How can you combat a scarcity mindset?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership<\/em> says that you must adopt a mindset of abundance if you want to be the best leader for your organization.

Therefore, they believe that instead of collaborating with others, they must greedily compete with and triumph over them to survive and thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: In <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/daring-greatly\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Daring Greatly<\/em><\/a>, Bren\u00e9 Brown also highlights the negative outcomes of scarcity discussed by the authors, which she classes as narcissistic behaviors (competition and greed) and disengagement (a lack of willingness or ability to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/eckhart-tolle-relationships-how-to-be-present\/\">connect with others<\/a>). Brown adds that <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/daring-greatly\/chapter-1#what-is-a-culture-of-scarcity-em-em\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">scarcity causes people to experience shame (the fear that we\u2019re unworthy of connection and belonging)<\/a>. To overcome scarcity, Brown argues that <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/daring-greatly\/chapter-1#solution-wholeheartedness\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">leaders must adopt a mindset of <em>wholeheartedness<\/em><\/a>. Wholeheartedness not only requires you to adopt an abundance mindset, as the authors recommend, but also to <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/daring-greatly\/introduction#the-best-solution-for-shame-vulnerability\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">practice vulnerability as a means of overcoming shame<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The authors offer two main recommendations for combating a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/culture-of-scarcity\/\">scarcity mentality<\/a> and adopting an abundance mentality instead:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-recommendation-1-meditate-on-abundance\">Recommendation #1: Meditate on Abundance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The authors explain that <strong>practicing an abundance <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/eckhart-tolle-meditation-mindfulness\/\">meditation<\/a> can help you release your scarcity mindset by grounding you in the present moment<\/strong>. They note that we often adopt a scarcity mindset when we focus on either things we lacked in the past or things we might lack in the future. When you use meditation to focus on the present, you realize you have everything you need to feel satisfied, and you experience feelings of abundance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Focusing on the present, rather than the past or the future, may do more than help you overcome the scarcity mindset\u2014it may also improve your overall mental health. Some research has linked being present to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betterup.com\/blog\/how-to-be-present\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reduced stress and more emotional stability.<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To practice an abundance meditation, the authors recommend first focusing on what your body\u2019s doing right now\u2014your heartbeat, your breathing, and so on. Next, focus on the fact that your body feels complete\u2014there\u2019s nothing you\u2019re missing. Then, focus on the present moment and acknowledge that there\u2019s no past or future: Only <em>right now<\/em> exists. Finally, recognize that in this moment, you have more than enough to feel satisfied.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Staying Focused During Your Abundance Meditation<\/strong><br><br>The authors\u2019 abundance meditation involves focusing on four specific things: your bodily sensations, the completeness of your body, the present, and your abundance. If you have a naturally wandering mind, get easily distracted, or aren\u2019t used to practicing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/focused-attention-meditation\/\">focused meditation<\/a>, the idea of keeping your attention on these specific elements may feel daunting. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/advice\/3\/how-do-you-maintain-focus-during-meditation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Here are some tips for retaining focus during a meditation session<\/a>:<br><br><strong>Pick the right environment. <\/strong>Meditate somewhere quiet, comfortable, and secluded to avoid distractions and interruptions.<br><br><strong>Prepare your body. <\/strong>Make sure you\u2019re well-fed and well-rested before meditation so you don\u2019t get distracted by hunger or fatigue.<br><br><strong>Pay attention to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-stop-getting-distracted-by-thoughts\/\">distracting thoughts<\/a>, then move past them. <\/strong>Trying to ignore distracting thoughts won\u2019t get rid of them\u2014they may even come back stronger. Instead, acknowledge that you\u2019ve had the thought, then let it leave your mind. Don\u2019t interact with the thought any further than this.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-recommendation-2-find-solutions-that-benefit-everyone\">Recommendation #2: Find Solutions That Benefit Everyone<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The authors explain that leaders often struggle to develop effective solutions to problems or questions because their scarcity mindset tells them that only one party can triumph. To release this mindset and embrace a mindset of abundance instead, <strong>start looking for solutions that please as many people as possible\u2014ideally everyone.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Although the idea of finding a mutually beneficial solution seems hard to oppose\u2014if everyone wins, who\u2019s left to disagree?\u2014some experts argue against this approach. For instance, negotiation coach Jim Camp asserts that win\/win approaches often mean that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/jimcamp\/2013\/03\/11\/revisiting-win-win-negotiation-its-still-a-losing-game\/?sh=48760bc942b6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">more powerful party pushes the other<\/a> into a less-than-ideal compromise. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.penguinrandomhouse.com\/books\/23435\/start-with-no-by-jim-camp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Start With No<\/em><\/a>, he posits that a win\/win mindset pressures both parties to rush to <em>any<\/em> agreement rather than doing the haggling necessary to reach the <em>best <\/em>deal.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is an abundance mentality?
