Use the money to make you happier

Recall your happiest and unhappiest experiences.
Write them down separately as two different lists. They may or may not have had much to do with money.

Identify the themes.
Are there themes that run through your lists of happiest and unhappiest experiences? For example, are you happiest whenever you spend quality time with your family? Or unhappiest when you spend long hours at work? Identify and write them down.

Think about how money could help.
If there’s a theme to your happiness, think about how money might allow you to make choices that would support more of that kind of experience. Write these choices down. If there’s a theme to your unhappiness, think about how money could allow you to make choices that would lessen the impact of that kind of experience on your life. Write these choices down as well.

Make affirmations.
Take the list of choices from step 3 and use them to make affirmation and intention statements written in the present tense. For example, if you feel that money would allow you to spend more time with your family and make you happier, your statement could be: I have financial security and freedom, and I choose to spend more time with my family, doing things we love to do together.
