How to Turn Your Finances Around in 2022

Julie Murphy • December 20, 2021

Do you want to know how to turn your finances around in 2022? 

Transformation on any level is a process. 

One that requires a clear vision and a good deal of passion. 

But I’m here to tell you it can be done! There is very little that we can’t do if we put our minds, hearts, and thoughts into it. 

So, as you step into the next 12 months, consider the following ways you can turn your finances around and live a life of abundance! 


How to Turn Your Finances Around

Smart & Simple Ways to Get the Financial Success You Want


Envision the Financial Future You Want

Our thoughts lead to financial decision-making that creates our financial life. 

If you’re going into 2022 and dreading it, there’s a good chance you’ll experience more of the same in the new year. Put a stop to that negative thought process right now. 

Explore new ways of thinking. Could you potentially earn more in 2022? Is it possible you could find new side hustles to add extra income or pay off debt? Do you have creative pursuits you’ve never chased but are ready to this year? 

Don’t allow your inner critic to talk you out of thinking positively, either. I know it’s something we all struggle with—the battle between logic and creativity. 

But here is the truth, there is no harm in thinking happier thoughts, but there is harm in continuing to be negative. 

Picture the best version for your life financially then go after it. 


Create A Financial Plan

Of course, nothing in the material world can come to fruition without a plan. That’s why your next step is to create a financial plan for the next 12 months. 

Start by either creating a budget or accessing your current one. 

This would include identifying your monthly income, listing your expenses, and examining your expenditures. 

If you can, track your money over at least 3 months to get a clear picture of your finances and where your money is going. 

Once you have that information, you can start to improve your financial decision-making. That can include paying yourself first, saving for an emergency fund, or deciding which investments you can afford in the coming year. 

All of this data can be used to create a financial plan that works and gets you one step closer to your financial vision. 


Write Down Your Financial Goals

Now that you have your vision and your budget information, the next step is to write down your financial goals. 

Your goals can be anything from earning more to finally getting the 6-month emergency fund together. 

Whatever your goal is, no matter how big or small, write it down. 

Why? 

It’s part science and part alchemy. When we write things down it changes the way our brains remember our goals. Esoterically speaking, when we write a goal down, we are performing a ritual of sorts, that tells the universe what we want. 


Educate Yourself

Sometimes what we need the most is education. 

Financial education is one of the best ways to learn how to turn your finances around in 2022. That education can come in multiple forms, including YouTube videos!

I’ve shared hundreds of financial tips and tricks on my YouTube channel that I would highly encourage you to check out. 

Even if you only watch one or two of my videos, I’m confident that you’ll learn something new and get some inspiration for your future. 


Invest In Your Health

You’ve probably heard the saying before, “health is wealth”. There is so much truth in that statement. 

If you don’t take care of your body and mind, you can’t take care of your finances. That’s why I highly recommend investing in your health as you move into the new year. 

Maybe your diet doesn’t consist of enough vegetables right now, make it a point to add one veggie to each meal you eat. Toss some spinach into your eggs in the morning or add a green smoothie to your lunch meal plan. 

You can also get more active by taking the stairs instead of the elevator or parking further away in the parking lot than you normally do. 

Small, consistent, steps can transform your health more quickly than you’d expect. And when your body feels good, your financial goals can become more clear and easier to execute. 


Get Balanced

Balance is one of the most important laws in the esoteric world. But it’s also important in the material world we live in. 

If you’re overspending consistently or just don’t have the right priorities together then you aren’t living in a balanced state. 

Take your time in 2022 to focus on balance instead of rules and see how that benefits your finances. When we make decisions from our hearts instead of from our logical minds, we make decisions more clearly. 

Focus on balance and watch your finances grow in the new year. 


Go After Your Dream Job

When you love what you do for a living it’s not work! In 2022, why not take a leap of faith and think about applying for your dream job?

You’d be surprised by how quickly you out-earn previous positions that you didn’t enjoy and found to be a strain on your soul. 

Happy people are wealthy people. So leap. Go after what you really want instead of holding back over the fear of your finances. The time is now!

Reset Your Money Energy for 2026 Every December, we all feel that pull, the desire to “be better with money next year.” But here’s the secret I’ve seen again and again after nearly three decades of walking alongside people from all walks of life: Financially wealthy people don’t just plan their next year — they energetically complete the one they’re leaving. They close loops. They clear emotional residue. They realign their energy field before they set a single goal. And you can absolutely do the same. As I share in The Emotion Behind Money , wealth is never created by logic alone. It comes from managing the emotions behind your money and understanding that money itself is energy. And in Awaken Your Wealth , I remind readers that energetic shifts begin when you consciously picture yourself stepping into a new reality, while compassionately acknowledging the one you’re standing in now. So let’s walk through the simple year-end process I teach my clients — one that spiritually, emotionally, and financially resets your money field for a powerful 2026. 1. Review Your 2025 Wins & Losses With Compassion Before you step into the new year, look back with the most loving, nonjudgmental eyes possible. I call it neutral observation . Wealthy people don’t spiral into shame when something didn’t go perfectly. They get curious. Ask yourself: Where did I expand financially this year? Where did I contract emotionally or economically? What choices were truly aligned with my values? Which ones came from fear, scarcity, or old patterns? In Awaken Your Wealth , the “Accepting Reality and Awakening” step of PACT teaches that awareness without judgment is how we break old money patterns for good. So breathe. Notice. Write it down. No shame. No spiral. Just truth. 2. Forgive Any Money Mistakes Here’s a truth most people never consider: Every financial mistake carries emotional weight and emotional weight blocks money flow. From my work in The 4 Spiritual Laws of Money , we know that your heart’s energy is more powerful than your brain’s logic, and intention is what redirects energy back into alignment. Forgiveness, of yourself, your past self, or others involved, releases stagnant money energy. Try this: Write down any money decisions from 2025 that still feel heavy. Place your hand on your heart. Say: "I forgive the version of me who made this choice. She/he did the best they could with what they knew at the time.” Forgiveness isn’t about letting mistakes slide. It’s about resetting your emotional money field so you can co-create something new. 3. Create an Energetic Closing Ceremony for the Year This is where wealthy people truly separate themselves; they honor the transition. You can create your own year-end ceremony using whatever resonates from your spiritual toolkit. Here are a few ideas inspired by the intention-setting and clearing practices throughout my work: Light a candle Symbolize releasing the old year and calling in the new. Write a “completion list” Include everything you’re ready to release: debts you’re no longer carrying shame over, relationships you’re energetically cutting cords from, patterns you’re finished reenacting. Burn or bury the list This physical act tells the Universe: “I’m done living from this version of myself.” In The Emotion Behind Money , we explore how inherited beliefs and emotional patterns repeat until they are consciously released. This ceremony is your line in the sand. End with intention Close with one powerful intention for 2026, aligned from your heart: “I choose a new flow of abundance.” “I trust that money comes to me with ease.” “I allow myself to receive the wealth I’ve been working toward.” As The 4 Spiritual Laws of Money reminds us: “The Universe responds to action.” Your ceremony is your spiritual action. Ready to Step Into 2026 Aligned, Clear & Empowered? If you’re craving deeper support with your financial reset, join me for my Emotions Behind Money Workshop in January. If you’ve been feeling the nudge to recalibrate your relationship with money, this is your moment. Let’s make 2026 the year your inner wealth and your financial reality finally match. You deserve abundance and you’re closer than you think. With love, alignment & a whole lot of possibility, Julie ✨
