There is no doubt that we are influenced by the families we grow up in. We spend so much time with our family that it’s entirely natural to adopt the same patterns and approaches.
At a certain point we recognize that we need to break free, but sometimes that is easier said than done.
Today we are going to tap to break those family patterns that no longer serve us.
It is important that we organize ourselves and have a clear understanding of exactly what we need to do in order to achieve our goals.
The problem comes when we take a step back and realize how much work we need to do. Seeing all the steps laid out in detail can feel like too much and that we will never be able to do it all.
Today we are going to tap for not being able to start because there like an overwhelming amount to do.
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.
Sometimes we move toward our goals because they are truly what we want. But there are also times when we act because we think it is what we are supposed to be do.
When we feel like we have to do something rather than want to do something we don’t take effective action and can end up stuck and resentful.
Today we are going to tap for those times when we act because we feel obliged to do so, rather than because we want to.
Sometimes we can see that we failed at something. At other times where we feel like we ARE a failure.
Failure is not an outcome of something we attempted, but who we are. We feel like we are a failure.
When we feel like a failure it is really hard to take action because we feel hopeless.
Today we are going to tap for when we feel like we are a failure.
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.
Trying new things reminds us of the times in the past that we tried new things.
As we do this we will be reminded of those things we tried in the past that didn’t work. Worrying about facing past failures can inhibit us from taking action now.
Today we are going to tap for the fear of facing past failures when trying new things.
To put it really simply: Failure is no fun!
And because it is no fun we want to avoid it. One of the easiest ways to avoid failure is simply not to try anything.
Today we are going to tap for the resistance to taking action because we are trying to avoid the pain of failure.
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.
There are people in my life who are very successful and have to work really hard to maintain that success. I don’t want to be one of those people who are successful and constantly fighting to remain so.
Today we are going to tap for the worry about our success being too much to handle once we have achieved it.
