Having lust for results hinders your manifestations. But what does this mean exactly? This week we’ll explore how scarcity and lusting for results are preventing you from manifesting what you want in this world. Let’s take a dive this week into the Deeper Thoughts.
The Universe operates on the law of mirroring, more commonly known as the law of attraction. When you’re desperate for an outcome you have consciously or subconsciously fallen into a scarcity mindset. Scarcity is a lower vibration. The way mirroring works is it reflects the frequency you put out back to you. So when you’re in that scarcity frequency and radiating that energy out to the universe, that’s what the universe is going to radiate back.
Many people assume a scarcity mindset only stems around money, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. Scarcity can stem from a feeling of lack of love, a lack of trust, from constant fear or anxiety, constant negative thinking, the list goes on and on. There are countless traumas, woundings, and programming that create and grow a scarcity mindset. For a more detailed explanation on programming in general, read our Deeper Thoughts post titled, “Societal Conditioning: How are You Being Programmed?” For this post we’ll go into some explanations on how scarcity mindsets can be formed and how they will affect you.
Let’s start off simple in terms of money. How can scarcity mindsets form around money? If you grew up in lower income areas or your family was lower income you might have seen many people struggling financially. You’re raised with the mindset that money is hard to come by. Your parents might talk about how there’s barely any money to pay bills or even have to miss paying a bill to put food on the table. In this environment you might think that no matter how hard you work, there’s only so much money out there that you can receive. Many of us were brought up thinking that the rich were evil and hoarded all the money, or that money is the root of all evil, when in fact it’s the rich that’s usually giving the most to charities, and money is simply a tool and an exchange of energy. It’s not good, it’s not evil. It simply is a tool. Sometimes this ideology might not be from how someone was raised but because they felt entitled for no reason. They think that the rich should give them money because they need it instead of doing the work to create their own wealth.
This upbringing creates a massive scarcity mindset in relation to money. If you cling to a need for money in desperation, the universe will continue to reflect ways that mirror your mindset.
What about love? If we see so many people marrying and divorcing, only to remarry and divorce, it puts a negative seed of thought into our minds, especially if this happened to our parents. We’re brought up thinking love is supposed to be like a fairytale Disney movie, when that’s not what love is at all. When we see others not having this fairytale ending and then have our own heartbreaks it reinforces, for many, that love doesn’t exist. We get a reflection of this in our relationships from the universe. We expect the fairytale ending once we get the relationship and don’t continue to grow it. We don’t work on ourselves, heal the things in the mirror that our relationship is reflecting to us, and/or give up at the first sign of trouble. This constant cycle puts the scarcity mindset that love either isn’t real or impossible to find.
If you’re thinking that every person you date or get close to leaves you then you’ll be put in relationships that mirror scenario. If you don’t heal the inner parts of yourself from where that wounding thought stems from, you’ll repeat your own patterns that will manifest that instead of a lasting love, often in the form of you doing things that push the other person way, usually subconsciously as a means to keep you “safe” from them leaving you.
If you’ve ever had a close friend betray you, you might think that the only person you can trust is yourself. Similar events will arise like in the previous example and will continue to repeat until you heal and integrate the wounded parts in pain.
If we’re living in constant fear of bad things happening, and always expecting the worst then that’s what we get. Thinking the world is dangerous and always thinking “bad things always happen to me,” gets that frequency reflected right back. It creates a constant feedback loop and bad things keep happening to keep you living in fear.
Scarcity mindsets can stem from a multitude of issues and this list does not cover even a fraction of them. Many times we’re not even aware we’re in this frequency. This is why self awareness is so important. It lets you understand the vibrations you’re radiating out and why it’s being sent back to you.
So what are some things you can do to help pull you out of a scarcity mindset? Doing shadow work and integrating those wounds you have for starters. Improve your relationship to whatever it is you’re deep down feeling scarce in. For money, study how money works and flows and how you can start creating your own wealth (See my post titled “The Energy Flow of Cash Flow”). For love and relationships start showing yourself love. Work on doing things for yourself that are beneficial to you and not detrimental to you, step up and assert your boundaries, treat yourself to something nice that you’ve wanted. If you’re constantly afraid, do something outside of your comfort zone like taking a boxing or jiu-jitsu class. You get the idea.
Keeping track of all the things you’re grateful for and have in abundance helps greatly in pulling you out of a scarcity mindset. Keep a journal and wake up and go to bed recording the things you are grateful for. These little steps will add up and over time that scarcity mindset will dwindle and your abundance mindset will grow. Then you’ll start to see the universe reflecting back to you a frequency of abundance in it’s place. Work on your mindset and take action to align it and watch yourself grow!
I hope you enjoyed this week’s Deeper Thoughts post. Hopefully it will help you understand how scarcity mindsets hinder your manifestations via the Law of Mirroring. Thank you for reading, and as always, have an enlightening day!
