Positive Thinking Works Better With Emotional Freedom Technique

Nothing comes under as much scrutiny in the world of self-improvement at the concept of positive thinking. The cynical say that just believing in something doesn’t necessarily make it true while the more optimistic admit that they don’t always turn the positive thinking into positive action.

Positive thinking doesn’t always work because thinking positively might only be going on on the surface while deeper negative beliefs persist. Just one deep-seated negative belief is enough to stop you from taking the right kind of action.

Positive Thinking never achieved anything on it’s own anyway. Positive Action is what you need, and you can’t have that without Positive Thinking. But it’s at the point of Positive Action that Positive Thinking starts to fail.

That’s because the action exposes the negative belief. Taking action forces you to swim through the swirling cesspool. So Positive Thinking only becomes effective when you also get rid of all your conflicting beliefs. You must drain the cesspool, at least until you can comfortably wade through it.

If you can totally focus on your goal and your positive thoughts, it is possible to battle through all your negative beliefs. This is how most people live their lives. But it’s REALLY hard work! That’s because negative beliefs are really negative thoughts attached to negative feelings. So when you push through the belief, you take action that conflicts with the thought, and that brings up the feeling. Working through things like this because incredibly draining, and the negative feelings don’t tend to really change, so they are there next time you do the same thing.

As always, Tapping makes it a hell of a lot easier. If, when you take action, you look for the negative feelings that come up, and tap them away, the negative thoughts vanish. You realise that the thoughts didn’t come from the reality of the situation, they were just your mind’s way of rationalising the feeling.

When you take the time to identify all the negative thoughts and feelings that conflict with your Positive Thinking, and Tap them away, holding onto the positive worldview becomes effortless, and taking Positive Action - the real key to success in anything - becomes automatic.
