Taking action towards our dreams and goals comes at a cost. We have to devote time and attention to move towards them and often other things are sacrificed.
Because our goals will make our life better in the long term, it is worth making that sacrifice in the short term.
Today we are going to tap so that we know that to be true both intellectually and emotionally.
Even though life may not be perfect right now, it is manageable. We know what to expect and we have established ways of responding.
Achieving our goals brings new and sometimes unpredictable things into our lives, which can be complicated. When we anticipate this complexity it can hold us back from taking action because we want life to be easy.
Today we are going to tap for the worry of life becoming more complicated after achieving our goals.
No goal that we create will be the be all and end all goal. Not matter what we achieve we will want something more soon afterwards.
Knowing this, it’s easy to become demotivated about our current goals because they feel less worthwhile if we are just going to want something else right after achieving them.
Today we are going to tap on recognizing the value of our current goals even though we recognize that there will be more goals and dreams that follow.
Thinking negative thoughts about others costs us a great deal of energy. In most cases it doesn’t do us any good and the objects of our dislike have no idea we are even doing it.
Today we are going to tap to send love to everyone.
This does not mean we are endorsing what others are doing. This does not mean we like the choices they are making. And this does not mean that we are inviting them into our lives.
By tapping in this way we are choosing not carry around these negative thoughts, which makes way for something more positive in their place.
Often when we are working toward new goals we need to acquire new skills and learning something new can take up a great deal of energy.
Today we are going to tap for when we feel overwhelmed by the amount of effort required to learn something new.
At times we are able to see so clearly how our life will be much better after we have achieved certain goals. This clarity can also shine a light on how far we are from success, which causes us considerable pain.
Today we are going to tap for the distress that comes with not yet having achieving our goals and how that impacts our ability to take action right now.
It is hard to know what the true outcome is of our actions. Even when we are taking what we think is right action it is difficult to know if it will work out in the future.
It is easy to over think what we are doing because we want it to work out now and in the future.
Today we are going to tap to trust ourselves enough to know that is we do the best we can it is going to be more than enough.
Our success doesn’t happen in a vacuum. When we make progress it can directly impact the lives of our loved ones.
Our loved ones can sometimes encourage us to take action because of the benefits they will receive, rather than what we get out of it.
Today we are going to tap for making sure we are pursuing our goals because they are what we want for ourselves.
When we make changes in our life it often means doing more work because we are taking new actions and learning new things.
Our loved ones sometimes want to reap the benefits of our hard work as well. It is fine for us to choose to share our progress with our loved ones but more difficult if there is a sense of expectation from them.
Feeling worried about others taking advantage of our progress can hold us back from taking action.
Today we are going to tap for those times we worry about others expecting us to do for them what we are doing for ourselves.
It is so easy to feel small and as if we aren’t making any real difference in the world.
But it’s important to recognize the small actions we take do make a difference and in many cases they make a difference in ways we may never know or see.
Today we are going to tap recognize that we do add value to the world around us.
