What is a Scarcity Mentality
What is a scarcity mentality?
It is simply the psychological state where thoughts of rivalry originate. If you know that there is not enough of something to go around, you will attempt to rush to take something from somebody else.
It may be hard for you to believe that rivalry is wrong as it is such a highly valued trait in our society. It feels like every politician or other well paid employee thinks that solely by competition you get what you need.
But that’s why they're employees. They don't realize that by not participating in competition they'd become independent and free, even as their natural state ought to be.
When you recognize that competition is wrong and quit trying to gain something at other people’s expense, you step by step fall into the abundance mentality. You begin to recognize that you are able to get everything you think of, and this assures you that there will constantly be more than enough of everything for everybody.
However what if you still are in scarcity mentality, and don’t know how to get out of it? You'll need to introduce a positive affirmation in your daily life. It may sound like this one: "I see abundance everywhere". Or it may be put in this way: "There are more than enough resources in the world for everyone" Whichever attracts you more.
You will also need to train your eyes not to see what you don’t wish to come up in your life. If you wish to eliminate the thoughts of scarcity, direct your care to the manifestations of abundance. Look at lush nature, deluxe cars, singing morning birds, positive and wealthy individuals, royal buildings, whatsoever you affiliate with abundance.
There are a lot of wealth symbols to choose from, it simply depends which symbols constitute riches to you. I may view nature and see the pure proof of abundance on this Earth; yet other people may see abundance symbols by viewing new gadgets and lavish clothes.
When you train your eyes to center on such symbols, you'll begin the originative process in you. Your thinking will absolutely shift as you no longer see poverty manifestations. By always looking at wealth symbols you'll develop desire to become abundant.
As now you easily center on abundance, you'll have no difficulty in producing thoughts of abundance. These thoughts will manifest in your life bringing in everything you deeply thought about.
An abundance mentality tells you that there are constantly new chances and opportunities. This frees much of the pressure you may feel if you have a scarcity mentality that makes you believe that you only got this shot right now. Or makes you feel like a perfect failure simply because you just bumbled and things didn’t work out.
An abundance mentality lets you see life in a more long-run perspective. And it may help you better your performance as with it you’re producing a lot less pressure and anxieties inside your own brain.
If you have a scarcity mentality then you probably take things a bit too seriously. You may think: "If I fail, the sky will fall". It probably won’t, but because you believe it will, you will become excessively nervous and you’ve produced a self-fulfilling prophecy of failure as your inner, self-created negativity puts obstructions on your path to success.
Hopefully this not only answers your question "what is a scarcity mentality" but also allows you to open your eyes and take on the abundance mindset.

Rid Your Mind of Negativity
How can you Rid Your Mind of Negativity, when you bombard your senses with all this negativity on a daily basis. You'll get a dose of negativity each time you listen to the news on the radio, even those short briefs every hour. Then, add in each news magazine and journal you read each month. Now, include the television news you watch — don’t forget the noon news, the nightly news, and the end of the day news programs, each are at least 30 minutes in length. Do you really need to see and hear all this news?
Choose one form, once a day, and eliminate all the rest. For instance, only the nightly news that gives a brief accounting without all the details. The addition of images and brief interviews are like a picture — they are worth a thousand words. You get more in less time, without going in depth. You’re also getting the headlines, which concerns you the most. You don’t have to know about every problem across the world, in your state, city and neighborhood, or every little gruesome detail about a local murder.
Other Negative Sources. What type of books and magazines do you read? What type of movies and videos do you watch? Do you play electronic/Internet games? What television shows do you watch? Constantly reading and seeing violent media adds additional negativity. Consider this: you love the forensic and justice television shows — NCIS; all the CSI shows; all the Law and Order shows; the forensic shows on the Discovery channel, the History channel, and the Arts & Entertainment channel; NUMB3RS; and Bones. This is just a portion of the forensic and justice shows on the television schedule this season. If you’re watching them all or even a good portion of them, look at all the negative you’re putting into your mind.
Like the news, you don’t have to get rid of all of them. You could, for instance, choose to watch NCIS, the one CSI show you like the best, and NUMB3RS. Replace the other shows with positive, uplifting shows, or spend more time doing other activities. Also, be aware of the negativity given off by the ―reality‖ shows.
To what music do you listen?
How much alcohol and medication (or other drugs) do you ingest? How much caffeine do you intake? What type of things do you have in your home? On your walls? In your office? On your office desk? Do these things and activities energize you? Do they soothe you? Are your habits healthy? If your answer is no, then they are adding negative energy into you mind and body, contributing to stress and negative feelings. Again, replace what is negative with positive alternatives These are all trade-offs you make for a better and more positive life.
Doing all of this will help to Rid Your Mind of Negativity and you'll become a more positive and successful person.

Stop Self-Defeating And Self-Sabotaging Behavior
8 Tips to Help Stop Self Defeating and Self Sabotaging Behavior
Are you engaged in self-defeating and self-saboatging behavior? Do you tend to end up with a mess when things started out so well? I am a big believer in the idea that every action we take is done for reason.
1. What is your payoff?
What is it that you really get from self-defeating behaviors and self sabotaging attitudes? Is it negative attention? A reason to go back to being miserable and avoiding change? Ask yourself What is REALLY going on here?
2. Avoid situations that trigger extreme emotional reactions.
Most people relapse back into old destructive patterns because of their inability to handle emotional stress. Extreme emotional reactions can provoke a drug or alcohol relapse. If you can't avoid this situation, at least try to get a realistic perspective on it. Ask yourself How important is it really?
3. Take a look at your past.
Just don't get stuck there. Try to identify where your belief system came from. Once you have identified where those defeating attitudes came from, let go of them. It is OK to acknowledge the past, but not to use it as an excuse to continue your behavior into the present.
4. Challenge staying in the victim role.
Again, in recognizing the past, we're not denying that bad things have happened to you. Try reclaiming your personal power by reframing your experiences as a source of strength. Not everyone has gone through what you have and survived. The process of personal growth is about regaining self empowerment.
5. Stop blaming people.
Being the victim and blaming others, results in one particular sneaky, self destructive attitude. That is the attitude of not needing to change. Self improvement is all about change, but, if everything is always somebody else's fault, why do I need to change? In the victim role, it is poor me, look what they have done to me, I couldn't stop it from happening. Therefore, I will be a perpetual victim and take no action.
6. First thought wrong.
Man, do I hate this one. People who have a habit of self sabotaging have got to come to accept that they are never upset for the reasons that first come to mind. First thought wrong. We need to look at the underlying issues, again, ask the question 'Whats really going on here?' Sometimes we will take those negative thoughts and try to make them come true by doing something really destructive. We create a self-fulfilling prophesy.
7. We need to change the thoughts we have about ourselves.
Stop the negative self talk. Start thoroughly and rigorously questioning where your beliefs and perceptions are coming from. Don't judge yourself as you're doing this, become willing to let go of those negative thoughts. Stop defending your right to be wrong.
8. Are you done suffering yet?
Just as this question is a key motivator to move into personal change and regain your self esteem, this question is a prime motivator to start changing our self-defeating attitudes and actions. Nothing changes if nothing changes. How much longer are you willing to keep stepping on your own feet, tripping and falling down? Maybe, just maybe, it's time to stop the pain.
Addictive relationships are no fun, but sometimes a fact of life. Are your life relationships not going well? The good news is at least you are looking for some information and help on healing those dysfunctional relationships. Visit: http://addictionrecoverybasics.com/
