Why is it difficult to increase your income? How to avoid this?
I suppose that almost every one of us was faced with a situation where, at certain periods of our lives, the level of our earnings could not rise above a certain mark. We change jobs, look for part-time jobs, take an extra load, and as a result we have a very definite amount with slight fluctuations. Is the situation familiar? Let's try to figure out the reasons.
Despite our conscious aspirations to earn more, there is always some unconscious permission for ourselves to have this or that amount of money. Where does this permission come from? Usually from a parental family. The child gets used to the standard of living that his parents led, and continues to reproduce it by inertia in his life.
Therefore, most often, it is quite difficult for a person to radically change the material standard of living compared with the standard of living of his parents. Although, of course, there are exceptions.
Also, our internal permission to possess a certain level of material wealth can be socially determined. For example, it is widely believed that teachers earn little, bankers earn a lot, etc. And if a person considers himself to be a certain professional community, he can automatically set himself a financial bar.
Surely, there are still reasons for the emergence of an unconscious permission or a ban on attracting money into your life.
And now I suggest exploring your bar - the level of income that you allow yourself to have in a month and above which you cannot “jump”.
To do this, write a few numbers on a piece of paper. These will be the amounts that you will present now as monthly income. Write, a few amounts, the one that you now receive per month, a little less, one and a half times more, two times more, etc.
And now we will do a little exercise. Imagine in turn that you get the amount from the list per month and carefully monitor your feelings. Start with the smallest amount, do not rush. Tune in to how you will feel, how comfortable or uncomfortable it is. Whether you are experiencing any sensations in the body, your heartbeat may be intensifying or other sensations may arise. Spend no more than 3-5 minutes for each amount and proceed to the next. Living the feeling of presenting income levels, somewhere you will feel very comfortable, somewhere uncomfortable. your task is to catch those amounts that give you a pleasant sensation, relaxation.
If at some point you feel that tension and anxiety will arise with an increase in the represented income per month, this will mean that already this level of income, most likely you will not be able to allow it into your life. So, the previous amount will be the level of income that you allow yourself to have.
