Ah, money blocks and limiting beliefs. Don’t you just love them? They creep up on you like a toxic ex from the shadows of your past.
Or, they’re just always there. Like the neighbours cat who unashamedly uses your home like its personal holiday house, giving you the side eye any time you get in its space.
Whether you’ve tried to manifest more money and it didn’t come through, or it did but the next time you tried it didn’t happen, or every time you start to visualize and imagine having the life you want, doubt smacks you back down – THIS IS THE POST FOR YOU.
Let’s get into how to break through your money blocks.
What is a Money Block?
A money block is a limiting belief which is a state of mind about yourself that restricts you in some way. When it comes to money, this can be in the form of negative thoughts about your money or other peoples money, it can be in the form of believing things about money that aren’t totally true or it can be a mental block that prevents you from making more money.
More than likely you will have learned these limiting beliefs through your family members, peers or the media which means they’ve been with you for a significant amount of time. Every time you’ve come into contact with an experience or event that confirmed your early childhood beliefs (including your teenage years) you lock it in even more so that even when you experience something that shows you the opposite of that belief, your brain will not accept it. It might not even register it.
For example: Let’s say you grew up in a household where your parents were constantly stressed about money. The power was always shutting off, there were numerous bills in the mail, your parents would argue in their bedroom to try and hide their issues from you and every time you asked for a treat at the supermarket your Mother always told you there wasn’t enough money.
What kind of beliefs do you think you’re going to develop from years of exposure to this?
- “There’s never enough money.”
- “Money is scarce and hard to get.”
- “Money is more important than family.”
- “No money = no power.”
- “Bills and expenses are bad.”
- “I’m not worthy of treats.”
- “I don’t get to have nice things.”
- “Money destroys family.”
You see and think these thoughts enough times and see evidence of it over and over and – BOOM!! – you’ve got yourself a solid belief that you will unconsciously live out, search for and look for evidence of.
Unless we actually figure out what these limiting beliefs are and shift them, they won’t change. This will be ongoing work for the rest of your life but it will get easier the more you do it. Eventually, you’ll get to a place where the limiting belief comes up and you’ll be able to observe it without any emotional reaction stirring up within you and you’ll let it pass by.

The Money Block Shifting Formula
This is a journal exercise that will show you the 3-step formula for shifting your money blocks by acknowledging what the limiting belief is in detail, disproving the limiting belief and then creating a new empowering story you will tell about it from now on.
You’ll need to get out your journal and write these questions down:
- What is my limiting belief?
- Is that really true?
- Why? (Keeping asking why until you feel you get to the core of it. You’ll know when you do.)
- What new story am I going to tell now?
Now, let’s use that in an example where the limiting belief is around charging money for your products and services.
What is my limiting belief? I feel like I don’t deserve to be paid what I charge for my products and services because they are really easy to implement and they were easy to create and I feel like they should be cheap affordable for my customers. Money can’t be this easy to make, it feels like cheating, like I’m conning people when it’s really that easy.
Is that true? Well, no. Why? Because even though it’s easy for me it isn’t easy for everyone else. Because I spent and have spent 10+ years learning, studying, experimenting, testing and investing in training, programs and courses to be able to learn how to do what I do. Not only that, and far more importantly, because I understand business. I have a business mind. I am able to see things that others don’t and can’t. I have skills and expertise in areas that are not easy for everyone. I can see the path clearly for any business owner. I know exactly what they need to do in their industry to make money both systemically and energetically. That is fucking rare. And I have still yet to come across another business owner who can do that. And that’s why I get to be paid greatly for my programs and services because what I do is of high service and I’m worthy of what I desire not just because I desire it but because I always give more than I ask for. I give away thousands of dollars worth of content for free. I show up, I do my part, I’m kind, I care, I’m trustworthy and I know my shit.
What’s the new story I’m going to tell about this now? I serve, I motherf*cking deserve! Just because it’s easy for me doesn’t mean it is for others, I still spent years developing my skills to be THIS GOOD and to make it THIS EASY and that’s why I get to be paid MORE MONEY. Because I am giving fast results and they wouldn’t have gotten that on their own. It is a fair exchange, It’s an equal transaction, I 100% deserve this.
Every single time a new limiting money belief comes up, this is the process you go through until the shift happens and you feel better. You go through it until you don’t feel sad, lack, scarcity or failure anymore and instead feel excited, happy, calm, relaxed or even neutral. That’s when the shift has happened on the belief.
This entire process is what I teach in Money Mindset School in so much depth. If you’d like help completely releasing all your limiting money beliefs and create new beliefs that help your income, bank balance and abundance increase, come and learn about it here.
