The psychology of financial freedom: how to overcome limiting beliefs and achieve financial independence as a digital nomad
You've heard about the benefits of being a digital nomad. You know it's a realistic goal. But still, you can't seem to make it happen. Why? The answer likely lies in your psychology—and with some work, you can change that. Here are some ways to break through your limiting beliefs and achieve financial independence as a digital nomad:
How to overcome limiting beliefs
Limiting beliefs are the foundation of our lives. They're the reason why you don't think you can make it as a writer, or why your friend believes he'll never get the job he wants. They're also what keep us from pursuing our dreams and achieving financial freedom as digital nomads.
Limiting beliefs are like mental walls that block us from doing what we want to do in life because we've been taught that certain things aren't possible for us (or anyone). For example: "I'm not smart enough" or "I'm not good at math." These kinds of thoughts have been programmed into our brains since childhood--and even if they weren't true when we were younger, they may still seem true now because they've become so ingrained in our minds over time. But limiting beliefs don't have to hold us back forever! There are ways we can break free from them...
The power of positive thinking
Positive thinking is not the same as being happy. You can be positive about your future and still have negative thoughts about the present, but it's important to acknowledge that these two things are different.
Positive thinking helps you focus on what you want rather than what you don't want, which is very powerful in helping you overcome limiting beliefs and achieve financial independence as a digital nomad.
Money is a tool, not a reward
Money is a tool, not a reward.
Money is not the root of all evil. It's just another means to an end and a way for us to achieve our goals in life.
If you've been brainwashed by society into thinking that money is bad or that earning more than $X will make your life worse, then it's time for a change!
The psychology of financial independence
If you're looking to achieve financial independence, it's important to understand the difference between having and being financially independent. Having means that you have the money in your bank account, but being refers to the way that money makes you feel about yourself as a person. For example:
If I have $10k in my savings account but don't know how much is there or what it's for, then I am only able to experience being financially independent when I actually spend some of that money on something tangible (like buying an expensive pair of shoes).
If I am able to invest wisely and earn interest on my investments without worrying too much about what's happening in the stock market today or tomorrow because I've done my research beforehand and know where my hard earned cash will go when invested wisely--this means that not only do I currently have enough savings/investments so we can live comfortably without working again until retirement age comes around; but also because this allows me freedom from worrying about making sure there's enough month left over after bills are paid each month so we can survive until payday rolls around again next week!
You have the power to be financially independent.
You have the power to be financially independent. You can change your mindset and achieve financial independence as a digital nomad.
It's not about being rich, it's about being free.
We all have the power to achieve financial independence. It is up to us whether we use it or not. I hope that this article has given you some insight into how your mindset can affect your ability to save money and reach financial freedom as a digital nomad.
