Avoiding Until It's Urgent
What This Looks Like
When money feels overwhelming, confusing, or heavy, it’s natural to want to look the other way. You might avoid checking your bank account, delay opening bills, or push financial decisions down the road until they absolutely can’t be ignored. It’s not because you don’t care. It’s because sometimes money feels like one more thing that’s just too much to handle.
​
Avoiding might feel like a way to protect yourself from stress in the moment. But over time, it often creates even bigger stress: late fees, missed opportunities, the constant low-grade anxiety of knowing something needs attention but not feeling ready to face it.
​
What’s Possible
You’re not alone. And you’re not failing. Avoidance is usually a survival strategy, not a personal flaw.
​
The good news? You can shift from avoidance to action, one tiny, safe step at a time.
​
Imagine if facing your money didn't have to feel terrifying or shameful. Imagine if it could feel manageable, steady, even empowering. What if opening your bank app or sitting down to pay bills felt like taking control, not giving up control?
​
The way forward isn’t about doing everything at once. It’s about building small, manageable habits that help you stay connected to your money, even when life gets busy or overwhelming.
​
Picture checking in with your money without fear. Picture handling expenses on time, building savings little by little, and making decisions that support your future instead of avoiding them until they’re urgent. Imagine feeling proud of yourself, not because you did everything perfectly, but because you stayed engaged.

Bonus: If You’re Self-Employed
Avoiding money when you run a business can cause serious ripple effects: missed tax deadlines, late payments, unexpected shortfalls. It can also chip away at your confidence as a business owner. But it doesn’t have to stay that way.
​
Building small, regular habits, like checking your income weekly, setting up automatic savings for taxes, or reviewing expenses monthly, can turn avoidance into empowerment and help your business thrive.
