This reminds me a few months ago when Roxie Nafousi \u2013 the author of Manifest: 7 Steps to Living Your Best Life<\/em> and an individual who has arguably spearheaded the concept of manifestation into the mainstream \u2013 hosted her first live show here in Dubai, sharing her insider thoughts into how to help you \u201clive your best life\u201d. But it was one simple change in the way we speak that she discussed which really does kickstart this change in mindset. When it comes to the everyday jargon you speak to yourself, instead of saying \u201cI have to\u201d why not switch it around to \u201cI get to\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cI get to work out.\u201d The list goes on\u2026<\/p>\n This is where gratitude becomes our most powerful tool, our internal compass guiding us towards abundance rather than lack and this is exactly what the 13th issue of GRAZIA explores under the theme \u201cLaws of Attraction\u201d. It\u2019s a term which was first officially harnessed by author William Walker Atkinson in his book Thought Vibration: The Law Of Attraction In The Thought World<\/em>, which arguably paved the way for a new age of thought and discourse.<\/p>\n Essentially, what this encompasses is what we cultivate within ourselves, we inevitably bring into our lives. It is not a mere philosophy but an energy and we can choose to move with it or against. This issue is dedicated to that energy, to the intricate push and pull that defines relationships, ideas and movements.<\/p>\n Scientifically speaking, harnessing gratitude in your life is said to have a deep-rooted impact on the way we, as humans, function which we explore in \u2018Mind Over Matter\u2019 on page 122. \u201cThis interplay between our mental state and physical health underscores the importance of cultivating a positive mindset,\u201d Dr Mona Youssri, senior clinical psychologist and family counsellor at Maison Sant\u00e9 tells GRAZIA, adding, \u201cThoughts and emotions have profound physiological effects.\u201d<\/p>\n In a similar vein, as we celebrate the Holy Month of Ramadan, it\u2019s a time for reflection, inward thinking and gratitude. To mark this special time in the Islamic calendar, GRAZIA spoke to some of the most inspiring women in the region about the rituals they practise during Ramadan and what makes it a poignant time for them in \u2018Rituals of Renewal\u2019 on page 78. \u201cIt\u2019s a time to cleanse not only the body but also the soul, by focusing on positive actions, seeking forgiveness, and practising gratitude,\u201d Amina Taher explains in her passage.<\/p>\n For GRAZIA\u2019s 13th edition, Palestinian-Jordanian singer and songwriter Zeyne graces the cover. If you want to talk about a meteoric rise in the music industry, look no further than Zeyne. Initially set to explore a completely different trajectory for herself, the singer is a testament to the power of dreaming and the subconscious mind, which we delve deeper into in her cover shoot and profile on page 200.<\/p>\n \u201cWhatever is meant for you, is for you for sure,\u201d she declared when I sat down with her. \u201cI\u2019m a firm believer that everything is written in life, and whatever happens is not rejection, it\u2019s redirection. But at the same time, I\u2019m also adamant on making things happen and making sure that I always believe in myself. I believe [things] happen in a state of flow and not resistance.\u201d<\/p>\n So, while it may sound cheesy or like an eye-roll statement, why not try starting your day by practising gratitude? I may never 100 per cent be a morning person, but when that 6.30am alarm goes off tomorrow, I\u2019ll be choosing an attitude of gratitude and I urge you to do so, too.<\/p>\n Enjoy the issue.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI get to go to work.\u201d
\n\u201cI get to spend time with friends and family.\u201d
\n\u201cI get to experience new things.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"GRAZIA](\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2025\/03\/zeyne-coverIG.jpg\")
