Acknowledge that you have been operating from a place of scarcity.

Before you can make a change, you have to acknowledge that the way you're thinking isn't serving you. So take a moment to consider how your current mindset is impacting your life. Are you constantly worrying about not having enough or feeling like there's never enough time? This is a sign that scarcity thinking has taken root in your life and it's time to make a change. Next, start by looking for the silver linings in your life. Even if things aren't going as planned or you're facing some difficult challenges, look for the positive aspects of each experience. This can help you shift from a mindset of lack and scarcity to one of abundance and possibility.

Make a list of all the things you are grateful for in your life.

Being mindful of all the blessings that we have in our lives is something to be incredibly grateful for. From the simple comforts, like having a home to live in and being surrounded by family or having access to food and transportation, to bigger things like meaningful job opportunities, friends and acquaintances that enrich our days, or the ability to pursue our passions; gratitude makes us recognize how lucky we are. Deciding to take a moment to acknowledge what we’re grateful for can make life just a bit more enjoyable even when it isn’t easy. Perhaps making an intentional list of what we appreciate would make this practice a daily habit.

Forgive yourself for any past mistakes or choices made from a place of scarcity.

Forgiveness is essential in life, and it is equally important to forgive yourself. Allowing yourself to release any feelings of guilt or anguish resulting from past mistakes can be a freeing experience. Understand that these past choices were often made from a place of scarcity and limitation, rather than true understanding and compassion. Make an effort to look at the situation from this perspective, recognizing that the choices were made with the best intentions of obtaining safety, security, and love. Offer yourself tenderness for trying your best in difficult situations and patiently move forward into greater wisdom and understanding. Learning to forgive yourself is an invaluable practice in self-love.

Shift your focus to what you want to create more of in your life (love, joy, peace, etc.) and take action steps towards those goals.

Our lives are made up of moments, and the best way to make the most of them is to set ourselves up for success by focusing on what we want to create in life. When we focus on creating more love, joy, peace, and whatever else brings us happiness and fulfillment, we are better equipped to take steps that bring us closer in line with our goals. Taking action towards those goals is such a rewarding feeling. We start to see positive changes happening around us when we take small steps like researching how to learn a language or practicing mindful breathing techniques. The sky’s the limit when it comes to shifting our focus toward what we want out of life—nothing can get in our way if we put in just a bit of effort and have an open mindset every step of the way.

Conclusion: 

Abundance is not about having more stuff, it's about having more love, joy, and peace in your life. If you want to create more abundance in your life, start by acknowledging any scarcity thinking that may be holding you back. Make a list of all the things you are grateful for and forgive yourself for past choices made from a place of scarcity. Shift your focus to what you want to create more of in your life and take action steps towards those goals. By making these changes, you will begin operating from a place of abundance which will lead to more success and happiness in your life.
