What’s one area where you feel stuck, even though you know what to do? What do you suspect might be under that resistance?
I feel stuck with anxiety and depression in my life
I also feel stuck in feelings of depression but can’t pinpoint a start or what might be under the resistance.
I’m trying many different things and nothing seems to bring about any lasting change if any change at all.
I feel stuck with my CBTI that I am currently doing to help me get my sleep back, stuck in driving and flying anxiety, I AM READY TO CHANGE, I totally have the mindset to heal all these areas I just need help figuring out why I am not sleeping for my first challange, it used to be anxiety but I have been in EMDR therapy for that and anxiety, depression and worry are under control so not sure why my brain will not sleep. 2nd driving, I know why I have this, it’s my husband and his anger in the car and a few wrecks, flying, I know that’s from traveling for work non stop for over 14 years. 1. Sleeping isses, 2. Driving anxiety, 3. people pleasing, 4. flying anxiety, 4. resentment towards my enemies, I do not want to hurt, complain, gossip about anyone, not even my enemies. Really hope this week sheads some light. Blessings Deniese
Even though my will is very strong when I make a decision for myself, it sometimes vacillates when i am challenged too much, especially when it comes to personal values. I hate giving up to keep peace. Bottom line I am perfectly strong when living like an ermite but can’t live like that forever
What I suspect to be the resistance is that I feel threatened in my relationship because I don’t feel the expectation when I want to elevate myself and my boyfriend seems to be bothered by this so I keep asking myself the question if I have to chose between myself and having a boyfriend I am scared to be fully alone.
I’ve been trying to release an extra 20 lbs. For the last 20 years.
The resistance might be that I don’t deserve to look slim.
January 5, 2026; Day 1 of Limiting Belief Challenge
One area I feel stuck, even though I know what to do: That’s actually the problem. I know exactly what to do when I get the clients, I just don’t know how to get the clients.
What may be under that resistance (to getting the clients): I have Carol Look’s voice in my head:
What is the upside of not having clients? I don’t have to risk not being able to help the client solve their problems, and therefore risk finding out I can’t do this – because if I suck at this career, what else am I going to do ? (I am actually brilliant at what I do – the few clients I have confirmed that. But Gene, if I am so brilliant, why haven’t I got more clients?)
And, what is the downside to actually having clients? What if they don’t think I am good? What if I am not actually as brilliant at this as I wish to be? What if I can’t actually help them?
(I am currently creating the Wix website for my company; when I can get help in figuring out the bits, I shall be so excited to get it up and running! YouTube is up: @TheEFTStudio)
Sounds so familiar with me.
We find ways to step out of that resistance.
Good luck, keep tapping.

January 5, 2026…. Amended….
I have always had a belief that I am terrified of sales because how the heck does a person get clients? And lo and behold, this is the exact position I am in now: I am terrified of not getting clients, and am therefore NOT GETTING CLIENTS. Ugh. I know I am brilliant at what I can do with them once they have signed on, but how does a person get the clients in the first place? Gene, if I can get over, through, around, under that molehill/mountain, I do believe I shall indeed be a smashing success!
Thank you!
I feel stuck clearing some simple “stuff” out of my life. I declutter, then I have a pile to handle, but it just sits. I think on some level it’s hard for me to let go somehow. Maybe it connects to when I moved in my teen years and said goodbye to most of my life and stuff there. Not sure.
I feel stuck with tapping — not only do I NOT do it myself, but I’m in a certification program to be a practitioner, & I feel so self-conscious practicing (learning!) to do it with other people that I’m just not doing it.
I get distracted by all the e-mails every day, waisting my time and not getting started with decluttering and other important things. Resistance against focusing on the most important, afraid of missing something interresting. And resistance to throw things away. Afraid of missing something..
Berit, I’m with you. I think the cluttering is…. if i clean up the mess then I won’t have an excuse to doing what I have to do to be successful with business. Good luck to you.
