Here is another tip....I was doing this wrong too, lol!
“Present. The subconscious only recognizes the present. So avoid phrases like I want to be . . . or I am getting . . . or I will be. . . . Avoid anything that takes you out of today. Other future-sounding phrases to avoid are: I am going to, I will, and I should. You want to tell yourself that you are a certain way, not that you will eventually be that way. Avoid can and could or would. These words suggest that you could be a certain way if you wanted to, but you might not want to. Just because you can be something doesn’t mean that you are. The idea is to train the subconscious to think of you in terms of what you are (what you want to be), not what you can be.”
