what is an abundance mindset so you're telling me if i imagine receiving a lot all of a sudden
i will receive a lot an abundance mindset seems like something make believe am i really
supposed to trust that my mindset can change the very real situations in my everyday life
i've already survived so many losses and nothing changes what's the point of an abundance mindset
by the end of this video you are going to fully understand the purpose of having an
abundance mindset and how it could be helpful to your life in this very moment
so grab yourself a cup of tea stay tuned and let's talk about it
hello howell family i'm your host hc thank you for joining me on this episode of
tea with hc where we talk about issues that concern you on your journey to being true to you
in this episode we are discussing the purpose of an abundance mindset
in today's world the idea that thinking abundantly translates to living an abundant life
is very mystified because we don't quite understand the concept and because it is
often misinterpreted time and again the notion of an abundant mindset seems like nonsense from
disingenuous people or people who haven't been through a lot appearing as if they have
all of the answers however understanding and applying the actuality of an abundance mindset
can be the very thing that significantly changes your life for the better
simply put an abundance mindset supports the idea that the universe is a plentiful resource
therefore there is no shortage of opportunities for love relationships wealth and prospects
hence not because someone else has doesn't mean that you are doomed to have not and not
because someone has won at something in their lives doesn't mean that you have lost in yours
in contrast a scarcity mindset encourages a crab in a barrel mentality which is a way of thinking
best described by the phrase if i can't have it nobody can the metaphor is derived from a pattern
of behavior noted in crabs confined to a bucket while any one crab could easily escape the bucket
its efforts will be undermined by others ensuring the group's collective demise the correlation in
human behavior is this scarcity mindset where you would attempt to reduce and often even sabotage
the self-confidence and efforts of any member who achieves success beyond yourself out of resentment
spite or jealousy to help their progress because you believe that success is a finite and limited
supply a scarcity mindset halts curiosity and encourages fear thus restraining creation and
opportunity by limiting your thinking potential with negative thoughts where an abundant mentality
would create and see the very same circumstances from a different much more optimistic and
constructive perspective a scarcity mindset is likely to fight against itself with unproductive
thoughts and unfruitful actions always remember our lives become a product of what occupies our
mind the most because our thoughts become actions and our actions are the tools that shape our lives
therefore changing your perspective to an abundant one can consequently help us appreciate life in
all of its abundance i'll show you how an abundant mindset encourages a better version of you
by encouraging productivity and creation defeating self-sabotage encouraging humility
and overriding fear hopefully that i could enjoy this warm black tea
first an abundance mindset encourages productivity and creation an abundant mindset is associated
with productivity and creation because it is a mindset that continues to produce
despite the circumstances while a scarcity mindset focuses on what you don't have and areas of lack
abundant thinking is a state of mind that focuses on what you do have and how you can begin to
create and move forward with what is available in the now thus instead of being limited to
your circumstances you are open to possibility and therefore dedicated to finding the hidden gems in
your reality which will help you continue to move forward on your journey to achieving your goals
let's say you are a weightlifting athlete and because of certain circumstances
all gyms are closed down and you can't train with the weights
to achieve and maintain your ideal body weight as you always have
where a scarcity mindset would fold on itself begin to stress and complain which would
result in no training at all and the blaming of your life on circumstances outside of your control
an abundant mindset would adapt and identify opportunity
opportunity could mean finding things around the house to help you with your training
asking a friend or others dealing with this circumstance for assistance or maybe even
rearranging the setup of your house entirely so that you could seriously include calisthenics
trainings as a part of your routine towards the success of achieving your ideal body weight
as demonstrated with this example instead of limiting yourself to your environment
and perceived circumstance thinking abundantly would encourage you to create and continue to be
productive an abundant mentality uncaps your limit and encourages different possibilities
thus helping you become more fulfilled on your journey to being true to you
second thinking abundantly helps defeat self-sabotage when we believe that we don't have
or present a lack in a certain area of life it is common to follow up with thoughts of incompetence
uselessness and even thinking of ourselves as complete wastes thus encouraging self-sabotage
self-sabotage refers to behaviors or thought patterns that hold you back
and prevent you from doing things that you want to do or intend to do
for example let's say you finally conjured up the guts to speak to someone you've had a crush on for