I feel stuck marketing my business. I know what to do. I have l lots of ideas but I’m afraid of annoying people with posts and feeling stupid.
Crescentia, I love your name. I know Exactly what you mean.
I also feel anxious about being a leader when/if I do sign people up. Although I also realize I Have changed a lot and speak up in areas I didn’t in my past. Good luck
Getting to bed by 10 pm. I don’t know why I am stuck. This has been a goal for a long time and I don’t seem to make progress.
YEP… Me too. That’s when I come alive wanting to be on social media… knowing it isn’t good to be on the computer and then going to bed.
I take so many vitamins that stomach doesn’t like.
I tell myself that at 81 yrs. old I need these vitamins for different parts of the body such as liver, heart, etc.
Me too— 81 and take alot of vitamins wondering lately what I can discontinue taking. Can’t find any yet… :-) However, i AM VERY THANKFUL for my health.
I am stuck on a task on my to-do list and the story is that I am not safe to take care of myself.
Terri, thank you for your comment. I have a terrible time with my to do list. Good thought… not taking care of myself…
Doing regular exercises – in general & for injury.
Why not committed long term – (do short spurts) – my experience has proven to me that due to CFS – ‘my muscles don’t strengthen’ – so why bother?
Google Bendable Body on youtube. I don’t do them regularly; however, it does more than regular exercise.
Can search them too… later in the month they are doing a free class. It is exercising the fascia… Great stuff.
I’m stuck and not exercising to release weight. Stories of 3 bad experiences after when I exercised and was successful have come up.
One area where I feel stuck is implementing the plan I have developed. I suspect the resistance may be fear that it will succeed. I will no longer be small and quiet and in the background. Ye god’s!! What if someone notices my work?
Sue, I can relate… I’ve been on low income so long I can imagine being successful. MLM is a Great Way to make money. I have Three Companies… 2 with products and 1 a medical device. I have also added stress having three….. They are all good though!.
I really Don’t have a plan…. and I know…. Action brings the Motivation.
Making decisions about certain things.
I keep putting off decisions in certain areas.
What I ‘think’ is behind it is not really knowing what I want to do OR the fear of making a ‘wrong’ decision, or rather, regretting my decision 🤔
Hi LInda… I can relate… I just heard someone was praying and they heard…. Don’t come in fear…. come in faith……. I am working on the faith…. without it – it is fear. Know what I mean. :-)
I just did more tapping on one of the stories that comes up with resisting exercise and weight loss. I wrote the story, and then wrote another story rewriting how circumstances are different now and how it’s safe for me to change, and I’m allowed to change, and I make good choices…..felt really good. Tomorrow I’ll work on another story that’s holding me back.
I feel stuck in launching my program to help couples with ADHD. I guess the resistance is around imposter syndrome, maybe I don’t have enough knowledge or experience. It could also have something to do with a belief that people won’t want to spend the money I’m asking for the program.
I feel indecisive about traveling to places I’ve always wanted to see. Behind that is the belief that it is not safe to “leave home.”
My consistent challenge throughout life (and I’m 79 now) has always been money. I’ve had times when I’ve made lots of money but most of the time it’s been a struggle to just get by.
The underlying issue is that making significant amounts of money has always/often cost me more in personal sacrifice than it was worth. In one situation that lasted years it felt more like blood money than anything else and I vowed never to repeat that situation again!
A few years ago, after working on this with tapping and other spiritual things, I seemed to have cleaned the issue up and it was better for quite a while. Now, it seems to be rearing up again…slowing me down in goals I want to achieve while I’m still walking around on Planet Earth. It would be nice to get rid of it in THIS lifetime and not have to carry it forward into some future life!
Hallo,
I need to go grocery shopping. I can go NOW and it is done.
But instead, I am doing silly things, knowing that the shop is open till 7pm and I have the opportunity to do it later, but feeling bad not have done it yet.
