Consciousness
Consciously eliminating the word 'if' from one's vocabulary and inner speech, especially when related to desires, to prevent the introduction of doubt and future-tense thinking.
Another important word to watch is “if.” The conscious mind is very subtle in expressing doubt (Satan or the Devil). We may be able to keep our minds focused on what we want by using positive “I” statements. If we are not careful, we may let a little “If” sneak in without recognizing its implication. We could say, “I feel wonderful” but then follow it with “If the pain continues, however, I will see a doctor on Tuesday.” “If’s” are always followed by something negative and that is simply doubt creeping in to steal the good seed we have sown. Remove the word “if” from your vocabulary, as it is not productive of that which you would like to reap. “If” puts everything in the past or future tense, and I always experience what I believe I am. I am is not future tense. Getting well is not being well. I must believe that I am already what I want to be.
The word 'if' subtly expresses doubt and places the desired state in a conditional future, thereby negating the present 'I AM' reality and hindering manifestation. Removing it reinforces the belief in present possession.
How To Manifest Your Desires
Eliminate the word 'if' from one's vocabulary and inner conversations. Recognize 'if' as a subtle form of doubt that negates positive 'I AM' statements and prevents the assumption of the wish fulfilled in the present tense. Instead, affirm the desired state as already existing.

The word 'if' introduces conditionality and future-tense thinking, which is contrary to the principle that 'I AM' creates in the present. By removing 'if', one strengthens their belief and commitment to the present reality of their desired state, preventing doubt from undermining their creative efforts.
