You don’t believe in affirmations? The self-help books about the power of positive thinking don’t work for you? What do you make of the following quote?
“Personal optimism correlates strongly with self-esteem, with psychological well-being and with physical and mental health. Optimism has been shown to be correlated with better immune systems in healthy people who have been subjected to stress.”
When crafting ones wishes, one should have at least some minor element of realism.
Also, your wish should be something your subconscious can help you with. For example, instead of wishfully thinking about money appearing in your bank account, you could wishfully think about finding it on the sidewalk. Or, alternatively you could wishfully think about yourself as a money magnet.
If you previously did not bear such points in mind, you might want to consider revisiting the technique, to see if you can make something of it. Unless you figure you are already too optimistic, that is.

This is not the kind of wishful thinking I was talking about: I was talking about wishing for $1000 and it just appearing in your bank account.
