68: Finding Balance With Your Money

Your brain is not wired for balance. Your brain is wired for polarization. Your brain loves black and white all or nothing thinking and in all aspects of life, your brain wants you to pick a side and to not entertain that the opposite could be true. This is what quiets the cognitive dissonance between possibilities and creates the certainty that your brain is always seeking. This is even true in the way that we think about money which becomes problematic because when you're not thinking about money in a balanced way, you will not have an emotional experience with money that is balanced which means you won't manage your finances in a balanced way. You will live in the extremes, in the all or nothing, which closes you off to new possibilities and reaching your highest potential.   In this week of The Money Love Podcast we're talking all about balance and how to create it within your finances. We start with exploring why achieving balance in life is so difficult and why our brain fights balance, how so much of the common money messages we absorb don't promote balance, and the steps that we can take to create a more balanced mental, emotional, and tactical management style with our money.
