Sometimes we move toward our goals because they are truly what we want. But there are also times when we act because we think it is what we are supposed to be do.
When we feel like we have to do something rather than want to do something we don’t take effective action and can end up stuck and resentful.
Today we are going to tap for those times when we act because we feel obliged to do so, rather than because we want to.
I Feel Like I Am Doing This Because This Is What I Am Supposed To Do
(audio 4m13s)
There’s a part of me…That doesn’t like being told what to do…That doesn’t like others telling me what to do…I want to be my own person…I want to be independent…I want to move forward…And do my own thing…And when people tell me what to do…It feels like they don’t trust me…It feels like they don’t believe me…It feels like they’re trying to control me…There’s a part of me that resists that…There’s a part of me that wants independence…That wants me to move forward on my own…That wants me to be successful…And it feels like if it’s doing what others say…Then I am giving in…And instead of doing what’s best for me…I am doing what others want…And I want to fight back…But I give myself permission to know…The only reason I am taking action…Is because it’s the action I want to take…The only reason I am making this choice…Is because it’s the best choice for me…It doesn’t matter what other people want…Coincidentally, my choices…Might coincide what other people tell me to do…But that is nothing more than a coincidence…I am doing this for me…And for only me…I am doing this because it is what’s best for me…I am doing this because it’s right for me…It does not matter what other people say…I am not doing it for them…Even if they take credit for my action…And say “I told you so”…I am not doing it for them…I am doing it for me…Because it is right for me…It is what is best for me…And as I move forward…I’m making choices that are right for me…Because I choose them for me.
