5 Steps to Develop an Abundance Mindset

Do you want an abundant, happy, and fulfilling life? All you have to do is change your thinking process of limiting beliefs into an abundance mindset! ANYONE can successfully access an abundance mindset and achieve whatever they deeply want and believe they deserve. In this post, discover 5 steps to develop an abundance mindset and change your life!

What is an abundance mindset?

Manifesting what you want seems easier said than done BUT it really isn’t. We have been conditioned to believe that there aren’t enough resources for everyone to enjoy and/or that we need an advanced education or a college degree to make it in life, however, that is NOT the key to abundance. The key to abundance is having an abundant mindset. EVERYONE has the opportunity to see the abundance around them and realize that any goal is attainable. You just have to change your way of thinking and be open to receiving. Acquiring an abundance mindset will allow you to see and access all the wealth that is available to you and bring into fruition all your desires!

Types of Mindsets

There are two types of mindsets: a scarcity mindset and an abundance mindset. A scarcity mindset focuses on what you don’t have and limiting your beliefs. Meanwhile, an abundance mindset creates opportunities and believes that there are MORE than enough resources for everyone to benefit from.

Scarcity Mindset

When you have a scarcity mindset, you are absorbed with what is missing in your life; a scarcity mind believes that there is never enough. If you have this mindset, you tend to be busy worrying which stops you from accessing the joys of life. You may wake up in the morning thinking you didn’t have enough sleep or won’t have enough time to accomplish all the things you want to do that day. No matter what it is, a scarcity mind is set on acknowledging what is NOT available rather than what IS. If you have a scarcity mindset, you also focus on limitations and manifest obstacles that can seriously limit your success. When you limit yourself with your beliefs and actions, you are not open to receive or recognize the abundance that surrounds you; YOU block your blessings!

Abundance Mindset

On the other hand, is an abundance mindset. When you have an abundance mindset you know that there is MORE than enough in this world for everyone to receive. You let go of negative feelings like jealousy, envy, or pity for yourself and take matters into your own hands. You move from being a victim to a leader. Also, you don’t focus on limitations because you recognize the good things that are already present in your life and set your intentions to manifest more of the same. With an abundance mindset, you get up thinking that you will accomplish all you want for that day AND still have time to decompress and rest. You understand that it’s about what is available in the present moment.

Step 1: Learn to Receive

The biggest reason that blocks many of us from receiving the abundance that exists in the world is a deep belief that we are not worthy of it. Ask yourself, how do you behave when someone compliments you on your skills or how you look? Do you have the tendency to find an excuse? Or maybe you change the subject. People with an abundance mindset are not afraid to say thank you when somebody gives them a compliment. If you want to start receiving the abundance, start with a simple thank you.

Accept Compliments

If you are uncomfortable with receiving compliments from others, you’re demonstrating that receiving is difficult for you. This can automatically lead you to more scarcity. Try to reflect on how you behave when someone compliments you on your skills. Do you try to find excuses for why you are not that great? If you want to be more open to receive and attract more wealth, start by saying thank you when someone recognizes your value.

Ask for Help

In order to bring more abundance into your life, you need to be open to receive. This includes receiving help from others. If it is difficult for you to say “yes” to someone who offers you help, you are telling the universe that you are not deserving of receiving from others. The same applies if you have a hard time asking for help. That is often a surprise to many that showing independence in our life can lead to blocking the flow of abundance.

Step 2: Find What You Love

In order to have an abundant life, you need to figure out what it is that you love doing. Many times, we try to do something that others do, simply because they are successful. The more you align with what YOU love doing, the more abundance you will attract into your life. If you are trying to be someone else, you will block the flow of abundance because you are not in the heart space, but in the mind space. If someone succeeds at something, it isn’t because of what they do, but because of who they are.

Take Accountability

Do you feel like life isn’t fair? Maybe you feel that a lot of the unfortunate situations you have experienced are not your fault but someone else’s. It is basically giving up on your power and leaving all control of your life to external factors like another person. When you give up on your power, it leads you to hopelessness and the inability to change your situation. One of the most common behaviors in people with an abundance mindset is their ability to take responsibility and do something to change their situation. If you don’t acknowledge your responsibility in your life, you are unable to feel empowered to do something about improving your life. Basically, own up to your mistakes and take action on improving yourself.

Step 3: Feel What You Want

It is not only important to identify what you want but it is more important to feel what you want. Again, the more you align with what you love doing, the more good feelings you have which leads to more attraction in your life.

Don’t Envy Others

When you live with a scarcity mindset, you tend to experience feelings of jealousy and envy. You may catch yourself looking at others and wondering why you can’t have what they have. One of the thoughts you may have is wondering why everyone else has what you want and not you. Envy is a feeling that attracts scarcity because you focus on what you don’t have which attracts more of the same. It can also lead to resentment toward some people and ruin relationships with friends and families.

Step 4: Appreciate What You Have

A simple step to abundance is to start recognizing how rich your life already is. Take time to appreciate what you have in your life. Maybe it is health, people you love, your colleagues, skills, or the simple beauty of nature that surrounds you every day. The more you bring your mind into a space of appreciation and recognition, the more you allow positive manifestation. You will find yourself realizing how abundant your life is and that all you need!

Stop Focusing on What You Don’t Have

A common mistake is to place all your attention and energy on what is missing in your life. To live an abundant life, put more energy into what you want to manifest. By switching your thoughts to be more directed toward what you want, you are painting a clear picture of what it is that you desire; by doing so, it is easier to attract what you seek. Do you find yourself listing things that you are missing in your life? Do you sometimes wonder why you don’t have what you want? Are you the type of person that is always focused on getting more? If you answered yes to any of those questions, that is your cue to make a change!

Stop Living in the Past

To dwell on the past means that you spend a lot of your precious energy thinking about things that are no longer relevant. This behavior leaves you with little energy to manifest what you presently want in your life. If you want to change or accept your past, you have to make the choice to bring your focus back to what you can do now to feel happier. If you want to have a more fulfilling life, ask yourself, what choice you can make right now to help you access more abundance, and what good do you have going on in your life now? People with an abundance mindset don’t delay living a happy life based on something they will get later. Find joy in the present and live in the moment!

Step 5: Accomplish Small Actions

Abundance doesn’t happen overnight. Most people who live an abundant life will tell you that they work at it every day. On a daily basis, they are accomplishing small actions that align them with what they want in life. For example, if what you want is more money, each day, you can make small deposits in a saving account. Five dollars a day will become $150 at the end of the month and $1,825 at the end of the year. If, on the other hand, you want more love in your life, start with self-love.

Choose Your Words Wisely

Your vocabulary says a lot about your mindset. If you have a scarcity mindset you tend to use many limiting words such as “can’t,” “won’t,” or “don’t.” These words have the tendency to nourish a deep belief that you don’t have enough and will never be able to access what you want in life. To shift to a more abundant life, pay attention to the words you use. Catch yourself using words that set limiting beliefs and replace them with words that empower you to do something about the situation.

Final Thoughts

Living an abundant life is available to EVERYONE on this Earth but it all depends on your mindset. By applying everything I mentioned, you will increase your ability to access the abundance that surrounds you and also allow you to manifest whatever it is you desire.

    Thank you for this. Great points on taking accountability and appreciating what you have. And I’m going to try to not use those negative words with my 7-year-old daughter. She has a strong personality/is strong-willed but lacks confidence. Every day, I’m trying to teach her how to be more confident and believe in herself. word’s like ‘won’t’ and ‘can’t’ come out of her mouth (and mine) often.
