Money affirmations
Affirmations about money have a reputation for wishful thinking, and a phrase you file under wishful thinking stops doing anything. If you came looking for something more practical, that is roughly how these were written.
Most of the 25 money phrases in Mira are about something you do: check the balance, put something away this week, wait a day before you buy, send the invoice, name your rate. A few are the more familiar kind, because the feelings underneath money, guilt and fear especially, are real and a line can name them. They are grouped into four: how you look at money, saving and spending, asking for what your work is worth, and building slowly.
How you look at it
Money makes a lot of people flinch, so several of these are about looking without flinching: at the balance, at where it went, at what you actually have. “My worth is not my balance” and “without guilt” are there for the feelings that come with the numbers, which are often the harder part.
Pairs with calm, ordinary things: a notebook open on a kitchen table, morning light on a desk, a mug beside a laptop.
Saving and spending
Small, dated and specific: “this week”, “a day”, “this month”. A rule you can act on tonight is worth more than a mantra about abundance, and “I let one purchase wait a day” is the kind of rule that costs nothing to try.
Pairs with a wallet on a table, a list in a pocket, a jar on a shelf: pictures of choosing, not of piles of cash.
Asking for what it is worth
Written for freelancers, employees and anyone who has ever undercharged. The verbs are the point: send, charge, name, ask. Each is something you can do today, and the ones about your rate and your number are aimed at the moment just before you soften it.
Pairs with the tools of the work itself, such as a laptop, a workbench or a set of pens: a picture of what you are charging for rather than of the money.
Building it slowly
The most familiar-sounding lines, kept because some days a wish is what you need. They sit last, and there are only four, because the groups above are the ones that ask something of you.
Pairs with anything that grows slowly: a plant on a windowsill, a stack of firewood, a road heading uphill.
Put one where you spend
Pick the line that fits the money decision you keep making badly, not the one that sounds richest. A lot of spending happens on a phone, which makes its Home Screen a fair place for the phrase that says wait a day. Mira pairs it with any photo from your library.

Affirmations are not a budget, and Mira is not financial advice. If money is causing you real distress, a qualified adviser can help in ways a phrase can’t.
