As backed by the latest science, research, and my own personal experience.

1. Be grateful everyday. Gratitude shifts your focus from what’s lacking to what’s already good in your life. This re-trains the brain to see abundance. To do this, write down 3–5 things you’re grateful for every day. Be specific (“I’m grateful for my friend Sarah calling me today” instead of “I’m grateful for friends”).

2. Surround yourself with abundant thinkers. Mindsets are contagious. Being around people who think big and generously will naturally expand your worldview. So seek out mentors, peer groups, or communities that focus on hope, generosity, and growth instead of fear and competition.

3. Reframe limiting beliefs. Scarcity thinking is often rooted in subconscious beliefs like “There’s never enough” or “Success for others means less for me.” Instead, reframe any scarce thoughts like such as “I’ll never have enough clients” into positive ones like, “There are more than enough clients looking for what I offer.”

4. Give time, value, and compliments freely. Giving reinforces the belief that there’s plenty to go around. It’s a practical way to “prove” abundance to your subconscious. So offer your help, share knowledge, and give honest appreciation—without expecting immediate returns.

5. Visualize abundant winning. World-class athletes regularly do this, since visualization helps rewire neural pathways for optimism and opportunity. When comfronted with a challenge, spend 5–10 minutes visualizing your goals as already achieved. Imagine the feelings, details, and outcomes. See yourself overcoming your obstacles and incredibly the brain will follow.
