Send us Fan MailHi. Welcome back to the Aging Mask Podcast. A lifestyle medicine podcast where together we explore lifestyle, wellness, and our everyday choices that shape the way we age.I am Joanne DemersYour weekly wellness companion.Thank you for listening.What do you think of when I say Abracadabra?Do you immediately think of a magician standing on stage waiving his wand, and performing magic? A word used to represent magic, mystery, & entertainment?Or did you immediately think of the famous abracadabra song by Steve Miller-who used the word to express something spellbound or irresistible?Either way, most of us do associate the word abracadabra with magic, mystery and entertainment. BUT what if I told you that long before magicians and musicians borrowed the word- Abracadabra carried a much deeper meaning? For centuries , Abracadabra was actually associated with the power of language and the belief that words possess influence & power.Abracadabra means …“ I create as I speak.”Think about that..“I create as I speak.Not create in a magical sense.But create through beliefs.Through perceptionThrough identityAnd through our everyday choices.Whether we realize it or not, we are constantly creating something with our words.We are creating stories and expectations, and we are creating limitations or possibilities.We are creating the way we see ourselves and the way we move through the world.Think about it this way…Before we become anything we speak about it first.Our words are not just sounds coming out of our mouths but forces that help shape our beliefs, our actions, our confidence, our relationships and ultimately our lives. So today, we are going to explore abracadabra not as magic, and not lyrics, but as a reminder that what we repeatedly speak, our words, Influence the person we become.It’s funny think about words.Words don’t weigh anythingYou can’t hold them in your handsYou can’t measure them on a scaleYet, words have the power to change the course of your life.Now, does science prove that we can magically create our lives simply by speaking something out loud?NO.BUT.It does show that the stories we repeatedly tell ourselves influence how we think, how we act, and how we respond to challenges.What gives words their power is not their sound, but the impact they have on our mind.The words we use internally shape the direction we move in. Overtime, our words influence our confidence, motivation and our willingness to engage with challenge or change.This is not because words directly produce outcomes- but because they contribute to our internal mindset that determines whether we approach life with avoidance or engagement.Words help you create the person who will either moves forward toward possibility, or away from it.Pursue the outcome or avoid it.I don’t think most of us realize how often we predict our own future with the words we use.The words we speak determine whether we move toward something, or away from something.Possibility Matters- Possibility matters because when we believe growth is possible, we tend to take action.· We try· We practice· We learnAnd· We improveOur words become the doorway through which action enters.. a lot of us unknowingly close that door to action before we even take the first step.Every day we are speaking something over our lives.A possibilityOr A limitation.A door openingOr a door closing.And more often than not. We dont realize which one we are choosing until years down the road -when we look back and see where those words have taken us.Now, let me be clear.. when I say“words create our reality”- it’s not about magical thinking, we can’t simple sayabracadabra and make it appear or disappear…*words don’t change the weather*they don’t erase challenges*And words don’t magically make life easy.But our words definitely influence how we experience the world around us.Words influence thoughtThought influences behaviorandBehavior influences outcomesAbracadabra, “I create as I speak”. Maybe the real meaning isn’t that words magically create our lives. Maybe, it’s that our words help create the person who creates our life.And that person is You.Please, please understand that words possess power, a lot of power. And even more than words, repetition is powerful.I think a lot of us underestimate how powerful repeated words really are.What we repeatedly say becomes what we repeatedly believe, and what we repeatedly believe, influences what we repeatedly do.And overtime, repetition shapes our perceptions, influences our expectations, and reinforces the stories we tell ourselves about who we are and what is possible.Our mind pays attention to what it hears all the time. And once your mind absorbs repetition, especially emotional repetition, your brain listens, your nervous system listens, your relationship listens, kids listen, and even your body listens -then your mind & body respond to the ...
