Rediscovering positive thinking
I have been thinking a lot of about going through the day without paying attention to the ‘quality’ of my self-talk can have some unfortunate effect on the events I attract to myself.
However, I m not too sure I want to go for an all-positive inner or self-talk, I guess I have heard so many bad criticism of the Norman Vincent Peale philosophy.
I believe that positive thinking can have a beneficial effect on my life as long as it doesn’t enter in conflict with already established belief, in that case the establish belief will counteract the new ideas and even become stronger. I have read about this with people saying to themselves that they are rich over and over and actually become poorer. Actually, it caused them to focus more and more on the lack , this concentration I guess caused them to put themselves into situation that attract more of the thing they lack.
In the Emile Coué system if imagination and will power are in conflict, imagination will win. However, imagination and will power are never in conflict, if someone has the belief that she is a poor golf player, she will probably use her imagination to build defeating scenarios regarding her playing golf, now, she can also uses her will power and imagination to build winning scenarios the uncomfortable feelings that might ensue will be only a reflection of conflicting beliefs between the new idea to be established and the old one about being a poor golf player. This is here that a system like EFT or BSFF enter to play.
Gary Craig founder of EFT 
wrote a long piece about this, his idea is that when a new idea enter in conflict with an established belief you apply EFT on the no-longer useful-belief. At that point, it is interesting to go one day with a notebook, to see what sort of thoughts pop up when experimenting with positive ideas and make note of them , positive ideas such as:
I’m abundant
My intuition guides me for the better
I’m lucky everything clicks me
Etc….
Have you some experience with this please let me know ?
