No &#8211; not \u201cabracadabra\u201d or \u201czimzalabim\u201d, although those are great words. Abracadabra is thought to come from the Aramaic phrase \u201cavra kehdabra\u201d, meaning \u201cI will create as I speak\u201d, and zimzalabim comes from the mythological tricksters, Zim Zala and Bim.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But, our most basic and formative levels of social etiquette (getting people to do what we want = magic) include the words \u201cplease\u201d and \u201cthank you\u201d. Leading money gurus and coaches are increasingly aware that much of our sentiment and feelings influence our ability to create, grow, protect and share our wealth. Having a positive mindset around our money is instrumental in maintaining good mental health.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many years ago, the phrase \u201can attitude of gratitude\u201d became a popular saying. If we read the early Stoic philosophers, the themes of thought linking gratitude and wellness are abundant, reminding us that it\u2019s not a new concept but possibly as old as magic itself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The link between gratitude and our wealth can be as simple as saying thank you when we receive a flow of money. It can be from a regular paycheck, an upward shift in our stocks, the sale of an asset or any other windfall or gift of generosity. Every time we open a statement or receive a notification from our bank or e-wallet letting us know that there\u2019s more money now than there was a few seconds ago, we can say, \u201cThank you, money.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The thought behind this practice is much deeper than simply acknowledging the money itself; rather, it\u2019s about recognising the gratitude for what the money will mean to how you can be generous. When we see money as a flowing commodity that moves quite freely between us all, we can see how it connects and empowers us, and we can use it in a healthier way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We can also say \u201cthank you, money\u201d when spending (paying it forward) money. Whether it\u2019s for a basket full of groceries, school fees, a cup of coffee, dinner out with our loved ones, or a payment for our home, releasing that money with gratitude improves our mental wellbeing and our ability to sustain a positive mindset.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What we\u2019re ultimately saying is that we\u2019re grateful that we have the money we need, to do what we need to, at that moment. This is why it\u2019s so much deeper than just the momentary transaction. This approach speaks to how we received the money and have kept it; it recognises the people involved and the opportunities with which we\u2019ve been gifted.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some people say that magic isn\u2019t real, but what about the first magic words we\u2019re all taught to say?
