Pod #324: EFT For Doing The Right Task First (Productivity Series: 5 of 7)

August 15, 2018 by Gene Monterastelli

This is Part 5 of the 7-part Productivity Series. Each week we are going to tap for an emotional block to taking action. Check out the full series.

Even when we know the right action to take, it can be difficult to do because we are so good at sabotaging ourselves. The Take Action Now program was created to eliminate self-sabotaging behavior so you can take decisive action towards achieving your goals. Full details here.

There is a part of us that wants to everything in exactly the right order, and that's because there are times in which the order we do tasks really matters, such as when baking a cake.

But for most tasks or projects, there isn't an exact right order. There may be an overarching plan that needs to be followed, but it doesn't have to be done in exact steps.

This concern about the right order of tasks can be a stumbling block to taking action because on some level we are worried about wasting energy and having to redo actions because we did them in the wrong order.

This tap-along audio (with printable tapping script) will help you to trust the order in which you think you need to act, as well as helping you to get comfortable with the idea that taking actions one at a time will add up to success and that success isn't dependent on any one thing.

There is a part of me that is worried I'm going to do this in the wrong order…If I do this in the wrong order I'll have to do it again…Because I'm worried about doing things in the wrong order…I'm not taking action at all…This is a way for me to say safe…This is a way for me to be healthy…Because I'm not wasting time and energy…And I also know that if I don't take any action at all…I am certain to fail…Action is required for my success…I give myself permission to trust that I will do the tasks in approximately the right order…It doesn't have to be perfect…It doesn't have to be exactly right…It just needs to be close to right…Because most of the tasks do not have an exact right order…Most of the tasks do not require me to be perfect…I trust that I'm going to do this in a way that is useful…I also recognize the fact that the tasks that I need to do are important…But my success does not rely on any one task…Success comes when all these tasks add up…Doing a little work at a time…Adding up to something big…And because success will come from is the sum total of these tasks…Doing them is enough…Trusting that I am close enough to doing them in the right order will move me towards success…I know these efforts will add up…I know these steps will add up…Putting me in a position to be successful…I trust the order I am going to do these tasks…I trust the effort will add up into something good…I know that as I continue to take action my way will become clearer and clear…Taking action now is more important than trying to figure out the perfect action…I choose to trust myself.

Pod #323: EFT For Following Your Vision (Productivity Series: 4 of 7)

August 8, 2018 by Gene Monterastelli

This is Part 4 of the 7-part Productivity Series. Each week we are going to tap for an emotional block to taking action. Check out the full series.

Even when we know the right action to take, it can be difficult to do because we are so good at sabotaging ourselves. The Take Action Now program was created to eliminate self-sabotaging behavior so you can take decisive action towards achieving your goals. Full details here.

There are times when we have a clear vision of what we wish to do, but we are held back by our emotions. This part of us may be worried that our vision isn't right for us, that others don't believe in our vision, or we are mistrustful of our own inner guidance.

This tap-along audio (with a printable tapping script below) will help you to trust in your inner guidance, trust your vision, and help you to take action even when those around you just don't get it.

I give myself permission to trust myself…I give myself permission to trust my vision…There's a part of me that's so excited about my vision and moving forward…And there is a part of me that is also scared to death…It's worried that putting my hope in something like this might only lead to heartbreak…Might only lead to disappointment…I give myself permission to trust my vision…Even though that vision might not be perfect…I give myself permission to know I am heading in the right direction…And by trusting this vision…I will move forward…I will be successful…I am can remain safe…I can trust my vision…Even though I know everything will not going to be perfect…I can trust my vision even though I'm worried everything won't go exactly as planned…I know that others in my life don't share my vision…Some even doubt my vision…And that can make it hard for me to take action and to trust myself…When I am going against the opinions of others…I can question myself…There have been times in my life where my vision did not match up with that of others…And that was OK…I was still successful…And it was the right path for me…I ended up where I needed to be…It would be great if others shared my vision…But that is not necessary for me to be successful…They don't have to endorse my vision for me to be safe…I give myself permission to trust my inner guidance…Even when it conflicts with other people's opinions…Even when it conflicts with the ideas of those around me…This isn't their life…This is my life…And I allow myself to trust my inner guidance…Even in the face of others doubting me.

11 years ago this week (special deal)

August 3, 2018 by Gene Monterastelli

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

Pod #322: EFT When Having To Learn Something New (Productivity Series: 3 of 7)

August 1, 2018 by Gene Monterastelli

This is Part 3 of the 7-part Productivity Series. Each week we are going to tap for an emotional block to taking action. Check out the full series.

Even when we know the right action to take, it can be difficult to do because we are so good at sabotaging ourselves. The Take Action Now program was created to eliminate  self-sabotaging behavior so you can take decisive action towards achieving your goals. Full details here.

When we are faced with doing something that we don't know how to do or that we don't have a great of experience with it is common that we won't take the action we what.

This is because there is a part of us that want to protect us from failure AND when we don't know how to do something failure is much more likely.

This tap-along audio (and script below) will help you to take action when you are feeling dumb, struggling because you don't know where to start, and that others will judge you because you don't know what action to take.

Tapping to this will make it easier for you to trust yourself when you don't feel comfortable or competent with the tasks in front of you.

Pod #321: EFT For Staying Focused (Productivity Series: 2 of 7)

July 25, 2018 by Gene Monterastelli

This is Part 2 of the 7-part Productivity Series. Each week we are going to tap for an emotional block to taking action. Check out the full series.

Even when we know the right action to take, it can be difficult to do because we are so good at sabotaging ourselves. The Take Action Now program was created to eliminate self-sabotaging behavior so you can take decisive action towards achieving your goals. Full details here.

Allowing distractions, such as email or social media notifications, is one of the easiest ways to be unproductive. Distractions also come in the form of unruly thoughts rattling around in our heads. This tap-along audio (with a full printable script below the audio player) will help to calm your mind before you begin working, helping you to stay focused.
