The ‘not-enough’ mindset believes there is not enough to go around
Not enough…
- Money
- Time
- Food
- Energy
- Attention
- Readers
- Friends
- Spotlight
- Praise
- Etcetera
‘Not-enough’ mindset says if they have some, there must be less in the world for me
Scarcity mindset also believes things need to be ‘right’ to be acceptable and it puts us in a victim mentality.
In contrast to the scarcity mindset is the abundance mindset
Here are some ways to see when a scarcity mindset is taking place of an abundance mindset.
- Feeling jealousy/comparison vs celebrating others and yourself
- Feeling worry/fixation vs being present and peaceful
- Getting overwhelmed/burnt out vs managing your energy and making time for rest
- Hustling/Hoarding vs setting healthy boundaries and limits for yourself
- Complaining/Gossiping vs having an open mind and speaking positively
- Feeling discontented/frustrated vs acknowledging where you are growing and moving forward
What an abundance mindset offers
I am enough.
There is enough.
If I don’t get this—it wasn’t for me.
Life happens for me not against me.
Abundance mindset allows us to see our present life with gratitude, to trust in ourselves, and to bring peace into our relationships.
