Today’s Happy Snacks at Noon is going to be about understanding how money can be used for happiness. You might be familiar with the phrase “money can’t buy happiness.” This is true, but only to a certain degree. I’m going to say, first and foremost, stop using money to facilitate your unhappiness. You might think, “Wait a minute. If I’m using money for my unhappiness, why should I be making money? Why should I be bringing money into my life?” All of this stuff is unconscious, so first, we need to understand how you’re using money for your unhappiness.
If you’re following along in the video, then great! I’m also going to post some screenshots here too in case you’re reading the blog. In this first image, everything below the blue line is what’s happening on an unconscious level. Just as a reminder, the unconscious mind is responsible for our emotions as well as our wellbeing. Everything that makes us feel happy or unhappy is primarily driven by beliefs in our unconscious mind.
First, we have to look at what is on this deep unconscious level. In the image, we can see beliefs like “I’m not smart enough” or “I’m a bad person.” We end up spending our entire lives looking for evidence to maintain the existence of these beliefs. So when we’re making money and having it flow into our lives, we use that money in a way to support our unconscious beliefs. It triggers a sequence of events, which ultimately leads to a situation that then justifies the existence of these learned programs and beliefs inside your mind, which ultimately leads to either happiness or unhappiness.
Now the sad thing about this is that a lot of us don’t realize that. They think the solution is to make more money and then they start to blame money as the reason their life is miserable. So this is why it’s so important to understand how you’re using money to potentially feed a belief system, which leads you to be unhappy.
Now the question is how do I stop this process?
We need to flip the script so we can better understand how money can be used to create happiness. Let’s look at this second image now.
We want to focus on shifting these negative beliefs to ones that are positive and allow money to flow into your life easily. For example, before we had put “I’m not good enough.” Instead, let’s say “I am good enough.” This is easier said than done, but go through all your negative beliefs slowly and take your time. What we want to do is to shift the narrative and change the stories by getting to the root of how we know to have those beliefs and programs. When that happens, then all of a sudden money flow actually increases, and decisions on money are made. It’s no longer about creating happiness but rather leading to happiness. This is how money can be used for happiness.

I hope you enjoyed this Happy Snacks at Noon! I really wanted to get to this because I get a lot of questions about the correlation between money and happiness. We forget that money is simply a tool and it’s up to us to get to the root of our core beliefs and change them for the better. If you have any questions or thoughts, please leave a comment below.
