Abundance, for someone who has been away from home, would be enjoying a meal with his loved ones. Many of us enjoy such simple pleasures but often take them for granted.

How would you define abundance? For some, it means a large quantity, plenty and unlimited supply and for most, it is expressed in  financial terms but the true meaning lies in the word itself — Abundance.

Abundance
Dance is a state of being joyous, of letting it flow freely. It bridges the gap between the finite and the infinite. It elevates consciousness.
There are various types of abundance:
Financial — connected to wealth.
Physical —  connected to health and well being.
Emotional — anything connected to love.
Mental — connected to peace, qualification etc.
Spiritual — people who fall under this category not only understand themselves but also their purpose in life. Such people are open and attuned to their inner peace.
But how each of us perceives abundance, may vary as well. Abundance, for a person who has been in the hospital for months, would be as simple as sitting in a garden, breathing fresh air and hearing birds chirp or recovering completely.
Abundance, for someone who has been away from home, would be enjoying a meal with his loved ones. Many of us enjoy such simple pleasures but often take them for granted.
Mother earth is abundantly flowing and has so much to offer. There is beauty all around us. Take a look at the parks, soak in the aroma. Movement of life can also be witnessed in theatres, malls, food, and so on and so forth.
There is a lack of awareness, among other things, in many of us. When we focus on what is lacking, we create negative thoughts, negative emotions and it causes undesirable manifestations. Have you ever wondered why some people are growing richer and vice versa? It is all due to the mindset people have.

Abundance Mindset
Such people believe that there is abundance for everyone (wealth, love, joy, opportunities). They have an optimistic approach towards life.

They mainly focus on what they want and have rather than on what they lack. They live in a state of gratitude and are happy for others’ success. There’s no jealousy or comparison of any sort in their minds.

Scarcity Mindset
They believe that there is a limited amount of anything, and cling to everything out of fear. They always worry about the future and this leads to  fear-based decisions. They believe that situations can be permanent and use thoughts and words of scarcity. For example: “I am not capable enough” or “I do not have enough”. They are mostly dissatisfied and envious.

They have addictive tendencies like collecting things. All this comes from a scarcity mindset.

If one has to live a life of abundance, there has to be a conscious effort to change one’s mindset from scarcity to abundance.

Some of the biggest contributors to the society have an ‘abundance mentality’. They see life in a different way. They realise that by sharing their ideas and innovations with the world, everyone would benefit. It would help people lead a better life, offer better jobs and opportunities etc. In return, abundance knocks at their door, in a bigger way than they can imagine. Living in abundance begins not by changing people and environment but by changing the way we look at others. Appreciating beauty  rather than trying to control the environment. It’s like emitting a new vibration. It is about being abundantly kind and generous to one and all. Being grateful to others and yourself as well.

Useful Tips:
1. Every morning before getting out of bed, take a minute and remind yourself, “today is a new day”. Invite new possibilities and opportunities from the universe. Go through your list of gratitude and express thankfulness for all the blessings in your life.
2. Live in the moment. Most of us are either living in the past or the future which is an illusion. The only golden moment of utmost importance is the present. For example, while eating a meal with your loved ones, make a conscious effort to put the phone away and have a healthy conversation.
3.Focus on your thoughts and invite positive thoughts for yourself and others. Pray for people in pain.
4. Act of kindness. Wish others well. Offer compliments.
5. Laugh abundantly. Don’t take life so seriously. It’s very important to love and accept yourself unconditionally and laugh.
6 Eliminate negative influences, stay away from criticism, gossip, self-pity and jealousy.
7 Be joyous. Be happy for others’ success as much as you are for yourself. Celebrate and life will give you much more than you can ever imagine.
