The Emotion Behind Money Workbook - Julie Murphy

Are you tired of feeling as if your finances control your life?

Are you ready to make peace with money once and for all?

In the nine years since I started my wealth management practice, I've guided thousands of people through the process of financial healing. I can tell you without reservation that healing your relationship with money will illuminate the path to financial abundance and inner peace. By reading my book The Emotion Behind Money: Building Wealth from the Inside Out and completing the exercises in this workbook, you will finally process the emotions you associate with money and discover how to create harmony and balance in every aspect of your life.

My book and this workbook guide you through each step of the process toward financial health. The first step is to unplug from the outside world and focus inward, on your authentic self and the Inner Wealth you naturally possess. The second step is to define your dreams, desires and passions, so that you know what you really want out of life. Finally, you must create a Personal Navigation Route. This plan will get you from where you are to where you want to go. And I'll be with you every step of the way.

Before we begin, I encourage you to acknowledge your inner critic-you know, the little voice that insists your dreams are silly and your emotions unwarranted. As you read The Emotion Behind Money and complete the pages in this workbook, your inner critic is bound to pop up from time to time, insisting that you're incapable of solving your money problems. Make a habit of countering any critical thoughts you might have with supportive statements, such as, "Wow, I've spent so many years feeling this way. No wonder money issues are so painful for me," or "I'm choosing to think about this issue in a new way this time." Positive thoughts like these help heal the emotional wounds that prevent us from living the lives we really want.

The exercises in this workbook move chronologically through my book The Emotion Behind Money. Some of the workbook pages correspond directly with exercises in the book and give you the space and the support you need to complete them. The workbook also contains many additional exercises not found in the book.

It's time now to take your first steps toward discovering your authentic life. It's an exciting time to be you!
