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.
When we share our goals we give other people the opportunity to evaluate our efforts. If they know what we are working toward, they will also know how far away we are from achieving that goal.
Feeling like others are judging us can make us hesitant to state our goals.
Today we are going to tap for the times we hold ourselves back because we fear how others will judge our progress.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I know it doesn’t do me any good to be concerned about what other people think. But I do it anyway.
I because I know I shouldn’t worry about what they think I beat myself up for worrying about what they think.
Today we are going to tap for the emotions around worrying about what others think.
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.
