SFBT, developed by Steve de Shazer and Insoo Kim Berg, is a simple yet powerful approach based on identifying what you want, where evidence of the solution is appearing in your life already, and what would be externally observable signs of progress.

SFBT is based on the idea that no problems occurs always all the time. Even for an alcoholic, there are some days when they drink less than others so investigate what is different about those days when the problem is less and do more of that as opposed to searching through your past to find the reason that may or may not be the cause of the behaviour.

SFBT’s efficacy is well established and supported by a solid and ever increasing body of research. Solution-focused thinking is widely accepted in the fields of therapy, social care, education and business. This book, The Solutions Focus: Making Coaching and Change Simple, was my original introduction to solutions-focused thinking.

EFT, in my opinion, in unparalleled in its ability to heal past events such as trauma and abuse and I find combining SFBT with EFT is incredibly effective when moving forward into the future. I have found it useful in areas such as business improvements, wealth creation, depression, serious disease and weight loss. Here are some of the insights I achieve when I applied one of the questions to issues around money.

The standard EFT approach to achieving your goals is to search in your past for events that have lead to limiting beliefs (“writing on your walls”) that are holding you back from want you want. This is based on Gary Craig’s NLP training which the concept of limiting beliefs is a part of.

But how long to you keep looking in the past for answers? Focusing on the past can itself be used as a diversion from taking real action to move you towards what you want. SFBT helps identify small concrete signs that you are actually making progress.

What works for you is a solutions-focused question that moves you into a different way of thinking. It helps you focus on and notice what your own unique solutions are. Your own unique solutions may not be the same as everyone else’s and they may not be same as touted by such-and-such an expert. Figuring out what works for you requires you to become an expert on your own life. And this requires paying attention.

For example, there are thousands of diets out there each claiming that they will produce miraculous results. Yet most of these diets work well for a percentage of people but not everyone. That’s because we each have a unique metabolic type that determines the balance of carbohydrates and proteins that we need to eat, how fast our bodies metabolise sugar, and how often we need to eat. You metabolic type also determines the type of exercise and what time of day to exercise will work best for you.

If you pay attention to how you feel 1 hour after a meal (e.g. are you alert or unfocused, are you hungry again or not, are you emotionally stable or experiencing mood swings) and you experiment with different combinations of foods, size of portions, time between feeds, then over time you can figure out the way to eat and what to eat that best suits you.

This does require attention and careful observation which sometimes seems too much trouble so we search for a quick answer from the latest magazine diet, book, TV expert, or Google.

But this post is not just about your diet.

What about what works for you in terms of being creative or getting your best work done? Are you most creative in the mornings or the evenings? Again this requires attention and experimentation. I know from experience that I’m much better at writing things in the morning, like I’m doing right now, than later in the afternoon or at night. After lunch, I know that I’m better at tasks that don’t require creativity or focus and concentration. Are there some times of day which suit you better for writing and others that suit you for making phone calls?

What about relationships? You know there are ways to broach subjects with those you care about that can lead to useful discussions and there are ways to pick a fight. Become conscious of what happens when you say things in a certain way, with a certain tone of voice, using certain words. Is this being manipulative? That depends on the intention with which you enter into the conversation. If you intention is to ‘get your own way’ then yes it is manipulative (think children) but if you intention is to enjoy the relationship in the best way possible then it is more about love.

What stops us from paying attention?

Western lifestyles, in general, are full of noise and distractions. From the moment we wake up in the morning to the time we close our eyes at night we are immersed in a sea of noise and distraction. The radio wakes us up, the TV is on in the background, the kids are screaming the back yard, the radio is on the car going to work, there are phones calls and emails to answer, meals to cook, errands and shopping to be done, etc (feel exhausted, yet? Sorry.) Tibetan Buddhism actual calls this “Western busyness”.

So how can we use EFT to help increase our ability to pay attention within the noisiness of everyday life?

Identify an area of your life that you want to focus and pay attention to. Maybe it’s your eating habits, your creativity, or your relationship with someone. Most likely it is something that is weaved throughout your day.

When you have identified a specific area, use this EFT tapping guide and tap along as follows:

Continue for another round.

After tapping the above sequence, you may have come up with your own ideas that will help you notice what works. It could be things like keeping a diary, making notes in your mobile phone or sending yourself emails. Let me know how paying attention has helped you in the comments.Related Posts:

This breakthrough audio product is not about the Law of Attraction made popular by the movie The Secret. It’s about identifying the strengths you possess, the resources you have, and the concrete actions to take to move you in the direction of your goals.

