How to Enjoy What You Are Doing, No Matter What

Back in September I bought all the EFT DVDs available. I didn't know which to choose, so I bought them all since it was cost effective. I think EFT has helped me get over fixating on a negative thought that I had for some years now. It really cleared my head. It helped me to be more focused on what I wanted to focus on. I was skeptical because I am a Christian who takes my faith seriously, and Gary Craig has a very new age outlook, which I find in opposition to orthodox Christianity. But I think there really is something to the human body having energy fields, which can be out of alignment (if you will) and cause problems. So I have mixed feelings on EFT, but yes, I think it has helped me.

I remember that I got a job in a major city and I would be teaching high school math. Everyone made comments about how tough it would be in this inner city. I remembered a professor of counseling and psychology had said that if you say something to yourself 400 times a day, it will come to pass. I said "I am an excellent teacher and I have a wonderful realtionship with my students." I kept saying it to myself as I was driving. It is easier than ever to say something 400 times. It turns out that I had the time of my life in that job and my kids did great in their work. This is a math teaching job in an inner city school I had. I stopped listening to how bad kids are, etc. etc. realized they have no choice but to be there in that school, and made up my mind I was going to like it. If people made remarks to me about how bad it must be, I didn't listen. I told them "But I LIKE this job." Most people did not believe me when I told them how much I liked that job.

KAC:What a hard time you are going through! Keep looking up as God will be there to help you!

I practice FROG~which stands for Fully Rely On God. Being the fiercely independent and strong person I am, I know that I am nothing without God in my life. I am not my own savior or hero. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" (Phil 4:8) is a great verse to remember when I feel overwhelmed.

Without God's promises (in the bible) I would not have the faith, hope, or srength that I have. But because I know who is the author of creation and salvation, I have One whom I can go to in all things~be they good or bad. I give praise for the good and the bad since I know that I will gain and learn from both prosperity (this doesn't necessarily mean material) and adversity.

Glad everyone is so positive.

I am sorry to hear of your situation and I will pray for you. I like the idea of the white cloud. I need help in managing my time. I am a multi-tasker, not because I need to be, but my thoughts go a mile a minute. I can't finish one chore without stopping to start another one. It's driving me crazy! I really need some help and ideas. I read Dr. Mercola and I try to practice EFT but my mind won't slow down long enough to tap and count. Can someone help me?

I believe in thinking positively about situations and life, in general, but there are times when life throws too much at us. It is a difficult world in which we live and it is so very hard to trust and find peace. I was never the kind of person who feels that I could be helped by "images" and such. I love to ready and study psychology(and people) and once when shopping in a health store I saw scented candles and read the claims on the package and I asked the lady working there if she believed the claims of benefits from using them, and she said "if you believe it will". I "believe" what she said to be true, but I also feel that it is beneficial to have strong beliefs in whatever you feel motivated by. I, especially, have learned over the ages that the strongest gains from one's beliefs are from a strong belief in yourself and the wisdom, knowledge and experience to back up that belief. I have been learning about "good health", both physically and mentally through reading and this site, and that has giving me inspiration and incentive to BELIEVE somes things in life are still under our control... I have a long ways to go, but I am learning.....and hopeful!

I was feeling sort of down when I got up this morning so I turned on my computer and the Mercola email was there. I read this one and all the comments. I am truly grateful for all the positive thoughts here and do thank all of you for them. I am having a hard time trying to convince my husband to buy a house in a neighboring town because we are at the point where we need to downsize and have a smaller place. Positive thoughts from all of you on this would be a blessing to me. Good wishes to all of you who are in a not so good situation right now. Better days will be here soon for you. Thank you again and God bless.

it seems like common sense but common sense isn't so common it seems. i live a very happy life and i find that just keeping positive about everything, as well as the things above, help. whether you think about it in a 6 step rule, as long as your ultimate goal is to put a smile on your face then it should be more enjoyable.

God didn't enjoy carrying the cross, but he endured for the long-term benefit of mankind.

When I am struggling to get through something in my life, I look back on past times of difficulty and struggle. When I compare what I'm currently going through to what I've already experienced, I know I can do anything. I've been a single parent from the beginning and my daughter is now almost 20. I feel like I've already succeeded at the most difficult and rewarding thing I could ever do!

I do a lot of self talking. It really helps me think logically and get through any situation, good or bad. Besides, who else will listen to me, except me.

I am happier now then I have ever been since I do EFT on a daily basis. I mention this since I know their are skeptics who don't believe in EFT so I want to indicate it does work. I read weekly emails on how EFT has helped others in all areas of their life - try it on everything approach - and this has helped me to continue using EFT.

I also imagine that my body is completely enveloped in a white cloud which contains all positive thoughts and I am floating in this white cloud. Outside of this white cloud is a black cloud with all bad thoughts and it is not allowed to touch my body since I am completely enveloped by positive thoughts. There is however a white path that comes into my body which contains new positive thoughts. When I think of a bad thought, I immediately switch my mind to think of a positive thought. This worked for me.

It isn't as if I am not encountering difficulties in my life and thus being happy. I am encountering much unusual difficulties. My dad died last year and his wife sold everything and moved back to the Phillipines with my Dad's million dollar estate without telling us. My dad willed 1/2 the estate to his children upon her death but now no international law exists where her family has to give it up. My mother's killer was just released from prison on appeal on a new law which affected testimony at the trial that may prove inadmissable. I also dealing with FOC issues with my ex on my children and costing me tons of money. So folks, it is how you deal with issues that makes a difference.
