EFT & Reclaiming Simple Pleasures

All this faced paced, high tech living is bringing with it an array of problems and challenges that simply didn’t exist 50 years ago. My suspicion is that we’re getting swamped with doing more bigger faster and better and missing out on the little things in life that are actually essential to our core stability and satisfaction.

When was the last time you stopped to breath in a sunset, or kicked off your shoes to walk on some cool soft grass, paid full on attention to your child with no time limit, sat and stroked a pet for half an hour or so, or laughed out loud with a friend?
These are examples of the simple things in life that are passing us by. We’re too busy for them, but we’re suffering as a direct result. Everyone wants to be happy, everyone wants to feel satisfied with their life, but the trouble with a fast paced lifestyle is we get caught up in a loop of anxiety and quick-fix pleasures.
In America the numbers of people addicted to shopping (and shop lifting), sex, alcohol and gambling are on the rise. Why? People are looking to feel better, to escape, to grab some pleasure. But they’re going about it all wrong and trying to snatch at fleeting moments while they’re all caught up in a life that resembles a rinse and spin cycle!
We need to slow down. And we need to shake of the illusion that pleasure comes from winning on a fruit machine or buying your 59th pair of shoes.
The next time you’re too busy to embrace one of life’s sweet and simple pleasure’s you could try a quick spell of EFT self-help.
“Even though I’m too busy too…”
“Even though I have to shop to feel good…”
“Even though… what…? What distraction do you turn to to get out of your head and try and find some pleasure or diversion? And what simple natural pleasure could you find instead?
EFT stops anxiety and can set your free from compulsive or addictive habits, it’s easy to learn and easy to use, and it can get you back in touch with the good things in your life.
