Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is a simple and effective way to let go of the past, breakthrough patterns that no longer serve you, and live a happier life. It's part of a new class of positive psychology tools called energy psychology. These tools capitalise on the discovery that our bodies are interconnected with our thoughts and emotions in ways we have only recently begun to understand. This post discusses how EFT works, why it is so effective, and how you can start using it today to help you achieve your goals more easily. Discovery of EFT EFT is a form of energy psychology that utilises the body's natural ability to heal. EFT was developed by Dr. Roger Callahan, who first discovered it in the 1980s. The technique was then further enhanced by Gary Craig, who observed that certain body parts seem to hold memories and emotions from past experiences. By tapping on those points called meridians, he realised that he could alleviate physical pain and release emotional tra...

  To stop negative thoughts in their tracks, you must first be able to control your negative feelings about a situation or person. Negative feelings can be controlled in a variety of ways, and we'll show you a couple of tried-and-true techniques in this post. Become more self-aware First you must become aware of the exact instant your negative thoughts begin to stop them. To do so, observe your thoughts for unproductive, negative, or ultimately ego-centered scenarios and inner dialogues. Always pay attention to when and why your negative thoughts start. Self-awareness is key to stop any negative thoughts. So, if you're having a conversation with someone and you realise you're not paying attention because of negative thoughts, draw your focus back to what they're saying right away. When you're eating, concentrate on the flavours. Alternatively, engage in some mental activity. Negative thoughts won't be able to monopolise your thoughts if you don't pay a...

  Whether you believe it or not, letting go and moving on has a lot of power. We know it doesn't appear that way and understand that you are concentrating on the past at this time. You believe that if you keep thinking about what happened, you will be able to figure it out. Maybe if you think about it long enough, things will fall into place and you'll understand the pattern and explanation for the bad things that have happened in the past. So, let us ask you something. This probably isn't the first time you've considered that possibility but the tenth or hundredth time? What happened the days before when you were thinking this way? What happened the day before? The truth is that dwelling on the past will not assist you in any way. Life may be really difficult at times. However, if you are entirely honest with yourself, you will realise that your life is not a complete disaster, even though horrible things have happened in the past. Sure, you may be dissatisfied i...

  Setting goals is a normal part of life for most people. We've all been told to make objectives in our life, and we expect that we'll be able to accomplish them. Most of us, however, have never been taught how to develop objectives that are both realistic and attainable. It is critical to follow these fundamental rules if you want to begin setting realistic goals that you will be able to reach. #1. Make a list of your objectives If you write down your goals, you are much more likely to attain them. Writing down your goals makes them more tangible and makes it harder to change your mind. Having them written down and visible will enable you to visualize and reflect on them. #2. Establish Short-Term Goals When your goals appear to be too far away, you are more likely to procrastinate on completing the actions necessary to achieve them, and you will quickly lose motivation. Long-term objectives are fantastic, but to keep moving forward, you'll need to set smaller, shor...

  Occasionally, when our doubts, fears, and insecurities overwhelm us, we always come up with the thought, “I wish I were somebody else.” Often, we believe and believe that someone, or rather, most people, are superior to us - when, in reality, most people are more afraid than we are. For example, when noticing a stunning young lady sitting alone at a party, casually sipping on a glass of wine. You think to yourself, “she appears to be completely at ease and confident.” However, if you could read her mind, you would see a cloud of thoughts and she is thinking “are people discussing why I am seated alone here?... Why don’t men find me attractive?” I dislike my ankles; they appear too skinny... I wish I possessed the intellect of my best friend.”  We look at a young entrepreneur and think, “Wow... what else could he want?” He looks in the mirror and murmurs to himself, “I despise my gigantic eyes... I’m curious why my friends refuse to communicate with me... I’m hoping mom a...

  “Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.” – Abraham Lincoln To harness the power of positive thinking and become more positive, the first and most critical step is to cultivate a more positive mindset. Take care of your mental garden and then sow the seeds of a new way of thinking. However, developing a positive mindset requires practice. Similar to how runners train their bodies to withstand prolonged periods of activity, you can train your mind to maintain positive thought and naturally gravitate toward pleasant experiences. At first, thinking positively may feel awkward or absurd (especially if you are the type of person who believes perky morning people are annoying). Remember, however, that the more you practice, the easier it becomes, and eventually, maintaining a positive mindset will become as natural as breathing. Positive thinking begins with a deliberate intention to notice and acknowledge the positivity in any situation. Once you recognise...

  Have you ever been ready to do something when that voice within your head begins to speak? What were you thinking at the time? That you're a terrible person. Nobody wants to speak with you? You will never be successful in life? Your inner voice is that unpleasant voice within your head that condemns, criticises, or belittles you. Your inner critic has a big influence on how you see yourself and how confident you are. You may feel ashamed, useless, or start to have low self-esteem if you don't know how to deal with your inner critic. Your inner critic may try to undermine everything you've achieved. Self-doubt and lack of confidence might be the result from that harsh inner critic. When you allow your inner critic to govern too many of your actions, it might prevent you from achieving your full potential, growth, and connections with others. Even though the way we think has an impact on how we act, our thoughts are not always right. Never forget that you become what you ...

  Optimism is a four-syllable word that can be difficult to come by in a world dealing with a pandemic. But, believe it or not, you, too, can tap into your surroundings and unearth a treasure trove of feel-good. Here are a few suggestions that will help you: #1:  Find a source of laughter . Laughter is easy to come by these days. There is no shortage of memes, videos, vines, and other things to make you laugh on YouTube and social media. You could also watch a good movie, perform stand-up comedy, or hang out with funny people. Laughter will make you smile and make you feel good. This leads us to our next point. #2:  Ditch the frown.  It may seem counterintuitive that something as simple as smiling can improve your mood, but studies have linked outward displays of happiness to an internal shift. Use a mirror to practise smiling, even if it feels cheesy, stupid and unauthentic. Hold your smile for a minute, two minutes, five minutes, or however long you can. Begin ...

  Are you always aware of what other people might think of you and as a result do not lead the life you are supposed to? You are not the only one because this is a widespread concern that affects people in all societies.  According to scientists, this concern stems from evolution. At one point, being excluded from the group meant certain death like in the animal kingdom. You could not possibly have survived on your own 30,000 years ago. You required assistance. It was beneficial to be concerned with how others perceived you. However, you no longer have to rely on a village to feed you or keep you safe. You have transport.  At the store, you can purchase food. You are not required to combat the savages in another village. Those days are behind us. Knowing the following will assist you in letting go of outdated programming and living life on your own terms: 1. Almost no one is truly concerned about you except your family and friends From the moment we enter school to ...

  What are the requirements for success? You may believe that having a lot of money and influential friends are required. There is, however, a more critical aspect that is both free and within your grasp. Your most significant resource maybe your belief in yourself. It has a substantial influence on your actions and experiences. It's a way of thinking that motivates you and helps you achieve your objectives. You are allowed to have happiness and fulfilment. Try this proven method to boost your self-confidence. Increasing Your Self-Belief When you're unsure, remember that confidence is a talent you can learn. You may have to fake it at times, but you'll come to accept and trust yourself more over time. To boost your self-assurance, try the following suggestions: 1. Take stock of your accomplishments. It's all too easy to lose sight of how far you've come. Give yourself credit for your monumental achievements as well as the daily progress you make. 2. Estab...
