I think giving thanks and celebrating big and small success is a really important thing to do. In addition to that it is important to recognize the gifts inside of the moments that don’t work out as planned.
Last December I was lucky enough to be a guest on Carol Look’s radio program. We talk about what we mean by celebration, thanks giving, abundance, create v responsibility, and we do a lot of tapping on how we can get clear so that we can make the necessary choices in our lives to move towards making choice to add to our lives the greatness we are worthy of.
Side note: Personally, I am a little uncomfortable with a lot of the law of attraction language and conversation. Some it borders on the woo-woo, and some of it is downright ridiculous. I don’t claim to have all the answers, but I do think I have a unique point of view, which we examine in this interview.

One of the phrases I hear frequently from clients is “I don’t deserve…” When we believe we don’t deserve something then we are going to prevent ourselves from getting it. It doesn’t matter if it is a better job, a loving relationship, or better health. If we don’t feel we deserve it then we aren’t going to move forward. In this reflection we look at how changing the way we understand the word “deserve” can change the way we heal.
I have a lot of issues that I want to use Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)/tapping on, but I don’t know where to begin. Should I do the memories chronologically or should I do them is chunks of related issues?
Often we are ourselves the biggest obstacle to our success. We hold beliefs that prevent us from trying, that prevent us from recognizing the opportunities we have to move forward. “Brian” was in a situation where he wanted to move forward with his business. He came up with a number of brilliant ideas to move his business ahead, but when push came to shove he wouldn’t take the steps he needed to take to move forward.
