Abundance.
What comes to mind when you hear that word?
For a long time, I thought of abundance as something outside me—something I had to chase, earn, or prove myself worthy of. But over the years, I’ve realized that abundance isn’t just about material wealth. It’s a way of being, a mindset, a deep trust in the flow of life.
At its core, an abundance mindset is about believing there is enough—enough love, opportunity, success, creativity, and yes, even money. It’s the opposite of scarcity, which tells us that resources are limited or that we must compete to have what we want.
But I didn’t always think this way.
Growing up with immigrant parents who came to America with nearly nothing, I was taught to “save everything” and “work hard, because money doesn’t grow on trees.” Their words came from love and their lived experience of struggle and sacrifice. But as a child, I internalized them in a way I didn’t fully understand. Somewhere along the way, I started believing that abundance—whether in money, love, or happiness—was something I had to work tirelessly for and that it wasn’t freely available to me.
And here’s the thing about scarcity thinking: it doesn’t just affect your bank account. It spills into every area of life. It shows up in relationships, self-worth, and how we dream (or don’t dream) about the future. It keeps us small, cautious, and afraid to ask for more.
The good news is we can rewrite these stories.
Over the years, I’ve learned to recognize when those old scarcity-based beliefs creep in and how to shift them to open myself up to more flow, trust, and ease.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in a pattern of lack—whether in finances, relationships, opportunities, or self-worth—here are five steps to help you shift your mindset and welcome abundance into your life:
1. Define What Abundance Means to You
Abundance isn’t just about money. It can be about love, time, joy, or opportunities. What does abundance truly mean for you? Get specific. The more precise you are, the easier it becomes to align with what you’re calling in.
2. Understand Your Beliefs About Abundance
What emotions come up when you think about the area of your life where you want more abundance? Are there past experiences that have shaped your current mindset? Identifying these beliefs is key to shifting them.
3. Get Clear on What to Do with Your Abundance
Once you receive abundance, what will you do with it? Will you invest, share, create? Knowing your deeper purpose behind abundance allows you to magnetize it with greater intention.
4. Assess Where You Currently Experience Abundance
Abundance is already present in your life—you just have to notice it. Look at areas where you already feel supported, whether it’s through relationships, skills, or personal growth. The more you acknowledge your existing abundance, the more you invite in.
5. Take Action to Invest in the Abundance You Desire
Shifting into an abundance mindset requires action. What steps can you take today to amplify abundance in your life? Maybe it’s investing in personal development, changing a habit, or practicing gratitude. Small shifts create big results.
If you’re ready to go deeper, I created The Abundance Mindset Workbook & Guide—a resource designed to help you shift your perspective, release limiting beliefs, and invite more prosperity into your life.
