Let's talk about how your abundance mindset is supporting the growth of your yoga or your healing business.

Now maybe you haven't quite committed to an abundance mindset yet,

But you're ready to do what it takes to grow your healing biz to consistent income and start filling your paid offerings with ease.

If that sounds like you,

Stick around.

Today I want to share just a few simple steps that you can take when you find yourself in more of a scarcity mindset,

Especially when it comes to growing your yoga or your healing business.

So if you are feeling like a bit stuck with your business,

But you're ready to shift that stagnant energy and do what it takes to create financial consistency and freedom for the long term with your yoga or your healing business,

Then this talk is for you.

I want to start off by just chatting about what does it really mean to operate from a place of abundance and how to leave behind any feelings of scarcity that might creep in from time to time.

So let's start by talking actually about scarcity and what that mindset kind of looks like in case you're not sure if you've been there before or maybe you're there right now and we're going to work that out.

So you can think of scarcity mode as kind of that little inner voice that's telling you something untrue,

Those untrue stories like I'm not good enough to charge that much or there are too many yoga teachers or too many healers already doing what I'm doing.

There's no space for me.

Or I have to lower my prices or no one will book with me.

So just consider if you've ever had those thoughts in your mind.

I know for me,

I've certainly in the past had all of those thoughts over and over and have done a lot of work to work through that.

So if that sounds familiar,

You are not alone.

Now the scarcity mindset tends to be rooted more in a place of fear,

Right?

That fear could be of not having enough clients,

Not making enough money,

Just simply not being good enough.

And while it's normal to experience thoughts like this,

Especially when you are newer to growing your business or if you're trying to scale your business,

You know,

We need to push ourselves into this place of discomfort,

But it's not always easy in that place,

Right?

Those thoughts can start to come up and slow you down.

The more time that you spend in this scarcity mindset,

The less growth and momentum that your business will have.

It's just that simple.

And obviously,

There's a lot more to growing a business than just being in the right mindset.

But this is a piece that I see a lot of the clients that come to me,

They can be stuck in this and the mindset piece is so important.

You can't have strategy without mindset and grow a successful business,

Right?

You need both.

So when you are growing your business with a scarcity mindset,

This can put you into kind of like a survival mode,

Like it can make you think more short term and have you focusing on the lack,

What's lacking rather than on all of the potential that's all around you.

And there really is.

And I know sometimes as an entrepreneur,

It could be hard to see that.

So just hearing that probably sounds a little bit tiring,

Right?

And you could even start to feel a bit burnt out if you're in this scarcity mindset.

Maybe teaching too many classes for too little pay,

Giving away free sessions,

Hoping it will lead to something more if you've done that in the past.

If you're doing it now,

It's great to just acknowledge that and what really is stemming from that.

And you might even feel some resentment coming up,

Which is just not the energy that you want to carry with you when you are sharing these healing practices that I know you are so passionate about.

Let's talk about what happens when you shift from scarcity to an abundant mindset,

Okay?

It's important to me to give you tangible ways to shift,

Not just to focus on the negative,

Right?

When you shift to an abundance mindset,

You know you're confident that there's more than enough to go around,

Right?

You trust that your work has value and that the right clients are out there,

The right students are out there,

And they're trying to find you.

They're looking for you right now,

Right?

You understand that growth takes time and you're committed to the long-term vision for your business.

This is an abundant mindset,

Right?

Having patience and trust.

And instead of worrying about the competition,

We've talked about this over the last couple of weeks with being in comparison mode,

You start to see that as more of a collaboration opportunity.

Instead of feeling pressured to discount your services,

Your classes,

Your sessions,

Your workshops,

Whatever it is,

Instead of that,

You become confident in the prices that you reflect and the true value of what you are offering.

This is what it's like to be in an abundant mindset as a yoga teacher or a healer growing your business.

So how do we make that shift if you are not already there?

Let's break this down in just a few simple steps today.

Step one is just simply being aware,

Recognizing your beliefs.

If you are in scarcity,

That first step in shifting your mindset is just becoming aware that those thoughts are coming up,

Okay?

Listening to the words you use when you think or you talk about your business and just noticing,

Are you saying things like,

I have to take every client I can get,

Or I could never charge that much.

You know,

Thoughts and words like those are more of a scarcity belief.

And it's important to remember that the thoughts are not you.

We know that.

We know that we are not our thoughts.

But sometimes we need that reminder.

