Many of us have at least one area of our lives that seems to defy change. We have tried every healing modality, self-help technique, positive thinking, mainstream and complementary treatment yet nothing seems to make a dent on this problem for us. In this article, I’ll show you how to ask a different a question that is solutions-focused and apply EFT to the answers.
Because of the vast experience we have in trying to solve this problem we can tell you all the possible causes including past events, limiting beliefs, psychological reversals, past lives, or how our energy is obviously not vibrating at the right level.
Yet, how many of us are experts on how our life would be without this problem?
It may seem stupid, crazy, or a form of denial to think about what life would like if the problem no longer existed yet investigating this future perfect can lead to some valuable clues and insights about what is really holding us back. Ask yourself the question:
How would I know if this issue was no longer a problem for me?
Substitute whatever your personal issue is to make the question specific e.g. “How would I know if money was no longer a problem for me?” This question helps us focus on describing the solution. How would it be if we were experts on the solutions rather than our problem?
You may come up with some quick answers off the top of your head but I want you to dig deeper and come up with some concrete real world noticeable differences, large and small, about how you life would be different if this issue was no longer a problem for you. I recommend at least 21 answers but don’t limit yourself to that.
Money for me has been an issue that seems to defy change, so here are some of the answers I came up with when I asked myself the question, “How would I know if money was no longer a problem for me?” There are some comments in italics along the way. Let me emphasise that these are only my answers. Your answers will be unique to you.
- I would always have cash in my wallet
- I would pay all my bills on time each month
- I would have paid off all my debt (?? seems a long way off; almost impossible to achieve)
- I would feel like I can relax on evenings and weekends without feeling guilty (?? I grew up in a corner store that was open 18 hours a day, 7 days a week and the only time you got to rest was when someone else was working)
- I would have other hobbies apart from work like dancing, drawing, and theatre
- I would trust there’s always more money coming in
- I would not think about how to make more money every day from the moment I wake up (?? what would I think about instead?)
- My business would be a creative channel for me - more fun; not a chore (?? too many chores in childhood)
- My work would not feel desperate and driven all the time
- I would feel like I had time to experiment and make mistakes
- I wouldn’t take life so seriously
- I wouldn’t feel like it was a life and death struggle every day (?? ouch)
There’s definitely some good tapping fodder in there around those thoughts.
If you’re an expert on your problem and find it hard to even ask the question of how your life would be different if this issue was no longer a problem, I have included a video below that uses EFT to get you started on thinking about the solution.
Let me know how this question helped you in the comments.

My supposition is that there are only two things that stop us moving towards our goals: knowledge and fear. It’s rarely for lack of knowledge that we don’t do something and, in a coaching or therapy role, I don’t normally supply knowledge to my clients; at least that’s not my primary focus. My role is to help the client clear the fears that are stopping them from taking the required actions to achieve their goal.
