Why avoiding your finances makes you more anxious

If money makes you anxious, you’re not broken. Your brain is just confusing information with emotion. Telling yourself that the only way to stay calm is to avoid it completely, or to control it perfectly. We can find real peace when we know the real facts. And then manage our minds around that, coming from intuition and wisdom. Even if there’s a scared inner part saying, “But what if it all falls apart?”... We don’t have to push her away. We get to hold her hand and walk forward in a grounded way.
