When it comes to wanted and unwanted thoughts, it really only takes about 17 seconds to begin attracting another thought like the one you’re holding right now. Seventeen seconds. ⏰ If you can hold a thought — especially a wanted thought — in your mind for just 17 seconds, your mind will automatically begin reaching for another thought that feels similar. And the opposite is true too. Have you ever noticed that when you start thinking something negative, more negative thoughts seem to pile on? Almost like they’re being attracted to each other? It can feel like a tidal wave. 🌊 One thought becomes two. Two becomes ten. And suddenly you’re overwhelmed. That’s momentum. 🔄 So what if we worked with that on purpose? Instead of trying to jump to the “best thought you’ve ever had,” what if you asked: What is the best-feeling thought I can reach for in this moment? Not the most positive. Not the most enlightened. Just the best-feeling one available right now. Maybe it’s something simple. The sound of birds outside. Watching your cat groom itself. A branch moving in the breeze. The way the light hits the wall. Sometimes focusing outside of ourselves helps interrupt the spiral and gives the mind something softer to hold. Or maybe you imagine a place where you feel peaceful. A beach. 🏖️ A quiet stream. Your favorite chair. 🪑 A hammock in the backyard. A vacation memory where you felt completely at ease. 🌄 Can you take yourself there? Notice the light. The temperature of the air. The colors. Maybe even a scent on the breeze. And just stay with it. If you can hold that image, that feeling, for about 17 seconds, your mind will naturally begin reaching for another thought like it. That’s momentum working for you. 🔄 Whether we’re focusing on a better-feeling thought or a worse-feeling thought, the principle is the same: What we give our attention to grows in momentum. ⬅️ This practice is about gently directing the imagination. Not forcing positivity. Just the best feeling thought you can find in this moment only. 💭

Aloha Cafe' Fam! I hosted a live session today on the channel, and here is the unedited version. You may notice the technical difficulties in the first few minutes lol. If you attend my live streams on Insight Timer, you will notice this is similar to those sessions, but today focusing on EFT only. I will be posting the link to the edited version on YouTube once that goes live, but I wanted to give you all a sneak preview. Happy Friday!

A gentle tapping moment for appreciating the here & now 🌿 If it feels supportive, you can tap lightly on the points as you read: “Even though my mind keeps reaching for what’s next, I’m open to noticing this moment, just as it is.” “Right now, I’m here. I’m breathing. And that’s enough for this moment.” No need to feel grateful or positive — just present. That counts. I may turn this into a short audio at some point. For now, it’s just here to be here. If this felt supportive, you’re welcome to leave a 🌿 or ☕ — no words needed.

I made my own tapping affirmations! Anyone is free to use it and also let me know what you think! I never did this before and I like it :D Tapping is really helping me calm down and stay grounded, also practicing self love and compassion💖 I am safe (tapping hand) *deep breath in and out* in my mind (tapping head) *deep breath in and out* I am safe (tapping eye brows) *deep breath in and out* in my body (tapping next to eyes) *deep breath in and out* I release negativity (tapping under eyes) *deep breath in and out* and bring in (tapping under nose) *deep breath in and out* Positivity (tapping on chin) *deep breath in and out* I am safe (tapping collar bone) *deep breath in and out* In this space (cross hands and tap both side of chest under arms) *deep breath in and out* I’ve created for myself (cross hands and tap shoulders) *deep breath in and out and give yourself a hug!*