The reason is I hate everyday grocery shopping
I want to study to become an EFT Practitioner but I feel stuck in that I won’t complete the study. I’m scared of what other people will think of me for doing it. That I will get laughed at & ridiculed for doing something a bit out of the norm.
I feel stuck accepting & handling my ADHD — only diagnosed at 60+ & it’s SO FRUSTRATING trying to manage when the very part of my brain that I need (executive function) is what doesn’t work right. And everyone’s helpful advice about “You just have to do XYZ” doesn’t seem to understand that — if I COULD “just” do XYZ, I WOULD, but my brain just completely quits working instead. And I have so much trouble giving myself grace….
Done and done! :)
I feel stuck letting go of clutter & possessions that relate to projects I want to do but struggle to make time for.
I think part of the story is that I’m bad for wasting money on buying the stuff in the first place, knowing I never make/have time for the things I want.
It feels connected to a double bind around following my true self/wants/needs versus staying safe & connected to my tribe.
Which hidden belief hides behind my hidden belief?
One area I feel stuck is speaking up for myself. Resistance is many things and many stories. Mostly fear. Fear of pissing someone off. Fear of being physically harmed for standing up for myself. Fear of rejection. If I want to ask for something I want or need, I fear being “bad” for having that want or need. I used to think my voice was shut down because of just one singular event, but now I’m sensing many different “stories” of why it’s safer to keep my mouth shut. Looking forward to delving into those …
One area I feel stuck is setting appropriate boundaries at work. I fear my bosses and colleagues annoyance and possibly being ostracized. I have plenty of stories about that held in my subconscious!
– Imagine the action you would like to take:
Publishing my childhood stories.
– Tune into the resistance and ask the resistance what is it afraid of?
People might say I don’t have the credentials to write my stories.
My family will say I am lying.
– Ask it what proof it has to be afraid?
My family said I lied about the childhood trauma.
My mother said, “No one would believe you. Your father was an upright man. You’ve read too many books.”
Many people (look at the Epstein victims) deny abuse when it happened or later when it is recounted.
where do I feel stuck?
usually trying to speak up and say what I think/feel. I have tried tapping but still stuck. Under resistance, not being heard. I say what I feel and get response. and that’s my fault, how?
I get stuck with a fear/anxiety not knowing what to replace it with. example i have to move then stress over every concern till i start to find a new place. i resist finding a new place till i have too thus causing more stress.
I also feel stuck in depression but have no idea what to do.
I can’t figure out what might be under the resistance and what specifically started it.
Of course, I can think of reasons for why the feeling of depression would come up, but I don’t know what the root of mine is so I don’t know how to try and heal it.
I have severe anxiety about being seen and heard and have isolated myself so much because I have been ridiculed
The resistance to taking action is rejection
That action could be a yoga class the gym even shooting film on my own as I don’t have a studio to work in anymore
Another huge issue to healing is an unworthy script that I will never be normal and I don’t deserve it
I wish you healing 🙏🏼
I feel stuck in my eating habits. For many years, I was caught in the internet rabbit holes of “don’t eat this one thing or it will kill you!” I collected so many things to not eat that I developed disordered eating.
Now, I have a much better grasp of what’s healthy in my conscious mind and don’t take the click-bait (though I still eat a particular way), but somewhere inside of me is a resistance which makes me loathe thinking about food and cooking for myself (90% of the time). I even prefer not to eat out with friends so I don’t have to make menu decisions that might compromise my health or to feel like I have to dismiss my preferences in order to be social.
Some part of me thinks I am going to die if I eat. Obviously this is illogical unless of course it was actual poison or toxic to my body.. Also, putting off eating feels like a similar mechanism/resistance to putting things off until it’s a dire need or it’s “too late” a la procrastination.
When cooking for myself, a part of me thinks I am creating something temporary, so why bother? Yes, cooking is a creative act. And, when it gets eaten with nobody to share it with, then I have nothing to show for it because nobody is there to witness my creation. Part of me wants to be acknowledged that I did a good job or that my food tastes great.
