pampering you require as you move through life. The deeper you can give to yourself, the deeper you can receive love, nurturing, patience, pampering and being taken care of by money, people, life and the universe.
So sit with the sadness, the fear or the scarcity and hold space for yourself while you’re struggling, don’t dismiss it. Journal out how you’re feeling, all the crazy, all the joy, all the uncertainty and release it. Book the massage, blow out or facial and let yourself actually relax into it. Talk sweetly to yourself (I do this with my plants and they’re growing so fast and healthy!) and hug yourself as much as you can. Take care of yourself like you’re your own daughter. There’s only one you.

6. Get Intimate with Your Money
What you think about, you bring about or what you focus on, grows. So instead of letting yourself be on auto-pilot or worse, not paying deliberate attention to your money at all, make it your goal of getting more intimate with money. A great (and easy) way to start is just by checking your bank account every day, observe what comes up when you do (this will show you areas you need to heal and clear).
Pay attention to the following:
- Where your balance tends to sit
- Where the money goes
- How you feel about it and
- Make a note of your income
Start a basic excel spreadsheet and track your money. Don’t worry about expenses just yet. Focus on the money coming in, appreciate each cent that’s in there and the ones coming in, whether it’s money from your business, job or something else. It’s safe
7. Write Your Goals into Reality
Did you know you’re 42 percent likely to achieve your goals if you write them down on a regular basis? This due to a process called encoding that happens in your brain when you consistently write your goals and desires down. I love doing this in a scripting format, but it doesn’t have to be as extensive as that. Writing your goal in statement form is more than enough.
Let’s say your goal is either to make $15k in income this month, book one new client this week or sell 5 ebooks today. You want to create a power statement that’s simple enough to remember and easy enough to write down.
For example:
- “$15k month”
- “One new client”
- “5 ebooks today”
Why? Because it gets you to focus, it reaffirms to you what you want and it energetically sets you up for the day to achieve what you’ve set out to do. Like I said earlier, what you focus on grows (and most focus on lack by default).
8. Do the Journal Work
Seriously, I’ve found the journal work to be incredibly healing. It’s where you can release all the thoughts and feelings (and chaos) going on within. You literally take all of the stuff inside your mind and release it onto paper. It’s a physical release.
There’s many different ways to do journal work, I always recommend to use it to disprove lies you tell yourself about money and your worthiness of it and write over them with new empowering thoughts and feelings you want to plant. In Module 2 of Money Mindset School we go super deep into healing your relationship with money but to get started, ask yourself what’s going on for you right now inside? What are you afraid of? Why is this a lie? What is the new way you want to start looking at this fear? And watch what comes out.
9. Visualize Your Money Goal
Remember when you were a child, and you’d play make-believe alllll the time? Well visualizing is like the adults version of make-believe, but the coolest thing about being an adult and visualizing is that we can literally visualize it into reality.
Think about the financial goal you want to achieve right now and imagine that the money is in your hand or you’re logging onto your bank account and seeing the amount when you log in. Imagine like it’s already here, how does it feel? Pay attention to that feeling because that’s what will help you manifest it and in turn help you weaken your money blocks.

10. Zen Out on Meditation
I’ve had an on/off relationship with meditation but I finally found a way that it works for me (through Yin Yoga). I do them in the morning or evening. My favourite abundance and money guided meditations are by Gabrielle Bernstein.
I prefer guided because as you know, I like to use my imagination, I can’t concentrate if I try to do it in silence! I also have a free guided meditation I created myself on my Happy Wealth podcast episode The Art of Receiving. Feel free to use that also!
Sometimes you might not clear the block fully on the first round. That’s okay. You will get it. As Robert Collier said, “Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in and day out.”
