There are times when we have a clear vision of what we want, yet at others it feels like we think of something new we want every day.
It can be very confusing when we keep jumping from goal to goal, making us feel like we are directionless.
Today we are going to tap for feeling confused about what we want.
“You are beautiful. Know this. Anyone who tells you otherwise is simply lying. You are beautiful.”
― Steve Maraboli
I don’t know about you, but I need to hear that more. I need to believe that more.
You are beautiful. Today we are going to tap to being open to believing that.
It is OK to hate failure. Failure is no fun. Failure can drain your energy. Failure can even feel devastating.
But if we dwell in that hatred of failure then we will never try again in order to avoid that feeling in the future.
Today we tap to have a healthy relationship with the feeling of failure.
It can be really hard when we lose our way. At first we think we know where we are going. We might even have a really good idea where we are going.
Along the way we learn things about ourselves and our goal and when this happens it provides clarity.
Other times it just raises more questions than we had when we began.
Today we are going to tap for when we lose touch with what we want.
Lots of people ask me about how they can tap surrogately for their loved ones. I think Yoko Ono got it right when she said, “Healing yourself is connected with healing others.”
It is important that we recognize the importance of caring for ourselves when we are wanting to see a difference in the world. When we heal ourselves we then have the resources to care for others and, more importantly, our own healing clears space for others to heal.
When we are working towards our goals there will be times when we have an opportunity to take a big leap forward. We have to take action but because we know how important this one step can be in achieving our goal it feels overwhelming.
It is easy to feel paralyzed in this situation and unable to take action. Today we are going to tap for that feeling.
Making changes in our lives often has consequences and impacts our relationships. If you go back to school, for example, you may have less time to spend with loved ones.
It’s possible that the people your lives will react negatively when you change. They might feel like they are being left behind, that you think you too good for them, or they may feel bad because they don’t have the courage to make changes themselves.
Today we are going to tap for how the negative reactions of others to our change might slow us down.
In my mind, happiness is a choice. Not that we can always choose to be happy, but there are times in which we don’t choose to be happy when we could do. Today we are going to tap for creating the space to allow ourselves to choose a better emotional state.
There are things we know that we need to do because they are good for us. Even though it benefits us to know this, sometimes it can feel like a burden because feel we like we did as kids, being told to do things because they were “best for us”.
Today we are going to tap for those things we resist because they are “what is best for us”.
Sometimes it feels like our goals and standards are motivated by a sense of duty rooted in family traditions or the expectations of loved ones. When we are working towards a goal that isn’t our own it is hard to stay focused and motivated.
Today we are going to tap for when it feels like we are seeking something not because we want it, but because we are living up to someone else’s standards or expectations.
