For years, I have given my thoughts power through vocalizing what I wanted as I already had it in my possession. For example, every day of my life, regardless of what my bank account looked like, I said, “I am wealthy.” There have been times I said that statement when my bank account was overdrawn, but I continued to say it without any idea of where the wealth would come from. I said it and I said it until it became true, which means my words manifested into tangible reality. 

I remember this one instance vividly. Many years ago, my father asked me what I was planning to do with my life as I was a bit of a screw up at the time. Without any reservation, something came over me and my answer was, “I am writing a metaphysics book.” He looked at me like I was the biggest dumbass he had ever laid eyes on. I went on to tell people throughout the years that I was an author. I did this at times when I was unemployed and had never written one word about anything much less a whole book. Well, my first book is being published and it will be on the stands by March. 

When I was single, and in and out of toxic relationships with men, I started telling people I had met my soulmate partner. I vocalized this even though that man was NOWHERE in sight. Again, just like my father did, people looked at me like I was crazy, but I continued to repeat that. I told people, “This man I have met is as close to perfect as a person can get.” In 2013, I met him. In 2015, I married him. 

My husband and I have done this exercise jokingly for years. We have conversations that are totally fake. We talk about travel plans for my book signings in New York City as if those have already been scheduled. Many of these “fake” conversations we have had have come true. For example, for the past two years, we have talked about our dream home as if we already had it. Guess what? We just bought it. The house is everything we dreamed about and more. 

Try this out. Today, I am sure you will have conversations with people. If there is something you really want, work it into the conversation and vocalize it to the other person as if you already have it. Saying you are something out loud is a powerful action step to getting what you want. If you happen to be alone all day and do not have opportunities to conversate with others, play pretend. Have these conversations on your own. Trust the process and have fun with it.
