"There's a specific kind of hunger that doesn't feel like hunger.
It feels like ambition. Or drive. Or "I just need to get one more thing locked in and then I'll relax."
But you already got the thing. The job. The relationship. The number in the bank account you said would feel safe.
And you're still reaching.
That's this week's bug: The Scarcity Locust.
The Scarcity Locust
Locusts are one of the strangest insects in the world. Under normal conditions, they're gentle, solitary grasshoppers. But when they sense shortage (too little rain, too much crowding, the wrong cue at the wrong time), they transform. They swarm. They eat everything in front of them. Whole crops, whole regions, gone in a day.
And the wild part: by the time the swarm hits, the scarcity is often already over. The body remembers the signal long after the weather changed.
Abundance isn't about how much you have. It's about whether you can receive what's already in front of you.
The Locust whispers:
"It's not enough yet."
"What if it disappears?"
"Just one more, then I can breathe."

Signs It's Active
you hit a goal and feel flat within a week
you can't enjoy a meal without planning the next one
you stockpile (money, food, favors, plans) past the point of use
"rest" feels like falling behind
you're not sure what "enough" would even look like
How It Gets In
Scarcity patterns usually come from somewhere real. Tight money as a kid. A period of instability. A parent who modeled "we might not make it." Your body listened. It learned to swarm.
That learning saved you then. It's just still running now, in a field that's no longer empty.
The Antidote: The Enough Audit
Do this once, before the weekend:
Write down three things you already have that past-you would have thought was enough
Sit with each for 30 seconds without adding anything (not "yes but")
Notice whether your chest loosens, tightens, or stays the same
You don't have to feel grateful on command. You just have to let your body register that the field is not actually empty.
Repeat the audit once a week for a month. You're re-teaching your system what "enough" feels like.
Reflection
What did you already have this week that would have felt like a miracle five years ago?
And what would change if you let it count?
