From FML to LML: The Magic Motto
This one simple motto can transform your life, take the 30 day challenge to see for yourself.
Several years ago, I caught myself saying FML (fuck my life) way too often. I didn’t actually mean it, of course—it was just something I’d say flippantly, without thinking. But once I became aware of how frequently those words were leaving my mouth, it hit me hard.
I know how powerful our words are. I teach this stuff! The things we say shape our reality, and here I was, carelessly reinforcing a negative mindset. Even though I’d always said it jokingly, I realized that I was unconsciously programming myself to focus on what wasn’t working instead of what was.
That’s when I decided to flip it.
I replaced FML with LML—“Love My Life.” Every time I caught myself about to say those words, or that acronym, I’d swap it for I love my life! And I didn’t just mumble it—I said it out loud, with energy, even when I wasn’t feeling it. Especially when I wasn’t feeling it actually.
And something wild started happening.
The more I repeated it, the more I felt it. I started waking up feeling lighter. My stress levels dropped. I found myself actually looking forward to the day instead of dreading it. That simple shift in language was rewiring my mindset—pulling me into that effortless “flow state” where life feels easier and things just… click.
And when that happens? Manifesting magic begins.
Suddenly, unexpected abundance started showing up. Opportunities I never saw coming landed in my lap. The right people entered my life at exactly the right time. It was as if the universe had been waiting for me to change my tune—and the moment I did, everything started falling into place.
The more I said I love my life, the more I genuinely LOVED my life.
This is the power of our words. It’s a reminder that what we speak, we create. So, what if you tried it? What if, instead of venting about what’s wrong, you started affirming and calling amazingness into your life? Even if it feels forced at first, give it time. Say it with energy. Say it when you least feel like it. And then watch what happens.
Since then, I’ve challenged hundreds of my clients to say this motto as many times a day as possible for 30 days—and I’m always blown away by how quickly it brings magic, abundance, love, laughter, blessings, opportunities, and countless reasons for them to genuinely love their life.
Your words are shaping your reality—so choose the ones that build the life you actually want. Give this a try and let me know in the comments if it worked for you too!
