Green & Red Zone For Your Finances With Amida Wealth

This month is all about Nurture, Love, and Care with Amida. This is especially true it when it comes nurturing our money mindset. With Mother’s Day right around the corner – Amida wants to remind you about intentional spending. A great way to reflect back on intentional spending, is through the Green and Red Zones taught by Coach Bill Cortright. We’ve taken Coach Bill Cortright’s Green & Red Zone analogy, and applied it to financial stability and risk for Amida. The Green Zone can be referred to as financial growth, and the Red Zone can be referred to as situations that are not aligned with our values, which actually elevate our levels of stress in unhealthy ways. The Green & Red Zone are states of mind, and a fantastic tool to use as we continue to expand throughout our wealth journey.

The Green Zone

The green zone is the expansion state, the base energy is courage. This energy is harmonious, loving, and intuitive. The green zone produces growth, and self care. It is nurturing to the mind, body, and soul. When you’re spending money with purpose, this is the green zone. The green zone is all about spending money that aligns with our values. For example: you want to start feeling more peaceful, and spending time in nature. Perhaps, a green zone spend would be the purchase of a new bike or a new book and picnic blanket. This green zone spend is expansive, and feels good! It is aligned with the core desire to spend more time in nature.

At Amida wealth we are very big on understanding your value system and the reason why behind that value system. Once we understand the why, we see how everything we do in life is either in-line (green zone) or out-out of line (red zone). Ask yourself: How does this purchase align with my values?

The Red Zone

The red zone is the restriction state, and the base energy is fear. When it comes to money, when we are spending without a purpose, this is called Red Zone spending. Oftentimes, this spending is done out of guilt which is the lowest form of energy. An example of red zone spending would be the paying for everyones’ dinner at fancy restaurants without the aligned finances in place. Red zone spending is based in lower feelings associated with the ego. Another example would be the feeling of “needing” to buy a gift for someone out of obligation rather than true desire.

Ask yourself: What is the guilty feeling associated with this purchase? How do I make it so it is aligned with my value system Instead?

Be present to how you feel and how you can create shifts to become more aligned with your value system. In doing-so we begin to establish muscle memory. One muscle memory is created, we begin to live a life that is effortlessly guided through our value system. We enter the green zone!

Finals Thoughts

Wealth is living in a state of prosperity and mindfulness. These are exemplified by Amida’s 5 Pillars of Wealth. When the 5 pillars of wealth are in harmony, we experience wealth energy and abundance! Remember, green zone spending is aligned with our values – it is not based in the ego, but rather in the heart. It is aligned with who we are what we want to create, and supports our mission in this life. On the other hand, red zone spending is base in the energies of fear and guilt. Perhaps, next time you make a purchase… pause and reflect. What zone are you in? Live in wealth and abundance, embrace Green Zone spending.
