Time, money, energy, security, resources, opportunities—have you ever felt like there wasn’t enough?
When we are operating from a scarcity mindset, we see the world through a lens of “not enough.” Scarcity thinking is rooted in fear and keeps us focused on what we lack. Focusing on a lack of anything can send our nervous system into a state of stress and anxiety. When we believe resources are limited, it’s easy to feel envious of anyone who has “more,” and to view others’ successes as a threat to our own. Competition, hoarding, and comparison stem from this fear that what we think we need is always just out of reach.
Scarcity thinking is prevalent and perpetuated by our culture in many ways. Just think of all the ways we are urged to do more, be more, and accumulate more. This mindset leads us to believe that once we get to a particular place or have a certain possession, then we will feel like we are enough. But we can do the things, be the things, and acquire the things, and still, the chasing feeling never goes away.
With all of the pressures of social comparison and ideals presented to us, it’s easy to feel like we’re failing or falling short in one area or another—like we aren’t where we should be or could be. Many people are living with this undercurrent of worry and feeling like they cannot ever catch up to what really matters. So many of us are disconnected from this inner knowing that if we look around us and within ourselves, we will find what we need—that there is always enough, and we are enough as we are.
