There are times when we feel like we have two left feet. Nothing comes easily and nothing turns out the way we want.
Today we are going to tap for those times where it feels like we just can’t do anything right.
I Can’t Seem To Do Anything Right
(audio 4m27s)
I just can’t seem to get it right…No matter what I try…No matter how I try…No matter what happens…I can’t seem to get it right…And it’s really frustrating…Because I want so much better…I want so much more…I simply want this to work out…And the fact that I continue to find myself stuck…Taking effort and not getting anywhere is so frustrating…I feel like I can’t catch a break…I feel like I can’t move over…I give myself permission…To recognize the fact…That in the past, things went wrong…Before they went right…Almost every success I have ever had…In my entire life…I did not get right on the first time…And many times I didn’t get it right on the first ten times…I give myself permission…To be easy with myself…And recognize it’s OK to be frustrated…With things not going right…That frustration is just a part of me…That wants better and more…That frustration is just a part of me…That wants to move forward in a constructive way…That frustration is just a part of me that is tired of it not working out…I acknowledge the frustration…I appreciate the frustration…I don’t want to live in the frustration…But I’m glad there’s a part of me that wants better…I’m glad that there’s a part of me that wants more…I give myself permission…To be easy with myself…As I struggle to find my way…Just because things aren’t going right at the moment…Doesn’t mean I’m going to be stuck this way…I give myself permission to take a deep breath…To reset…To refocus…And to try again…Knowing that when I do this…It will work out…Maybe not as easily as I’d like…Maybe not as quickly as I’d like…Maybe not as effortlessly as I’d like…But this is too important…For me to quit…To quit fighting…And to quit trying to find a path…I can and will make this work out.
whew thank you I am amazed at how ell this hit the stop both for the immediate work crisis but also reflected back to my childhood core issue. since it was working on both, i found that as i tapped my mind , and closed eye images, shifted back and forth between the now/people and dad/little girl me, actually, sometimes even, briefly to another current time love rather than work issue/person.
IS it important to stay focused on only one (the same one) time/issue? or should I let the flow between times/life experiences just happen while concentrating on the phrases? I realize I could do a focused tapping separately on each one, but it feels like that would be an absolutely endless stream of people/places/issues and likely just more will arise as I repeat and try to concentrate and stay on just any particular one. Writing my last sentence makes me feel overwhelmed and despairing.
