Playing it safe and not lose
Too many avoid money subjects like its explosive and, at the same time wanting it more. They want to play it safe because of the fear of losing it. When you are worried about money, it is easy to play it safe. What if you invest in something, and it does not pay off?

Playing it safe may allow you to hold onto the money you have. However, it is not going to help you achieve more money. The most successful people are those who know when to take risks. So if you want to become more financially healthy, you should stop playing it too safe.
Remember, the ship is safe in the harbor, but that is not what it is meant for. Money is no different. It needs to be circulated to grow.
Failing to track your returns on investment
Whenever you spend money, you invest. If you pay for a meal out, your return is food and a possibly good time. When you pay for an online learning course, your return is knowledge. So everything you spend money on is giving you some form of return. The key is to ensure you are getting the right kind of returns.
You need to track your returns to ensure your money mindset is maintained. You need to know what you are spending and the benefits it delivers. That way, you can cut out any spending, which could provide better returns. And happily spend when are getting good returns.
Giving in to negative thinking
It is impossible to think all the time positively. I get it and certainly do not want you to ignore facts. But you also need to separate facts from your emotions and see how they are without tinting them with your feelings. If you find yourself frequently giving in to negative thinking, that is something you will want to address.
The more negatively you view your financials, the more negative experiences you will have. So, you must learn to switch those negative thoughts to positive ones.
Relying on good karma
A common mistake that damages your money mindset is relying on karma. That is, expecting the universe to provide for you.
You must ensure you do the work rather than just depending on good vibes. To become financially wealthy, you need to be willing to put in a lot of hard and intelligent work. You're also going to need to be persistent.
You are going to experience times when you feel like giving up. That is natural. Developing a positive money mindset does not happen overnight. It takes work, dedication, and commitment. It is about pushing through even when you do feel like giving up. If you want something in the universe, you need to be willing to work hard for it.
Attaching money with emotions
Finally, another mistake that could jeopardize your money mindset is your emotions. Attaching money to emotions is highly damaging to your money mindset.
You need to spend money to satisfy certain emotions to achieve financial freedom. However, money isn't an emotion; it is a tool. The less you tie your finances to your feelings, the less power they will have over you.
There are a lot of mistakes you can make when developing a healthy money mindset. The above are just some of the most common mistakes to avoid. If you find that you are making more than one of the mistakes above, it is essential to focus on changing just one habit at a time. Try to fix only a few things at a time; it will take a lot of work. So go for an easy one, and once you master it, move on to the next one.
