Good Morning!

The internet is a powerful tool for connection and sharing.

This email is a perfect example of that fact. I have never met 99.9% of the people reading this note and we still have a connection.

As powerful as this connection is, sometimes it can cause problems. Because information can be shared so widely and with so little effort it is easy for misinformation to spread.

Our understanding of the word "not" is the perfect example.

I have attended numerous trainings and seminars with trainers I trust who have said "when you are creating goal statements make sure you only use the positive because the subconscious mind doesn't hear the word 'not’. If you say 'I don't want to smoke' your subconscious mind hears 'I want to smoke.'"

It is one of those ideas that has been repeated so often that we start to accept it as fact.

I wanted to get to the bottom of this issue because it didn't seem to make sense to me.

So this week I have the truth about the word “not” for you: how to use it when tapping, when you shouldn't use it in your tapping, and when it doesn't make a difference.

Listen to the short audio here: http://tappingqanda.com/?p=9862

Given that there so much conflicting opinion about this topic I would love to hear your thoughts on it!

As always, let me know what I can do for you.
