Abundance vs. Scarcity
For the last week, I've been asking myself if I've been functioning from a place of scarcity or abundance. With the idea being scarcity represents lack, ego, insecurity. Hearing positive news about someone or seeing others success and jumping to the negative self talk, the jealously, the doubt. While abundance is quite the opposite. Trusting yourself, your intuition, your intelligence. Trusting the universe is actively working for you rather than against you.
I've asked myself this question in all aspects of my life.
“When you are grateful, fear disappears and abundance appears.”
When I step on my yoga mat…
am I practicing with the intention of changing myself or with the intention of connecting deeper within? Am I holding attachment to how the shapes look rather than how they feel?
When I eat food…
am I focusing on avoiding and removing foods that are "unhealthy" or am I focusing on nourishment and joy and flavor and staying present in the experience of cooking and eating a home cooked meal? Am I letting myself indulge without guilt?
When I speak to friends…
am I listening to respond or am I listening to be present and learn?
When I look in the mirror…
am I pointing out my flaws and insecurities or am I showing grace and gratitude to the miracle that is a human body that has been a home to my soul for the past 26 years?
