Do you have a lack mentality in your closet . . .

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Do you have a lack mentality? No judgsies, I’ve been there. When I first heard the term ‘lack mindset or mentality’ I thought, I don’t have that. I said this before I even knew what it meant. I was so sure I couldn’t have anything with the word ‘lack’ in it that my ego brushed it off and on I went with my day. Years later I signed up for an ‘Activate your Wealthy Mind’ course and learned I had a long way to go and holy did I ever live in the realm of lack.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A lack mentality/ mindset is the idea that there isn’t enough to go around. For what to go around, well that could be anything from clothes to food to resources to money. It’s this corner of the brain that lives in constant scarcity and fear of there not being enough. This scarcity mindset was very active in all areas in my life but mainly MY CLOSET. I lived with the very real feeling of needing more. Whatever pieces I had just weren’t enough. Every event I went to, I needed a new dress because what if ‘they’ saw me wearing an outfit for a second time. Every season I needed new colours and pieces because what if ‘they’ just never made those pieces again. It’s a fear that lives deeply in a lot of us. </span></p> <p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">So how do you know you know if you live in the realm of scarcity? </span></em></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For one, how often do you shop and do you even wear the pieces you buy. I started to notice that I was shopping faster and more than I could even wear the clothes. Every season I found mySelf hauling away big garbage bags of pieces I never even touched but at the time I absolutely just</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">needed.</span></em> <span style="font-weight: 400;">THIS is a scarcity mindset. Do you save your favourite pieces of clothing to only wear on special occasions? THIS is a scarcity mindset. When you buy the yummiest groceries do you stretch out your favourite items to savour every last piece or may
