Our thoughts and feelings will always seek to be validated. When strong internal feeling and emotions arise, we often look to external sources to have them validated. Because we are conditioned to want to be right, even if the emotion is painful or brings trouble, we have a desire to want to feel like we're right about it.
We have a tendency to surround ourselves with people, media, music who re-affirm our beliefs.
If you have a scarcity mindset about anything (health, finances, spirituality, etc) you will find sources to reaffirm why you should feel that way.
If you have an abundant mindset about the same things, you will find sources to reaffirm why you should feel that way.
It sounds easy on paper. If you want to be more abundant, you have to allow yourself to first see the abundance in nature. You have to believe there are more opportunities for you to tap into those frequencies.
More often than not, when we have a scarcity mindset about a particular issue in our life, we hold it very tight to the chest. We don't particularly enjoy talking about it, and we can be hard-headed in seeking help, because we have labeled it as embarrassing or shameful.
When we have an abundant mindset, we are much more open to conversations. We want to connect, we want to share, we want to help, and we may even seek more help because it is a driving force in the right direction.
The challenge here is to look at your labels:
What in your life can be embarrassing or shameful to talk about? Do you like when those emotions get stirred up?
Do you ever ask for help or seek help on problems where you have a scarcity mindset?
Can you see the other side of the coin where you may know people who are abundant in ways that you may want to be, and they are scarce in ways that you are abundant?
Do you think if you allowed yourself to remove the stigma around your scarce mindset framework that you could shift your perspective?
