A book that has worked for me and my relationship with money is "The Energy of Money" by Maria Nemeth. You can click the picture of it below if you want a copy of your own, but I am going to give all the important lessons and exercises right here.
I have had this book for so long,I dont even remeber where I bought it. I have a habit when reading a good book.. I highlight the most important parts of each page. That way, when i go to re-read it, I can just read the highlighted parts to squeeze the real value out quicker.
I have re-read this book about 7 times.. I dont know why but it works for me. When I get my mind and spirit right about money it becomes easier to get and hold onto.
We like to pass on anything that might be valuable so I used my notes, got a little computer help and summed up every paragraph, what it means and the actions you can take to get your mind and spirit in the best condition to attract and hold on to MONEY.
Because I know you're smart, I am going to spare you all the words and JUST the lessons and the exercises (the things you should do to get your mind and energy right with money)
Part I: The Hero’s Purpose
Be Willing — Example:
Exercise:
Think of one thing you've been avoiding (like saving money or cleaning
your room). Say out loud, “I’m willing to look at this honestly.”
Why it matters: Willingness is like opening a door. You don’t have to know everything—you just have to be ready to try.
Intentions & Integrity — Example:
Exercise: Write down one goal (like saving $10) and one value (like honesty). Now check: Does your goal fit with your value?
Why it matters: When your goals match your values, you won’t feel like you’re fighting yourself.
Goals Focus Energy — Example:
Exercise: Pick a SMART goal. Example: “I’ll save $5 a week for 4 weeks.”
Why it matters: Goals are like targets—you need a clear target to hit it.
Part II: Inner Blocks to Progress
Driven Behavior Wastes Energy — Example:
Exercise: Notice when you’re doing something just to please others or out of fear. Write it down.
Why it matters: Being “busy” isn’t always helpful. Real action comes from real purpose.
Scarcity as a Teacher — Example:
Exercise: Think of a time you felt there wasn’t enough (money, time, friends). What did it teach you about being creative or careful?
Why it matters: Scarcity can help you learn, not just scare you.
Transform Inner Blocks — Example:
Exercise:
Notice a “Monkey Mind” thought (like “I’ll never be good with money”).
Write it down and add, “That’s just a thought—not the truth.”
Why it matters: Naming your fears can shrink them.
Part III: Clearing the Path
Releasing Old Beliefs — Example:
Exercise: Write a belief you want to let go of (like “Money is bad”). Then write, “I choose to believe I can use money for good.”
Why it matters: Old beliefs only have power if you hold on to them.
Forgiveness Unleashes Energy — Example:
Exercise: Write a letter (you don’t have to send it) forgiving someone—or yourself—for a money mistake.
Why it matters: Forgiveness sets you free, even if the other person never knows.
Keeping Promises — Example:
Exercise: Make a small promise to yourself (like “I’ll put $1 in savings today”)—and do it.
Why it matters: Every promise you keep builds your confidence.
Part IV: Staying the Course
Obstacles Lead to Breakthroughs — Example:
Exercise: Write down a recent problem and one thing you learned from it.
Why it matters: Every obstacle has a lesson hiding inside.
Mutual Support — Example:
Exercise: Ask a friend or family member to help you stick to a goal—and offer to help them too.
Why it matters: Teamwork makes goals easier.
Gratitude Opens Doors — Example:
Exercise: Write 3 things you’re grateful for right now.
Why it matters: Gratitude shifts your focus from “not enough” to “plenty.”
There you go.. trust me, the time you take to do the exercises and get yourself in a good relatioship with money WORKS. Now I dont have to re-read the book anymore I can just come to this blog page for a refresher anytime I need. Bookmark this page and share it with family and friends because it can REALLY help.
If you like this and find value in it, let us know in the comments because I have lots of other books on business, realtionships, communication and money that I can sum and share!
God bless!
