Like many people, I have issues around money. I call them money baggage — those limiting thoughts, beliefs and emotions around my finances. What about you? What feelings do you associate with money? Do thoughts of money make you feel anxious, angry, unworthy or confident and relaxed ? What’s your money self-talk like? Do you think about abundance and achievement or lack and limitation?

I decided to clear out my baggage and increase the abundance in my life. I needed support to build a new financial fitness routine. I know about the Laws of Attraction, the importance of affirmations and declarations, and the benefits of positive thinking. I wanted an improved relationship with money. I needed personal development tools and exercises to clear my resistance and anchor my wealth building intentions. I sought to rewire my emotional circuitry, to take myself off automatic pilot and kick my energy up a notch or two.

You’ve heard of IQ, your intellectual quotient. It purportedly measures your intellectual intelligence.

Emotional quotient, EQ, measures your emotional intelligence.

According to Emotional Intelligence author Daniel Goleman, emotional intelligence includes self-awareness and impulse control, persistence, zeal and self-motivation, empathy and social deftness.

MQ, your money quotient, measures your money intelligence. If such a measure exists, it would suggest how much you know about money. How well-versed are you about money? How much do you know about this *medium of exchange* that impacts, and in many cases defines, the quality of your life?

Money is the last not-to-be-discussed topic in the United States. While we talk about sex, politics and race in public, money has been excluded from the discussion. It has been effectively shrouded in terminology designed to intimidate, confuse, and stop our questioning.

Well, I’ve got a new mindset and a new attitude. I’m going to get over all the intimidation factors, and ask as many money questions as I like. And I will get answers.

What about you? Are you ready to learn more about money? I’d love it if you would join me.

Warmly,

Judith
