Why Your Money Mindset Is Blocking Your Bank Account
Let’s get straight to it: it’s not always about how much you make. Sometimes, it’s how you think about money that’s keeping your account from growing.
Sounds harsh? Maybe. But I had to face that truth myself.
There was a time I thought my income was the problem. “If I could just make more money,” I’d say. But every time I did, nothing really changed. My account stayed empty, my stress stayed high, and my goals stayed on pause. That’s when I realized…
My mindset was the block—not my paycheck.
What Is a Money Block?
A money block is a deep belief or emotional pattern that sabotages your financial progress—even when you’re working hard. These blocks often come from how we were raised, what we saw growing up, or what we’ve been taught to believe about wealth, success, and self-worth.
If you’ve ever said:
-
“I’m just not good with money.”
-
“People like me don’t get rich.”
-
“I don’t need a lot, just enough to get by.”
-
“I feel bad asking to be paid more.”
…you’ve got a money block. (And don’t worry—you’re not alone.)
How Your Mindset Is Silently Draining Your Account
1. You Avoid Looking at Your Finances
If checking your account gives you anxiety and you’d rather not “see the damage,” you’re not alone—but you’re also not in control. Avoidance = missed opportunities, late fees, overspending, and fear-based decisions.
2. You Don’t Believe You Deserve More
If you’ve been stuck in survival mode for years, you might feel uncomfortable when things start going right. So you spend it. You give it away. You sabotage the very peace you said you wanted—because deep down, it doesn’t feel “safe” to succeed.
3. You Associate Money with Guilt or Shame
Maybe growing up you heard “money changes people” or “rich people are greedy.” So now, every time you make progress, there’s guilt. Subconsciously, you push money away or downplay your wins.
It’s Time to Clear the Block
The first step to breaking money blocks is awareness. If you can name it, you can change it.
Ask yourself:
-
What did I hear about money growing up?
-
Do I feel worthy of wealth and ease?
-
What beliefs am I holding onto that might be outdated or not even mine?
Healing your relationship with money isn’t just about numbers—it’s about narratives. And you get to rewrite yours.
Shift Your Energy, Shift Your Income
Once I started shifting my beliefs, my behavior changed too:
-
I stopped impulse spending to feel better.
-
I started budgeting as an act of self-care, not punishment.
-
I raised my rates without shrinking.
-
I saved with purpose, not fear.
-
And slowly but surely… my account started reflecting the abundance I was finally ready to receive.
Final Thoughts
If your account feels stuck, don’t just look at your income—look at your inner conversation about money.
You don’t have to earn six figures to feel secure. But you do have to believe you deserve more than just “getting by.”
Because here’s the truth:
You can’t manifest overflow with a mindset built on lack.
And you can’t grow wealth if you keep treating money like the enemy.
Let this be your reminder: you are not broke—you’re blocked.
And that’s something you can work through, step by step.
