Sometimes we can spend so much time and energy taking care of others that we can lose ourselves in the effort. When can get to the place where our identity gets wrapped up in taking care of others. This can be a dangerous way to define ourselves. Here is a short tap along audio to help you see yourself for who you are, not for what you do for others.

There is a reason that things drive us crazy. It is because there is something in those moments that challenges the way we see ourselves and the world, or that challenges the way we would like to see ourselves in the world. We can learn a great deal from these moments if we can take a step back and ask why we are being driven so crazy. Even if we aren’t able to do that in the moment, but reflect after the fact, then we can make great strides.

(Free TapAlong Audio) We are connected to many people in our lives. Some of the connections are very close while others are not so close. When we make choices we don’t make them in a vacuum. We know our choices impact other people. Sometimes our choices are going to directly affect others with the outcome while other times it simply effects the way they see us. Because we consider how others are going to think about us because of our choices, there are time we hesitate because we are not sure how others are going to react (or we fear the reaction is going to be negative). On a subconscious level we won’t act unless we feel we have the permission of those around us to go after our dream. It feels a little odd to ask someone permission to chase our dreams, but it is important to note the places where we are holding ourselves back.

I have been using tapping for the last six months and love the results. One thing I have noticed is that my family is not excited about my change at all. Some of the members of my family even resent it. Is this common and is there anything I can do about it?

I want to share tapping with my friends and family and I would even like to teach workshops on tapping, but I don’t know where to begin. Do you have any suggestions on how to teach tapping to others?

One of the many ways we can recognize the areas of our life for healing is by looking at the part of others peoples lives that frustrate us. Here is a simple tool to turn our frustrations in to tapping phrases.

I receive questions all the time about how one can tap to change someone else. There are some very specific implementations of surrogate tapping (like the work I do with autistic children). But it is not as simple as tapping to change the choices of someone else. We can’t tap to change someone else free will, but we can tap to create an environment where we give others a chance to make new and different choices. In this podcast I explain 3 ways in which we can take to help others to make different choices by working on our own emotions, make others feel loved and save, and by not bring our issues to the table.
