When you are in traffic and REALLY have to pee....
Here's a very practical, although somewhat humorous, use for EFT. Have you ever been in traffic and received a "call from Mother Nature"? At first it is a mere warning sign but, eventually, the messenger becomes quite insistent. To make matters worse, what if there is no reasonable place to stop? Oh my! Now what do you do? Christina Elvin from the UK found herself in such a predicament and used EFT to "hold on" for 90 minutes. This is her story.
I was on my way to delivering an EFT presentation at a 'Healthy Living' event in July of last year. The event was only 110 miles away - a mere 2.5 hours drive - and all motorway/dual carriageway...so a very relaxed drive. At least so I thought. I realised I needed to have a pee after about 90 miles and as I pride myself on being able to 'hold my own' I felt I could hold on for the hotel easily - so didn't stop at the next services 9gas stations) coming up. After all I was only 20 miles away from my hotel. 20 minutes and I'd be ok.
Little did I know that there were major roadworks approaching! And boy, were they major! Within 5 miles the traffic slowed up, within another mile it was at a standstill. We were moving at less than 10 miles per hour, stop-start-stop-start. And I was begininng to get desperate. Normally I can 'hold on' for about 20 minutes comfortably. We'd covered 8 miles in 45minutes. No end in sight. Those blue porta-loos that the workman used looked sooo inviting ... dare I stop the car and use them? Nope - as the traffic was single lane it wasn't a good idea. So I did EFT -
"Even though I desperately want to pee, I can hold on"
"Even though I can't control the traffic, I can control my bladder".
Success! My thoughts moved away from the blue porta-loos, my thoughts were miles away. I was singing aloud to my Beatles' tapes, window turned down, a lovely hot day outside, bright blue sky, wonderful, after all I wasn't in a hurry to get there, I had plenty of time.
Then a vehicle in front broke down down, probably overheated - slowed me down even more. Eventually, after another 30 minutes the traffic speed quickened and we moved on. 3 miles later it was my turning off the motorway and I had to find my way to the hotel, which was only 3 miles from the motorway. I made it - just in time. I'd held on for 90 minutes in all. A normal 2.5hour journey took me 4hours just. Thanks to EFT I managed to 'hold my own'.
