Надежда Белова – Your personal money code. A guide to financial freedom (страница 2)
There are turning points in everyone’s life when everything you’ve built over the years crumbles in an instant, leaving behind only a feeling of loss and hopelessness. And perhaps, it’s exactly in this moment, when everything seems lost, that true growth begins!
I always knew I would share my journey – the rocky roads that led me to understand my personal money code – but I thought I needed to accumulate more knowledge, experience more crises and failures before my story could truly be valuable. I believed I needed to be at the peak of my financial success before sharing my experiences with the world. However, life showed me that true experience is not just about success, but also about the moments of failure. And it was these moments that, in fact, became the crucial turning points that led me to a deeper understanding of myself, my potential, and, of course, my relationship with money.
The financial crisis became a kind of «wake-up call» for me. I realized that up until that point, I had been living in an illusion, and what I had considered success was neither genuine nor stable.
This realization came to me through a series of vivid events, each of which pushed me to examine my own beliefs. One such moment was a candid conversation with a client. She confessed to me that, as a numerologist, she had carefully chosen me as a dietitian. According to all her meticulous calculations, I was the best specialist. However, she found my fee too low, which made her uncomfortable. My services were «cheap,» and though she had no other better option, she had to turn to me. I felt so ashamed in that moment. I was used to working with people who recognized the value of my knowledge, my experience, and my energy. Yet this person saw how little I valued myself and respected my own work.
This was when the real financial crisis began. I knew I no longer wanted to work at such low rates, but I wasn’t ready to raise my prices either.
At that moment, I made an important realization: in order to change my financial reality, I needed to change my inner beliefs. I began to work on myself, exploring the deep-rooted causes of my financial problems. I realized that I had many hidden blocks and fears around money, and it was these blocks that were preventing me from reaching a new level of income.
The crisis I faced at that time became a huge lesson and source of strength. I understood that it is in these moments that we can truly learn who we are and what we need in order to move forward. This was the point where I was able to reset my understanding of money, success, and myself. It led me to create a reality where money is not just a means of survival, but an essential element contributing to my personal growth and development.
If you’re paid less than you’re worth or are doing work that doesn’t align with your purpose, your financial flow can completely shut off – that’s exactly what happened to me.
Money as a reflection of inner state
Up until a certain point, I viewed money as something external, just a means that was supposed to be there. Money, to me, was an «unstable variable» – something that came and went without explanation. But after years of working in various fields, with clients and with myself, I realized that money is not just a resource.
Our relationship with money, like our relationship with other aspects of life, depends on our inner world. If there is scarcity, fear, or doubt within us, these feelings will inevitably reflect on our financial flow. However, if we see money as something necessary for the realization of our goals, ideas, and needs, that awareness allows financial flow to come to us much more naturally and organically.
As I began working on myself and accumulating experience in psychology, energy work, and self-development, I noticed how my views on money were changing. It was a gradual process, but a very important one. At some point, I realized that my actions should stem not only from a desire to help others, but also from an inner confidence that I truly deserve wealth and prosperity.
Society has taught us to think about and care for others. In childhood, we were shamed for greed, demanding behavior, and selfishness. We were molded into being obedient and convenient for society. Demanding much for oneself was seen as shameful, immodest.
Yes, working with people, I observed various imbalances in personality and character. Some were overly greedy and angry, and they needed to become more generous and kind. These people had their own lessons to learn. But there were also those who needed to learn how to defend themselves, be firmer in their decisions, and put their desires first. They needed to recognize manipulation, stay away from toxic people, and not allow themselves to be used, devalued, or humiliated.
This moment became a real turning point for me. I realized that money is not just a reward for work done, but a kind of energy that flows through me, enabling me to create, share knowledge, help others, and create something valuable. I deserve wealth not only because I do my job well but also because I am valuable, my ideas are valuable, and I must use my gifts not only for the benefit of the world but also for myself.
The universe, like a caring parent, wants us to value ourselves, love ourselves, and receive fair compensation for our work. After all, if nothing ever changes, you won’t even think about the need to change anything.
The first steps on my path of transformation were connected to reexamining old beliefs that prevented me from accepting money as a normal part of life. In our society, there are many stereotypes around money – such as that money is bad, that it is linked to deception and greed, or that wealthy people are necessarily selfish and ruthlessly exploit the poor.
However, while these beliefs are widespread, they lack any real foundation. Money, in and of itself, does not have moral qualities; it is neutral. Its significance depends on how we perceive it and how we use it. For me, the realization that money is a tool – a means by which we can do good, create world-changing projects, and bring inspiring ideas to life – became crucial.
The psychology of money requires working through inner blocks. In my practice, I often encountered clients who, despite external success, did not feel worthy of wealth internally. They hid their achievements, undervalued their own worth, and doubted their abilities. Their relationship with money was complicated, filled with guilt and fear. This state typically gave rise to more and more financial problems.
To change your financial reality, it is essential to work with these blocks, with the beliefs that keep us stuck in poverty or middle-class circumstances. And, above all, we must learn to perceive money as something natural, normal, and necessary. It is important to understand that money is not evil nor the result of exploitation; it is merely a manifestation of the energy we radiate into the world.
Embracing your own worth is another important step on the path to transformation. Very often, people who work in service-oriented fields, especially those in helping professions, fail to recognize their own value. We may help others, but we don’t always know how to help ourselves. This is because many of us associate our worth with the willingness to give and help, often forgetting about our own needs and desires.
For me, an important milestone on the path to recognizing my value was acknowledging that I have the right not only to help others but also to benefit from it. First and foremost, to benefit in the form of fair compensation for my work.
When we recognize our worth and are confident in ourselves, money flows more easily and with much less effort. It becomes not only a reflection of our work but also a signal that we are moving in the right direction.
When I reached a certain level of understanding that money is an ally, it became clear to me that to attract more financial abundance, I needed to invest in myself, in my growth, and in my ideas. Success depends not only on how much I work and how many people I can serve, but also on how willing I am to invest in the development of my own potential.
During this period, I decided to change my working model. Instead of continuing to «chase» the number of clients, I focused on improving the quality of my services. I began to give more attention and energy to each client, deepening my knowledge in the fields of psychology, energy work, and other areas that intrigued me and would enrich my experience.
In my work, I had always tried to find the connection between a person’s health and their character and perception of the world. I noticed that health recovery programs produced the best results when I engaged in conversations about the person’s life, asking about their family, feelings, and experiences. I had always applied this approach in my work but hadn’t fully realized that it made me a unique specialist. It wasn’t until I heard one of my clients say: «You, Nadezhda, can say you’re saving people’s lives, not just teaching them about health,» that I realized how much this approach set me apart.
