The first price for happiness is: Avoid too lengthy meditations on the past. – Andre Maurois
It is the first for a reason. But is also extremely hard. It’s first because if you dwell on your past mistakes it will keep you there. You’ll never move to the mode of building a better life. I happen to know very well an executive at one of the largest companies in the United States. She has a few super powers. One is work ethic. Nobody out works her. The one I admire the most is the ability to take a mistake and course correct almost immediately. She assesses the failure to understand it and simple moves on with the lessons learned. Thus she solves a lot of problems and is very successful. The point is, we all have messed up something. I have! The key to is learn from it and press on. Do better with your new knowledge. Don’t beat yourself up. Just get over it! Happiness is right around the corner.
Moving forward after a major financial mistake can feel daunting, but it’s crucial for your growth and happiness. Acknowledge the mistake, analyze what went wrong, and then forgive yourself. Set up small, achievable financial goals to regain your confidence. Whether it’s creating a strict budget, consulting with a financial coach, or educating yourself on financial literacy, each step you take is a step toward recovery. Remember, everyone stumbles, but the wise learn to walk anew. Embrace this as an opportunity to build a more resilient and informed financial life.
What is a financial wellness coach anyway? Unlike financial advisors who might focus more on investment strategies, financial coaches often focus on everyday money management and behavioral changes. They empower clients to make informed decisions, manage their finances independently, and develop habits that lead to long-term financial stability and independence. Remember, while financial coaches can provide educational and planning services, they typically do not manage assets or provide investment advice unless they are also licensed to do so.
