　　 “Always”．“Never”．These are probably the two most powerful words in the English language． Even more powerful than yes and n0，since saying yes(or no)applies to the moment or subject at hand， while sayin9“always"or“never"sets the tone for everything to come．①
　　 The two words can be powerful in a beneficial way，or in an adversely negative way．If you use“always”in affirmations such as“I am always increasing my level of joy and aliveness”，0r“I am always growing nearer and nearer to my divine reality”。0r“I am always at the right place at the right time”， etc．，then these uses of the word“always”become an empowerment．⑦However，when we use the word“always”in negative situations。such as“I always get it wron9”，0r“I always catch a cold”，etc．then we are“creating our reality”in a powerful way．
　　 The use of the word ALWAYS is very powerful，so is the use of NEVER．While I encourage you to find empowering ways to use the word“always”。I also encourage you to 0drop completely the word NEVER．One cannot use that word positively?Even if you say“I never catch a cold”，0r“My husband never cheats on me”，0r whatever，the focus is still on something you don’t want in your life—a cold，a cheating husband，etc．It is better to replace those statements(and thoughts)with“I am always healthy”．0r if you’re not quite comfortable with that statement，then say“Each day，I get healthier and healthier”．④Or rather than focus on the picture of a cheating husband，better to focus on“My husband is always faithful to me”。0r“My husband and I are faithful and honest with each other．”④
　　 You can ask your subconscious to help you root out your use of the word“always”and the word“never”．Ask your subconscious to alert you when you use those words whether in thought or conversation．When you catch yourself“creating your reality”in a way that does not meet your highest vision of a happy life。then rephrase your thought or statement．If you find yourself sayin9“I always’ followed by a negative projection，you could，at the least，replace the“always’’with“in the past，I…”(omitting the word always or never)．In this way，you at least keep that picture tied to your past，and free your future for something which is more in keeping with your dreams and vision for yourself．I leave you with these thoughts：May you always be blessed with many wonder-full experiences．May your heart always be full of love for yourself and for others．So be it!
