Pod #501: Tapping to Celebrate Victories Big and Small

March 3, 2021 by Gene Monterastelli

Twelve years ago today the very first episode of the Tapping Q and A Podcast was published, which means a little celebration is in order.

Sometimes we hold ourselves back from celebrating. Perhaps because we are worried the achievement isn't big enough to shout about, or others may think we are being immodest, or if we celebrate something small, then we will lower our standards.

I have found the exact opposite to be true. The more we celebrate our victories, no matter how small, the more we create a sense of momentum, which motivates us to take more action, and we are more appreciative of what we have.

This week we tap for celebrating our victories big and small.

I think it is something we should all do daily. Here is a simple tap-along and tapping script to help you do exactly that.

ALSO, please add some of your small victories down in the comment below so that we can all celebrate with you.

Pod #500: Tapping for Jealousy and Professional Jealousy

February 24, 2021 by Gene Monterastelli

For me, jealousy is one the most corrosive emotions. Jealousy floods the mind with all sorts of negative thoughts, leading us to think poorly about ourselves, about the object of our jealousy, and amplifies our feelings about the unfairness of the world.

That cascade of negative thoughts also leads us to feeling unmotivated because part of us feels like it is a total waste of time.

In this week's podcast I share my experience with professional jealousy, how I get past it, and then I share a simple tap-along that you can do for any type of jealousy.

Pod #499: Tapping For Emotional Resilience

February 17, 2021 by Gene Monterastelli

In my mind there are three main reasons why we tap.

The first is for emotional first aid. This is the tapping we do in the moment to help us when our emotions feel overwhelming.

The second is for clearing hurtful memories and limiting beliefs. I group these together because they are often intertwined, with painful memories being a common root cause of limiting beliefs. By tapping to clearing these we can create space to make better choices day to day.

The third is for building emotional resilience so that we are better able to cope and adapt when life doesn't go as planned. Being emotionally resilient doesn't mean our lives will be perfect, but instead means we are able to handle adversity or set backs so much better.

This third reason for tapping is often overlooked because it is not about responding to something that is happening, but instead about developing a new way of responding to events and circumstances.

In this week's podcast learn about the importance of emotional resilience and how to use tapping to cultivate it in yourself.

Pod #498: Tapping To Release Past Failures

February 11, 2021 by Gene Monterastelli

All of us have experienced failures in our past. It is an unavoidable part of being human.

We fail because we didn't finish what we started, we didn't put in the effort we should have, or we didn't get the results we wanted.

Failure can be instructive, but if we continue to relive our failures emotionally, then they are longer lessons but instead become unhelpful emotional anchors.

This week we tap to release and let go of any past failures holding us back emotionally.

Pod #497: Feeling Worthy of Healing and Transformation

February 3, 2021 by Gene Monterastelli

Recently I conducted a survey of my readers and listeners asking them what their biggest struggle with tapping is. There were five really common responses:

Not knowing where to start
Having way too many issues to tap for
Not knowing what to say when tapping for a particular issue
Tapping consistently
Finding that tapping for one issue turns into an avalanche of emotions that feel too daunting to manage

These responses were no surprise because I hear the same concerns from my clients all the time.

But there was a sixth response that was not only surprising, but also a little heartbreaking. It was: “I am not worthy of healing and transformation.”

There are lots of reasons why someone might feel this way. We have squandered opportunities to heal in the past, we have made too many mistakes, it is too late and we should have started sooner, or simply it is something that is for others, but not for me.

To my great surprise, as I was recording this podcast I found my way to some of my own feelings of unworthiness. I didn't think it was something I was struggling with.

Even if you don't think this is an issue you struggle with, I encourage you to tap along as I have a feeling it is a hidden resistance for you as well.
