What I’ve found is that scarcity feels location specific. But the behaviors that stem from these feelings spill into all areas, for example: feeling scarcity about:
- Money - “I never have enough” /Fear of spending, even when resources exist
- Time - Constant urgency, rushing, overwhelm
- Opportunities - Belief that chances are limited or “not for me”
- Love / support - Feeling emotionally unsupported or alone
- Security - Fear of loss, instability, or things falling apart
Shows up as:
- Overworking or over-controlling
- Underspending or overspending
- Hoarding or avoiding
- Staying in situations out of fear
- Grabbing short-term relief over long-term alignment
And then a lot of times we feel like having more money makes the feelings of scarcity go away when we don’t realize those feelings stem from other areas of our lives!
