In reality we have control over very little in the world. Even so, the control we DO have over our thoughts, our words and our actions gives us access to considerable power.
Today we are going to tap to help us to focus on those things we can control and to appreciate how powerful they are in changing our life and changing the world.
Stretching is scary. It means doing things that are outside our comfort zone. It means doing things that we aren’t confident at doing.
But we know that stretching allows us to grow.
Today we are going to tap to give ourselves room to stretch, just a little.
It’s useful to be able to see the big picture when we are trying to create change in our lives.
But it is easy to get ahead of ourselves as we are working towards a goal and wind up thinking only of the future.
Today we are going to tap to ground ourselves in the moment and take life one day at a time.
It is all too easy for me to get caught up in my thoughts and the needs of my head. It is good to be thoughtful and that I use my head, but it shouldn’t be the primary or only place from which I act.
Today we are going to tap for acting from our heart and not from our head.
The hardest person to forgive is yourself.
And the self is the person to whom we need to be most forgiving.
Today we are going to tap to extend forgiveness towards ourselves.
Our emotions provide us with internal guidance to how we understand what is happening to us in any given moment.
Even when our emotions are extreme and overwhelming they are sharing information with us.
Today we are going to tap to be accepting of our emotions and to understanding the information they are sharing with us.
It is easy to see what we don’t do perfectly and where we are deficient. But the unique people we are serves others and serves the world.
Today we are going to tap to help to see ourselves as the gift to others and the world that we truly are.
When things aren’t perfect it is easy to feel dissatisfied. On one level aspiring to bigger and better things is useful, but we also risk being so wrapped up in it that we miss the joy and appreciation of what is good in the here and now.
Today we are going to tap for being OK with where we are and how we feel in this moment.
It seems all too easy to focus on the things that aren’t going right and aren’t perfect.
Many times we look past the things that are going really well to see what isn’t.
Today we are going to tap to being open to seeing and accepting the best that life is offering us right now.
I find it very difficult to extend the love and affection I give to others towards myself. I can easily give others the benefit of the doubt, but can’t do the same for myself.
Today we are going to tap to recognize how we are worthy of our own love and affection.
