There can be times in your life when money and, in turn, your financial situation can be something you doubt. It can be challenging to see how it is possible to plan any financial decisions, such as buying a house or starting a project.
While your position may seem precarious, the first thing you can utilize is your sense of ‘living in the now’ and that everything you think about and plan is for the present, as worrying about past failures and future goals can give you more anxiety as time goes on.
You can also start by changing your mindset over your position, as hard as this seems, you may be able to gain some clarity, which will, in turn, help you to make better-informed decisions.
Read on to find thirty affirmations that you can start practicing today.
Why Should I Use Affirmations For My Finances?
The idea of self-affirming by maintaining your sense of self-integrity can benefit you by improving your self-efficacy, which is the ability to control moral outcomes and respond adequately if this is ever threatened.

How To Make Affirmations Work For You
The most significant part of improving your situation is having a clear and positive mindset, as there can be areas of your life that you may view negatively. So you may use your finances as a means of distraction.
While you can get some comfort from spending your money, it may not always be in your best interest. This is why, alongside these affirmations, you may want to consider changing some of your spending habits and behaviors.
Below is some advice that you can adopt to begin changing your financial situation.
Only Buy What You Need
You might feel the need to make a purchase that may seem great at the time but may have been made as a form of therapy for those instances where you feel stressed, bored, sad, or sense of powerlessness.
This can be a complex cycle to break, so the first step is to identify why you think you are making these purchases and seek a therapist who will be able to help you set boundaries, notice any triggers, and how to manage through times that may make you want to spend money.
Considering that money can be tied to many types of issues, it is essential to remember that you shouldn’t be hard on yourself, as whatever mistakes you have made up to this point can’t be changed, but you can take steps to improve your situation in the now.
Put Limits On Your Spending
There are many ways that you can spend your money, and with online shopping being ever so popular, you may find it difficult to break away from this, as this can be comparable to addictive activity and should be treated in a similar way.
One thing you can do is to start budgeting and assign amounts to only what you need at first, and then add in some for things such as meals out with family and friends or pursuing a hobby that you enjoy or want to renew, just as long as it doesn’t become too expensive.
While putting limits on everything can help you in smaller ways, this limiting of what you can do can have an adverse effect on your well-being, as you may need some kind of outlet to avoid those circumstances where you become bored and spend money to fill the time.
Think About Your Financial Goals Differently
See your goals as less of a hindrance and more of an opportunity to spend your money on something that will vastly improve your well-being and financial situation in the future.
Think about any short-term goals that you think may be achievable in the next few months or years instead of thinking about overly ambitious goals that may require you to be in a better financial position.
This area of your spending might be something you dread, and it may mean you might have to have some difficult conversations with a partner, but you will find your situation feels more manageable with support from loved ones.
It can allow you to share the burden and means you have a bit more headspace to consider some of those long-term goals, but start slow and be realistic with your time and energy.
Make Your Affirmations Relevant To You
While making these steps, you should aim to have a few affirmations to help you in matters where you may really need the confidence or the motivation to make a change, and while these affirmations can be helpful, making personalized ones can be even more effective.
If you’re not sure how you can do this, you can start by looking at your affirmations, and if they sound too vague, you should replace or rewrite them, so you know exactly how to think and behave after reading them.
It can help if you consider that your affirmations should encourage you to look deep inside yourself and reflect on the mantra in much more detail, and here is where you can envision a better future or outcome for yourself.
Be Realistic With Your Affirmations
Alongside using your mantras, you can reflect on your position by adopting a diary, where you could write down your accomplishments or little wins you have had recently.
If you are struggling, you can look back through these to develop more concise feelings towards them.
There is also the opportunity to refine your mantras in case you may reach a goal, or you think a specific affirmation doesn’t give you a strong emotion or attitude towards it, as this could take some time and patience.
By learning more about you and your finances, you can write affirmations that are realistic to your circumstances and are direct to what aspect of your financial life you wish to improve.
Later on, you can create other ones to target specific areas you want to explore.
Final Thoughts
While using affirmations can have a range of benefits to your physical and mental health, they can also help you better understand yourself and why you are the way you are, as some people will search for a lifetime to access this knowledge.
Of course, if you are in dire circumstances where you feel you aren’t in control, such as losing possession of your home or other assets, it can be a good idea to take a step back, clear any anxious or negative thoughts, and work on ways to rebuild your position again.
This can take a while, and while getting financial assistance or advice might seem something you want to avoid, there are times in your life when financial education can help you to make better-informed decisions for the now and the future.
