A little hocus pocus

Keep it slow and simple with a little hocus pocus

Do you believe in magic? How about spells? A little alchemy maybe? Some enchantment, surely.

Or, may we suggest some hocus pocus? Yes, it’s a sleight of hand. A diversion. Some words spoken to redirect the listener’s attention. And yes, we think there’s no better time than now to try it out.

Words are a powerful magic. They can change hearts, minds, attitudes, and outcomes. What if you intentionally directed your magic words to make every single person you encounter today feel like a million bucks?

“What a lovely shirt,” you’ll say. “You are so brave,” you’ll announce. “Your eyes are the color of falls leaves,” you’ll coo. And just like that, you cast little spells—diversions that pay dividends and redirections that work their magic.

And once you’ve seen the power of your hocus pocus on others, break out your most powerful enchantments for the marvelous magician in the mirror.
