14 Powerful Phrases Someone With An Abundant Mindset Says Daily
There’s so much power in not only how we see ourselves, but how we speak about who we desire to become. And in an era of “that girl” energy and “being delulu,” using your words to create or transform your reality can make a world of difference.
When we talk about living an abundant life, what can often be missed is how much our thoughts play into becoming a magnet for good fortune. “Change your thoughts, change your reality” isn’t just a clever cliche; it’s the framework for removing limiting beliefs to receive limitless opportunities and resources available to us.
The classic self-help guide, The Game of Life and How to Play It by Florence Scovel, delves into the principles of metaphysical thought and positive affirmations to achieve success and happiness. Through faith, visualization, and the power of positive affirmations, Scovel outlines how to use our words and thoughts to align with the energy of abundance.
When we place an emphasis on gratitude, having everything we need and everything naturally working out for our good, our realities will reflect these possibilities and solutions. And when we remove the “I can’t” to “How can I?” over time, our language will reshape our internal dialogue and, by extension, our external reality.
Let’s align with the energy of abundance with these powerful phrases to say every day — adjust each to the belief system you subscribe to.
Abundance Affirmations:
1. “God/Universe, show me how good life can get. I am open to receiving all the good that is available to me today.”
2. "Every day, I attract wealth and success into my life."I am grateful for the endless opportunities that come my way."

Skylar Marshai Talks Hair Reset With SheaMoisture Bond Repair 'Revive & Thrive' Campaign
This article is in partnership with SheaMoisture
Skylar Marshai is known for her extravagant style, and her hair is no exception. But now, she’s giving her hair a break and focusing on hair care with SheaMoisture’s Bond Repair Collection. “I feel like my hair has always been an extension of my storytelling because I know it's so innately linked to my self-expression that I've been thinking a lot about how my love for crafting my hair into these different forms and shapes has honestly never given it a chance to just be,” Skylar explains.
“So for the next few weeks, I will be wearing my natural hair out.” The SheaMoisture Bond Repair Collection is infused with AminoBlend and HydroPlex technology, scientifically proven to make hair 6x stronger with 84% less breakage by repairing and rebuilding broken hair bonds (vs. non-conditioning shampoo). That’s why it's the perfect hair reset for Skylar.
“It's been a long, long time since I've worn my natural curls. I haven’t nurtured it in its natural form so I’m scared of breakage, of it being dry, of it being damaged,” she admits. “I do feel like my hair is in good hands because I will be using the SheaMoisture Bond Repair Collection and it’s known for repairing damaged hair making it smoother, making it stronger like all of these very real concerns I have.”
Thanks to the unique blend of Amino Blend Complex (fortifying amino acids), Amla oil, and fair-trade shea butter used in each product, the hair will become visibly healthier after just one use. That’s because the collection focuses on repairing and reviving dry, damaged hair due to color, protective styles, heat, and more. This 4-step system, which includes Bond Repair Shampoo, Bond Repair Conditioner, Bond Repair Masque, and Bond Repair Leave-in, also enhances weakened hair bonds to reduce future breakage.
Skylar shows us how she uses the collection and it’s giving big, beautiful, healthy hair. “So I think it's gonna be some beauty to allowing my hair to rest,” she says. When it comes to styling, the influencer is “just gonna let Mother Nature do her thing.” Learn more about the SheaMoisture Bond Repair Collection below.

Normani On Trusting Herself And Rebuilding Her Confidence: 'I’m A Lot More Sure Of Myself'
Normaniis disclosing how being a part of Fifth Harmony negatively impacted her self-confidence.
Fifth Harmony, an all-girl group, was formed in 2012 during the reality singing competition series The X Factor. The group members consisted of Normani, Ally Brooke, Camila Cabello, Dinah Jane, and Lauren Jauregui.
Following their appearance on the show, Fifth Harmony released three studio albums and sold over 15 million copies worldwide before disbanding in 2018. Despite the group's success, Normani faced several hardships as the only Black person in Fifth Harmony, including racism and constant comparisons to her bandmates.
With the release of her debut album, Dopamine, as a solo artist, the 28-year-old shared with Rolling Stone magazine her personal growth throughout these experiences.
Normani On Journey With Fifth Harmony
In the conversation, Normani disclosed that even though she had dealt with unpleasant circumstances in Fifth Harmony, she doesn't have any animosity toward anyone because those moments helped shape her into who she is today.
“I’m grateful for all of it, even the moments where I might’ve felt inadequate or less than,” she said. “ It definitely has a lot to do with why I am the way that I am. It definitely took a toll on my confidence. It’s just another testament to my resilience. Would I do some things differently or wish that some things were done differently? Of course, but I also don’t want to sit here and make it sound like it wasn’t part of my story.”
Further into the discussion, as the “Wild Side” vocalist recounted her journey with Fifth Harmony, she revealed that she was pleased with the amount of success they had accomplished despite being teenagers.
“We were babies. We were so innocent and I think that is the struggle, to your point, of just us having to face reality under very unrealistic circumstances,” she stated. “I always say we did the very best we could with what we had, so that I’m proud of. There’s so much that I don’t even remember because I suppressed it. That’s just my way of protecting myself from having to deal with everything. But what I do remember is it wasn’t all bad. Like yeah, we struggled, but it was also really beautiful in what we accomplished together.”
Normani On Her New Era
Toward the end of the interview, when asked about her latest project and what she wants fans to take away from it, Normani shared that she wants her supporters to see how confident she has become in herself and her talents.
“That I’m f–king strong despite everything that I’ve endured. It’s a testament to my strength and my resilience and my discipline. I’m a lot more sure of myself, a lot more comfortable. I’ve done a really good job at navigating and getting back to who I am and recognizing the beauty. I’m trusting myself a lot more,” she said.
With this revelation, the “Waves” songstress has demonstrated how the power of staying true to oneself and refusing to conform to anyone's standards can be beneficial, even with the challenges she has encountered.
Normani’s debut album, Dopamine is out now.
