It is good to have goals that we care about, but sometimes we care so much that reaching them consumes us, filling our thoughts night and day. When this happens our goals take on much more significance than is appropriate and we set ourselves up for a major letdown when we don’t reach them.
Today we are going to tap for when we let our desire to reach our goals become too big.
Sometimes I Care Too Much
(audio 3m30s)
I’m really excited about this goal…I want it to happen so bad…Because I know how much better my life is going to be…If I achieve this…It’s something I’ve wanted for a really long time…It’s something I think about a lot…It’s something that sometimes even keeps me up at night thinking about…Because I’m so excited about it…But even though this is important…It’s not my whole life…It’s not everything…It’s not all that I’m about…And even though having this will be really good…Even though having this will make it a lot better…I give myself permission…To be easy with myself…Knowing that if I don’t have this…Or if I don’t have this perfectly…It’s not going to be the end of the world…It’s not going to be the end of my life…It’s not going to be the end of everything…I give myself permission…To know that it’s good to care…To know that it’s good to want better…To know that it’s good to put my energy into this and fight for this…And it’s also important to know…This isn’t everything…This isn’t my only thing…There’s so much in me…That wants this to happen…But I can also keep it in perspective…I can strive for greatness…I can strive for this goal…And I can strive to keep it in balance…To know that this is good…To know that it’s great…And to know it’s not my everything.