I feel stuck in not being able to change, follow-through or make any kind of dramatic shifts in my life – ever – it’s more incremental and smaller and am tired of that. A specific area – once and for all, clearing the clutter – paper, stuff my mother said I should keep, and such. What do I suspect is under the resistance? Some epigenetic stuff (#4 of the story) – from poor relatives going back generations – should save everything. Fear of being wrong in my decision to get rid of something. A feeling of overwhelm – God, where do i start and fear that it won’t make any difference.
Day 1:
-What’s one area where you feel stuck, even though you know what to do? I need to make videos for my business.
-What do you suspect might be under that resistance? Videos feel permanent and I’ll be held accountable and judged for them forever. The thought is: they won’t be perfect and I know I’ll get better at it down the road… but then people will judge me at a lower level of ability or talent or skill than I actually am. I’ll want to redo everything later (Redoing technical things is a common way that I procrastinate actually.)
Even though I know what to do, even though I have a lot of really good strategies and steps, even though I have a lot of great ideas and banging skills, I feel stuck starting a business that supports all my needs and desires. I’ve been really good in the past at just trusting, not questioning, just doing and accomplishing lots in a short time. Now though…..
My financial state is one of my roadblocks – just sorting out enough to do the basics – annual or monthly fees for website, calendar, video meetings (some are free, yes, I know), insurance, etc….even one at a time is difficult.
So, what’s underneath that? Deserving?
What else is lurking about under my resistance to just do something, take a step, carry out a plan…am I enough, am I a fraud, is it safe to be seen, can I do it right….is it trusting myself? I’m old and exhausted! And I want to start a new something??? I yi yi…….now there’s some stuff to start with. ;0)
Day 1:
*What’s one area where you feel stuck, even though you know what to do? Looking for a job.
*What do you suspect might be under that resistance? Fear that I’m not capable, don’t have the right skills/education and that I’m too old.
This morning my developmentally disabled 48 year-old son gave me resistance while I was shaving him and I exploded in anger. These explosions, which used to be rare, have increased recently to the point where I am afraid I might hurt him.
It scares me to feel that angry. When I was a child, if other kids bullied me I would explode into anger in an almost unconscious state, and hurt them without realizing it. I think the underlying activation for that is intense fear. As a 3 year-old I found that anger nudged that fear out of awareness, and I didn’t feel pain as sharply when I was fighting. This tells me I need to learn to resolve my fear. Is there a tapping script for that?
Homework day 1:
One area that I feel stuck in is following through on building a business. I don’t feel supported. I also doubt my own ability to follow through and stick with it.
The area where I feel kind of stuck is work.
I have taken care of my parents for 10 years until my father passed away in 2017 and my mum a year ago in December 2024.
I was numb most of last year, lost in deep grief and pain and didn’t even want to think about work.
I have a small real estate agency which hadn’t been very successful when I started in 2010, I lost a lot of money and became very fearful, thinking that I wasn’t made for that area! I left the business in 2012 to take care of my father, ill with a Lymphoma until he died and them took care of my mum…
Well, now I wonder if things could be different and would like to use EFT to give myself a new opportunity to be successful and love working with my real estate agency.
What do I suspect might be under the Resistance: FEAR!
I feel stuck with my weight and finances. I have had many stressful years, and tapping has helped me to feel more optimistic, but it hasn’t completely solved my problems.
One area: Being consistent in marketing my business
What’s underneath? Fear of being judged; being visible; fear of success (& the accompanying responsibilities being too overwhelming)
I struggle with communicating my true feelings which is harming my family relationships and impacting my ability to grow my business. I think it comes from a childhood strategy to be loved and accepted by both my divorced parents.
I have many things i feel stuck and knowing what to do: 1. start making arts( even just start drawing a line was a challenge for me) 2. same with me start to play an instrument 3. feel bad to have my dream life/desires
what’s my suspect might be under that resistance?