Using the process and ideas of this audio program, people have lost weight, made more money, improved their relationships, increased their business income and so much more.

I used to call this a goal setting process but it’s so much more than that. This approach to achieving your goals has been developed from one of the most successful therapeutic approaches called Solutions-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). SFBT has been around for more than 30 years and has been successful with many of the most difficult and hopeless cases.

This program applies the SFBT approach in a unique way that helps you identify the real changes you want to see in your life and how things would be different once you’ve achieved these results. You already have clues to your success in your life. Use this program to identify what works for you, even some of the time, and how to do more of it.

This is definitely not the standard “work out where you want to be 12 months from now and break it down into monthly, weekly, and daily next actions”. Although this is can work for some people, this program helps you identify your own personal formula for progressing your goals. And how do you know you’ll still want the same thing in 12 months time?

We also don’t waste time identifying limiting beliefs, or past events, or things that are holding you back. These can be interesting but can also be a distraction. The solutions-focused process sets you up to win by identifying things you can do straight away to move you towards your goals.

Do not buy this product if you are just into visualisation and expecting your vibration to attract everything into your life without any effort on your part. The law of attraction can be an excuse for not taking action. Only attend buy this product if you want a clear action plan with defined steps that show results in the real world.

Now is the time to access all your resources and experience and identify the strengths you already have access to and use them to take achieve the successes you want in your life.

The convenient audio format means that you can use the process over and over again for different areas of your life and at different stages of your life. This month you can apply the SF Approach to losing weight and improving your health. Next month you can apply it to increasing your income; then to increasing your marketing; then improving your relationships. The recording is yours forever.

The recording is provided as a download in the popular MP3 format so that you can also take the program with you on any portable music player such as an iPod.

The Solutions-Focused Approach to Your Goals Program has recently been updated to include a full transcript of the recording for your reading pleasure and a worksheet to summarise the steps.

Breakthrough to new levels of succes now. Identify your true strengths and resource. Experience the success you deserve now.

The idea of positive thinking was to always focus on what was good. If you think negative thoughts then you’ll get more of that instead of what you really want. So you need to pay special attention to your thoughts, all day every day, and weed out all those negative thoughts. Having tried this, I can tell you its hard work. It’s hard to stay in the present moment when you’re trying to monitor every thought that comes into your head and edit every word that pops out of your mouth.

And then along comes EFT. EFT allows us to deal with negative thoughts and emotions, clearing “disruptions in the body’s energy system” that we feel as emotions that we label as negative.

When using EFT we focus on the supposedly negative. We say negative words while we’re tapping. A frequently asked question from newcomers is “why do we say the negative, when we’ve been taught for years to only focus on the positive?” There’s almost a phobia about focusing on the negative just in case, if you focus on it, even for just a little while, suddenly you will manifest all those bad things on the spot instantly! Uh huh.

When I first discovered EFT, I became almost obsessive with tapping on every negative thought that popped into my head, thinking that if I could just clear all those negative thoughts then I would be happy; then I would be rich; then I could have what I want.

So after 6 years of clearing negative stuff, how’s that working out for me?

While I do feel amazing on the inside, and I still very much use EFT as an effective healing tool for myself and my clients, my external circumstances can still be a struggle. Supporters of the law of attraction would say that I’m not yet vibrating at the right level to manifest what I want. So should I continue to search for why I’m not vibrating at the right level and continue to try and find the negative beliefs that are holding me back until I tap them all out before taking action?

One definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over again and expect a different result.

So what else could be the case? 

A brilliant article by fellow Australian tapper Steve Wells on the Power of Negative Thinking and Feeling highlighted that there are some highly successful people out there with very negative thinking. They don’t get much more successful than Warren Buffet who is currently one of the richest man in the world. What is his mantra, his primary thought that has helped achieve such incredible success: “Don’t lose money” This phrase focuses on the negative. This phrase focuses on what he doesn’t want. Seems to have worked pretty well for him. This phrase hasn’t stopped him from achieving his dreams.

So are you using the law of attraction as an excuse for not taking action?

If you aren’t yet successful, is it because you haven’t cleared all those negative things and there must still be something wrong with your level of vibration so you should continue to focus on finding what’s wrong? Or, could it be, that there is nothing wrong with you except that you haven’t taking enough actions to achieve what you want?.

