It can be difficult to change your mind about certain habits. After all, you have years of learned behavior under your belt, and sometimes the habits are so ingrained that it's tough to learn a new way of doing things. This is particularly true when you're trying to change from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset.

With a scarcity mindset, you believe that everything has a limit. So when it comes to your money, you believe that the amount of money you have is limited. This, naturally, causes you to worry about your future. You might make fear-based decisions because you're afraid that you don't have enough. It can sabotage your chances for financial success because you think that you won't get your share.

On the other hand, with an abundance mindset, you think that there's plenty of wealth and happiness to go around. You remain optimistic about the future and believe that even if there are bumps along the way that everything will work out. Your decisions are based on the bigger picture rather than the momentary instance.

To have financial freedom, it's best to embrace an abundance mindset and rid yourself of the scarcity one. That's because financial well-being can benefit from positive expectations.

This can also apply to other areas of your life. For instance, if you feel a lack of respect from others, give respect back. If you feel a lack of compassion, be compassionate to others. Basically, if you never feel like you have enough, change that way of thinking. After all, an abundance mindset comes from realizing that the world has plenty to give you and everyone else, so take the time to enjoy it all.
