Many different factors can sabotage our success in life. However, all of us attract failure ourselves because of our negative thinking and worrying. Our mindset has a great impact on our success in all aspects of our lives. To have an abundant and fulfilling life, you have to create an abundance mindset.
Most people are struggling in life because they have a scarcity mindset. To such people, there’s only so much you can get in life, as though someone getting more would reduce what everyone else can get. They feel that there are limited opportunities in life, which creates a lot of unnecessary fear and limited beliefs. The great news is, it is not hard to actually change from a scarcity mindset to a mire abundant filled life...
So how do you know that you lack an abundance mindset and still stuck in scarcity? It is hard for someone with a scarcity mindset to share what they have; such as power, recognition, money, and other resources, even when they have it in abundance. It’s also hard for them to be sincerely happy for the accomplishments of other people. We normally develop this scarcity mindset from those around us like our parents, friends, colleagues, and society. Can you remember being told that well-paying jobs are scarce and you have to get the best grades for you to beat the competition? Our scarcity mindset can block us from achieving our full potential in life. Only a few people manage to rise above such self-limiting beliefs. To have a more fulfilling life, you need to create an abundance mindset...
'What is an abundance mindset?'
People with an abundance personality know that there is plenty out there for everyone. They have a dipper inner sense of security and, therefore, don’t find it hard to share what they have with other people. When you live in a world of abundance, you stop competing for available resources and become open to new opportunities. With such a mindset, you will relieve yourself of much pressure and anxiety in life. Anxiety can create inactivity, stagnate our creativity, and reduce our productivity. Most wealthy people have accumulated their wealth over time because of having an abundant money mindset. So, how can one develop an abundance mindset and manifest more abundance in their life? I’m going to walk you through how to create an abundance mindset and attract a wealthy and fulfilling life through 5 simple steps...
1. VISUALIZATION
Visualization is a simple but powerful step to creating an abundance mindset. Creating the outcomes, we desire in life first begins with what we create in our minds. This is because the brain is a powerful tool and controls our habits. Picture the kind of life you desire in detail, such as the car you would want to drive, the clothes you would want to wear the trips you would want to make, etc. When you picture your life as abundant, you will always be seeing opportunities and not roadblocks and challenges. You will notice that your thinking, habits, language, focus will change. When we feed our mind a vision, and feel associated with it emotions - our brain believes that it already happening. Make a conscious effort to visualize your life as abundant, and you will begin getting amazing results in all areas of your life.
2. GRATITUDE
The next important step to creating an abundance mentality is to acknowledge and appreciate what you already have. Consider keeping a gratitude journal. Every day, list down all the things that you are thankful for in your life, big or small. Spend time in reflection and write down a list of what you are grateful for on a daily basis. Appreciate your family, friends, food, clothes, house, and so on. Gratitude helps to get rid of the feeling of scarcity that keeps you from achieving abundance. It will help you turn your feelings of lack and anxiety into more positive ones. Even though sometimes life may not go as you wish, being grateful puts you in the right state of mind to take positive actions towards your goals. You will open your eyes to new opportunities and focus on abundance.
3. GIVE BACK
People with a scarcity mindset usually have trouble embracing the concept of giving. Another way to create an abundance mindset is to share your wealth with other people. This does not only mean money, but also love, appreciation, time, and other resources. For instance, if you have some extra clothes, you can give a few to those without. If you have some extra time, you can volunteer in a nearby animal shelter or care home. Giving will help you acknowledge what you have and give you a sense of goodwill and gratification. By giving more, you will be able to revert the feeling of scarcity and build a feeling of abundance. The fact is that, no matter how little you think you have, there is always someone with much less than what you have and would be happier being in your current position.
4. FOCUS ON WHAT’S POSSIBLE
To develop an abundance mindset, you need to stop thinking, “I can’t” and focus on what you can do. You can’t control everything, but you can do what is within your powers to achieve what you desire in life. What opportunities do you have that you can make use of? What resources do you have access to that can help you make a step toward your goals? What skills and positive qualities do you have that you use to make a positive impact on society? Don’t let your old failures make you lose confidence in yourself. They are the past. Believe in yourself and focus on the important issues that will ensure your success. Don’t make any excuses either. They won’t make you feel any better or help you create your dream life. If you focus on improving your ability to create value for people around you, you will be able to earn an unlimited amount of money.
5. SURROUND YOURSELF WITH POSITIVE PEOPLE
Mindsets are usually contagious. Therefore, be careful with the company you keep. If you want to create an abundance mindset and maintain it, you should limit your time with a scarcity vibe. Surround yourself with people who have an abundance mindset. Spend more time with people that appreciate what they have, give more, and work hard towards their goals. Create an environment of abundance around you. Also, be sure to watch, listen to, and read personal development material and success stories or biographies of millionaires and people of success. You will learn how successful people think and develop their habits.
