Hands up if you’ve ever felt the crippling presence of the ‘I Don’t Have Enough’s.’
Yeah, me too.
We’re all blessed to have endless access to online resources that aim to teach us about scarcity consciousness, and about the importance of welcoming in an abundance mindset, but much of our beliefs – our relationships to money and resources – are so deeply rooted into the fibre of our muscles, that it takes more than a few positive declarations of ‘I am abundant’ to move through – and ultimately, transmute – patterns that are so long-standing.
And let me tell you, I am hella familiar with the deep belly burn of feared bankruptcy.
Anthems of Money Doesn’t Grow On Trees, and Do You Think I’m Made Of Money? echoed throughout my house as a child (as I’m sure they did for most of you, too), and when I flew the nest rather hastily at 16, rendering myself legally independent, I entered into a whole ‘nother level of poverty thinking. Amidst finishing my high school exams, and travelling my state for sporting commitments, and trying my hardest to be a teenager, I also had to pay the rent. And the bills.
And so, I entered the paradigm in which my ‘success’ as a human in the world was hinged on how much I could earn (even as a 16 years old), and so, in that pizza shop I worked in, I hustled.
The subconscious message was simple: If you want to survive, then girl, you better work damn hard.
Every time my bank account became threatened, so did I, and I carried this unknowingly into my late teens and early twenties, and in all honesty, I can still feel it rearing it’s ugly and unwelcome head today, albeit rarely.
So, sweet potato, I feel ya. I really do.
But now that we’ve got this out into open air, let’s talk strategies. A way out. A calming of the nervous system.
CLICK PLAY and to learn a few ways that you can practically move through the discomfort of not having enough and opening yourself up to having an abundance mindset.
These are strategies that have been pulled from the 2014 Spirited Companion: Spirited Solutions to What’s Holding You Back.

Over to you, now. Would you mind sharing with us a reflection for the second suggestion in the video? What was it that you feared, and how did support show up in your life? Really looking forward to reading your responses!
So poignantly perfect Tara. Thankyou xxx
As are you :)
Awesome video Tara!!! I had a moment this morning of the not enoughs and a gratitude walk with my hubby pulled me right out of it. Focussing on what you do have and having faith, trust and knowing is so important. Knowing that its not all up to you and that you are supported you just have to believe makes me feel so much lighter. Great message today thank you so much.
xxxx
So happy to read this :) You’re welcome, thank YOU for leaving some love x
Beautiful video my darling (foxy hair, by the way!). I have to admit to still struggling with this a little bit- I’ve definitely carried a lot of messages through with me from childhood. A bit of chakra one work and prayer needed, me-thinks! xxx
FOX-AY! You got this lady. I know you do.
Thankyou so much Tara…. definitely gave me something to think about!! :D xx
You’re very very welcome Belinda xx
Thank you, I had my pen and paper taking notes to set up my safe haven… too often we/I get caught up in the negative worry, such a waste of energy.. its going to take time to tune those thoughts out, but with you reminding me and the awareness of slow down breath and relax things can only become more amazing…
Much Love xx
100% gorgeous lady. I believe it. I hope you do too.
Thank you for your love here today x
I often wonder how I come across the things I treasure most. You, my new friend are a treasure I truly cannot thank enough. I am so grateful to have found your blog and have gained such a deeper understanding in the short time we have connected. (even though we haven’t officially met yet…I still feel within our divine energies embracing) I just want to once again, acknowledge for the gift you share with so many of us..near and far. Thank you for shining your light and being you. NAMASTE~
Well hello there, beautiful new friend! What a totally gorgeous comment to read.
Namaste Ash xx
That was amazing! It’s so true, I always get what I need in the end. Thank you, I really needed to hear and feel this.
Perfect timing. Needed this so much. I’ll be making myself a little abundance altar. Thank you, beautiful xx
Thank you, thank you, thank you Tara! Last night my mindset was wandering over those pesky thoughts of whether I have enough…the thoughts lingered today as well, this message came at the perfect time. Once again thank you gorgeous lady – your messages never cease to connect to me xx
Thank you Tara for posting this. I often don’t prefer videos but something made me decide to press play and this was about the best message I could have received right now. I am a month away from going on a stellar retreat to Bali and I’m still worried about how I’m going to pay for it. I also have been thinking about revamping my alter. Need I say this video was a two-for-one in dealing with both those issues?
I know things have always worked out in the past and I know they will now. I’m looking forward to a bit of meditation and journaling to help focus that energy towards knowing it will all be okay.
Thanks again!
I watched your video, did what you said, and I am taking forward steps to acquiring my literal “dream” house. I journaled, wrote down my intentions, and then set my shrine on top of it and just sat for a bit. I was guided to all the right things to make this dream a reality. Sunshine and much happiness to you Tara. Thank you :)
One of your best videos yet!! I so, so love it. And it’s exactly what I needed right now.
xx
Thank you Shae!!
Very Helpful, love learning about the alter/ safe place and things I can bring into my home to help create abundance and change my mind set. Thanks Tara x
No problem!
