Want to know how to develop an abundance mindset? Here are the top 10 tips to develop an abundance mindset.
Are you someone with an abundant mindset, an optimist who is genuinly happy for others when they achieve success?
Or are you someone with a scarcity mentality, someone who is competitive and resent other’s success?
Your mindset has a tremendous effect on the course of your life. Numerous research on mindset has shown that the way you think about yourself and your world can impact your learning, stress level, success, and even your immune system.
If you want to be a magnet for abundance, here is how to go from scarcity to abundance with these 10 tips to develop an abundance mindset.
1.Observing Your Thoughts
If you want to develop an abundance mindset, you have to become aware of your thought patterns. By observing your mind, you can become aware of your mind tricks and discern whether you are thinking in terms of lack or Abundance.
By simply becoming aware of what sort of thoughts you entertain, you can consciously choose different ones and gently shift your focus from lack to Abundance.
When you observe your thoughts long enough, you will recognize the relative nature of your thoughts. You will realize that every thought that arises in your mind is just one perspective, one point of view, one angle. It is not the whole. It is simply a fragment of the totality.
2. The Power of Gratitude
“Gratitude is the open door to abundance.” – Harbhajan Singh Yogi
Feeling grateful is for sure the fastest way to attract more Abundance in your life. There are several studies that have concluded the power of gratitude.
When you feel grateful for what you DO have, you will attract more of it.
One way you can practice gratitude is to write down at least ten things you are grateful for every day. Keeping a gratitude journal is a great way to incorporate this practice into your everyday life. Remember to appreciate the simple things in life, such as the fresh air you breathe, the food on your table, and the bed you sleep in.
“Giving thanks for abundance is greater than abundance itself.” – Rumi
3. Believe in Infinite Possibilities
“Believe in Infinite Possibilities. Just Because You Cannot See Them Does Not Mean They Do Not Exist.” – Eva Selhub, MD
Whenever faced with adversity, choose to see the different possibilities that are always available in every moment. Know that there is a different perspective, be willing to see it from a different angle, and choose to see the opportunity in disguise.
Have the attitude of approaching every challenge with optimism, seek the potential for growth in the situation, or use it as a kickass motivation to be better and do better.
Rise above your limited mindset. According to the “invisible gorilla experiment” performed by Harvard University, when people are focused on one singular thing very intensely, they overlook the other opportunities right in front of their nose.
The brain can only absorb this much, so if you believe you cannot do this, or this is impossible, this is all you will see. Train your mind to let go of those thoughts and beliefs you cling on to like bulldog.
A regular practice of meditation for just a few minutes every day can help you let go of thoughts and expand your awareness. Click on the link to read more about the stunning benefits of Alternate Nostril Breathing.
4. The Power of Giving
“Giving is the secret of abundance.” – Sivananda
As counterintuitive as it sounds, giving is the surest way to increase more Abundance in your life. Whenever you feel like you don’t have enough money, donate or give some money to someone in need.
Whenever you feel like you don’t have enough time, donate some of your time to a good cause. Giving will create a more abundant and appreciative state of mind.
5. Focus on Abundance
“Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance.” – Eckhart Tolle
Where awareness goes, energy flows. When you focus on Abundance, you will attract more Abundance into your life. We live in an abundant Universe. Our Universe is always evolving.
There is so much Abundance all around you. Spend some time in nature and notice the Abundance of trees and leaves.
The internet is also a wealth of Abundance. There is such an abundance of information, knowledge. You can practically find guidance on any topic. Infinite ideas are available to you. It is a never-ending cycle. It is always growing and expanding. This is what you want to focus on.
We tend to focus on what’s going wrong, more often than what’s going right. It is how our brain functions.
Next time you find yourself amid a problem, try to take a step back and observe the issue from a broader perspective. Instead of focusing on the problem, seek the benefit in the situation, focus all your attention on the benefit, and then notice how the solution will appear on its own accord.
“Problems cannot be solved with the same mindset that created them.” – Albert Einstein
6. Surround Yourself with Abundant-Minded People
Mindsets are infectious. Choose your friends wisely. Limit your time with the “find-a-problem-for-every-solution” kinda people. Instead, surround yourself with “the-sky-is the-limited” kinda beasts.
7. Create Win-Win Situations
Get rid of those limited beliefs that if one person wins, another loses. Create more win-win situations in all areas of your life. The more you help others, the more good will come to you.
Always make sure everyone feels satisfied and good about themselves. Always find the solutions where everyone leaves with a sense of satisfaction.
Always remember you are an evolving being, and there is more than enough for everyone.
8. Make Self-Reflection your #1 Priority
Make some time every day for self-reflection. Learn to ponder and contemplate on all the good in your life. Journaling is a great way to reflect on your thoughts and your funny ways of thinking.
9. Do Your Affirmations
Are you beating the drum of how much you DON’T have, or are you bragging about how much you DO have? Be aware of the stories you keep repeating. Be careful with the words that come out of your mouth. Choose them wisely. You speak everything into existence.
Repeating your positive affirmations can help you shift from a lack based mindset to an abundant state of mind.

10. Think like Albert Einstein
“The more I learn the more I realize how much I don’t know.” –Albert Einstein
Have a curious mindset. Accept that you don’t know shit. An abundant mindset always wants to learn and grow. The curious mind is constantly open and receptive to new ideas.
It is all about having an attitude of “Ahh, Whoa, What an interesting point of view, I never thought of it this way,” regardless of how much you already know. Be comfortable with not knowing.
