98 | 3 Steps to Stop Feeling Guilty about Spending Money on Yourself When Negative Thoughts are Standing in Your Way

Hi!
Have you said to yourself lately,  “I would really like to do ‘x’ “ but, your negative thoughts tells you not to?  Why do we feel guilty when we spend on ourselves?  Not all of us feel this way but for many of us, we’ve got that negative self-talk – a voice – a script that is on constant repeat - perhaps from your mother, grandmother, partner, etc, that tells us we shouldn’t spend on ourself.  
In today’s show, I’m sharing with you my latest adventure as a solo traveler to an overnight destination spa a few hours from where I live.  It sounds wonderful, doesn’t it?  It was.  But for me to get there, I had some negative self-talk that I had to overcome.
If you too struggle with spending on you, you’re in the right place.  We are worthy of spending money that we earn on things that really matter to us.  And I’ve got a positive affirmation you can use to help you reframe those thoughts and get you, finally taking action and doing the things you really want to do. 
Let’s do this, it’s time to choose happy!
Cheers,
Marie

Another day goes by, you’re lying in bed, and your mind starts thinking about everything you did and didn’t do – especially the didn’t do.  Why do those stick out?
