Fear of Change

Plenty of people claim they want to start attracting abundance, but they have little understanding or appreciation for the power of their fears of making any changes or "rocking the boat." These conscious or unconscious fears are very powerful, but fortunately they can be treated and eliminated with EFT. If the underlying beliefs about change (change is dangerous, they won't like me anymore) aren't neutralized, then any gains realized from using any and all techniques will be only temporary. 

As promised in my welcome email, I am providing clear EFT Setup Phrases (or statements) followed by two rounds (one negative and one positive) for a specific topic, in this case, Fear of Change. 

1. EFT SETUP PHRASES 

The EFT SETUP Phrases for this topic are as follows: 

While tapping the karate chop spot on either hand, repeat these phrases out loud, (or change the words to fit your exact situation). 

"Even though a part of me is afraid to change and attract abundance, I deeply and completely accept all of me." 

"Even though I might upset other people if I start attracting abundance, I choose to raise my vibration anyway." 

"Even though I don't want them to be mad at me, I accept who I am and that I have all these desires." 

I have indicated where to tap while saying each of the phrases below. You may repeat this round more than once if you wish. (Those of you who are new to EFT may view a chart of the spots on my web site under the EFT pages.)  

***Now, for the phrases that focus on the problem***  

Eyebrow: "I don't want to change." 

Side of Eye:"I'm afraid to change." 

Under Eye:"They'll feel threatened if I change." 

Nose: "I don't want to upset them." 

Chin: "I want to stay where I am." 

Collarbone: "I have this conflict about success." 

Under Arm:"I don't want to rock the boat." 

Head: "It's easier to stay where I am." 

***Now for the positive focus on the solution*** 

Eyebrow: "I do want to change." 

Side of Eye:"They can handle it." 

Under Eye:"I could be safe embracing prosperity." 

Nose: "I love realizing my potential." 

Chin: "I deserve wealth and abundance." 

Collarbone: "I appreciate all the abundance I already have." 

Under Arm:"I appreciate who I am." 

Head: "I feel free to release this conflict once and for all." 

Take a walk between 5 and 30 minutes and repeat out loud how much you love your life, what you appreciate about your life, what you notice in the scenery that's lovely, what you feel grateful for in your family, etc. The "game" part is trying to keep track of staying positive and noticing how easy it is to slip back into negative thinking. Just see if you can keep up with the positive affirmations, but notice how often you resort to your laundry list of gripes. 

I have a number of affirmations I use daily (such as I am abundance, I appreciate all the blessings in my life, I am open to receiving guidance), so I start with those, and before I know it, I am bubbling over with new ones and appreciating the incredible prosperity and joy in my life.

Rules of the Game:  

Rule #1. Never make it up---if you don't feel grateful for your family or your job during one of your walks, don't say it out loud. You may leave them off the list. 

Rule #2. If you feel embarrassed because people are staring at you because you are gushing out loud, then say your affirmations to yourself until the people pass you by. Then continue appreciating your life out loud! 

Rule #3. When you are so happy you are grinning and laughing out loud, it's time to stop and go back to your regular day. 

Rule #4: (optional) Keep track of the wonderful blessings that come into your life as a result of starting this practice.
