 πŸŒΏWhy We Want Money… But Aren’t Always Ready to Receive It

This blog explores the hidden reasons we subconsciously block money, even when we consciously want more. You’ll learn how early conditioning, nervous system patterns, and subconscious beliefs shape your financial reality — and how to start shifting into abundance.

Introduction

It’s one of the biggest mysteries in personal finance and manifestation:
You say you want more money. You pray for it, work for it, visualize it…
So why isn’t it showing up?

The truth is both simple and profound:

You may consciously want money, but subconsciously not be prepared to receive it.

πŸ’¬I spent years wanting more money, yet somehow always sabotaging my progress — until I realized my subconscious was terrified of abundance.

This doesn’t make you flawed.
It makes you human.

In this blog, we’ll explore why so many of us desire abundance yet still energetically reject it — and how hidden belief systems shape our entire financial reality.

πŸ‘‰ If you missed my previous blog on money & spirituality, you can read it here — it sets the foundation for this one beautifully

πŸ’¬This topic is deeply personal for me. For a long time, I couldn’t understand why money felt so unpredictable in my life — until I discovered how my own nervous system reacted to abundance.

1. Money is energy, not math 

On the surface, money looks logical:
work → earn → save → spend.

But on a deeper level, money responds to energy, emotion, and identity.

Why money doesn’t feel safe to the subconscious

If your subconscious associates money with:

  • fear

  • conflict

  • loss

  • guilt

  • stress

  • abandonment

  • responsibility you don’t feel ready for

…then money doesn’t feel safe.

🌟Money flows where your nervous system feels safe.

And what doesn’t feel safe is naturally pushed away — even if you’re trying to pull it in.

Money responds to energy, emotion, identity — and even your environment.
Surrounding yourself with things that make you feel abundant helps rewire the subconscious.

It’s a beautiful way to shift your money vibration while also saving money.

2. Early money conditioning shapes adult financial alignment

As children, we absorb money beliefs without question.

Maybe you heard:

  • “Money doesn’t grow on trees.”

  • “We can’t afford that.”

  • “Rich people are greedy.”

  • “Life is hard.”

  • “Money causes problems.”

  • “Wanting more is ungrateful.”

These messages become internalized rules.

Now, as an adult, your conscious mind says:
πŸ‘‰ “I want financial freedom.”

But your subconscious whispers:
πŸ‘‰ “More money will cause trouble.”

This creates an energetic tug-of-war inside your body.


3. The nervous system resists what feels unfamiliar

Even abundance can feel unsafe when your baseline has always been:

  • survival mode

  • scarcity

  • just getting by

  • watching others stress about money

Your nervous system prefers:
familiar discomfort → over unfamiliar abundance.

Signs your nervous system rejects money

This is why someone might:

  • lose money right after gaining it

  • overspend when things start going well

  • avoid opportunities

  • undercharge

  • not apply for better jobs

  • freeze during growth                                                                                                                       πŸŒΏYou don’t fear lack — you fear abundance that feels unfamiliar.

Your nervous system isn’t sabotaging you —
it’s protecting you from what feels unfamiliar.


4. You might want money… but not what comes with it

Choices and decision-making affecting abundance mindset

Examples of hidden money fears

Many people secretly fear:

  • responsibility

  • expectations

  • visibility

  • judgement

  • change

  • attention

  • outgrowing loved ones

  • losing relationships

So they unknowingly block opportunities that would elevate them.

You think you fear lack.
But sometimes you fear abundance more.

Surround yourself with abundance triggers — journals, candles, affirmations, planners — all of which you can find with cash-back deals using my Rakuten link


Conclusion

If you’ve ever wondered,
“Why isn’t money flowing to me even when I’m doing everything right?”
the answer might be inside you, not outside you.

You don’t have a money problem.
You have a readiness problem — 

πŸ’¬I know this because I lived it. Once I started healing the beliefs I inherited, everything began shifting — my relationship with money, opportunities, and even my confidence.

and readiness is something you can heal, nurture, and transform.

As you continue exploring your relationship with money, small shifts in your daily habits create big energetic openings.

If you’re ready to surround yourself with things that elevate your vibration — from journals to books to self-care items — here's my Rakuten link again to get cash back every time you shop:

Smart Shopping. Real Cash Back. Zero Holiday Stress.

The holiday season is beautiful — but let’s be honest, it can get expensive fast. Between gifts, dΓ©cor, outfits, holiday meals, and last-minute surprises, the average American spends $1,000+ between November and December.

**You don’t have to overspend to give generously.
