Arguing With A Negative Thought Is What Keeps The Cycle Going

The Small Comment That Replays All Evening

It usually starts with something small. A remark in a meeting, a message that hasn’t been answered or a plan that didn’t go the way it was meant to. By the trip home the thought has arrived: this always happens, and nothing ever works out.

Most sensible people know better than to believe a thought like that, so they argue with it. They list the reasons it isn’t true and tell themselves to look on the bright side, and sometimes that works for a few minutes. Then the next thought arrives, a little different and just as heavy, and the argument starts again.

By bedtime the whole evening has gone on that argument, and the lesson most people draw is that they need to be stricter with their thoughts.

(If an evening of replaying isn’t where it shows up for you, the same pattern can sit behind the quiet assumption that a new plan won’t work, or a good day that still somehow feels flat.)

“A lot of people struggle with negative thinking but don’t realize it. They go about their day with unhealthy thought patterns that are buried deep in their subconscious.”

Steve’s own life once gave him plenty to feel negative about, with $80,000 of credit card debt and an eviction that left him living out of his office. What he did with his mind at that point is further down this page, and it’s the idea this track is built on.

What Steve says next explains why the argument never ends. These patterns “silently run in the background like a program on auto-pilot. This makes it easy for negative thinking to hijack someone’s beliefs and actions.”

Arguing with a thought happens up front, in the conscious mind, one thought at a time. The pattern that produces the thoughts sits underneath, in the subconscious, and it keeps running while you argue. Win one round and the program sends the next thought, so all that effort goes into answering what comes out while the source carries on untouched.

And arguing feels like the right thing to do, which is why it’s so hard to put down, because it looks like taking charge. Every round still keeps the attention on the negative, and that keeps the cycle going, over and over.

A fair name for it is the Endless Rebuttal, where every thought gets a fresh answer and the thoughts keep coming. It catches thoughtful, self-aware people most of all, because they notice their thoughts and want to do something about them, so a heavy evening says nothing about anyone’s character. The cause is the background program running underneath, and replacing that program is the job this track was designed for.

From $80,000 In Debt And Living Out Of His Office To Self-Made Multimillionaire

Steve lost his mother at an early age and grew up with his father, who battled alcohol abuse.

Later in life he went through a lot of career detours and failed business ventures, and he soon found himself $80,000 in credit card debt. Financial institutions and collection agencies were beating down on his door. He held on as long as he could, until he was evicted from his own place and had to live out of his office, which he was about to lose as well.

Think about what getting up for work looks like when the office is also where you live, and you know it’s about to go too. That was where things turned for Steve. He discovered a way to reprogram his mind to attract everything he needed, and to put systems in place that got his life back on track.

He used a combination of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) techniques and a specific framework for happiness and success, and from it he developed the Dream Life Mastery program for getting the results he wanted.

Today he’s a licensed Clinical Hypnotherapist and a self-made multimillionaire who manages 22 training certification programs in hypnosis and NLP.

When the debt and the eviction were at their worst, Steve’s answer was to reprogram his mind, and Stop Negative Thinking turns that same answer on negative thinking.

Linda Abramson wrote this about Steve’s work in general:

“fed up with the way things are now, this minute”

I would highly recommend you and your site to anyone who is fed up with the way things are now, this minute, and want to open a new door to a new path. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Gratitude Lists And Affirmations Need A Mind That Leans The Same Way

The positive thinking advice is worth following, and many people follow it faithfully. They’ve kept gratitude lists and written affirmations, and they’ve caught themselves mid-complaint and turned it round, for as long as they could keep watching.

That advice is good, and gratitude matters: the track itself is designed to cultivate a mindset of gratitude. The difficulty is where the advice lands. It works in the conscious mind, while the pattern that keeps sending negative thoughts sits underneath, so each new habit has to be held in place by effort against an old program that runs without any.

Steve’s answer is to change the program itself. Stop Negative Thinking works underneath the advice, so the positive habits you build have a mind behind them that’s already leaning the same way.

A Year Of Evenings Spent Answering The Same Thoughts

These numbers only count the time spent going over negative thoughts, so leave everything else about your week as it is.

Those hours are only what can be counted. Negative thoughts distract us from our goals, and the evenings they take could have gone on something you enjoy.

Try your own numbers. While the background program stays as it is, those hours keep adding up.

The Thought Habits Stop Negative Thinking Is Designed To Build

Steve lists six benefits for the track. All of them work on the background program, and each of the five problems above has at least one aimed at it.
