A
scarcity mindset is always going to leave you wondering where your rainbow is,
even if it’s right in front of you!
The good
news is, there are ways to reprogram your mind and get rid of those thoughts
that are holding you back from achieving everything you’ve ever dreamed of.
Here’s how to let go of the
scarcity mindset and what it really takes to create an abundance mentality!
Step 1: Take a good, hard look at your current beliefs.
Based on
our past experiences, all of us hold beliefs that we think to be true about
life.
The
problem is, sometimes the beliefs we have don’t exactly work in our favor.
Actually, they do more harm than good and prevent us from living the truly
amazing life.
There are
various reasons for this. Maybe you grew up around parents who were always
struggling to make ends meet or you lived in a neighborhood where it was hard
to find proof the good life exists.
Here are
some of the most common tricks that a scarcity mindset is playing upon you:
- Only the rich grow richer, the rest of us are destined to stay pretty much the same throughout the whole life.
- The economy’s bad right now.
- My family needs me, I can’t work and take care of them at the same time!
- Are you kidding me, what do I have to give to the world?!
Step 2: Watch the way you
think, talk, and act.
Ditching
the scarcity mindset won’t happen overnight, but it’s important to get started.
For
starters, pay attention to three things:
- The way you think. Be merciless when it comes to shooing away thoughts that stem from old beliefs and values!
- The way you talk. About yourself, your life, and your worth, because thoughts become actions!
- The way you act. Because in the end, actions matter more than words!
If you’re
struggling to do all of that, try this:
Imagine you have everything you’ve ever wanted.
Now, how does that person
think? How does she talk? What are her actions? What habits does she have? What
does she eat? What does she wear? What does she do when life doesn’t go
according to plan?
Then, think, talk, act the
same way that version of you would RIGHT NOW. Close the gap between where you
are and where you want to be through BEING her now.
Step 3: Gratitude, the most
powerful abundance hack!
Gratitude
is the single most powerful mindset hack that can truly change anyone’s life.
And it
only makes sense: how are you going to attract more of the good stuff if
you’re not grateful for what you already have? This is the Law of Vibration
at play.
A nice
way to introduce gratitude in your life is to finish each day with three
positive things… three things you’re grateful for that day. That sends the
message of not lacking, which in return, gives you even more things to
be grateful for.
It doesn’t matter how big or small those three things are.
On some days, the roof over your head, a warm meal, and a bed to sleep in are
going to be the only things you’re grateful for but that’s much, much better
than nurturing thoughts that only point out to what’s missing from your life!
Step 4: Let abundance into
all areas of your life!
Abundance
isn’t only material wealth. The abundance mindset applies to every single area
of your life: love, business, lifestyle, travel, free time, anything you want!
Anything
you can imagine, you can have.
Now, I’m
all about vision boards and affirmations — if that’s your thing — but remember,
they only work if you do the work too!
It’s
awesome if you’re crystal clear on the person you aspire to become, however,
it’s crucial to have a plan of action. How are you going to get to the point
where you want to be?
Make a plan, decide on your goals, and take action — that’s how you’re going to see real, tangible results!