Those stories that you've learned over the years,

Of course,

A lot of it stemming from childhood,

And you've started to continue telling yourself these stories,

They might not be true.

They are not.

So based on past experiences,

Based on fear of the unknown,

These stories have been creeping into your mind and holding you back.

And once you recognize them for what they are,

That's when you can start to make the shift and change that,

Okay?

So step two is then reframing your thinking.

This is where really that transformation starts to come in.

Every time you catch yourself in a scarcity thought,

Just take a pause with self-compassion like we talked about last week,

And just ask yourself,

What is the abundant version of this thought?

How can I shift this around to being in abundance?

Chances are it's going to be basically the opposite of the thought,

Right?

So if you're thinking there's not enough demand for what I do,

You can reframe that to there's an abundance of people who need exactly what I offer,

And they're already on their way to me.

It's not about being unrealistic or overly optimistic.

Like I said,

There's still strategy involved to get you there,

But you need to have that positive mindset.

It's about training your brain to focus on what is possible instead of focusing on the limitations.

So when you reframe your thinking,

You're creating new pathways in your brain.

I've been doing a lot of EFT tapping lately and really been focusing on my thoughts,

And I'm really feeling a shift in just the energy going into my business.

So I want you to start paying attention to that as well.

And this is going to help you naturally gravitate toward abundance with your yoga or your healing business.

Okay,

The final step is to take action and to take aligned action.

Now this final step is really just part of this new mindset,

Right?

Operating from abundance doesn't just mean thinking positively.

Like I said,

You've got to take action.

You've got to put the strategies in place.

You've got to put yourself out there.

It's about making decisions that actually reflect your belief in the value of what you are offering.

So once you believe that your offerings have value,

Your workshops,

Your retreats,

Your sessions,

Whatever it is,

Then you will start to take action with that mindset.

And this could mean for you,

Maybe that's raising your prices to reflect the true worth of your time and your expertise and all of those trainings that you've done.

It might even mean saying no to opportunities that drain your energy.

I've spoken to some of you briefly about this recently,

Just being true to what is an aligned opportunity and what is not and why you are choosing it,

Even if there's money involved in the short term.

Or it could even be finally investing in a business coach or in a course that you've been considering,

Trusting that it will pay off in the long run.

So we're looking at the long run.

If you want to have a sustainable long term business,

There are choices that you need to make that are more long term.

So aligned action is just about taking the steps that match your vision of a sustainable and thriving business.

And yeah,

It's probably going to feel uncomfortable,

Especially at first,

Because we know that that's where the growth happens.

We need to move through that discomfort.

So before I go,

I want to just take a sec to acknowledge that this journey of shifting from scarcity to abundance is not easy.

It's not always easy,

Okay?

I've been through this myself and I would not be where I am now sitting in my bally villa,

Selling out retreats,

Connecting with dream students around the globe on a daily basis if I had not made it to the other side of that scarcity mindset.

So it does require patience,

It requires self-compassion like we talked about in the last live.

And it's not just about making more money,

Right?

It's about stepping into the freedom and the fulfillment that come with running a thriving business that supports your lifestyle,

Not just your bank account,

Okay?

When we talk about abundance,

That can mean so many different things.

I know so many of you are working on having consistent income and that's part of it.

But what is the lifestyle that you desire?

And that is a place of abundance because when you have that consistent income and the freedom of running your business solely for yourself and you're not worried about where the money is coming,

Then you can truly step into that lifestyle that you are dreaming about.

So let's just take a moment here.

I want you to just take a breath with me,

Take a deep breath in,

Big exhale out.

Close your eyes if that feels okay.

And I want you to just for a moment imagine your future self,

Someone who has embraced abundance in every aspect of her life and business.

She no longer questions her worth.

She confidently sets her prices,

Attracts her ideal students or clients,

And experiences the freedom to work solely for herself wherever and whenever she chooses.

So just envision that for yourself.

And wherever that vision has taken you,

I want you to be aware that that version of you is already within you.

It's just waiting for you to fully step into it and own it.

Take another deep breath in,

Let it go,

Exhale,

And open your eyes if they're closed.

As we wrap up today,

Remember if this talk resonated with you,

I want you to reflect on these steps,

Start integrating them into your daily life,

Sit with it,

Ask yourself,

What scarcity belief can I release today?

And what new abundant thought will I choose instead?

Okay,

So be kind to yourself along the way,

Trust that you are exactly where you need to be.

Lots of love to you,

And I'll talk to you soon.
