Day 26
I had the realisation last night that I have an unhealthy relationship with money.
I've been pondering the question of why I haven't spontaneously got myself into action to start my business in light of all the things I've been reading about self-determination theory. Somehow I got on to not having to work for money: "What if I didn't have to work for money? What if I could do whatever I want and money would still come to me?". Which led me to the question of "Would I still start a business if I had all the money I wanted?".
What followed was a very interesting internal exploration. The answer to the last question was "probably not" so I started asking myself "If I had everything I wanted, what would I want to do?".
At some point I started realising that I dislike money. I think the hunger and lust for money brings out the worst in people so I have very negative associations with making it or wanting it. So then, in addition to the previous question, I started thinking about how this might affect my motivation and attempts to make money.
Interesting night. I'm considering extending my use of this program beyond 32 days and delaying Alpha Male for a bit longer.
