It has been said by many that one must state affirmations in the present tense.

For example, "I am in a perfect state of health," or "I am financially abundant."

However, it is said by others that doing this is counterproductive, for it tricks one's subconscious into believing that these things are already true, and therefore nothing needs to be done to achieve these results because they are already present.

What is your opinion on this?
