Often when we are working toward new goals we need to acquire new skills and learning something new can take up a great deal of energy.
Today we are going to tap for when we feel overwhelmed by the amount of effort required to learn something new.

Today we are going to tap for when we feel overwhelmed by the amount of effort required to learn something new.
Small children are like sponges when it comes to learning. It is almost as if they learn by osmosis.
As we get older it can feel like we are just not able to pick up new things, particularly those involving unfamiliar technology. Part of us resists trying something new because we don’t want to deal with the frustration that comes with learning.
Today we are going to tap for feeling like we are too old or too slow to learn something new.
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.
To achieve our goals learning new skills is almost always a must. When we are learning new things there will be times where we are completely lost.
When we feel lost in something new it can feel really overwhelming, which in turn paralyses us and makes taking action almost impossible.
Today we are going to tap for the feeling of feeling utterly lost when learning something new.
When we bring new things in our life it often means that we need to learn new tasks. For most of us, school and learning is in our past. It has been a long time since we learned something new and we imagine that it will be too hard.
Today we are going to tap for the fear that we won’t be able to learn what we need to achieve our goals.

When we are trying new things we will encounter things that we don’t know how to do. Some of these things are so new and different that we don’t know where to start and they feel impossible for us to learn.
Today we are going to tap for the feeling of overwhelm that comes with new tasks that feel too complicated for us to learn.
As we work towards our goals it’s usual to come across many new skills that we need to learn. When this happens it can feel like that we don’t have enough time to do everything we need to do, much less find the time to master new skills.
Today we are going to tap for feeling overwhelmed by how much we feel like we have to learn in order to get everything done.
In order to achieve our goals we often have to learn how to do things we have never done before.
This can feel intimidating and overwhelming.
Today we are going to tap for feeling like it is too hard to learn what needs to learned to be successful.
I Can’t Do This Because There Is No Way I Can Learn What I Need To Be Successful
(audio 3m49s)
There are goals that I want to achieve…There are goals that I think are really important…It will make my life so much better…It will make other people’s lives better as well…And it’s something that is new for me…It is something that is different for me…It is something that feels like it is a long way away…And it’s going to require me to learn something new…It’s going to require me to do something new…It’s going to require me to do things I’ve never done before…And I feel like I have to learn so much…And it’s going to take so long to learn that…And I feel like I can’t move forward…Until I’ve learned all of those new things…But I don’t have to learn it all to start…As I begin to learn…I can start putting my new knowledge into action…As I begin to learn…I can start to implement what I know…It is a process…And nothing I have ever done…Didn’t require some learning first…And even though I have so much to learn…The goals I want to achieve…Are important enough to put in the effort…The goals I want to achieve…Mean so much to me I’m willing to try…It is going to take time…It is going to take effort…I am going to have to work at it…But the knowledge I gather…The knowledge I capture…Is enough to help me to move forward…To be successful…Learning new things is an investment…That takes time…But will pay dividends…For the rest of my life…I give myself permission…To take the time…To do the work…Knowing it will pay off in the long run.
There are lots of things that are out of our control. It is good that we are aware and take account of them, but if they consume our attention then we will never move towards our goals.
Today I want to focus on what I can control.
Let’s tap for that:
What I Can Control
(audio 3m39s)
There are a lot of things that happen…That don’t happen perfectly…That don’t happen exactly the way that I want…That don’t play to my advantage…And part of the reason this happens…Is I don’t control everything in the universe…There are a lot of things that happen…That I have no say in…And I have no effect on…This is just a fact of life…Even though this is true…It is possible…For me to be successful…With what little I control…Which is all of my thoughts and all of my actions…I can make a huge difference…In working towards…In creating my goals…It does me little good…To worry about…The things I can’t control…I certainly have to respond to…Those things that impact my life…But to spend time…Emotionally…Worrying about things…That I have no impact on…Is a huge waste of resources…It’s a huge spend of energy…Which it makes very, very difficult…For me to be successful…Because I’m concentrating on things that I can’t do anything about…I need to be aware…Of all the things that impact my life…Even those that I don’t control…But just because I’m aware…It doesn’t mean I’m spending energy worrying about what’s going to happen next…Or worrying about those things I can’t control…I give myself permission…To put my full energy…And concentration…On those things I control…On my thoughts…On my emotions…My choices…My actions…And when I do this…I will continue to move towards…My goals… Regardless what happens…Outside of my control.
On Tuesday’s call we talked about how to tap for something when you don’t have a clear focus on what you are tapping for.
Here is a quick little tool to use when you don’t know where to start.
Don’t Know Where To Start
(audio 2m44s)
I want to heal…I want to move forward…I want to release this issue…And for some reason, I can’t get the information from my system…My system is holding on to this information…And hiding it from me because at things that’s so helpful…My system thinks it’s making it more safe…By not revealing this information to me…I know my system wants health and well-being…And when the time is right, the information about this issue will come forward…So I can continue that healing process…I trust my system…I trust the process…I trust the information will come in due time…When I need it…I also recognize I don’t need to understand the issue…In order to release it…Even though there’s a part of me…That so desperately wants to understand…So it can prevent it in the future…I give myself permission to release without understanding… Because releasing and healing is my number one goal…
