Even with a wealth of webinars, teleclasses, workshops and other tools advising everyone how to live the life of their dreams, why do so many still struggle to feel successful?
Just having a map in your hands doesn’t mean that you will get to your destination. Understanding your fears and limiting beliefs does not necessarily give you the ability to overcome them. Humans also have built-in protec- tive mechanisms that often override their efforts to achieve their goals in order to maintain the status quo. While ideas presented in programs and courses to help
people achieve success can inspire and motivate positive change, many people get stuck when they have to apply them. In the past, many of the methods used to overcome obstacles to success have been tedious and time consum- ing, requiring months or years of intense concentration and relentless perseverance.
Why is it so challenging to make the changes necessary to succeed?
The mind is divided into two hemispheres. One is respon- sible for rational, conscious thought and processes ideas sequentially, using language. The other is emotional, and pro- cesses ideas simultaneously, using pictures. The emotional, subconscious mind is far more powerful than the rational, conscious mind. It controls about 95 percent of our thoughts and actions and is motivated by the pull of pleasurable re- wards and the push of negative emotions. To understand the challenge of change, think of the emotional mind as an elephant and the rational mind as the rider. As long as the elephant doesn’t have a strong desire to move in a particular direction, the rider can control the elephant. However, if the direction that the elephant wants to go in is different than what the rider has in mind, the chance of forcing the elephant radically diminishes. The reason that so many people fail
to achieve success is that the elephantine subconscious is innately averse to the new action that needs to be taken. To make tasks much easier, the elephant must be motivated to move in a certain direction or, at the very least, remain neutral and not resist the rider.
By applying some newer, cutting-edge tools that support change, such as tapping points along the body’s energy meridians,
the approach used in the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), it is not only possible to get the elephant to cease resisting, but can also shave time off the journey to personal power and ac- complishment. Tapping can transform the beliefs and emotions that cause self-doubt, self-sabotage, procrastination and other roadblocks. It is being used around the world to help people minimize or eliminate issues as varied as fears, phobias, post- traumatic stress disorder, food cravings and chronic pain.
