<h3>Wanna know a secret?</h3>
<p></p>
<h3>It’s the secret to “The Secret”...</h3>
<p></p>
<p>Your negative thoughts are just as important and valuable as
your positive thoughts!</p>
<p>And this isn’t just my opinion. It is backed by research. </p>
<p>Gabriele Oettingen, a professor of psychology at New York University investigated the effects of people’s thinking about their future.</p>
<p>Over twenty years of study, she found that those who paid attention to both their positive AND negative thoughts were more likely to succeed in creating the outcomes that they wanted. She published this research in the book “Rethinking Positive Thinking”.</p>
<p>Now, if you’ve been trying to avoid negative thinking and
“focus on the positive”, this might come as a shock.</p>
<p>I know it did for me. However, consider this.</p>
<p>You are the current pinnacle of human evolution. </p>
<p>Do you think that the thoughts that you spend more than
three quarters of your time thinking (come on, admit it!) are USELESS?</p>
<h2>NO!</h2>
<p>They aren’t!</p>
<p>Now, I get that you might have come to this conclusion, as
did I.</p>
<p>The personal growth and new age/spiritual/law of attraction
movements are full of the message to be positive.</p>
<p>Avoid negativity at all costs.</p>
<p>And, this can seem to be good advice. There is a widespread
belief that our thoughts create our reality.</p>
<p>It is true that positive thinking can expand our horizons
and bring new opportunities in life.</p>
<p>However, it is not as simple as focusing on positive
thoughts and crafting beautiful affirmations about how “life is getting
brighter and lighter in every way.”</p>
<p>Because, guess what….</p>
<p>Your negative thoughts and feelings are there anyway,
subconsciously pulling the strings and sabotaging your every move towards
creating what you consciously desire.</p>
<p>This is what happens when they are suppressed.</p>
<p>However, when you acknowledge and open yourself up to your
negative thoughts AS WELL AS the positive ones, strange things can happen.</p>
<p>Your obstacles can transform into objectives – steps on your
journey to creating the outcomes you desire.</p>
<h3>So, why does this happen?</h3>
<p>You may have heard that the subconscious mind makes no
distinction between thought and physical reality.</p>
<p>This means that visualising or imagining the future that you
desire (a classic positive thinking technique) can have unintended
consequences.</p>
<p>It can cause you to subconsciously think and feel that you
have already achieved what you desire. </p>
<p>This can actually cause you to lose motivation and remain
stuck, without taking action – a dreamer!</p>
<p>Here’s where negative thinking comes into play….</p>
<p>After carrying out your positive visualisation, bring your
attention to all of the reasons that you won’t achieve the outcome that you
desire.</p>
<p>Pay attention to and make a list of all of the practical
reasons and negative self-talk that comes up when you think about achieving the
outcome.</p>
<h3>Hey presto!</h3>
<p>Your so called negative thoughts and feelings have now
become a roadmap to achieving the outcomes that you want to create.</p>

<p>However, it can
be challenging focusing on the negative thoughts and feelings. Naturally, we
are resistant to this.</p>
<p>Shove them all
down and pretend they aren’t there. It’s too scary to think about what might go
wrong.</p>
<p>Luckily, there is
a not-so-secret technique that can make this part much easier.</p>
<p>EFT (aka Tapping) enables you to explore and release the difficult emotions that are attached to negative thoughts and beliefs. </p>
<p>This makes it so
much easier to take action, as it is actually the feelings that are preventing
you from moving forwards.</p>
<p>So, if you have
objectives or outcomes that you would like to create in your life and positive
thinking hasn’t got you there yet….</p>
