Admit it, EFT is weird. Tapping on your face to get rid of negative emotions, come on!
Even though I’ve been using EFT for a couple of years I still think it’s a bit strange. But the difference between myself and people that like to pretend that they ‘think outside of the box’ is that I really do. And I don’t let any preconceptions from myself or others stop me from exploring new ideas. At the end of the day I’ll do what works and I have no fear of having my map of reality questioned because I’m comfortable holding different and contradictory ideas and concepts in my mind at the same time.
Now I was first shown EFT three years ago and I remember using it on anxiousness around certain social situations. My anxiousness disappeared straight and I found myself taking action before I even realised what I was doing. But after that I only used it intermittently over the next few years. I didn’t realise just how widely it can be applied. You can literally tap everything including your beliefs about EFT itself.
‘Even though EFT isn’t scientific…’
‘Even though EFT is weird…’
‘Even though EFT is weird hippy-shit…’
‘Even though EFT is New-Age nonsense…’
‘Even though tapping on my face is completely ridiculous…’
‘Even though EFT will never work for me…’
The skill you’re employing here is a very useful. Being able to observe your own beliefs, thoughts and emotions is called metacognition and it’s something not many people do.
