I've learnt a couple great lessons from Carol Look's work and will be sharing them in this article.

Lesson #1: Sometimes the problem is not what we think it is

One of the first things that struck me about Carol's work is that she's very adept at digging around and finding the real problem behind the problem. Often times, we'll want to tap out some kind of emotion and it seems stubborn - it just doesn't work as well as we hoped.

What Carol then does is ask smart questions like: "What's stopping you from achieving x?"

She also goes into more specific issues such as deservingness, capability and desire. She finds the aspects that contribute to each one of those issues and taps them out.

Ask questions such as: "Why don't I believe I deserve to have x?" or "Why don't I believe I'm capable of having x?"

Those usually bring out the underlying causes, which can be quickly taken care of with EFT.

Lesson #2: The power of the daily gratitude journal

I'd heard about gratitude journals from at least a couple teachers before Carol. However, she really pointed about the power behind them and showed me real world results. That is what I needed to take the next step and start my own.

Since then the results have been amazing and I highly recommend it to anyone.

The basic idea is that you write down about 10 to 20 things for which you are grateful, every day. These could be small or big things. Something like: "I'm grateful for the great weather today!" works great.

By writing these down, in your own handwriting, you re-affirm positive thoughts within your mind. Over time, this habit increases your vibration, making it more positive and more powerful. This in turn attracts more positive into your life!

The best way to get into the habit of completing a gratitude journal is to set aside a specific time in which you will do it every day. Ideally, this should be in the morning before you start your day. This way, it's much harder for you to get derailed or simply forget about the task.

To take it a step further, you could set up a reward for yourself so that when you complete your journal, you're allowed to have something you really enjoy. I like using a chocolate chip muffin! You could setup a negative reinforcement too. One that I often use is that if I don't fill in my journal I gave my baby sister 50 bucks. She's great at checking up on me J

I hope you found this brief summary of Carol Look's teachings useful. Apply the lessons to your own life and experience the change.