a very long time you walk up to her and ask her out and you get rejected without an explanation
in this instance scarcity would encourage your mind to go into the gutter
and to think of yourself as a loser or of being incapable in the face of your objectives
this could then lead to you going down a path of thinking you are not good enough or even that
you will never be good enough for yourself or anyone else for that matter in contrast
thinking abundantly would encourage you to not only accept that there will be many
people to interact with in your lifetime but it will also encourage other optimistic ideas
ideas such as maybe it wasn't the right time for her maybe she was going through a situation that
would not be ideal for you at that time maybe you weren't ready maybe you need to brush up
on your communication skills so that you can do better next time maybe you need to
focus on working on you at this moment instead of having your mind led astray towards a relationship
as you can clearly see an abundance mindset jumps over self-sabotage by creating many
routes and possibilities to help improve your perspective work on your method of action
and continue to grow forward always remember the brain is a tool of repetition whatever
gets to it the most will likely rule it the brain isn't likely to resist the temptation to believe
something it is regularly presented with therefore if you continue to tell yourself that you are
incompetent incompetent you will likely become if you keep telling yourself you can't do something
and that you are not worth the accomplishments that you seek those accomplishments then become
impossible be careful of what you tell yourself third an abundant mindset encourages humility
thinking abundantly is the sister virtue of humility and they work perfectly together
where an abundant mindset encourages the possibility for more and for different
humility supports being open and curious enough to accept that new information when it is presented
instead of fighting the idea of change humility encourages improved understanding and thus the
opportunity of a wider scope of interpretation for the otherwise complex realities of life
an abundant mindset encourages humility because instead of stressing or being confused when a
blockade rises up on your road to fulfillment it assesses the situation accepted for what it is
and is open to learning how a perceived blockade can actually benefit and work to the advantage
of the journey to success with an abundant mindset you are aware of the infinite abundance of life
and you are therefore not worried about whosoever is filled with pride and with ego because you are
aware of your own skills and advantages on your journey to becoming the best version of you
this attitude encourages humility because you then have no problem learning from every walk of life
and any situation because in some way they are all there to help you become you
finally an abundance mindset overrides fear
always remember although danger can be very real and you should take your precautions accordingly
all of fear is based living in fear creates limits to your thoughts of potential positive
outcomes and thus creates limits to your reality and appreciates the quality of your experiences
when you are afraid of something you avoid going towards it not only because you submitted to the
belief that it may potentially be harmful but also because your mind believes that
it is a threat to what it already understands and what it is already comfortable with
in an attempt to protect you from change your mind closes itself off from the acceptance of
that new information and find comfort in remaining afraid and far away from the said information
for example let's say although you have never met one you are afraid of cowboys
because of all of the strange stories your parents have told you about them because of
this fear you refuse to interact with cowboys and you speak very poorly of them at every opportunity
because you want to encourage others to stay away from them just as you do because of this fear
not only have you never actually interacted with a cowboy you actively create negative narratives to
everything you hear about cowboys so that your mind could support the underlying fear
living in this way would stop you from appreciating and understanding a culture
and a people different than your own which would otherwise enhance your overall understanding of
life in contrast because an abundant mentality is curious and adaptable it would be open to
learning about the cowboys from an unbiased perspective and potentially grasp a lot of
things that could be beneficial for your life on your journey to becoming the best version of you
most people become comfortable with their fears and thus allow it to dictate their lives
and the way that they maneuver on a daily basis as said by rapper and business mogul 50 cent when
fear interrupts your routine or changes it in any way fear already has its hooks deep inside of you
an abundant mentality would encourage learning and thus shine a light on the darkness of ignorance
and lack of knowledge therefore promoting activity and prosperity always remember
your mind is both the guard and the prisoner you will only be as free as you allow yourself to be
to put it all together we can now assess that an abundance mindset has a significant purpose in
your life by encouraging productivity and creation defeating self-sabotage encouraging humility
and overriding fear we can now clearly see that thinking abundantly not only has a purpose
but is a necessary element to having a fulfilled and successful life what do you think about an
