When we are working towards something new it often times takes extra work. It would be create if our loved ones appreciated the work we were doing. When they do recognize our work it can serve as an encouragement.
Unfortunately, our loved ones sometime don’t understand or appreciate how hard we are working.
Today we are going to tap for those times they don’t.
We want our loved ones to support us and to be happy about our progress and success.
But there will be times when they just don’t get it. They don’t understand our goals or they don’t understand why they are important to us and this lack of support can influence our willingness to take action.
Today we are going to tap for those times when our loved ones don’t take our goals seriously.
The changes we make in our lives are often noticeable to our friends. This is often a good thing because appreciate our progress, encourage us to continue, and can be inspired by our effort and action.
But our success can also shine a light on our loved ones’ lack of progress leaving them feeling bad as a result. In wanting to save their feelings we may become hesitant about taking action.
Today we are going to tap for the fear of how others will judge themselves based on our progress.
It is easy to feel greedy and ungrateful when we want more or better, as if we are devaluing what we already have. We ask ourselves, “If what I have is so great why would I want more or better?”
In reality it is possible to appreciate what we have AND work towards more and better.
Today we are going to tap to hold space for both of those feelings at the same time.
It is so easy to remember all of the times we have messed up.
Because of this it is also easy to feel unworthy of new opportunities as we have wasted those presented to us in the past.
Today we are going to tap for the feeling that we are undeserving of new opportunities because we have squandered others before.
We are naturally disposed to keeping our lives consistent. Consistent means predictable and so even when things are not perfect, they are manageable because we know what to expect.
This explains our natural disposition to strive to keep things the same.
Today we are going to tap for those times we resist change because it is less predictable.
It is good for us to recognize all the gifts we have in our life. The fact we have time to think about making our life better means that we are very fortunate.
There are times when our thankfulness can get the better of us and start to feel like guilt because we have so more than others. When this happens wanting more in life can feel greedy.
Today we are going to tap for those times we feel greedy for wanting more than we already have.
It is easy to get excited about our goals and how our life is changing. But not everyone is trying to make progress in the same way and sometimes those close to us feel self-conscious about their own lack of progress.
Today we are going to tap for when our loved ones feel judged by us when we share our goals and progress.

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.

When we are successful chances are that we will stand out in the crowd. This can feel really scary because when we are noticed it opens us to more scrutiny and criticism.
Today we are going to tap the fear of what could go wrong it we start to stand out because of our success.
