There are times when we feel like we have two left feet. Nothing comes easily and nothing turns out the way we want.
Today we are going to tap for those times where it feels like we just can’t do anything right.
There are times when we know we are heading the right direction. Our goals feel right. The action we are taking feels right. Everything is just working in flow.
Other times everything feels like a hard slog. No matter what we try it feels like a big effort and sometimes too much effort.
It can be easy to question if we are on the right track when things are not going easily or aren’t any fun.
Today we are going to tap for those times when we question if we are on the right path because it is so much work and not any fun.
It is good to have big goals. They help us to stretch. They help us to move to places that we never thought possible before.
But sometimes those big goals leave us feeling overwhelmed, like they are too big, or too far, and that we aren’t made for greatness.
When this happens it can hinder our progress because it feels fruitless to work towards something we will never achieve.
Today we are going to tap for when our goals feel so big that they seem impossible.
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.
As we become aware of the all the work we need to do to clear out the emotional blocks and limiting beliefs that are holding us back it can feel really daunting. So daunting that we don’t want to risk diving in to start on the work because it just seems too painful.
Today we are going to tap for feeling overwhelmed by the number of issues we feel we need to clear.
When we work for a long time towards a goal but don’t make the progress we would like it can be easy to lose motivation. When this happens we can get so frustrated that it feels like we no longer care if we reach our goal or not. The work we are doing seems so fruitless that we just don’t want to try anything else.
Today we are going to tap for when we lose our motivation and just don’t care if we get there or not.
There are times when it is really easy to dream big. If feels like everything is possible. Later we come back to our dreams and goals only to feel like they are way too big. They feel like they are a million miles away and there is no way we could achieve them.
Today we are going to tap for when it feels like our goals are too big and too unreasonable.
