There’s a big shiny future / You’ve been dying to buy / Better start power lunching / In your power tie. Or in your clicking heels!
As adulthood continues to push us from behind, we find ourselves looking for more and more ways to feed our piggy banks. Leaving within our means has become the new name of the game and being financially secured has become one of the reasons why we grind—thick wallets, big bucks, and fat checks are just bonuses.
If you’re ready to seal the real deal, we’ve prepared four finance spells that can attract moolah. No wands and candles needed, just your willpower.
1. Wake up earlier than the sun.
Rising before the sun is best time to get up, if you’re really into getting more stuff done. It gives you more time to prepare and set the right tone for the day. Also, try not to squeeze everything in by drawing a clear line between your work and side hustles.
2. Daydream with a real purpose.
Daydream should not just be full of what ifs; you can draw up what you want to see in life. Try to set your intentions and focus on what you want to achieve. Stick to them as you slowly get that project off that ground.
3. Come up with a money mantra.
I will do my best to make money. I attract wealth. I deserve abundance. Manifest your mantra by chanting it in your quiet times or when things start to pull you down. It helps to remind you to stand your ground and harness the energy to keep on.
4. Leave no room for envy and jealousy.
Envy is wanting what someone else has and jealousy is fearing that you’re going to lose what you’ve got. Read that line again until you convince yourself that you deserve what you have and that you are not less of a person without the things you don’t have. Release these emotions if you want to stay on the path to wealth.
There’s nothing wrong with wanting to keep your head above the water, it’s only natural (and necessary) to have enough income that can support your living expenses and, sometimes, treat you to one or two indulgences. These spells may not double the figures on your bank account over night, but they can keep you from heading down the crooked trail.
