Personal Note: One of the great insights Donna gave in this article relates to what I would describe as one-step-at-a-time approach toward success in our personal finances. Often, we love our plans to be thoroughly thought-out from beginning to end before attempting to take the first step in achieving our desired goals. However, such opportunities rarely occur; and as a result, desired goals are usually attained by individuals who are ready to travel the road in an informed manner, but also with certain degree of uncertainty – believing that with every successive step, comes further illumination.

Many of us have issues with money, many of us have limited education and knowledge when it comes to managing money, and many of us have no clue how to move forward into a life of financial ease. One of the contexts I live by is the idea that we already have all that we need within us to find the answers we need.
As a coach, I help clients access that inner wisdom, gain confidence in themselves and share some development resources I know have helped others that might assist them. Even without the assistance of a coach, you can access your own wisdom, gain confidence and find resources that will assist you. (this article, for example!) Ultimately though, it is you that will do the work, it is you that will find your own answers, and it is you that you will turn to.
I hope you already have faith in your own wisdom and ability to find what you need to get what you want. Even if you don't, know that you do have wisdom, you do have ability, and you are absolutely capable of changing your financial health for the better. So, the first step towards healing your money:
Ask yourself this question: What do you know you need to do to heal your money? And what can you do TODAY to take ONE step in the direction of what you know you need to do?
We often blame fear, procrastination, self-sabotage, laziness or some other negative trait for not doing what we know to do...but more often in my experience it is simple lack of knowledge that stops us moving forward. If you know the very first step you need to take - be it paying a bill, setting up a direct debit, balancing an account, or just finding out what you need to know - you can do it. So do it. :-D
Often we miss this vital step - because we don't know what we need to do overall to fix our financial situation, we fail to act on what we already know. The irony being that if you do what you already know to do, you will gain some forward momentum. If you do a few things that you know to do, you will gain even more forward momentum.
And when you have done what you know you need to know, most of the time another action presents itself to you as an idea, so you can keep moving forward with increasing momentum...and before you know it, your life has changed. This one is the one question to remember - because you are the one who knows what's going on in your financial world. If you do nothing else, at least remember to ask yourself this question often and essentially, ACT on the answer to the question...and that alone will help you heal your money.
