Hot take: It is possible to manifest the abundant and fulfilling financial life you so deeply desire. But if you’re thinking, “Sure, I’ll just say some money mantras and watch it all magically fall into place…”

Wait! 

Give me a chance to explain!

As defined by the Cambridge Dictionary, manifestation entails “bringing your desires into reality through visualization and positive thinking”. 

Over the years, manifestation has gotten a bad rep. Often referred to as “magical thinking,” critics are quick to suggest that there are much better ways to increase the likelihood that you will achieve your goals, namely cultivating an internal locus of control and boosting self-efficacy. 

But, believe it or not, neuroscience supports the efficacy of manifestation.  

Some deep breathing to calm your nervous system and help you tune out those limiting money beliefs. Journaling to help you visualize the impact you want your money to have on your life and the lives of those you love. Speaking life to these dreams through daily affirmations related to financial wellbeing. 

Suddenly, instead of taking the road most travelled (fear and scarcity), your brain begins to look for examples of this kind of abundance in the world around you — individuals who have already attained this level of financial success; opportunities and resources to help you navigate your unique set of financial circumstances toward your specific goals;  avenues to direct your wealth in a way that feels aligned and brings you joy; financial expertise which mirrors this more expansive approach to wealth-building; etc. 

What we have here is a good old-fashioned case of “yes, AND”. Can manifestation play a central role in helping you step into an abundant future? Absolutely. AND, marrying this positive thinking with work around money mindset, goal alignment, and financial planning can fast-track your success. 

So let’s work a little money magic of our own and get started with 15 of my favorite money mantras to help you manifest financial wellness.

But first…

What is a Money Mantra?

A mantra is meant to inspire, encourage, and motivate an individual through consistent and repetitive positive self-talk. It’s something you connect with and aspire to believe, even if it doesn’t feel fully true to you in the current moment. Money mantras are specific to financial wellness, abundance, and financial success.

Too often, I hear the exact opposite. I don’t know what I’m doing in the world of finances or I’m never going to be able to afford XYZ or I’m probably too late to invest, and so on. 

There is so much negative self-talk in the world of finance, and it needs to be redirected.

Why Are Money Mantras Necessary?

There are three primary reasons I’ve come across for why working to create positive energy around your personal finances through money mantras is effective.

• First, financial literacy and money management were not part of our required curriculum growing up. For many of us, it was never even a conversation topic in our adolescent or young adult lives. A gentle reminder that we all can give ourselves a little grace here.  

• Second, there is no room for negativity or self-criticism as it relates to what you have or have not done in your financial life. What you consistently say to yourself will create and/or maintain your reality. You need to change the dialogue if you want to change the outcome. 

• Third, we cannot change the actions we’ve already taken. We cannot start investing 10 years in the past, pay off our debt five years ago, or turn back time to avoid a significant financial mistake. You didn’t know what you didn’t know. What you CAN control is your current financial outlook and the money moves you make going forward.