1. and 2. are both link to my childhood family and fear of failure , and 3. is that ill make other feel bad but even doesn’t make sense , even 1. and 2. i feel this way too
Three main areas I feel stuck (they impact each other and there are repeated themes):
1) I avoid going to bed. I know better and yet I continue to do this despite already living with CFS, burnout, compassion fatigue and a weak immune system… This impacts ALL areas of my life, and because of the exhaustion, I feel like I’m behind in all areas of my life.
2) I keep putting off regularly working on my book even though it’s a project that means so much to me and I am still being gifted with ideas.
3) My apartment is in serious need of decluttering and because I get dizzy and overwhelmed, I am not keeping up.
What do I suspect might be under the resistance?
1) I feel selfish when I take time for me, so I put everyone and everything else ahead of my needs. A huge part of this is due to my upbringing, past experiences and the belief I should never have been born and that I ruined my mother’s life.
2) Same as above. I also question whether I have what it takes. Do I have the talent, the energy? Is it too late and will anyone publish me if I ever finish writing my book?
3) Despite hating the clutter, finding it distracting and the way it impacts my nervous system is frustrating, I feel frozen. It’s overwhelming and feels impossible. So much fear, including being afraid I’ll later regret letting go of something. I know that it feels wonderful when I release things and with baby steps and if I’m gentle with myself, I could make things happen, but the fear is winning… same with the dizzy spells.
I feel resistance when my boyfriend wants to go alone to an event, that we both like, but I have other plans for the evening.
I think the reason is a fear of missing out or even the fear of losing him.
I would like to allow myself to write more, tapping scripts and personal journaling, seem to become either impatient or lack the focus needed
I’m feeling stuck in my resistance to being persistent in learning and practicing new artistic skills. I realized today during the session that I was groomed to be an academic, an intellectual working with words and facts—and a creative life was never seen as an option. My husband, an accomplished artist, had a pencil put in his hand at age 3 by an artist father with the expectation that he too would become an artist. So perhaps one contributing factor wasn’t that I was openly discouraged from a creative life but that a different path was clearly marked and expected.
Currently 2 major stuck areas:
Decluttering and rearranging my office so it actually fits what I need now with this whole “career change, but for real this time” thing.
Shifting my mindset(s) from ‘burden/too much/not enough’ to ‘lovable addition for the right folks’ .
The area I feel stuck in currently, that is giving me the most grief, is deciding on my niche in developing a clearer business offering with my own EFT Practice. I got myself a business coach to help develop my plan and message but I’m still waffling back and forth between niche ideas. What’s under this resistance? Well, possibly because I have this idea that choosing one niche will pigeon hole me and it will be the wrong decision. I also have resistance against choosing one niche because I want a broad client base and I don’t want to turn anyone away who is not ‘in my niche’. But also, I’m an indecisve person. I have a Gemini rising and a Gemini moon, which basically means I create excuses for my indecision based on astrology! LoL But I can always see many advantages and it ends up limiting me in the end. Doh!
I feel stuck with implementing some of my creative ideas. I manifested severance and retirement, convinced I would do so much, but I’m not using the time to move forward in the way that I expected. I am procrastinating all the time, with so much resistance.
What might be under the resistance? Fear, I’ve built my podcast, and I don’t feel that they’ve come. A very, very rebellious part of me is tired of working so hard and is enjoying the spaciousness of retirement. But another part is bored and feels that I’m called to bigger things. So I call it confusion. I call it a choice to do what I want to do. But I feel called to a bigger life. I don’t know how to get clients. I don’t know if I’m enough. I know it’s never too late to be who I might have been, but I feel that time is running out. I feel disappointed in myself that I haven’t done more and am playing so small. So, in summary…. fear of failure, recovering perfectionism, tired of working so hard.
I am stuck in worry about money, even though we have significant financial assets.
