Your scarcity mentality can change.
A scarcity mentality is a matter of perspective. It’s a choice rather than a description of reality.
And a scarcity mentality limits you in ways that you can reframe for yourself. The power lies kin your hands.
The bottom line is that this is a worldview that’s a trap.
And it’s a trap that needn’t snare you. Here are 3 tips to help you free yourself, starting today.
1. ACCEPT that time is limited.
It is a paradox that making abundant time choices begins with fully accepting that time is finite.
It’s tempting to try to squeeze just a little more into your day than you can comfortably fit. When you do that, it keeps you stuck on the treadmill, chasing after opportunities that are always just out of reach. You set yourself up to be disappointed and over-extended daily.
So don’t stop at accepting. Embrace reality. It’s where your power truly lies.
2. CREATE clear priorities.
Once you fully grasp the nature of time’s limits, you see how vital it is to set clear priorities.
Creating a hierarchy of priorities is a cornerstone of developing an abundance mentality.
You develop the foundational skill of distinguishing your wants from your needs, which makes it easier to simplify your life without feeling deprived. When you truly accept that letting go is essential, your resistance to making tough decisions will evaporate, giving way to inner contentment.
You experience firsthand how simplifying your schedule to fit the 24 hours in a day empowers you to step off the treadmill. And the more you experience your personal power through wise time choices, the less you look outside yourself. That is when your own inner abundance really shines.
3. BE gratitude.
This dramatic shift in consciousness generates instant fulfillment.
Only when you experience how gratitude transforms your approach to life will you possess everything you need to live with joy.
And that is abundance.
As you simplify your schedule and set aside time to look within, notice how you can more easily make healthy decisions for yourself. Positive builds on positive, and your circle of appreciation grows.
Try writing down 3 things you are grateful for every night, and note how the choices you make contribute to these blessings in your life.
Scarcity Mentality: Transforming It
Moving from scarcity time to abundant time is a journey. Some rewards are immediate. Others come more slowly. Nightly rituals like writing down 3 gratitudes carry a triple benefit:
-
- They enhance your awareness in the moment,
- They help you identify the time choices that truly bring joy to your life, and
- They enable you to trace and validate your progress.
By transitioning from the illusion of the scarcity mentality to the reality of inner abundance, you enter a flow. Your creativity has fertile ground to flower, and you feel freer to experiment. And as you expand and deepen, mistakes reveal themselves to be the lessons they always were.
