#scarcity-mindset

Call it nostalgia, or call it melancholy, but if you're in your feels, you're right where you need to be. Listen to what uncomfortable emotions are telling you about what needs to be processed from the past, and what needs to be done in the future. Allow emotions to flow, and be open to what they teach you about yourself.

When we're under a lot of stress, our brains do something fascinating and often harmful to our relationships: They shift into scarcity mode. Often, people think of a scarcity mindset only as something related to our finances and resources: We don't have enough money, food, or time. But scarcity mindset, or the general belief that there isn't enough, impacts people in every area: their skills, their worth, their general capacity in life.
