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.
The reason why positive doesn't always work for people is because the positive thinking is only on the surface while deeper beliefs and thought are still negative. Even one deep seated negative thought is enough to interfere with the positive intentions that you set yourself.
Just thinking positively doesn't get you anywhere though. You need to be taking the right action as well. But when most people need to start taking the right action they find their positive thinking fails them.
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 are able to focus completely on your goal and positive thoughts then it is of course possible to succeed despite those negative beliefs. This is how a lot of people operate. But it's a real struggle, feels stressful and can be very draining. Also, those negative beliefs don't change and you'll have to deal with them every time you move towards new goals.
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 lose all those negative beliefs and thoughts that stop you from having the full benefits of Positive Thinklng you'll be able to have a much stronger and deeper positive world view. Taking the right action will become more naturally and success will come much more easily.
