Hi Vicky,

I do think there is more going on here than just the words. The words are just a tool to access some of the underlying magic. But this does seem to be working magic for me...

For instance, I have been fixated on money the last week or so. When I focus on the sensations in my body, they are very tense, worried, and anxious. So I've boiled it all down to associate this sensation and any one of a dozen worrisome thoughts with the phrase "I don't have enough money."

So then as I am repeating this phrase over and over, I let my attention drift to what having enough money would look like. For instance, if I had enough money I would be able to afford some upcoming business expenses. And then I remember a line of credit that I haven't used yet, and get that set up. So I have manifested that RIGHT NOW I actually have enough money.

Or this morning my husband tells me that we have used up his paycheck already and won't be able to afford some urgent car repairs. So I think "I don't have enough money" and then I get my paycheck in the mailbox that day and a friend helps me reduce the cost of the repairs. Again manifesting enough money RIGHT NOW.

Sometimes I go in the direction that "I don't have enough money to feel safe" or "I don't have enough money to feel confident" but then I can easily see that the root of this is the desire to feel safe and confident. So while observing "I am not safe, I am not confident" I can visualize what it would feel like to feel safe and confident. There is less conflict with the ego than if I were affirming "I am safe, I am confident".

Sorry I went off on my own tangent! On topic of terminology, I think you may be right and using "choose" may be more powerful. I'll give it a try and see what my ego thinks of it!
