Persistent negative thinking

Updated: Jun 15


"persistent negative thinking” = A lust for results


One of the primary reasons (perhaps even the top reason) for slow progress or outright failure is the habit of constantly fixating on the problem at hand. This tendency can hinder results significantly.


Another issue I encounter is what I'd call "persistent negative thinking." It's when you engage in behavior that you know isn't helpful, yet you do it anyway. Imagine someone complaining about not losing weight while consistently overeating and consuming unhealthy foods. A related problem is "fault-projecting negative thinking," where you blame others for your actions. For instance, blaming a friend for always choosing fast food, which supposedly causes your weight issues. However, you ultimately control your response to external influences.


Negative thinking is akin to apathy, and it can lead down the path of craving results. By not taking action or responsibility, you remain stuck in a place you don't want to be, often causing frustration and fueling that desire for immediate outcomes.


Now, let's explore the concept of the


"Clock of Destructive thinking."

This occurs when you set an exact time limit on something, inadvertently inviting failure. For instance, saying, "If my ex doesn't return within a week, my spellwork failed." By thinking this way, you create an energy that attracts failure by that specific date. It's frustrating, but you have control over it.


If you find yourself counting days—whether it's exactly 2 weeks ago at 2:30 PM or 42 days ago at 11 AM you're falling into the trap. This behavior, known as "death clocking," delays your desired outcomes. Instead, focus on letting go, stop fixating on time, and allow your spellwork to manifest naturally. Refusing to do so is a form of dedicated negative thinking, which won't serve you well.


Remember, patience and positive energy play a crucial role in achieving your goals!


An article on the topic of "persistent negative thinking" wouldn't be complete without addressing the draining effects of negativity and insecurity. While it's undoubtedly exhausting for you, it also repels others. People don't want to be around someone who saps their energy just through interaction. Even if you've been emotionally traumatized, try to avoid sulking and instead focus on your blessings. Doing so can boost your mood and make you more attractive to others.


Remember this: If we all threw our problems into a collective pile, you'd quickly grab your own back when you saw how much worse other people's problems are. Many individuals tend to exaggerate the severity of their own issues. For instance, shedding tears over someone heart-reacting to a rival's new selfie is hardly worth it, let alone spending hours on it. If you suspect you're guilty of this (and most of us are at times), remind yourself of that proverbial problem pile. It'll reassure you that you're doing better than many others, and things aren't as desperate as they might seem.


Now, let's talk about desperation the world's worst "cologne." When seeking love or trying to rekindle it, avoid acting desperate. Desperate people tend to social media stalk, over-communicate, and get upset over minor slights. Instead, maintain balance and self-respect.


Lastly, consider this: Love spells may make someone feel affectionate toward you, but they won't magically transform them into a kind, thoughtful, or honest person. Affection isn't the same as loyalty or fidelity. Keep that in mind as you navigate matters of the heart.
