Empower Your Affirmations With EFT

Let's say a 200-pound woman uses an affirmation aimed at weighing 130 pounds. She might affirm something like this...
"My normal weight is 130 pounds and that's what I weigh."

The logic here is that if she keeps repeating that affirmation she will perform a form of mental conditioning. As a result, she will begin to see herself differently and will naturally adjust her food intake and exercise habits to permanently achieve this new weight level. Properly done, there would be no will power involved. Her life habits would simply evolve to someone who behaved as a 130 pound woman. I know this can work because I did it myself. About 20 years ago I lost 30 pounds by consistently repeating an affirmation that said...
"My normal weight is 160 pounds and that's what I weigh."

But most people don't have my experience. Why? Because the affirmation they are stating is not the "true" affirmation. You see, the stated affirmation often has competition within the person's system. That competing affirmation gets tagged on at the tail end of the stated affirmation in a subtle, yet powerful, way and becomes the "true" affirmation.

For example, our 200 pound woman who says, "My normal weight is 130 pounds and that's what I weigh" is likely to have one or more "tail enders" show up at the end of her affirmation. They might go like this...

· "But if I lose the weight, people will expect me to keep it off."
· "But if I lose the weight, I will have to spend a lot of money for new clothes."
· "But if I lose the weight, men will hit on me and expect sex."
· I will know that I am not loveable if I lose weight and nobody hits on me.
· "I will never get to eat my favorite foods again."
· If I lose weight I might draw attention to myself.
· But if I lose weight my friends won't like me anymore.
· Being fat is in my genes so there is nothing I can do about it.

This is where EFT can help. Tap on the tail enders that are negating your affirmation. If you are afraid that you can't lose weight because you are genetically disposed to be fat, then this is a limiting belief that can be released with EFT. Tap on one tail ender at a time until you have released ALL the emotional intensity around it and then tap on the next one.
