What We're Covering:

What poverty mindset actually looks like (beyond just being broke)
How it shows up in unexpected ways: forcing yourself to finish meals, buying cheap things that break repeatedly
The "this might be the only time" scarcity thinking
Why making decisions from "money will run out" keeps you stuck
How small shifts (like adding egg and cheese to your bagel) raise your vibration
The difference between being budget-conscious vs. fear-based

Your Empowerment Tools:

✨ Observation Practice: Notice where poverty mindset shows up - Are you finishing meals even when you're sick-full? Buying cheap things that break repeatedly?

✨ Abundance Reframe: "There's more where that came from. I deserve this. This is my new lifestyle."

✨ Trust Shift: What if you trusted money would always come in? That you're always supported? What would you do differently?

✨ Small Stretch Action: Do one thing that makes you feel stretched but still okay - not crazy out of budget, but combating the fear

Key Reframe: Poverty mindset isn't just about spending - it's forcing yourself to eat everything on a nice meal because "when will I get another nice meal?" It's buying the cheapest thing that breaks repeatedly instead of investing in quality that lasts 10+ years.

Personal Story: If someone paid for a really nice meal for me, I'd eat EVERYTHING even if I was sick to my stomach, thinking "I can't waste this money, this might be my only nice meal." That's poverty mindset, not gratitude.

Day 9 Challenge:

Observe your poverty mindset behaviors today (no judgment!)
Notice where fear of "not having enough" controls your decisions
Do ONE small thing that stretches you - maybe it's the bagel with egg and cheese instead of just the bagel (extra $2-3)
Maybe it's investing in that course or not shutting down an experience you're drawn to

Money Mindset Series: This is part of our sub-series within Overflow October focusing specifically on money. Repetition is key for reprogramming!
