How Our Archetypes Influence Our Financial Behaviour

I open my book Heart, Mind & Money by explaining that we all have a little bit of the prostitute archetype in us because we all have the capacity to do things for money. Things we don’t want to do.

We have multiple archetypes - one is dominant. But the dominant archetype may not run the show when it comes to money.

It may be the shadow of that archetype that runs the show or it may be any of our other archetypes.

We also have collective archetypes and those also have a huge/ major influence on the money archetypes as well.

Because these are the archetypes and shadows we see play out in our daily lives.

Why Self-deprivation Makes You Hate Your Budget

A few months ago, I woke up with the thought that self deprivation is a form of self-torture and it’s often linked to money.

Self-deprivation can be the way we deprive ourselves of sleep, healthy food, deprive our body of exercise, deprive our mind of peace, deprive ourselves of financial wellbeing etc.

Giving to ourselves and nurturing ourselves can be the hardest thing because at the base of it is the desire to self-sabotage.