Maybe I’m afraid to enjoy myself and to give to myself?
I am stuck with chronic back pain and leaky gut.
I am doing what I can to address these issues. I don’t believe that I can be healthy in the way I’d like to be. not sure what’s underlying this.
I would like to stop overeating. I think I feel stuck because I may be telling myself I would not be safe and that I would probably fail so why try.
What’s one area where you feel stuck, even though you know what to do?
• Typing up my session notes and continuing on to book more practicum sessions, type up those sessions, etc.
(Though this is part of a larger issue of daily not doing the “for me” things I intellectually want to do, a seeming “inability” to create my own personal structure, and a strong resistance to perceived routine.)
What do you suspect might be under that resistance?
• Specifically, I’m not sure, though I know I have soooo many underlying learned beliefs. Nothing unsafe about them, no reason not to do them. At times they feel overwhelming, but I am well versed in reports and session notes, so there’s certainly no logic to it.
(Some of the bigger picture resistances I’ve surfaced thus far – Don’t want to be selfish. Mostly experience my value lies in how helpful I am to others, how I can help them/be available to them, etc. Many times when I did things the way someone else told me to instead of the way I wanted to, it turned out to be wrong and I caught the flack for it…and the repercussions.)
Bonjour- I was a high school dropout. I was thought that ancestors, including antique furniture, as well as posterity were more important than a childs needs. At 27 I completed high school in Montreal after an episode of sleeping in the streets of Vancouver where I roamed for over a year. At 36 enrolled into college for the first time. Graduated at 39 in the jewellery craftmanship programm. Got a job that I kept 24 years. Invested in financial security, choosing to own a home rather than a car. At 65 the urge to write my childhood story, mostly spent in solitude and exclusion, partly due to polio, family dynamics and being an immigrant from France to Canada, resurfaced. I joined an online group in the US and learned the ropes of the writing trade. Published an essay a year later. I presently have my french version and the English one of the books I would love to complete and share to contribute to others and feel accomplished. After tapping for a year and every day for about three months. I am stuck in believing that all this effort spent writing since the last four years is not meant for me to enjoy in my lifetime. Another goal is also to join a class in design I’ ve been preparing for, every day, of 2025. Class that leads to an online crative job. Stuck in a time warp and fear of success because it will not please others around me in my life that I am bigger than perceived or told. Merci!
I need to move from present living situation. Family members no longer want me here. But I feel stuck financially and emotionally. I can’t seem to even look at my finances or even let go of clutter.
What’s one area where you feel stuck, even though you know what to do? What do you suspect might be under that resistance?
There are many things, but I’ll choose one to work with for this. Clutter –
I feel stuck with cleaning up clutter in my living space.
My conscious mind really wants to do it, but somehow I always run out of time of energy to do it. It feels like it should be simple, but for some reason it isn’t.
I don’t know what is under that resistance. Looking forward to hopefully discovering that this week sso I can begin to hear it and shift it.
I feel stuck in that I can’t motivate myself to do the things I know are most important, even if I WANT to do them. The planning stage works fine, but getting started a lot of times just doesn’t happen. It isn’t just fear of success – it’s that it isn’t safe to prove the people wrong about me who told me I’d never succeed.
I feel stuck when trying to motivate myself to do daily tapping even though I have a fair amount of knowledge about tapping and access to videos, recordings and books to tap along with.
I suspect some of my resistance arose after several negative past experiences while taking in-person tapping workshops and working one-on-one with practitioners. One time in a workshop I was literally told to “sit there and suffer”. Several times I was more or less told that other people have problems that are more interesting or more serious and thus more worthy of attention than my problems. So I suspect my unconscious mind is thinking “why should I bother to tap”.
I feel stuck when it comes to time management. Getting things done on time, arriving to appointments on time. It’s really hard to find time tapping on this issue as I usually feel like I’m behind with things and I need to get a lot of things done before the day ends.
