I have been a hopeless optimist many times in my life, and this week was no exception.  I made a common mistake that could have made me terribly upset and “ruined my day,” but instead, I stayed calm and it all worked out amazingly well!

I have a once-a-month EFT Borrowing Benefits Groups at my office in Hinsdale, Illinois.  I arrived early and ran down the hall to take a quick potty break before my group. I got back and discovered that I accidentally LOCKED myself out.  Inside were all of my keys and my winter coat.  For those of you in warmer climates, it is way below zero here in the Windy City!

Amazingly, I didn’t panic, or beat myself up. I knew I could conduct my group in our little waiting room.  As my clients came in, I asked if anyone knew how to pick a lock.  No one did, and I STILL didn’t panic.  Then, more new clients came in, and I asked them the same question.

Here’s the miracle part–one man said:  I am a retired LOCKSMITH!!

Within minutes, the door was open and we continued our group inside.  I hugged the man and thanked him profusely.  He didn’t think it was any big deal, but I certainly did.

In the past, I might have been entirely too upset to conduct my group, and I probably would have cancelled it. My energy might have been so out of balance that I would have created a big drama for myself.

As I always like to point out, there are many, many ways to shift energy. We all do it but most of the time, we are pretty unconscious about it. What’s special about EFT is that it provides a system for moving energy in the moment, anytime you wish.

By the way, please check out my two new programs coming up that I will be teaching with Alina Frank, my EFT colleague from Washington state.  We have created EFTMentors, and on our website: www.EFTMentors.com you can sign up for our 6 month mentorship program and our exciting EFT healing extravaganza on April 10 and 11, 2009.
