The Psychology of Abundance: Shifting from Scarcity to Possibility

What if your thoughts, choices, and emotions were shaped more by “FOMO” (Fear Of Missing Out) than you realised? Many people live in subtle fear of not being or doing enough. This mindset isn’t a personal failing; it’s often rooted in stress and long-standing self-beliefs.

Scarcity thinking can sound like:

• “If I slow down, I’ll fall behind.”

• “There’s never enough time.”

• “I should be doing more.”

• “I’m only as good as my next achievement.”

Over time, these beliefs may lead to anxiety and burnout and can feel like a life lived on autopilot.

Encouraging authentic connection with yourself is about cultivating:

• A sense of inner safety and worth

• Permission to rest

• Space to choose rather than react

• Trust that you can meet life with flexibility and purpose

This Work Matters because it can allow you to:

• Make clearer, more empowered choices

• Stop measuring your value by output

• Reconnect with creativity, connection, and joy

• Build a life that feels expansive, rather than exhausting
