Positive Self Talk Affirmations and How They Can Make You Money

Julie Murphy • November 29, 2021

Positive self-talk affirmations are one of my secret weapons in building wealth.


I talk a lot about dealing with what I call, “crabs in your bucket”.


These “crabs” are negative words, actions, and vibe-killing thought processes from other people that cause serious damage to our self-image, dreams, and big goals.


These energies get their claws into the deepest parts of your psyche, tearing you down jab by jab, reversing any progress you’ve made, and knocking you back down to where you don’t want to be.


The truth is, though, sometimes we are our own worst crabs. And I think this has a big part in how we speak to ourselves.


Our self-talk is truly the gateway to what our future could hold. I believe, and know, that we speak things into existence.


For example, if we tell ourselves that today will be a bad day, then we more than likely will experience a bad day.

If we say to ourselves that we can’t do something, then we’ll never attempt to do it.


So, how are you talking to yourself? About your job? About your finances?


If you’re speaking negatively to yourself and into the universe, you can expect negativity in return.


To cultivate lasting wealth—both inner and outer—we have to start talking positively to ourselves.

How do you do that?


I like to start with positive self-talk affirmations.


In today’s post, I want to talk about what affirmations are and how I’ve used them to attract money into

my life.


But first, let’s discuss what positive self-talk affirmations are.




What Are Positive Self-Talk Affirmations?


In psychology, self-talk is believed to be a combination of conscious and unconscious beliefs and biases that we hold onto. It can be either negative or positive and influences our behavior in many ways you may not even recognize.


One of the first steps you can take to change the way you talk to yourself is by building awareness around what you’re saying. This helps you start making the changes you need to take on your goals around money.


For example, if you constantly repeat negative affirmations to yourself about money, you might notice yourself saying things like, “I’m never going to have enough money to pay bills,” or “I can never seem to hold down a good job”.


When you notice that, you’re witnessing negative self-talk in real-time.


Another important thing to remember about negative thoughts is that our brains are designed to remember and hold onto the times we made a mistake or had a negative experience.


It’s common to keep replaying these negative experiences which in turn adds fuel to our negative self-talk.


On the flip side, positive self-talk helps us cultivate self-compassion for who we are and where we came from. It also helps us be more forgiven when we do make a mistake or experience a negative event.


Positive self-talk switches our narrative from “I can’t do anything right” to “next time I’ll do better”.

When we choose to learn from our mistakes, the way we talk to and about ourselves changes as well.



Positive Self-Talk Examples


Positive self-talk can take months to become habitual. I highly recommend putting these positive statements into work immediately.


Some of my favorite positive self-talk examples include…


  • "I forgive myself for any past mistakes”


  • "I’m a deserving human being”


  • "I love myself for who I am”


  • "I have permission to change my mind”


  • "I trust myself”


  • "I have the strength to make my dreams come true”


  • "I am proud of myself for even daring to try”

Anything you can think of that is a positive affirmation for making money is a great way to improve your roster of positive self-talk statements.


Flip the script and think positively about yourself by embracing the opposite of what your negative thoughts tell you.


Now that you have the basics of positive affirmations, let’s take a closer look at money-specific affirmations you can use to attract money by the wheelbarrow full.



My List of Positive Money Affirmations


I’ve spent most of my life learning how to use money as a tool to make my life and the lives of the people around me, better.


A big part of that process has been using positive money affirmations.


Just like positive self-talk affirmations, money affirmations help you focus on the positive aspects of your finances.

If you find yourself saying negative things about your finances, you’re preventing a steady stream of money from coming to you.


For example, maybe you find yourself saying something like…


  • I’ll always be broke


  • I won’t ever get out of the cycle of living paycheck-to-paycheck


  • Retirement is a pipe dream I’ll never experience


  • I won’t ever have enough to survive


  • Money is evil and it’s never been anything but a challenge


  • I don’t know how to manage my money



Each of these statements reaffirms a negative bias you have surrounding money.

So, let’s put an end to these negative statements.


And when you do, I promise you’ll notice an uptick in the money you have in your bank account. If you pair your affirmations with hard work there is no doubt in my mind that you’ll experience greater financial abundance.


Here are a few of my absolute favorite positive money affirmations:


  1. Abundance is heading in my direction, and I know it


   2.  I fully accept that prosperity is what I deserve


   3.  I deserve as much money as I desire


   4.  I will no longer stand in the way of my financial goals


   5.  Money comes to me in unexpected ways


   6.  I am fully open to any way of receiving wealth



Put Your Positive Self-Talk Affirmations Into Practice


Money is well within your reach.


You just have to believe it.


Try just 1 of the affirmations I shared with you above and say it every single day.


Over time, add another, and another until you’re constantly saying positive things about money.

As you do, your attitude surrounding money will change as will the number in your bank account.

What if nothing is wrong with your life? What if the frustration you feel... The anxiety around money... The constant striving... The feeling that something is missing... Isn't a sign that you're failing. What if it's simply your soul trying to wake you up? So many of us spend our lives searching for the next thing we believe will finally make us feel whole. More money. A different relationship. A better job. A healthier body. Another vacation. Another achievement. Another finish line. Yet somehow, after every accomplishment, that feeling quietly returns. "There has to be more than this." And there is. Not because your life is lacking. Because you've been taught to look for fulfillment in places it was never meant to come from. One of the greatest lessons I've learned is that life is always working for us, even when it doesn't feel like it. Every challenge... Every financial struggle... Every relationship... Every fear... Every success... They're all invitations. Not punishments. Invitations to become more aware. Because awareness changes everything. You can't transform a belief you don't know you're carrying. You can't heal a wound you refuse to acknowledge. You can't create a different future while living from yesterday's programming. This is why I don't believe true wealth begins with your bank account. It begins with your awareness. Money simply magnifies the relationship you already have with yourself. If you believe you're not enough... No amount of money will ever feel like enough. If you don't trust yourself... It won't matter how much financial security you create. You'll still feel uncertain. Real wealth isn't something we earn. It's something we uncover. It's been within us all along, buried beneath years of conditioning, fear, expectations, and stories that were never ours to begin with. When we begin clearing away those layers, something beautiful happens. We stop chasing. We start creating. We stop reacting. We begin choosing. We stop living from fear. We begin living from love. That's where abundance begins. Not outside of you. Inside of you. That's why I created the 21-Day Wake Up Wealth Challenge . Not to teach you how to make more money. Not to convince you that positive thinking changes everything. But to give you space. Space to slow down. Space to become aware. Space to notice the patterns you've been living from without even realizing it. Over the course of 21 days, you'll begin seeing yourself differently. You'll explore the beliefs shaping your financial life. You'll reconnect with your intuition. You'll learn how your emotions influence your decisions. Most importantly... You'll begin remembering that you already have everything within you to create a life that feels aligned, peaceful, and abundant. The challenge isn't about becoming someone new. It's about coming home to who you've always been. If your heart has been whispering that it's time for something different... Listen. It may be the beginning of everything. I'd love to walk this journey with you. Because your greatest investment has never been in the stock market. It's always been in yourself. And when you awaken that relationship... Everything else begins to change. With Love, Julie P.S. Sometimes the biggest transformation doesn't happen because life changes around us. It happens because we finally become aware of the life we've been creating, and realize we have the power to create something new. If you're ready, I'd love to have you join us for the 21-Day Wake Up Wealth Challenge.
