How often do you find yourself operating from a place of scarcity. The internal voice of scarcity sounds something like this; “There isn’t enough for me….I don’t have enough….Everyone else gets or accomplishes things and I don’t….I’ll never have enough.”?

“Scarcity Thinking” is a sure-fire way to keep us stuck. When we feel like we don’t have enough (or that we aren’t enough), we waste precious energy and time focusing on and worrying about what we lack. When we focus on the lack in our lives, we are torpedoed into more lack and more scarcity.

However, when we focus on our gifts, our strengths, our loving relationships, and all that we do have, we attracts more abundance, more richness, more fullness. If we can make it a practice to take stock of all that we are and all that we do have, we can harness those things as resources and tools to help us move forward happily and successfully in our lives.

Take Action!
Become more aware of the abundance in your life, and in doing so attract even MORE abundance into your life!

1)Make a list of EVERYTHING you have. This list can include (but is not limited to) friendships, close family relationships, skills, strengths, cherished pets, important life experiences and lessons, treasured possessions, educational or professional accomplishments, good habits. Remember to include on this list those essentials that we so easily forget: roof above our heads, heat, healthy food to eat, beautiful view out our window, health.

2)Review your abundance list and REALLY TAKE IT IN. Give yourself a few moments to really absorb everything that you have, acknowledge your riches, and give thanks for everything in your life.

3)Pick one item on your list that is an untapped resource for you. Choose one thing on your list that you could be using to your advantage, but don’t. It might be a skill or a certain professional relationship or a valuable piece of furniture that you could sell. How can this resource bring even more abundance into your life?

Looking ahead to the New Year and how you expect it to unfold, can be tempting to get absorbed in whatever is currently trending, or whatever is “doom-ing and gloom-ing” at the moment. After all, there’s plenty going on in the world, in celebrity lives, in the constant push of the media, to keep one engaged or preoccupied. Which is great, if such brings you joy. But if, on the contrary, you find you are living someone else’s life via trending, or depressed and distressed by

I have a new cell phone. I didn’t want a new cell phone; I was perfectly happy with my 2020 cell phone, but it wasn’t happy with me. Its connector charging port was ailing. Failing, actually, the service tech told me. And besides, it was an old phone, what did I expect? Old? This to a woman who is more than content, read “thrilled,” to wear outdated fashions just because she likes them. And would willingly keep computers way past their supposed “shelf life.” Sigh. OK, fine,
