If you have a big goal or one that seems a challenge, then you would focus on it being real now and that's great, but the past reality will undermine that goal, so as well as seeing you have the goal now, actually see you had it yesterday as well.

Then the past has been rewritten and it gives the present more creative power, so not only do you have your desire now, but you had it yesterday and the day before and way back as far as you desire. So you can build the future not just with the now, but you overwhelm the possibility of attainment by already having the goal achieved already through the past.

Keep in mind that the past has a lot of power over most people and while the power of now is great, the past is just and mostly always more powerful. In truth the past is only thought anyway, it's power relies on you believing it happened as you remember.

Memories are thoughts and any thought can be changed including the ones that you think build the past.

I have read several articles that mentioned the concept of not only "acting as if" , but "acting as if it always was". The idea being that for some people "acting as if" would still cause dissonance but if you can get yourself to imagine that it always has been the way you want it, you would 'vibrate' or emit an energetic signature more congruent with your desire. The acting as if still creates a longing instead of a having feeling.
