Eleven years ago this week Tapping Q & A was born! (I wrote the first article July 29th, 2007 and shared it with the world August 1st.)

It is hard to believe that something that started as a hobby in my free time has turned into a website that has had millions of page views and a podcast that’s been downloaded over a million times by people in over 160 countries!

It means sooooooo much to me that you take the time to read, listen, comment, give feedback, and share the Tapping Q & A resources with your loved ones.

As a thank you, I am offering these two special special deals:

1) One-on-one sessions with me: Normally I charge $225 per 1-hour session, but this week you can get then for $110. (Maximum of 5 sessions per person, must be used by December 31st, 2018.)

Get time with me: Sessions w/ Gene

2) 10 Questions System: This is my favorite tool for figuring out the steps and the emotional blocks that are standing in the way of you taking action. Normally it costs $197. This week you can save $110 and only pay $87.

Get out of your own way: 10 Question System

Thanks again for your part in the amazing experience this has been for me. I had no idea how this would turn out when I started and it’s so far beyond my wildest dreams that I can't even process it!

As always, please let me know how I can be helpful to you in your tapping journey.

Blessings,

Gene

Good morning,

In case you haven’t already heard the good news, Google has just made it a whole lot easier to listen to podcasts on your Android phone!

Up until last week you had to install an extra app to access podcasts, which wasn't the most convenient.

Now it is a super simple two-step process:

1. Click the correct link.
2. Click subscribe.

If you happen to be on your Android smartphone you can subscribe to the podcast right here. Just click subscribe and you are set!

If you aren't reading this on your phone right now, the next time you are all you need to do is go to this link: https://tappingqanda.com/abdriod-subscribe

OR download the app!
Did you know that there is a free Tapping Q and A app for both Apple and Android devices? Not only does it provide access to the entire podcast archive, it also includes loads of tapping scripts.

Access the free app here: Android | Apple

Please let me know if you have any technical issues with this,

Gene

At the end of month I will be in the UK on vacation and I would love to see you!

The last two times I have been in London I arranged informal meetups. We talked about tapping, the healing process, and life in general. I had a great time getting to know my readers and those who showed up made new tapping friends.

On Monday July 31st I am going to be at Mulberry Bush (89 Upper Ground, Southbank, SE1 9PP, very close to the National Theatre ) from 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm.

If you are in the city please do come along to hang out and have drink. You can stop by anytime and can stay for as long or short as you would like.

Send me a note if you are thinking of coming so I can send you updated information if anything changes.

I am also going to be in north Wales July 28th, 29th, and 30th. I’m not currently planning a meetup there but if you are in that part of the world, reply to this email and we might arrange a little gathering.

Let me know if you have any questions and I hope to see you soon!

Gene

I am always trying to improve the quality of the podcast and I would love your input to help me do that. Simply fill out the short 3-question survey below. Feel free to add as many answers as you would like for each question.

To thank you I would like you to have a copy of the 4-part audio series NLP for EFT. If you would like to receive this gift, add your email address at the bottom of the form.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Good morning,

I was having dinner with a friend last week and we were talking about the wonders of technology. Right now, I have a smart phone in my pocket, which is more than 1000 times more powerful than the computer I used when I was a professional computer programmer less than 20 years ago.

With this amazing computing power always at our fingertips, we are able to track our lives in very powerful ways.

Personally, I am able to see how much daily exercise I get via my health tracker. Professionally, I am able see which podcasts you download and the articles you read the most so that I can keep producing the content that you need.

Last year about this time, Foursquare published some interesting data. For those who don't know, Foursquare is an app that allows users to check in at different places, so you can let your friends know what you are up to.

With users all over the world, Foursquare are able to see trends in people's behavior by looking at all of their data.

The information they shared was about three particular dates.

1. There is a decrease in the number of visits to fast food restaurants on the first Sunday of the new year. (In 2016 it was January 3rd)
2. Depending on when New Year's Day falls, there is an increase in the number of visits to the gym on the first or second Monday of the new year. (In 2016 it was January 11th)
3. The second Friday of February has the highest number of fast food visits of any day in the first three months of the year. (In 2016 it was February 12th)

Being clever, Foursquare declared the second Friday of February to be the Fatty Solstice.

There is a reason this happens!
When I read this story I wasn't surprised. There have been a number of studies on New Year's resolutions and how they simply don't work.

A New Year's resolution is nothing more than an exercise in willpower that happens at a particular time of year.

If you could make changes in your life using willpower alone, you wouldn't need a New Year's resolution.

Early April Shame
The truth is that you didn't need a data study to tell you that New Year's resolutions don't work. You already know this because you have tried and failed at resolutions in the past.

Even though data analysis can predict when resolutions will fail, we don't notice it in our own lives.

There might be a nagging feeling in the back of your head. Or from time to time you might remember that you want to be making better choices.

