The psychologist explained what exactly prevents people from earning more

Some people seem to live at work, but still earn quite a bit. There can be many reasons for this, but some of them are related to psychology, says psychologist Mikhail Labkovsky.

In his Telegram channel, he pointed out that neither circumstances nor other people affect the level of your earnings, you yourself influence it.

He also listed the possible problems that prevent a change in the financial situation.

Our foundations and limitations. How often have you heard from adults since childhood phrases like “money is not the main thing”, “we didn’t live richly – there’s nothing to start”? Such formulations are often used as an excuse for low income. In fact, money is indeed not the most important thing in life, but there are things for which they are necessary. And there is nothing wrong with that.

The psychologist also highlights fear. People are often panicky afraid to change something in their lives. This kind of fear is completely normal. But on condition that you step over it and overcome it.

Condemnation of relatives. Near you, there will definitely be those who want to speak out about your desire to earn more, and not always in a positive way. However, if you are very worried about the opinions of others, this problem is also worth paying attention to and working out. Life will become much easier when you do not depend on what the people around you say.

In addition, self-doubt prevents you from starting to earn money. It may seem to you that you don’t seem to doubt your own skills and abilities, but a malicious voice will still sound in your head: “Where are you climbing, don’t stick out, you won’t succeed.” It is important to remember that these thoughts are acquired. They originally belong to people who have influenced you at some point in your life. However, these thoughts can and should be eliminated.
