Time To Recconnect With Abundance

If you weren’t aware of scarcity and abundance mindsets before you started your business, you probably are now!  That was one of my first lessons in business.  I’d honestly never heard of scarcity and abundance mindsets before, but I recognized it in my life immediately.  I’d spent my entire life feeling like there wasn’t enough.  I went from spending most of my time in scarcity, with occasional glimpses into abundance beliefs, to now spending most of my time in abundance, with occasional falls into scarcity.  Yesterday was one of those falls into scarcity, and this morning was a chance to pull myself back out.  I’d love to share with you how I recognize, and adjust what type of mindset I am having.

It’s not just about money

Scarcity is not just about money.  It’s about time, relationships, love of self, connection with Diety, and even health.  Scarcity doesn’t always creep in through the money door.  Yesterday for me it started with time.  I am getting ready to go out of town, we are not packed or ready and I have a lot of business related tasks to do before we go.  Then I started thinking about how little time we have before we move and not being ready for that.  Then I started feeling like I didn’t have enough help.  Then I started worrying about our sales and the cost of moving.  Before I knew it I was stressed, bummed, and in full on scarcity.  Notice how money was the last thing that came in this downward spiral?  Usually when I am feeling scarce about money it started somewhere else.  In this case, it was time and support.  Those two things needed to be addressed before I could shift how I felt about money.  Next time you feel scarcity creep in, track the downward spiral.  Where did it start?  Address that first and you will find, the money part adjusts pretty quickly.

Look for evidence of abundance

Evidence of scarcity is everywhere.  It’s in the news, it’s in conversation with your friends, family and team members.  I don’t have to look for it, it seems to hunt me down wanting to pull me back into the starving flock fighting for the few specks of grass that are left behind.

Abundance is everywhere as well, but it isn’t as loud.  It is a quiet reminder that there is enough.  I look to nature to remind me that this world was created out of abundance.  This morning, I looked out my window and started looking at each individual leaf on my neighbor’s tree.  Then I looked at all the other trees I can see on my street and then looked beyond to the mountains around my house and imagined all of the trees there.  No one knows how many leaves are in the world.  In fact most quantities in nature are abundant.  Blades of grass, sand, water molecules, flowers, ants… I could go on and on.  Look for abundance.  Love and money come through people.  They are everywhere.  Go to a busy place and just look at all of the opportunity that is around you on a daily basis.

Abundance flows when spiritual connection flows

Whenever I slip into scarcity, I track back my thoughts and emotions and they almost always lead to the same start.  I unplugged from my Source.  Sometimes it is a little unplug, like being repetitive and thoughtless with my prayers.  Sometimes it is a larger disconnect and something in how I am living my life is out of harmony with my belief system.  But I know that when I am spiritually connected, I feel loved and at peace.  When that connection is low, I feel stressed and unsupported.  Those emotions are like the perfect food for scarcity.

I encourage you to take some time this week and determine where you are at.  Start looking for abundance everywhere you go!  Go deeper with your spiritual connection so you can tap into the source for all abundance!  Share your success stories with us on our Facebook page!  We would love to hear from you!
