Our brain takes any information literally.
In hypnology, there is such a thing as organic language, and it means that our brain takes any information literally. For example, the expression "stretching your legs" means someone's death, but it also has a literal meaning that is perceived by the subconscious.

Hence the conclusions. Choose your words carefully when you think or speak so that their negative meaning (if any) does not show up in your life. Conversely, speak positively, unequivocally, specifically about your goals. That is, if you need a brick house near several birches with thick trunks, then you should express yourself this way, even if something is spinning on your tongue, such as "a cozy nest surrounded by golden-haired centenary beauties." Alternatively, imagine that you are telling your child about your dream ...
