New Method 28 | Cultivate Abundance
This is your weekly affirmation to help you build your personal philosophy. Have a great weekend!
Take a deep breathe in...and say it with me...
By acknowledging that women have always had fewer resources, we can understand why a scarcity mindset may develop among us. The scarcity mindset is the zero-sum paradigm of life. Those with a scarcity mentality have a very difficult time sharing recognition and credit, power or profit. They can be critical of their fellow women. This mindset harms ourselves and our collective progress. Instead, we strive to cultivate an abundant mindset, knowing that we have endless resources and we can always generate more. There are always more opportunities, more money and more seats at the table – indeed, there are newer and better tables to be part of that we have the ability to build ourselves. We know that others’ success does not take away anything from our own. In fact, genuine praise, appreciation and generosity towards others will only increase our bonds with our community and network, which will be reciprocated when the time calls.
Actions
- Practice Generosity Daily: Compliment another woman’s achievement or share a resource with your network, like a job lead or inspiring article. Make a LinkedIn post of 5 women who you are secretly jealous of and give them public praise.
- Reframe Competition: When you feel envy, ask, “What does this teach me about what I want?” Use it as inspiration to set new goals. Watch The Bold Type for examples of women supporting each other professionally.
- Build New Tables: Host a collaborative event, like a skill-sharing workshop or networking brunch, to foster collective growth and connection. Read We Should All Be Millionaires by Rachel Rodgers for actionable advice on creating abundance.
