• Ich habe einen aktiven Part und verdiene mein eigenes Geld.
• Mein Geld und ein schönes Leben stehen mir zu.
• Ich habe den Willen und das Vertrauen, Verantwortung für mein finanzielles Schicksal zu übernehmen.
• Ich habe ein dynamisches Selbstbild: Ich kann mir Fähigkeiten aneignen. Ich kann jederzeit dazulernen und mich verändern.
• Ich entwickele meine eigenen Geldwerte. Ich überlege mir, wie ich mein Geld ausgeben möchte, worin ich investiere (Profit und Werte beides völlig ok!)
• Ich würdige mein Geld. Ich freue mich über alles, was ich einnehme, gebe es mit Bewusstsein und vielleicht auch etwas Dankbarkeit aus und werde zuversichtlich und zufrieden Geld anlegen.
