Key takeaways:

• Scarcity mindset isn’t just about money—it shows up as fear, urgency, tension, and a lack of trust in yourself and life.
• Your body knows before your brain does—watch for breath-holding and tightness as early signs of scarcity thinking.
• FOMO can hijack your decision-making. Learn to listen for the “expansive yes” instead of defaulting to “I should.”
• Creativity and comparison don’t mix. When you’re stuck in scarcity, your brain literally can’t access creative flow.
• Celebrate others' success as evidence of what’s possible, not proof you’re behind.
• Boundaries and micro-declines (“not now” instead of “never”) are powerful ways to honour your time and energy.
• Scarcity in relationships can lead to staying too long, settling, or losing yourself. Abundance says: “I am enough, even alone.”
• Scarcity also drives behaviours like emotional eating, people-pleasing, and burnout—awareness is the first step to change.
• Shift your framework from “I have to” to “I get to.” Same action, new energy.
