The financial freedom
mindset is shifting your mindset now so that your life begins to reflect your
best life without having to wait until traditional retirement age or being
fully financial independent.
The path to financial
independence is not an easy one, it can be simple at times but also mentally
draining. It may require changes in behavior, attitudes, and
mindset.
That’s where the
financial freedom mindset comes in. It enables you to slowly begin to
replicate your ideal day without having to wait until “retirement”
Jonas Story
At the age of 32 and a
half, (I know a weird age to reflect on), it hit me. If I was going
to work until the traditional retirement age of 65 then I would have to work
for as long as I had currently been alive!
Just the thought of that
depressed me. My job was enjoyable, but it’s not what I wanted to devote
the majority of my time and energy to for the next 30+ years.
I wasn’t ready to just
up and quit my job but something had to change – I needed a mindset shift. So
after a lot of thought and reflection I adopted a financial freedom mindset.
The first step towards
the financial freedom mindset is deciding what your perfect life looks and
feels like. If you have never given any thought to it, now is the
time.
Take a minute, right now
(well finish reading this paragraph first), and close your
eyes. With your eyes closed, envision the ideal day in your best
life. What your life looks like once you’ve hit financial and time
freedom.
When you close your eyes
and imagine your best life and ideal day what do you see? What does
your day look like, feel like, smell like?
Okay, now take a minute
to actually close your eyes.
It’s okay if when you
close your eyes you are not sure what to imagine. But if that’s the
case, it’s worth spending some time thinking about it. If you have
no idea what your ideal day looks like or what you are working towards, how
will you know when you achieve it? Maybe you already have.
Being as specific as
possible when describing your ideal day will help you to achieve it. It can
also help to keep you motivated. Knowing your “why” or the purpose
behind what you are doing can help you stay motivated when the times get tough.
Now that you have taken
some time to think about your ideal day and best life, it’s time to put pen to
paper, or fingers to keyboard. Record it. Write a
description of your perfect day from the moment you wake up in the morning to the
moment your head hits the pillow at the end of the night.
That’s when I realized
how integral travel and exploring was for my mental health.
To be playful and
adventurous without the stress we had in our everyday lives.
I love the feeling of
being on vacation. Even though at times it can be busy, there is just something
about being away on an adventure that just causes my whole body to relax and my
mind to be at ease.
What does this for you?
Maybe it’s travel. Maybe it’s creating something. Or it could be carving out
time to pursue a passion.
Whatever it is, the next
time you do it, take some time to note your mindset before during and after.
That feeling you get during, that’s what I call the financial freedom
mindset. That thing that you are striving to achieve with financial
independence.
.
While on vacation, even
if for just a short period of time I got a glimpse of what it would be and feel
like to be financially independent. This only happened because I
save up in advance for my vacations. I have a vacation fund set
aside for all the spending I want to do while away. This way I don’t
have to worry about my finances and I can focus on my adventures.
Just like I had a
balance between my job that was here and my love of travel, I needed to learn
how to live my best life everyday day without having to wait until traditional
retirement. To find that feeling in my everyday life and not just while travelling
or on vacation.
It took me a long time
but slowly I started to shift my mindset. I began to look for opportunities to
make my every day resemble my ideal day. I started to look for
adventure in my local community. How could I my become a local tourist? Or
enjoy a staycation?
But it wasn’t just
adventure that was part of my financial freedom mindset. It was that feeling of
independence, like I controlled my own time.
How could I achieve that
at home when I had a “day job” and regular responsibilities?
In order to assess my
situation, I did an audit of my day. First I started by looking at all my
responsibilities and how I spent my time. Were all my responsibilities
necessary or had I put them on myself? What was I spending my time
doing?
When I did have time for
myself I was wasting it mindlessly watching television instead of putting my
energy towards things I enjoyed. I admit, sometimes I do enjoy watching
television and there is nothing wrong with that. The problem was
that most of the time I didn’t enjoy it, I was just using television to fill
time.
Once I realized I was
caught in this trap I looked for ways to get out. Yes, I still had responsibilities
in my job and personal life. But I started looking for and realizing that a lot
of what I thought were responsibilities were unnecessary busy work.
Besides looking at all
my responsibilities, I did a time audit. How was I spending all my time? Was I
enjoying how my time was spent or was I so exhausted and checked out from
everything that I was just going through the paces?
Realizing that when I
said yes to something I said no to everything else was like a lightbulb moment
for me. Learning to say no turned out to be a huge step towards
achieving a financial freedom mindset.
To free up my time as
opposed to just giving it away. The more free-time I had, the more I could do
with it what I wanted. Now that I knew what I wanted my ideal day to
look like having time to do some of those things now which helped to solidify
my financial freedom mindset.
My perfect day did not
include having someone else dictate how I spent all my time. Even if
I wasn’t financially independent enough to live my ideal day, I could still use
the financial freedom mindset to try and make today somewhat resemble it.
What about your time?
Have you ever done a time audit to see how your time is being
spent? Are you spending it how you want to or how everyone else is?
