| | EFT For Creating Wealth - Create Prosperity In Your Life
The subject of money and prosperity is complex. It evokes intense emotions in most of us. We all have a story to tell about money. These stories reflect our experiences about money and how they have contributed to shaping our beliefs about money and prosperity.
When we talk about money we are talking about one of the fundamentals governing our views on life. The way we feel about money dictates how we live our lives.
It has a direct impact on our happiness and our health. It colors our interactions with others, be they business relationships, friendships or our intimate relationships.
Put simply: Prosperity, or the lack of it and/ or how we relate to it, is one of life’s core issues.
EFT For Creating Wealth: Understanding your Relationship with Money
For a lot of us our relationship with money is less then straightforward: We love it, love to have more of it, be smarter with it and would rather never have to worry about it at all.
We would like to have it on tap, but preferably not have to work too hard in the getting of it. Ideally we would like it to be there without working at keeping it.
When we have money we want to spend it fulfilling our desires, perhaps for a nicer car, home, clothes, holidays, a new TV… spending it is easy and in the process having fun, (well, at least superficially).
EFT For Creating Wealth: For many of us our relationship with money can be compared to that of having a clandestine love affair.
Being there feels fantastic and we want more to feed the feel good factor, but somehow we are incapable of maintaining the momentum. Opportunism rules and we take, or spend when we can… no forward planning, we dare not go there…because that could be too scary.
The upshot of all this is that inevitable empty feeling, rather like a night out on the town that was invariably followed by a hangover.
EFT For Creating Wealth: Reasons For Money Problems Are Two-Fold Reason #One…
We have never been taught how to deal with money in a responsible, mature and detached way. It is my opinion that “working with money” ought to be a subject that’s included in every school curriculum.
Our western culture, which promotes instant gratification on all levels, encourages estrangement from money, rather then fostering a deeper understanding of it and a positive relationship with it.
 The other problem is our own projection about money, the many symbolic meanings we give to money (that it doesn’t actually have). For example: having lots of it implies security and is proof of (material) success to most of us. However, this does undermine our objectivity. Such projections are purely emotionally based.
Paradoxically, having money can also leave you feeling insecure, unwanted or unloved. It might bring on hidden fears of having to shoulder responsibility or even guilt. This can cause maladaptive behavior without the person realizing what is happening.
EFT For Creating Wealth: Becoming Congruent with Money.
The first step in becoming congruent with money is to identify what kind of relationship you presently have with it.
Used correctly EFT is a great tool to identify the belief systems which are running your money “life”. You will be astounded at the answers.
EFT For Creating Wealth: The key to success is honesty. I know this is a very difficult thing for most of us and this is why using the right tools to assist us understand our “truth” is so very important.
Achieving congruency is nothing more then clearing the cupboards of your mind of its outdated, unwanted and old rubbish. When one achieves congruency our new thoughts create a clear and unobstructed path to our goal (in this instance congruency with money, wealth and prosperity).
We are all where we are now (wherever "now" is for you) because of our thoughts (many of them) that have led us to this “place” we’re now in.
Reason #Two... The second step is New Thinking: This means we need to objectively analyze our attitudes around money. We then keep the one’s we like and eliminate those that don’t serve us. This process automatically paves the way to new and innovative thinking. We begin to see the world differently.
Elsewhere I have used the comparison of a light switch going on in your head. When this light switch goes on you will begin reframing old thinking patterns and outdated concepts.
EFT For Creating Wealth: Clearing and releasing our unwanted and outdated thinking is like drawing on a blank canvass: It is a liberating and creative process.
After all new ideas and solutions to our problems are never achieved by regurgitating our Old Thinking, right? I mean if this old thinking worked we would not still be challenged by our relationship with money. True change can only be achieved when we allow an influx of new and (as yet) untried ideas. This is called “growth”.
True, lasting prosperity only comes about when one is congruent at all levels.
Congruency is achieved by removing mental obstacles such as self-doubt, lack of self-esteem or guilt etc. When you are congruent with money obstacles disappear.
When you are congruent around money, you feel totally at ease with it, you feel comfortable and peaceful, quietly and steadfastly working towards your goals free from doubt and anxiety.
EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) is used to un-clutter our “monkey” mind. Many people experience lasting results quickly, and it is common for clients to experience this wonderful feeling of congruency with money very quickly… maybe for the first time in your life.
As a wise man once said... “Money will never fix your financial problems”. In essence it’s not how much money you have that brings you peace, it’s your own congruency with money and your own prosperity that does this.