The next thing you know it is April. You remember your resolution and you remember you haven't given it a second thought in almost two months.

You are disappointed that your life isn't better.

You are frustrated at your lack of action.

You are ashamed because you promised yourself you would do better and you failed…again!

For me, the worst emotion is shame at having failed. I hate it!

This sense of shame is SOOOOOOO BIG that many people stop trying to improve their lives because they hate the feeling of trying and failing so much.

Make this year different!
It doesn't have to be this way. Change is possible and it doesn't have to be a fruitless exercise in willpower.

To start off 2017 I have created a program that will help you to be successful in the short term AND will teach you how to make change happen in a simple, step-by-step way in the long term.

This process includes five steps.

Step 1: I am going to teach you the 5 tapping techniques I use most, both with my clients and when I am tapping for my own issues, AND the best time to use each of these techniques. Simply knowing we need to tap isn't enough, for me there is a particular way to tap in each situation.

Step 2: We will gain clarity about what it is you want and why you want it. We will not take action if we don't have a clear vision because we don't want to waste time or energy. If we are worried that creating a plan is just one more opportunity to let ourselves down, then we will never get around to planning.

Step 3: Making change in our lives often means we have to take new actions and learn new skills. I don't know about you, but I hate feeling stupid and incompetent. In this step we will clear all the worries and fears that come with not feeling like we can take the necessary steps to bring about change.

Step 4: Even if we have a clear plan, we won't take action if we are worried that taking action will have negative consequences. For example, we may worry that others will judge us because they think our goal is silly, or we could be worried that even though we know what to do, we might not succeed and we want to avoid feeling like a failure. In this step we will uncover and tap for all the negative thoughts and emotions that prevent us from taking action.

Step 5: In the last step we will take on the most surprising reason that we fail at making progress. Did you know that we often fear being successful at our goals? We can worry that we will be successful, but then backslide and worry that we will have to work even harder to maintain the success than we do to achieve it in the first place. Similarly we worry that if we are successful at this goal, others will expect us to be successful at everything. In this step we will knock out the fears around being successful.

The program will be delivered in the format of weekly teleclasses (which you can access via the phone or online). In each class I will work you through the steps, answer all of your questions about the process, and then we will tap. At the end of each class participants will have a chance to raise their hand about their personal blocks. I will then tap one-on-one with those participants.

The calls will be held on Tuesdays at 8pm Eastern time, January 17th – February 14th.

All calls will be recorded so if you can't make it, you will still have access to all of the content AND you can go back to tap along again and again.

For my friends in Europe (and everyone else)
I know 8pm Eastern time isn't convenient for those of you who live in Europe (or for some people in the US). So that you aren't missing out on the chance to get your questions answered and your chance to tap with me one-on-one, I will be holding two additional calls on Sunday January 29th and February 19th at 2pm Eastern.

You will have a chance to listen through the previous classes before the calls and get all of your questions answered.

Even if you were on the Tuesday evening call, you can still show up on these calls for some extra help.

Then there are the bonuses
If that was all there was to the program, it would be enough to set you up for success. But to ensure 2017 is the best year ever, I am adding these three bonuses:

• Bonus Call – On February 21st at 8pm Eastern I am going to hold a "Tapping Jam". I will stay on call until everyone who has an issue that has come up over the program has a chance to tap with me one-on-one.
• The 10-Question System – This is a great tool for planning, taking action, and uncovering emotional resistance to taking action. (I sell this for $197)
• Tapping Script Book – I will have all of the tapping we do in class transcribed so that you can go back to tap along without having to search through the audios.

A Bargain At Twice The Price
You will receive the classes, the recordings of the classes, and all the bonuses for only $300.

If I told you that you weren't going to fail at your resolutions this year, would that be worth $300? For this promise I would pay a lot more than $300!

Add One-On-One Help!
Sometimes our issues are just too big for us face alone or we are too close to them to see them clearly. To help with this I am offering the opportunity to add on three one-on-one phone sessions with me.

Even though I am a tapping professional, I still regularly work with someone to help me get through my issues faster.

For only $500 more you can add three one-on-one sessions. Normally I would charge $675 for those sessions, so it is 25% off the session.

Money Back Guarantee
I want you to have the chance to see if this is right for you. If after the first class you decide this isn't for you, just let me know and I will send you a full refund. No questions asked!

Avoid the shame. Avoid the failure. Get it right this year!
Don’t make 2017 another year of missed opportunities. Start off the year on the right foot. Have the success, progress, and transformation you are longing for.

Yes! I am going to make 2017 my best year ever by joining the class: https://tappingqanda.com/?p=12151

Yes! I am going to make sure I progress even faster by joining the program and working with Gene one-on-one: https://tappingqanda.com/?p=12150

What Are Your Questions?
I know this is a lot of information to take in at once. If you have any questions, just reply to this email and I will respond to you directly.

Do it now! What are you waiting for? Avoid the April shame.
