4 Questions To Start The Day

[Don’t forget to tap on your goal list!]

Over the last few weeks I have received a lot of questions about how to work toward goals when you still don’t have a clear idea of what your goals should be. Today I have tool that will help you to start really small. Even if you do have a clear idea of what your goals are, this a great way to approach your day.

Don’t be fooled by the simplicity of this tool. I learned this just a few weeks ago and have been trying it out. I love it! It really works.

It will be most effective if used at the beginning of your day, but that doesn’t necessarily mean as soon as you get up. I have been using this when I start my work day.

[Note: In addition to working for the thing I was tapping for, I also found myself more productive with all of my other goals.]

I encourage you to write out your answer. I have included a pdf you can print out to make it easier. After you have answered each of the questions tap through the entire script a few times.

Complete the following phrases.

1) Right now I feel…
because…

4) One resource I could call on to help me to meet this goal is…
and I give myself permission to call on that resource.

Here is an example of what it might look like:

Right now I feel… like I am already way behind
because… I started my day late and no matter what I do I don’t think I can catch up.

At the end of the day I want to feel… like I have accomplished something today and that I have moved forward
I want to feel like this because… Knowing I have accomplished something makes me feel good, I will be in a better mood when I have dinner with my friends, and I will be more fun to be around.

The one thing I want to accomplish above everything else is… to have a clear plan of what I need to write over the next few weeks
If I accomplish this I will have… the calm that comes with having a plan
and… a plan to follow so I can keep on track and not have to worry about the big picture and just focus on what is in front of me
and… I will feel excited about knowing that good things are coming.

One resource I could call on to meet this goal is… looking through self help forums to see what people are talking about and what they really need help with
and I give myself permission to call on this resource.
