Working with clients has allowed me to understand a fundamental of human nature: All the choices we make are functional choices.
In practical terms this means that all of the choices we make are the best choices that we can make in any given moment based on the information we have and our current resource state.
This does not mean that we always make good choices, choices we are proud of, or choices that we would like to make again in the future. Instead it means that we are making choices for a reason.
When we are able to recognize the emotional and intellectual reasons behind our choices, it highlights the areas we can address with tapping so that we can make better choices in the future.
In this podcast I share how you can understand why on a subconscious level we are making “functional” choices AND how we can make better choices in the future.
You can find the full tapping script as a pdf of this audio over at Tapping Q and A Podcast Scripts and Transcripts.

Gene – I loved this idea of functional choices, and your example of the layered cookies, and the cookie dust (I know it very well). I listened and tapped and noted the number of the audio because I plan to use it again, and maybe again. It helps me with what comes up for me, i.e. why do I do this to myself over and over? This acknowledges the issue, even respects it, but most especially it allows me to stay present with it. Thank you so much!
