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.
This is a lovely quote by Anne Lamott: “I do not at all understand the mystery of grace – only that it meets us where we are but does not leave us where it found us.”
I don’t understand grace, but for some reason the more open I am to grace working in my life the more likely it is to be there.
Today we tap to be open to grace.
As we work towards our goals it’s usual to come across many new skills that we need to learn. When this happens it can feel like that we don’t have enough time to do everything we need to do, much less find the time to master new skills.
Today we are going to tap for feeling overwhelmed by how much we feel like we have to learn in order to get everything done.

There are times when we have a clear vision of what we want, yet at others it feels like we think of something new we want every day.
It can be very confusing when we keep jumping from goal to goal, making us feel like we are directionless.
Today we are going to tap for feeling confused about what we want.
“You are beautiful. Know this. Anyone who tells you otherwise is simply lying. You are beautiful.”
― Steve Maraboli
I don’t know about you, but I need to hear that more. I need to believe that more.
You are beautiful. Today we are going to tap to being open to believing that.
It is OK to hate failure. Failure is no fun. Failure can drain your energy. Failure can even feel devastating.
But if we dwell in that hatred of failure then we will never try again in order to avoid that feeling in the future.
Today we tap to have a healthy relationship with the feeling of failure.
It can be really hard when we lose our way. At first we think we know where we are going. We might even have a really good idea where we are going.
Along the way we learn things about ourselves and our goal and when this happens it provides clarity.
Other times it just raises more questions than we had when we began.
Today we are going to tap for when we lose touch with what we want.
Lots of people ask me about how they can tap surrogately for their loved ones. I think Yoko Ono got it right when she said, “Healing yourself is connected with healing others.”
It is important that we recognize the importance of caring for ourselves when we are wanting to see a difference in the world. When we heal ourselves we then have the resources to care for others and, more importantly, our own healing clears space for others to heal.
When we are working towards our goals there will be times when we have an opportunity to take a big leap forward. We have to take action but because we know how important this one step can be in achieving our goal it feels overwhelming.
It is easy to feel paralyzed in this situation and unable to take action. Today we are going to tap for that feeling.
