I have found in my own life that there are times that I hold myself back from taking action. I need to be absolutely ready before I do anything.
The truth is that I am rarely absolutely ready. If I waited until I were then I would never take action at all.
Today we are going to tap for giving ourselves permission to take action even before we are completely ready.
Working towards our goals is not always easy. When times are tough our enthusiasm does a great job of carrying us forward.
But sometimes our goals feel so distant or so hard to achieve that we lack the energy needed to put in the hard work.
Today we are going to tap for the lack of enthusiasm that can come with losing touch with our goals.
There are people in our lives who have strong opinions about what we should be doing, why we should be doing it, and how we should go about doing it. AND in many cases they are more than willing to share their opinion with us.
When we are unclear about exactly what we would like we can feel hesitant about taking action because we know these people will judge our lack of clarity.
Today we are going to tap for taking action in the face of not having a clear vision of where we are heading.
Kindness goes a long way and can transform many situations. It is important to remember that kindness is a choice.

Things often don’t work out as planned. We don’t do things as well as we would like and we encounter unexpected obstacles along the way. Our progress feels frustratingly slow when this happens.
Today we are going to tap for when we feel like we are taking one step forward followed by two steps back.

Today we are going to tap for when our loved ones feel judged by us when we share our goals and progress.

Deciding that we want more and different in life means stepping out of our comfort zone which can feel scary.
Today we tap to embrace fear as we make bold choices.

Our goals are very personal because they are about making our lives better, even when they also improve the lives of others. There will be times when it feels like our loved ones don’t understand.
Today we are going to tap for when others don’t think our goals are important.

Learning new things is great. It helps us to grow, move forward, and become more self-sufficient. Unfortunately, we can (or others can) feel like we always need to be learning something new. Once we have gained one skill there is a pull to learn another.
Today we are going to tap for the concern that learning something new will only create the need to learn something else new.

For the most part we build lives that are certain and consistent. If life is predictable it is manageable.
The truth is that growth and progress mostly happen when we are outside the consistent. Today we are going to tap to be open to uncertainty and the gifts it can bring.
