Everyday Bliss

I have some wonderful friends and fellow Emotional Freedom Technique practitioners – masters of the art, from Australia, Peak Performance Psychologist Steve Wells and medical doctor David Lake, M.D. They have a wonderful newsletter I think you should be aware of (subscribe here: http://eftdownunder.com) from which I’m excerpting Steve’s great article on using EFT to ensure Peak Performance. A classic!  Enjoy…

I am going to outline how EFT can be used to assist you to achieve peak performance in any area. This article provides an overview of the 7 steps to peak performance.

Step Number 1 to peak performance is to decide to be a peak performer. I don’t know anyone who ended up becoming a true peak performer without deciding to do so. Decide what success is to you and decide to do what it takes to be successful. If deciding is difficult or intimidating, use EFT on your fears and indecision.

Step Number 2 to peak performance is to break through the barriers. Mostly, these barriers are internal and consist of your beliefs and negative programming. The minute you decide to go for your goals you’ll find all sorts of mental and emotional barriers will rise up. You must overcome these barriers in order to succeed. This is where EFT comes to the fore. The biggest barriers holding you back are your identity beliefs – your beliefs about the sort of person you are and what is possible for you. There are many ways to treat beliefs using EFT but the best starting point is to simply insert the belief statement into the set-up and conduct a few rounds of tapping whilst repeating the belief statement at every tapping point.

Step Number 3 to peak performance is to clarify your values. If you don’t know what’s important you will be constantly grinding your gears. To achieve true success, you must determine what is most important to you and in what order your priorities lie. Conflicts in values are some of the greatest underlying causes of procrastination and self-sabotage. When you know what you really want and have cleared out the internal push-pull you are able to go for it 100%. In my workshops and in my upcoming book I teach you how to use EFT to help you iron out conflicts in your values and free up massive amounts of energy for success.

Step Number 4 to peak performance is to set goals based on your most important values. Many people have a lot of good ideas and dreams but they don’t always realize them, mainly because they never take these ideas and make them into goals. Goal setting is a hallmark of high achievers.

Maryam’s Note: When you set a goal, WRITE IT DOWN! The power of the written word is tremendous on the human psyche. Even better, give your goal a date of completion and share that with a goal-partner (your personal coach, significatn other or supportive friend) who will help hold you accountable. Commitment is a very important part of the process as Steve goes on to say:

Step Number 5 to peak performance is to commit to achieving your goals. Without commitment your goals will always be dreams. With commitment comes power and in fact a very special process in the universe is invoked once you indicate your willingness. Prior to making that commitment you will almost certainly be faced with massive fear and doubt – and this is something that will need to be treated with EFT.

Step Number 6 to peak performance is to engage in organized planning. Once you have set your goals and committed to them, you must put together a plan to achieve them. An imperfect plan is better than no plan at all. If planning scares you, start tapping!

Step Number 7 to peak performance is to get into action and persist until you achieve your goals. Use EFT regularly to deal with the barriers that arise as you pursue your goals and to help you get over plateaux, reversals, unexpected barriers, deal with ongoing self-doubt and cope with the inevitable challenges and set-backs that will arise each time you move to the next level…
