Freedom from Fear and my experimental journey with EFT

What if I told you that instead of using positive affirmations such as “I love to eat carrot sticks! I love to eat carrot sticks!” when you are craving chocolate ooey goey brownies, you could tap on a few parts of your body, acknowledge the craving, and then POOF, the craving would be gone? I know it sounds a little odd. I know it sounds a little weird, very janky, and possibly even absurd… BUT… have you heard about the claims of the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)??

Top 3 Reasons a Thought Journal Will Help You Lose Weight

I haven’t been able to run since I was in 4th grade. I was laughed at for being slow in PE and the humiliation was a bit more than I could process intelligently at the time. Throughout the years, I did EVERYTHING I could to avoid feeling that “bad” feeling of humiliation. Most of the time, I wouldn’t say I was afraid of being humiliated, I would say, “I hate running. I can’t run.” The emotion of humilation affected my attitude (I can’t) and ultimately has lead me to this place, where at 25 years of age not knowing exactly why I haven’t been able to get the weight off. The truth is… I CAN run… and, dare I say – I am learning to enjoy it? Had I been honest about my emotions in a thought journal I could have squashed this self defeating attitude before it wasted 10 years of my life.
