Hello!
Do you live your life thinking there isn’t enough of ‘x’ to go around?

You see the scarcity mindset holds us back from seeing the abundance that surrounds us everyday. 
Today’s episode was inspired by an affirmation card that I randomly selected as part of my weekly planning routine - from the Choose Happy affirmation card deck. 
You can live your life with an abundance mindset and I’m going to introduce you to three ways you can develop this mindset in today’s show.  We also say the Abundance affirmation together.
