Smile Endlessly

Smile more with EFT

The Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) are a simple tool with the potential for enormous benefits. More and more people are discovering EFT's power and are using EFT to feel better. There are few who would deny that there is reason for higher levels of stress today than in our most recent past.

Yet some try EFT for an issue, get results, and don't continue to use it for other issues. In spite of the fact that it takes less than a minute to apply EFT to a problem, not enough actually embrace it's use whole heartedly.  Mediation is another simple tool and though many have tried it and experienced profound results, few actually practice on a regular basis.  Rhythmic Breath work is also simple, yet again few take the art of conscious breathing up as a daily practice.

I want to state that while EFT is easy in it's application, those with the highest motivation, are most likely to persist in it's use. For instance, War Veterans are applying EFT successfully and getting free from the debilitating effects of Post Traumatic Stress Disorders using only these tapping techniques. See www.eftforvets.com  to learn about the video that tells the story titled, Operation: Emotional Freedom, The Answer.

Do we learn to accept these lives full of stress, like the frog who stays in the slowly heating water until death when it could easily jump out and get free? do we too often stay with that which is emotionally familiar? are we ever emotionally free? are we interested in emotional freedom? do we realize when we are not emotionally free?  is emotional freedom the big answer to stress? can we chose emotional freedom?   I think we can and while EFT is not the only answer,  it is An Answer.

Use Emotional Freedom Techniques and jump out of your hot water.

Feel Good Right Now

Your thoughts can make you smile and your thoughts can cause you to frown and you always have a choice about what you think, no matter what you think when you read that sentence. Whereby most of us believe that on some level we can choose how we look at a situation, we might find that difficult to apply, when a stress situation starts taking over.  For instance when we are caught in a traffic jam on the freeway and the next exit of escape is ten miles up the road and we are inching along slower than we could leisurely walk.

It's wise to have a pre practiced mental escape plan for such aggravating situations. Just like we have to practice a fire escape plan in order to avoiding rushing out the front door in a fire emergency and getting burned. The mind needs to be prepared through practice. One person that I know carried a bottle of bubbles in her glove compartment, as insurance for aggravating Chicago traffic jams. She would simply open her window and blow bubbles for others to enjoy.  She began to enjoy those precious opportunities to be the entertainment amidst the freeway traffic jams. Children would point to the bubbles and laugh and adults would lighten up at least for a few moments.

The mental condition called hypnosis is defined by the state of hightened suggestibility or the ability to accept new information. Several conditions open the mind for hypnotic suggestion. One state is relaxation and another is pain. When we are in physical or emotional pain we are much more receptive to new methods of getting beyond the pain. Aggravation is an emotionally painful event and can be a time of hightened suggestibility. Hence the bubbles of distraction carried the ability to change a mind state because the hypnotic trance of aggravation was likely present.

So the next time you find yourself in a traffic jam consider taking out that bottle of bubbles and entertain your mind. You might just find that a life changing hypnotic event has taken place that will serve you well in other times of aggravation, for you will have opened up to a new thought and a positive solution for enduring what you cannot change anyway.

The mind is a precious gift and must not be squandered on negative thoughts. Each morning set your intention to have a productive happy day. Chances are you will find yourself smiling endlessly.