One of my favourite quotes is:

“If man advances confidently in the direction of his own dreams and endeavours to live the life that he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.” – by Henry David Thoreau

Don’t get me wrong, I do still think there is such things as self-sabotage, limiting beliefs, and psychological reversals but how long are you going to continue to focus on finding and clearing these before you start taking action towards your goals. How would you know if you have cleared all these things without taking action and receiving some feedback? You don’t receive feedback until you take some action to move forward.

I guess the whole point of this article is to encourage, prompt, and challenge you to take action, any actual real physical action, that will move you towards what you want regardless of what state you think your thoughts or vibration are in. Get honest with yourself and check to see whether you are using self-improvement, personal development, or the law of attraction as an excuse for not getting off your butt and doing something to move towards your goals.

Here are some examples about what action might look like:

• If you want to have a ideal relationship: are you actually dating people, are you listed on RSVP, or are you sitting at home visualising your ideal mate and hoping they will walk through the door?
• If you want to increase your income: are you doing something to increase your value in the market place or are you sitting at home staring at dream boards?
• If you want more clients in your business: are you trying different types of marketing or are you sitting in an empty office wondering what’s wrong with your level of vibration?

Don’t let the law of attraction stop you from actually doing something that can move you towards your goals. Now. Today. Right now. Why are you still reading?

A limiting belief can usually be identified when you are stuck and not getting the results you want in some way. A limiting belief can be identified by completing the sentence:

“I can’t do this because…” or
“I can’t have this because…”

What follows ‘because’ is a limiting belief. Henry Ford once said: “Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, your right!”

Examples of limiting beliefs include: I’m too young, I’m too old, I’m not smart enough, I’m not experienced enough, I don’t have the education, Woman can’t do that, Men can’t do that, I can’t get up early in the mornings, I’m too fat, I’m Asian, Greek or Australian. etc.

How can you apply EFT to these limiting beliefs? Tailor the setup statement to the limiting belief that you have identified. In this example, we’ll use the belief “I’m too old” to do something that you want to do. Using this tapping point guide,

What ever your limiting beliefs, you will always be able to find someone in exactly the same situation as you who does not have this belief and is achieving what you believe you can’t. Free yourself from your belief and enjoy your new freedom.Related Posts:

This procedure will put you in control of your craving and, with persistance, will eventually eliminate the craving altogether. The faster that you can get to the emotional cause behind the craving, the faster you will completely eliminate the behaviour.

The best time to do this tapping is right when you have the craving so you may want to print this out and keep it handy.

Have what you crave right in front of you so that you are really tuned into it. On a scale from 0-10, where 10 is “must have now!” and 0 is “don’t want it”, rate you level of craving. Write this down. Now work through the EFT tapping points as follows:

Now re-evaluate you level of craving. Has it reduced, changed in some way, or even increased? You may need to do a few more rounds to completely reduce the craving but remember that you need to be persistent.

An additional factor in food cravings is whether you are eating the right balance of protein and carbohydrates. If, after eating a meal, you crave something sweet then the ratio of carbohydrates was too high compared to protein. Note that vegetables are included in the carbohydrate macro food group. For more information about getting the right balance see The Metabolic Typing Diet.Related Posts:

You can read articles on how to use the common artificial sweetener, Aspartame, to kill ants. This works because the ant’s bodies are so small that the toxin overwhelms them immediately whereas in humans it takes longer for the toxin to build up and the effects to manifest.

The human body is the ultimate survival mechanism. When we take in toxins, the body does whatever it can to eliminate them. If the body cannot eliminate all toxins, such as artificial sweeteners, the body will STORE IT IN FAT tissue to protect the vital organs.

This applies not only to soft drinks but to any foods that contain artificial sweeteners.

Regardless of what I, or any other expert says, I suggest you test this for yourself. Use your common sense about your current health and medical conditions. A good test is to go one whole month without ‘diet’ anything and see how your weight (and general well-being) improves. Preferably go off soft drinks altogether but at least eliminate ‘diet’ anything.

You may feel a little off and have cold and flu type symptoms for a few days after your stop because you body is finally getting the chance to expel the build-up of toxins from your body. Stay with it and you will be rewarded for your persistence.

If, after one month, you haven’t noticed any improvement, then go back on the diet stuff. It’s your choice and your body so take on the responsibility of testing things for yourself.

Of course the best outcome is to go off all soft drinks and sodas. If you experience cravings for the sweet stuff be sure to use EFT to control cravings.Related Posts:
