Failure is hard. Not only do we not get what we have worked for, but it also provides proof that when we work towards our goals we do not always succeed.
Sometimes the fear of failure and the pain that comes with that failure is greater than the joy of success. When this happens we don’t take the action we need to take.
Today we are going to tap for those times when we hold ourselves back from taking action because we feel we can’t endure another failure.
It is important that we organize ourselves and have a clear understanding of exactly what we need to do in order to achieve our goals.
The problem comes when we take a step back and realize how much work we need to do. Seeing all the steps laid out in detail can feel like too much and that we will never be able to do it all.
Today we are going to tap for not being able to start because there like an overwhelming amount to do.
Sometimes we can see that we failed at something. At other times where we feel like we ARE a failure.
Failure is not an outcome of something we attempted, but who we are. We feel like we are a failure.
When we feel like a failure it is really hard to take action because we feel hopeless.
Today we are going to tap for when we feel like we are a failure.
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.
My schedule is already over-booked and I don’t have time to do all the small things I need to do to be healthy.
If I can’t take care of myself, how can I add new tasks and to-dos to work towards my goals?
Today we are going to tap for the concern about finding sufficient time both to care for ourselves and to work towards our goals.
Things often don’t work out as planned. We don’t do things as well as we would like and we encounter unexpected obstacles along the way. Our progress feels frustratingly slow when this happens.
Today we are going to tap for when we feel like we are taking one step forward followed by two steps back.

Even though tapping is such a powerful tool there are times where we lose faith and hope that the tapping we are doing will make a difference.
Today we are tapping for those times when we feel like an issue is just too big for tapping to be helpful.

We know there is a lot that needs to be done in order to reach our goals, but sometimes it seems like it would be much more fun to stare out the window and dream of what might be instead of taking action.
Today we are going to tap to find motivation to take action towards our goals and not just fantasize about a better life.

It takes work to reach a new level of success and to achieve our goals. We sometimes fear success because we can see that if we had to work so hard to achieve it, then it must follow that we will have to continue to work just as hard to maintain that success.
Today we are going to tap for the fear that success will mean that we will have to keep working as hard to maintain it.

Often when we are striving for something new we are working toward things we have never achieved before. When we accomplish the goal it can propel us to try and achieve more.
One of the downsides of success is believing that it should be our new normal and anything falling short feels like a failure because we now know of what we are capable.
Today we are going to tap for the fear that success will bring higher (and unreasonable) expectations of ourselves.
