YOU ARE GOD. So Is “Just Decide its Done” Enough?

Summary

Athena Raven argues that “just decide it’s done” can sometimes feel effortless, but the words alone are not what make a decision powerful. What matters, in her view, is whether the desired outcome has become an accepted inner conclusion—or whether deciding is being used as another strategy to try to get it.

She distinguishes three kinds of decisions:

• Deciding what you want: Choosing a goal, such as a relationship, more money, or a particular job. This may not change your underlying beliefs.
• Deciding what you’ll do: Committing to a technique or to “living in the end.” You may still feel that you are trying to obtain something you lack.
• Deciding what you accept as true: The outcome feels settled internally. Doubts or unwanted circumstances may still arise, but they do not have to become a new conclusion about yourself or the outcome.

Raven says that the perceived size of a desire is not the main issue. She believes that a person’s assumptions, identity, past experiences, and emotional investment affect how natural the desired outcome feels.

She shares personal anecdotes about a specific person returning and a chronic skin condition resolving after she made a firm decision. These are presented as her experiences, not as medical guidance or a substitute for care.

Reflection Questions

Consider these questions honestly:

• Did I decide the outcome was mine, or decide to try to make it happen?
• When circumstances seem to contradict my desire, do I return to my conclusion or fall back into old assumptions?
• Am I repeating “I decided” because I feel settled, or because I need reassurance?
• Has my sense of who I am in relation to this desire changed, or do I still see myself as trying to become that person?

Practical Techniques and Self-Care Suggestions

• Don’t force belief through more and more techniques. If the decision does not feel settled, work gently with your thoughts rather than pressuring yourself.
• Redirect habitual mental imagery. When you notice yourself replaying worries or “what if” scenarios, gently imagine a scene that implies the desired outcome has already happened.
• Try inner conversations. Imagine what you might naturally say—or what a friend might say—if the wish had been fulfilled.
• Acknowledge past successes. Write down and revisit things that have gone well or that you believe you have manifested, even if they seem small or happened long ago.
• Experiment with a list method. Raven recommends Joseph Alai’s list method as a short, structured way to notice patterns in your assumptions and experiences.
• Participate actively in reflection. She invites viewers to write about their successes and suggests taking a comfortable pause—such as relaxing with a warm drink and a notebook—before doing the exercises.

The overall message is that a decision may begin a shift or mark its completion. Either way, Raven emphasizes changing the inner position or identity from which a person relates to the desired outcome, rather than relying on a phrase alone.
