Positive Affirmations & EFT - An Excellent Combination

Positive affirmations are short, positive statements that you repeat to yourself everyday over a period of time. These affirmations may be not be exactly true at the moment you are saying them. But after repeating them to yourself after a period of time, your subconscious mind will begin to believe them, and as a result, your internal beliefs about reality will change.

Your internal beliefs determine what your perception of reality is. When these internal beliefs change, your perception of reality does as well.

Affirmations are great for "installing" any empowering belief you would like to have that will make it easier for you to reach your goal. They work even without the use of EFT. But with EFT, they can be made much more powerful. Self improvement advice dealing with affirmations usually ask you to choose an affirmation related to your goal, and simply repeat it yourself everyday for some time period, until it becomes part of your belief system.

For example, you might repeat to yourself everyday:

"I am becoming more confident in public speaking"

Or even:

"I am a confident public speaker"

When you first begin to repeat these to yourself, they might not be true. You'll actually feel some kind of resistance to them inside of you. You might also hear an inner voice saying "Yeah right!"

But if you are persistent with affirming these statements for a period of time, they will eventually overcome the resistance and "sink in" your subconscious mind. It might sound strange, but the human mind is amazing that way.

Notice that I still didn't even bring up EFT yet. But I will now. Going back to the resistance topic, I said that if you keep affirming a certain positive statement to yourself for a period of time, these statements will overcome the resistance. The thing is, this might a take a while to happen. But since you now know about EFT, you can speed up the process by tapping on the resistance itself.

For example, going back to the public speaking issue, you might want tap on the resistance by saying:

"Even though I don't believe that I am a confident public speaker because I am still scared of it, I deeply and completely accept myself"

Do some rounds of tapping and repeat if necessary, then try affirming again. Is the resistance still there? If it is, then do some more tapping. If it's gone, then be sure that your positive affirmations now have become way more effective.

I love helping people overcome any limiting belief that is holding them back from reach their potential. I do this by using EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques). My website is always updated with free articles on EFT and personal development.

Employment Opportunities for Schools Leavers

The current economic landscape could be enough to dissuade anyone from leaving school and looking for work. Unemployment is at a record high and more businesses are downsizing rather than looking for new employees. As difficult as it might appear to successfully look for jobs, there are positions out there for the right candidates. This is especially true for graduates who have just completed their university degree. Graduate jobs have always been available for the right candidates in many different industries, and this is still true now. One of the best ways of finding work for school leavers is with modern apprenticeships. The scheme has been fronted by The Apprentice star Sir Alan Sugar and is government backed. Modern apprenticeships are designed specifically to help young people find work, and offer employers incentives to take on apprentices. You can find modern apprenticeships in many different industries such as agriculture, law, education, IT and health. One of the best ways o...

Successful Weight Loss Tips And Program

10 Strategies for permanent weight loss 1.   Exercise is essential for weight loss It's nothing new, but exercise is probably the most important predictor of whether you will succeed at long term weight loss and weight loss maintenance. In order for exercise to be helpful in weight loss, you should strive for a minimum of five 30 minute sessions per week. The good news is that recent research has shown that three 10 minute sessions in a day are as good as one 30 minute session. This helps many in combating the old "no time for exercise" excuse. Be certain to find something you enjoy. You'll be more apt to stick with it. Try walking with a friend, joining an intramural sports league, participating in outings with a group like The Sierra Club, or trying some classes at your local gym. Once you give exercise a chance, you will begin to enjoy its positive benefits on your psyche as well; you will literally become "hooked." 2.   Weight loss and weight trainin...

The Best Dogs For Kids May Surprise You

Getting a family dog is a very big and important decision and not one to be taken lightly. One needs to think about a whole range of different characteristics of the type of dog that will fit into the family as well as protect the family from harm. You should choose the best dogs for kids. When looking at the age of the dog for the family, it is necessary to take into consideration the energy levels of the dog. For example, an old married couple shouldn't get a 3 month old Collie puppy as Collies are dogs that need lots of attention and have limitless energy. This 3 month old Collie would be better suited to a family with young children who are able to play with the puppy and help consume some of that energy that Collies are so famous for! Another important thing to take into consideration is the type or breed of dog that would best suit the family. A firm favourite amongst all animal lovers is the ever popular Labrador retriever and golden retriever. These two breeds of dog ar...
