180. Change Your Relationship with Scarcity

The Mindful Healers Podcast with Dr. Jessie Mahoney and Dr. Ni-Cheng Liang

When you focus on the time you don't have, you feel rushed and anxious.

When you focus on the energy you don't have, you feel overwhelmed.

When you focus on the resources you don't have, you feel stressed and not valued. When you focus on the potential lack of opportunities or good outcomes you feel tight, anxious, and stuck.

When you ask how am I resourced? You feel resourced. You start to notice different things and feel differently.

How do you begin to change your relationship with scarcity?

1. Notice what you have rather than what you don’t have. In particular what you have that you always wanted.

2. Pause and be present with the resources you have.

3. Slow down enough to notice your relationship with scarcity-- especially how it impacts your decisions. How many of your decisions do you make from fear, anxiety, or not enoughness?

4. Upregulate your parasympathetic nervous system, practice mindfulness, and grow calm.

When we look at life through a scarcity mindset we are not empowered. We move through life in fear. We are not creative or curious.

Coaching helps you retrain your brain to:

• notice the resources you have
• appreciate them
• utilize them
• optimize them
• and ultimately, create and grow more of them

It takes time to retrain your mind.

A scarcity mindset, in particular, is deeply rooted, sticky, and hard to let go of.

To effectively change longterm, you have to be patient-- and allow time to change.

We work through skills and brain and nervous system retraining over 5 months or 5 days. Join me for Ongoing Presence, Transition Well, 1:1 Coaching, or a retreat.
