It is great to be in a position where we are owning our progress. It feels so good to take pride in a job well done.
Sometimes we feel that we need to do ALL the work towards achieving our goals and that we are a failure on some level if we aren’t self-sufficient and able do everything ourselves.
There is no shame is asking for help. (We would be mad if others didn’t ask us for help when they needed it!)
Today we are going to tap to be easy with ourselves knowing it is OK to ask for help.
“Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.” – Confucius
In the hustle of my daily life it is very easy for me to miss the beauty that surrounding me. It is not hard to see if I take the time to see it. When I do see it it makes everything in my day brighter and easier.
Today we tap to open our eyes to see the beauty all around.
It is good to have big goals. They help us to stretch. They help us to move to places that we never thought possible before.
But sometimes those big goals leave us feeling overwhelmed, like they are too big, or too far, and that we aren’t made for greatness.
When this happens it can hinder our progress because it feels fruitless to work towards something we will never achieve.
Today we are going to tap for when our goals feel so big that they seem impossible.
It can be very frustrating to lack a clear vision of what we want.
We feel lost. We feel like we are wasting time. We feel like we are missing out on opportunities.
Today we are going to tap for that feeling of knowing that we want better and more, but have no clue what better or more looks like.
“We have to stop and be humble enough to understand that there is something called mystery.” – Paulo Coelho
I think one of the hallmarks of my maturing is the fact that I am becoming more and more comfortable with mystery. This does not mean that I have stopped striving to learn more and to understand. It simply means that when I don’t fully understand I can still be at peace in the moment.
Today we tap to be more comfortable with mystery.
Having hope is a good thing. Striving for big goals is good. But sometimes we worry that we’re hoping for too much.
Part of us knows what it is like to be let down and that part holds us back from dreaming big to save us the disappointment of our goals not living up to expectation.
Today we are going to tap for the worry that achieving our goals won’t be as great as we hoped.

Sept 28th Tap-Along Call Recording
(audio 46m18s)
It is nice to have the care and support of the people in our life. Because they want what is best for us they are willing to offer advice and suggestions on what to do next. But problems can arise when they are suggesting a course of action based on what would make them happy, which is not necessarily what would make us happy. Sometimes it is hard to tell if what others are encouraging us to do is what is best for us.
Today we are going to tap for when we are not sure if we are really getting the best advice.
Norman Vincent Peale is right: “Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.”
There are times when we feel like we are being arrogant and egomaniacal when we believe in ourselves. Self belief and confidence is good and many times needed.
Today we tap to be comfortable in self belief.
Not knowing exactly what we want and moving from goal to goal can feel very unsettling and at a certain point the feels like we are just spinning our wheels because we aren’t getting anywhere.
Today we are going to tap for those times where indecision feels like it is getting the best of us.
