Working toward our goals can feel like a solitary task and it is nice to feel that we can include the other people in our lives by sharing about our endeavors.
So it can feel very deflating we were are working hard and making progress, only to realize that the people in our lives have not noticed.
Today we are going to tap for when we feel bad for when others don’t recognize our progress.
I Have Come So Far And No One Seems To Notice
I know I’ve been working really hard…I put in effort…I put in time…I have made progress…And I appreciate the fact…That I’m moving forward…And I appreciate the fact…I’m doing all of this for me…This is for my life to be better…This is for me to reach my goals…Others’ lives will be improved as well…And even though this is about me…And even though there are times where I feel like I’m working alone…The fact that I’m stepping into this now…And doing it in such a way…That isn’t being noticed…Is a little bit frustrating…It feels good to be acknowledged…It feels good for people to see me moving forward…It feels good to have my effort recognized…It feels good for people to see I’m changing…And some of the time that simply doesn’t happen…And it’s not that people don’t want to notice…It’s not that they don’t care about my progress…It’s that sometimes it’s really hard…For people to see beyond themselves…And to see beyond their own experience…I appreciate what is happening…I appreciate that I’m moving forward…I only wish that there was some way…That the people around me could see it…Not that I need validation…Not that I need affirmation…But it’s OK to be noticed…I give myself permission to recognize…Just because they don’t notice…Doesn’t mean they don’t care…Just because they don’t comment…Doesn’t mean they don’t care…When they don’t comment…It usually means they are caught up in their own stuff…It’s OK for me to be proud…It’s OK for me to point out my accomplishments to others…I don’t have to wait for them to see it…And I don’t have to wait for them to validate it.