I have issues with money. I have enough to get by but can’t reach the abundant heights I did once. If I knew the subconscious belief—I wouldn’t be here trying to work out what it is. I wouldn’t have fixed it by now and moved on. Not deserving. Not good enough. But I can’t find the ground zero point for it.
I’m stuck on getting started. I know what to do. I just don’t do it.
I seem to make sure I’m always suffering. So I don’t have anything – a home, a car, family, friends, money (so no safety or stability) It also means I can’t ever get out of this cycle so I could pursue a passion which could lead to making money for safety and stability. Its complete stuckness.
Its like something always has to be wrong or maybe I can’t be selfish. Or I dont deserve money. Or I can’t do things alone.
What’s one area where you feel stuck, even though you know what to do?
Consistently implementing certain health behaviors.
What do you suspect might be under that resistance?
Fear of missing out / feeling deprived. Lack of self-belief in doing hard things. Not feeling worthy of making these changes.
Identified area.
I can’t seem to shake cringing when people seem displeased with something I’ve said or done, especially when it comes out of the blue. I believe it comes from something in childhood (or past life) but I don’t have any concrete memories about it.
What’s one area where you feel stuck, even though you know what to do?
I feel stuck when it comes to choosing a meaningful career that truly aligns with my values. I usually know what I need to do and I’m good at making plans, but I struggle with taking action. Once I start thinking about the long-term consequences, I get overwhelmed and begin overthinking. That often leads to procrastination or doing nothing at all, even though I want to move forward.
What do you think is underneath that resistance?
I think underneath the resistance is fear, fear of making the wrong choice, looking stupid, or investing a lot into something and then realising it wasn’t right. Because it feels so personal, not moving forward feels safer than risking disappointment or being seen
Yes this!
What is one area I feel I am stuck?
I am stuck with trust. I find it difficult to let go and trust fully for fear of being taken advantage of, missing something that I should have seen coming, should have known or recognized. This feels like a tightness in my throat and chest and feel it almost always, but usually in certain instances with certain people.
What is the source of this resistance?
I believe this is from my childhood. ( Aren’t most things? )
I would like to be able to let the past not influence my experience of today. I would like to be able to recognize that my tribe is largely safe for me, and just feel free to relax enough to be myself.
I feel stuck in being visible with my EFT coaching business and attract clients.
Especially in making offers.
What’s behind that?
I guess a fear of not being good enough to get them results.
I love giving out things for free, but not being able to sell, asking money for my support.
What’s one are where you feel stuck even though you know what to do?I’ve crafted an answer to this question at least five times since yesterday’s session- some oblique, some less so, and then I delete and begin again. I don’t care what anybody thinks, I care what everybody thinks. I’m afraid that if people like the first thing, they won’t like the second thing. So I get stuck in the middle of finishing the first thing. And then it’s time for lunch.
I’ve been on invalidity leave for years now. I would like so much to get back to work two half days a week. At the same time i don’t even get things done being at home.
Underlying believe: it will all be too much, i will lose myself and crash again.
Day 3 Tapping script left me feeling similarly to when I do inner child/adaptive child work. I like that my present day adult self can welcome, love and accept these survival patterns/parts. That appreciating their creativity, adaptability, resilience helps me embrace these qualities into my wholeness. I like to think my wholeness can lead me toward a more delicious life!
Gene’s words about allowing oneself to feel conflicting emotions, think contrasting thoughts, and observe contrary perspectives reminds me of something I’ve learned as “both/and”. Learning to soften into the spaciousness that allows for all experiences to have some truth has been a valuable skill to practice. Thank you for expressing the concept in a lovely, new way, Gene!
I feel stuck decluttering my house and making it livable. I think I know what I can do to reach this goal but my husband isn’t on board – I don’t know if he doesn’t mind living this way or what. It’s causing me a lot of anxiety and depression, adding to those 2 challenges I have with a neat and clean house! One further challenge I have is my mobility.
