Our success doesn’t happen in a vacuum. When we make progress it can directly impact the lives of our loved ones.
Our loved ones can sometimes encourage us to take action because of the benefits they will receive, rather than what we get out of it.
Today we are going to tap for making sure we are pursuing our goals because they are what we want for ourselves.
When we make changes in our life it often means doing more work because we are taking new actions and learning new things.
Our loved ones sometimes want to reap the benefits of our hard work as well. It is fine for us to choose to share our progress with our loved ones but more difficult if there is a sense of expectation from them.
Feeling worried about others taking advantage of our progress can hold us back from taking action.
Today we are going to tap for those times we worry about others expecting us to do for them what we are doing for ourselves.
We are lucky to have people in our lives who want better for us. We are lucky to have have people in our life who want more for us.
The problem is that sometimes our loved ones use their own sensibilities and desires to name what they think is best for us. When this happens it can be hard to tell if we are working towards a goal we genuinely want or one others think we should want.
Today we are going to tap to help find peace around working towards the goals that we think are best for us.
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.
Our hard work doesn’t really give other people permission to be lazy but some may interpret our action as a cue for them to take it easy because we are doing more.
If taking responsibility and working hard allows others to be lazy it’s possible that we will feel less motivated to take action.
Today we are going to tap for feeling concerned that our hard work gives others permission to stop making an effort.
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.
Achieving a new goal often means a lot of hard work as we learn new skills and take on extra tasks.
Because of all the work involved it is easy for part of us to feel concerned that maintaining our success will take just as much time and effort as was required to achieve it.
Today we are tapping for that concern.
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.
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.
