Takeaway practice described in this episode: Creating Safety from Within
At any point in the next week, if you notice a scarcity fear or a scarcity thought that is causing you to feel threatened, try any one of the following practices for creating safety from within: 
-Physical movement of any kind for 20-60 minutes 
-Breathing, particularly slow, unhurried deep belly breaths for at least 5-10 minutes 
-Positive social interaction 
-Laughter, and/or crying (or if you find a really good dark comedy, maybe you will do a bit of both)
-Affection, particularly a 20-second long hug 
-Creative expression of any kind, particularly the type that is physicalized such as dance, singing, etc. Can also include more introspective expression such as journaling, painting, etc.

On episode 2, we explore the definitions of scarcity, the difference between scarcity and scarcity mindset, features of scarcity thinking, and an expansive view of both "resources" and "wants".
This episode references the book Scarcity by Sendhil Mullainathan and Eldar Shafir.
The practices to integrate this week:
1. Resource Awareness Practice
You can do this either as a journal/writing practice or as a mindfulness walk. Set a timer for 5 minutes and name every resource you see or can think of,  based on our expansive view of resources as physical, mental and emotional. If you get stuck, think of a specific want you have that feels hard to fulfill, and start naming every resource you have access to that might help you fulfill that want.
2. Want Tolerance Practice
There are two parts to this one: Spend this week noticing every time your "wanting" is actually a form of resource. Perhaps it gives you pleasure, joy, motivation, guidance, or clarity. 
In the second part, notice when your unfulfilled wants (which we could also describe as scarcities) are feeling unpleasant or uncomfortable. Rather than needing to change that feeling, take a few deep breaths and allow the feeling of discomfort that comes with an unfulfilled want. See if you can allow the feeling to come and go without resisting it.
