Totally confirms my observations. My mantra "I am deeply appreciated and well paid for the work I love to do" made me realize that I had to quit my job! In other words, it makes you feel bad to lie to yourself. That's what bothers me about all the craze about "The Secret." It's interpreted to mean you are supposed to lie to yourself, and that doesn't work. Hahahaha this article is great! Totally confirms my observations.

EFT, Emotional Freedom Technique is an energy psychology technique that helps release what is there and then a person can tap in the more affirming thoughts. We must acknowledge what is there first, and then CHOOSE to release and let go, choose and believe we can live in the present in our power and choose a path of healthy self-love. - Thanks for reading.

If you use a more traditional mantra (such as om padme mani hum) it is usually intended for the benefit of all, including yourself. Maybe it works better that way!
