When we spend a lot of time thinking about what we want it is easy to feel confused. There are so many options and paths we could take, that there comes a time when we just don’t know what we want.
It is almost impossible to take action from this place of confusion because we have lost sight of the end goal.
Today we are going to tap for times when we don’t know what we want or what to do.
Small children are like sponges when it comes to learning. It is almost as if they learn by osmosis.
As we get older it can feel like we are just not able to pick up new things, particularly those involving unfamiliar technology. Part of us resists trying something new because we don’t want to deal with the frustration that comes with learning.
Today we are going to tap for feeling like we are too old or too slow to learn something new.
When we don’t know exactly what we want it is hard to know what the next step is. Amid this uncertainty it’s natural to resist taking action because it might be the wrong action and a waste of our time and energy.
Today we are going to tap for the resistance to taking action when we don’t have a clear vision of what we want.
There are times when it seems like everyone but us has a very clear vision of what they want or a clear vision of what our goals should be.
It isn’t for lack of effort, but for some reason we can’t seem to figure out what we want. AND it is easy to feel inadequate for not being able to figure that out.
Today we are going to tap for the embarrassment that comes with not having a clear vision of what we want.
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.
There are times when we know we want better, but we have no clue what that is.
Everyone we know is working towards new goals and it can feel embarrassing or isolating when we don’t have the same certainty of purpose. We can even feel like we are stupid or a failure because we don’t know what we want.
Today we are going to tap for the emotions around not knowing what we want when it feels like everyone else does.

It can be very frustrating to lack a clear vision of what we want.
We feel lost. We feel like we are wasting time. We feel like we are missing out on opportunities.
Today we are going to tap for that feeling of knowing that we want better and more, but have no clue what better or more looks like.
Not knowing exactly what we want and moving from goal to goal can feel very unsettling and at a certain point the feels like we are just spinning our wheels because we aren’t getting anywhere.
Today we are going to tap for those times where indecision feels like it is getting the best of us.
It always feels good to have a plan. When we know where we are heading it is easier to take action with confidence.
When we aren’t sure exactly of our direction it is harder to feel sure of our best course of action. In this situation it’s often easier not take action because we are concerned about doing the wrong thing and wasting time and effort.
Today we are going to tap for those times when we are hesitant about taking action because of our concern that it’s not the right one and will be a waste of our resources.
It is very common for us to not have a perfectly clear idea of what we want. We might have a vague sense, but aren’t confident in our goal or plan.
When this happens we can worry that since we don’t know exactly what we are shooting for, we will waste our time and effort by going down the wrong path. Today we are going to tap for that anxiety.
