Money is consistently a top source of stress for Americans, rising to the top of the Stressors in America list put out annually by the American Psychological Association. A survey last year by CreditWise confirmed it—73% of Americans say finances are their No. 1 cause of stress.

If you are feeling the pinch, you’re clearly not alone. Fortunately, Elevate Wisconsin, a free financial resource for all North Shore Bank employees, offers an 8-week Money Mindfulness program to empower you with the benefits of mindfulness to reduce your emotional responses to money concerns. 

Each week focuses on ways mindfulness can help you minimize financial stress, including building critical coping skills, promoting a foundation of healthy financial habits, and creating a better relationship with your finances. Building a mindfulness practice might be just what you need to understand the role emotions play in your relationship with money, cultivate mindful spending habits, and change your outlook for the better.
