Sorry I'm not clear, what are you worried about?

Cherished, I was concerned if acting as if and telling myself that the law of attraction is working on the unseen( days where I need some Affirmations to remind myself that loa is working)  is it  contradicting anything  because I'm  acting as if on one hand and then reminding myself that things are working  when at times I need to remind myself  to stay in alignment.  Hope that made sense.

I think you're doing to right thing as well. But the point gets to you act as if, so you can focus on the real things, like make yourself a completely awesome person for when he comes back. So once you affirm he is coming, you'll start seeing, oh wait, i need to get stronger, live life to the fullest, sing, dance, get a hobby, have something worth talking about for that first date ;)

It's fine. This is more a way of life than a process.  So you need to practice, as with anything new.  It's about reaching for better feelings as much as you can,  and doing the things that you really enjoy.  While there are times you will focus exclusively on acting as if,  the rest of your day should be dedicated to improving your overall vibe/dominant thoughts.
