About The Abundance Mindset
The abundance mindset is an antidote to a mindset of scarcity. Scarcity can lead to living out of fear as opposed to love and kindness. Feelings of scarcity are linked to dissatisfaction, anxiety, and lack of fulfillment regardless of what is actually happening or being accomplished. The goal of developing an abundance mindset isn’t to create magical happenings, but to instead decrease unnecessary worry and live a more joy filled life.
“ With a scarcity mindset, you believe that everything is limited. Time is limited. Money is limited. Love is limited. This causes you to worry about the future. You’re consciously or unconsciously more concerned with what might go wrong than with what could go right. You make fear-based decisions. You’re afraid of missing out. You’re afraid of not having enough. You have trouble with moderation and often exhibit “all or nothing” behavior.” https://www.getrichslowly.org/abundance-mindset/
