Let’s start with an experiment.
Imagine you’re in front of your phone or computer, reading this article.
Now, try to stand up and get yourself a glass of water. Did you do it?
If you succeeded, that’s great, and I congratulate you! But you didn’t read my suggestion carefully. I didn’t tell you to stand up and get a glass of water—I told you to try.
If you didn’t succeed, I congratulate you for reading carefully! You didn’t succeed because your subconscious doesn’t fully process what comes after the word “try,” and that’s why it doesn’t act.
At the same time, by saying “try,” you’re signaling to the Universe to keep you in the same situation. The vibration of the word “try” is like moving “in a circle.” So don’t be surprised if your situation has felt stagnant for a long time.
Pay attention to how often you use the word “try” in a day, and you’ll find your explanation.
Do your best to replace it with “I test” or “I do.” You’ll notice a difference in no time.
Another word that sabotages you is “must.”
Think back to your childhood when your mom told you, “You must do this.” Didn’t you dislike it? The word “must” causes your subconscious to shut down energetically.
The transmission of information between neurons becomes fragile, and even if you manage to do the task, you often do it reluctantly. What alternatives do I use? I’ve noticed that replacing “I must do” with “It’s important to do” boosts my energy level because it sparks curiosity.
On an energetic level, you also reduce your connection to the Universe’s energy when you use the word “incredible.” You usually say “incredible” when something unexpected happens—like when the Universe responds to a thought or desire faster than you imagined.
But what are you really saying when you call it “incredible”? That you don’t quite believe it. And if you don’t believe, why would you keep receiving such synchronicities? Instead, express gratitude to the Universe for what you’ve received. Say “surprising,” and the synchronicities will multiply.
During therapy sessions, I often notice that clients’ first response to some questions is “I don’t know.” In reality, they don’t even give themselves a moment to check if they do know—they just reflexively say “I don’t know.”
Imagine you’re in a room lit by a small lamp, searching for something. What do you do to see better and find it faster? Do you turn off the lamp, or do you flip the switch to turn on the ceiling light too? When you say “I don’t know,” it’s like turning off the only light source—the lamp, in this case.
You might still find what you’re looking for in the dark, but it’ll take much longer. Instead, when a surprising question comes up, tell yourself, “Let’s see what answer I can find.”
That’s like turning on the ceiling light.
The word “want” keeps you at a distance from your desire. When you use it, you confuse your subconscious and the Universe. You’ve “wanted” so many things before and done nothing about them, so they didn’t happen. When you catch yourself saying “I want,” replace it with “I choose” or “I act,” and you’ll see what beautiful results you can achieve.
Sometimes my friends say, “Oh no, I feel so good!” and I’m not sure if they actually feel good or not. So I ask, “Is it ‘oh no,’ or is it ‘Wow, I feel so good’?” Only then do they realize what message they sent. Similarly, the phrase “I like it like crazy” throws your subconscious off—it doesn’t know how to guide you. It doesn’t want you to go crazy; it wants you to enjoy yourself.
There’s so much to say about becoming aware of the words we use. Today, I wrote about what came to mind. The conclusion is that your subconscious and the Universe don’t joke around. You receive what you ask for. Words are the remote control buttons you use to program your subconscious and send your desires to the Universe.
If you’re happy with the “movie” of your life, that’s great. If not, maybe it’s time to change the buttons on your remote.
Einstein said, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.”
And if you now catch yourself saying, “I’ve read some interesting things, but it’s hard to apply them,” then those things aren’t actually interesting to you.
Your subconscious cancels out everything before the word “but.”
