This year, instead of making empty promises to yourself (otherwise known as New Year’s Resolutions), how about praying in “Thank You’s?” Especially for experiences that you want, but haven’t had yet? And things you want, but haven’t received yet?

As if you have already achieved them or experienced them?

Focus on thanking the Universe in advance for your most amazing accomplishments of this next year, and on the feelings of joy, confidence, peace and freedom you experience as a result of those achievements. Nothing like having a little fun with the Law of Attraction to start off a new year! Why not?

Just think about what you want this year, and thank the Universe for bringing it to you. And if you want, it’s easy to add EFT tapping . . .

Even though I’m not even sure I can do it, I thank the Universe in advance for providing help and support.
Even though I don’t know how this will be accomplished, I am grateful to the Universe for bringing it to me.
Even though I don’t have a clue how this will be accomplished, I acknowledge my role in it and honor my intention to succeed.
Even though I can’t yet see it, I thank the Universe for knowing exactly what to do.
Even though I can’t yet see it, I thank the Universe for bringing me every resource I need.
Even though I can’t yet see it, I thank the Universe for supporting me in every way.
Even though I can’t yet see it, I thank the Universe for clearing my path as I speak.
Even though I can’t yet see it, I thank the Universe for making it fun and easy.

Around the body -

Thank you Universe
This grateful feeling
Trust in the Universe
Thank you Universe for your love and support
Thank you Universe for providing this guidance
Thank you Universe for providing faith in this journey
Thank you Universe for doing your part when I do mine
Thank you Universe for providing everything I need and more . . .

The only “promise” you need to make is to do the best you can, with what you have to work with, from where you are right now, in every possible direction that feels right.

EFT for anxiety (which is a huge factor in weight loss) can be extremely helpful. Whoopie Goldberg, for instance, was recently treated for fear of flying using Thought Field Therapy.

While they used many techniques, including NLP, the TFT tapping was prominently discussed as being very helpful. The treatment also included LOGIC, such as a pilot explaining to her that “there is no bad turbulence – ever – it’s not going to bring down the plane.” They also included explanations about the safety of aviation and how much aviation had evolved.

The interesting part is what occurred that triggered Whoopie’s fear in the first place.

She witnessed a mid-air collision in 1978 – THAT was the precipitating event.

For the treatment to be successful, it is critical to neutralize the emotions associated with that event.

To find the specific events, think about what events occurred that you think may have contributed to the EFT weight loss symptoms you have now. And you can always use Gary Craig’s revealing question – If you had your life to live over, what events would you have preferred to skip? Then apply EFT to your thoughts and feelings around those events. Happy tapping!
