When you find yourself repeating unhelpful patterns, do the opposite of what you want to do. This advice might sound like it goes against so much of our programming. We’re always told “be yourself” and “trust your gut.” And those things are still true! But sometimes, our body wants to take the path of least resistance, even if it won’t help us grow.
With the birth of my child approaching, I’ve been thinking a lot about abundance and trying to cultivate as much abundance as possible. As a business owner, the thoughts of “how am I going to continue growing me business and a child!?” definitely come up regularly. I’m sure you have your own limiting beliefs that bring that scarcity mindset into play.
As one example of a way to break the pattern, I recently hopped off of a call and felt that sense of lack closing in. When I’ve felt this in the past, I’ve doubled down on work! But this time, I asked myself “what would abundant Yanet do?” And that led me to an unplanned coffee date with a friend that put me back in giving mode versus receiving. It’s not always our first instincts that are the most expansive. So I hope you walk away from this episode feeling encouraged to challenge yourself next time you slip into a scarcity mindset!
