How to develop an abundant mindset
Proactive instead of reactive
Be proactive instead of reacting to an event. You see farther down the path than others so you are more prepared for those inevitable pitfalls.
Pat attention to your thoughts
How are you thinking of a problem in your life? We have 60,000 thoughts a day and many of those, if we don’t pay attention to them, will try to bring us to a scarcity mindset. So pay attention to what you are thinking. Using mindfulness meditation can help greatly in this department.
Ask yourself if that thought is coming from fear and scarcity or a place of plenty
How are you approaching a problem? Is it through fear? Change how you think and your mindset will shift drastically
Try to think bigger
Stop thinking about just the next step look bigger. Do you want your own business or do you want a business that makes 100 million a year?
Focus on what is going right instead of what is going wrong
IF you fail, don’t try it again. Try something different. Find what is working and don’t obsess over what is not working.
Offer words of appreciation
Give thanks and give it often. Gratitude is an eternal wellspring of optimism that will help not only you but those whose lives you touch.
