Sometimes we have a clear idea of exact what we want, why we want it, and what we need to do to achieve it. In those empowered moments we feel like we are completely in control.
At other times we can feel confused or fuzzy about what exactly we want and fail to take action because we lack confidence.
Today we are going to tap for when our confusion about what we want is holding us back from taking action.
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.
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.
Working towards our goals is not always easy. When times are tough our enthusiasm does a great job of carrying us forward.
But sometimes our goals feel so distant or so hard to achieve that we lack the energy needed to put in the hard work.
Today we are going to tap for the lack of enthusiasm that can come with losing touch with our goals.
Deciding that we need a change in our lives can feel overwhelming because there are so many new possibles. As exciting new possibilities are we can feel torn because they are sometimes radically different and mutually exclusive.
Today we are going to tap for those times when we feel our goals are pulling us in opposing directions all at once.

When it takes time to reach our goals it can be easy to lose touch with why we wanted them in the first place. We become bogged down in the details and tasks and lose touch with why we wanted the change in the first place.
This can really kill our enthusiasm for working towards our goal!
Today we are going to tap for losing touch with why we wanted our goals in the first place.
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.
It can be really hard when we lose our way. At first we think we know where we are going. We might even have a really good idea where we are going.
Along the way we learn things about ourselves and our goal and when this happens it provides clarity.
Other times it just raises more questions than we had when we began.
Today we are going to tap for when we lose touch with what we want.
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.
