What If No One Notices My Progress?

I have worked really hard over the last few years to make myself and my life better. I am proud of the changes I have made.

Sometimes people see those changes and it is nice to have that recognition.

There are other times where it goes unnoticed and, even worse, people assume I am like I was in the past. I find this demoralizing.

Today we are going to tap for feeling demoralized because others don’t notice our change.

What If No One Notices My Progress?
(audio 4m25s)

I want to keep moving forward…I want to keep making changes…I want to step towards my goals…Knowing full well that as I move forward…My life is going to change…I’m going to see things in new ways…I’m going to act in new ways…And I’m going to respond moment-to- moment in new ways…There’s part of me that’s worried…That the people around me…Aren’t going to recognize that change…They’re going to see me as I was…Simply assuming nothing has changed…Expecting me to fill the exact same role…And not appreciating all the effort that I have put in…And when this happens…It almost feels like the change was worthless… Because it hasn’t been validated…And recognized by those around me…It would be really nice if others could celebrate my transformation…It would be really nice if others saw me in the new way that I am…It would be really nice if they saw all the hard work I’ve put in to make this change…And that may or may not happen…But even if others don’t see my change…It doesn’t invalidate my change…Even if others continue to see me in the old way…It doesn’t mean my work wasn’t worth it…I need to keep moving forward…I need to keep striving for better…Even when others don’t recognize it…Even if others dismiss it…This simple fact that I’m changing…And moving forward…Is enough for the transformation…Maybe someday others will see the new me…But what’s most important is the fact that I keep moving forward…Keep producing the goals…Keep striving…Keep becoming the new me.
