Pod #327: EFT for Believing In Yourself

September 5, 2018 by Gene Monterastelli

It can be difficult to remain focused on doing the work to improve your life. Sometimes you are pushing forward without seeing any progress. Sometimes the goal seem so far away that it is impossible. AND sometimes we just feel alone on the journey.

When we are trying to improve our lives it’s common to feel that the people around us are unwilling to do the same, and may even be resistant to the  fact that we are changing and growing our own. This can make the work of transformation to feel lonely.

This week I have words of encouragement to keep you going, even when you feel alone. Because the truth is you are not alone. It might feel like it, but there are many thousands of people who are on healing journeys, just like you.

This week we tap to know that we aren’t alone AND that the work we are doing in our own lives makes it easier for others, and the work others are doing is clearing a path for us.

(Below the audio player you will also find a text version of the tapping script.)

Sometimes I feel like I’m alone…The people around me don’t understand the work that I’m doing…They do not understand the healing tools that I’m using…To transform and heal myself…Some of them are not interested in change at all…When I am surrounded by people who do not care…It’s easy to lose my motivation…Because I feel like I’m alone…I feel like no one understands me…I feel like I’m the only one who cares…But even if I’m in a situation where the people closest to me don’t care…I know that I am not alone…There are people all over the world working to heal and transform themselves…There are people all over the world trying to make the world a better place for themselves and for others…Thousands of others are tapping along to these exact same words…Thousands of people are looking for a similar type of transformation…Even if I don’t know them personally…We are on this journey together…The effort that they are putting in to make the world a better place is also impacting my world…My tapping and energy is impacting their lives as well…Even when I feel alone…I know that I’m not alone on this journey…I give myself permission to keep putting forth the effort…And I choose to keep trying…Knowing that there are others who want me to be successful…Even if I don’t know them personally…Each small amount of effort that I put in contributes to the greater good…I trust that my efforts are useful…And I know that I’m not alone in this work of transformation and healing.

Pod #326: EFT For When Others Judge Our Success (Productivity Series: 7 of 7)

August 29, 2018 by Gene Monterastelli

This is Part 7 of the 7-part Productivity Series. Each week we have been tapping for a specific 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.

Being successful is hard enough. It becomes even harder when we are worried about others judging our success.

Others may judge our dreams as being foolish. They may be jealous when they see us chasing our dreams and being successful. They may even feel that we are judging them because they aren’t experiencing the same success as we are enjoying.

Worrying about these types of judgments makes us less likely to take action because being judged isn’t any fun.

In this week’s tap-along (with a printable tapping script below audio player) we tap for taking action in spite of what others might think of our success.

Other people notice the action I am taking…Other people notice the success that I’m having…Because they notice what I am doing…They are judging and evaluating my progress…They are judging and evaluating my success…I don’t like being judged…There’s a part of me that just wants to belong and be like everyone else…There’s a part of me that’s uncomfortable and afraid of their judgment…And of the rational and irrational consequences of that judgment…Sometimes people judge me because they think my dreams and goals are foolish…Sometimes people judge me because they’re jealous of my success…Sometimes people judge me simply because I’m willing to follow my dreams…And sometimes people judge me because they think I am judging them…They are worried that my success makes me feel like I am better than they are…But none of these judgments is about me…They are not about my success…Even though that is how it feels…In reality these judgments are about the people who are judging me…They don’t feel good about where they are…They don’t appreciate the progress they are making in their own lives…Because I’m doing something they are not…They feel like my progress is about them…Because it might be pointing out the things they have not yet achieved yet…When I experience and feel this judgment…It makes me reluctant to take action…Because I don’t want to be judged in this way…I give myself permission to be comfortable with my success…Knowing that it doesn’t matter what others may think and feel about my success…Because my success is not me…My success is about my action…My success is about how I move forward…They’re allowed to think whatever they want…And if they want to waste time thinking about me…They’re allowed to do exactly that…But I choose to focus on my action…I choose to focus on how I’m going to move towards my goals…I’m going to let go of my concerns…Because this is about me…And my progress…And I need to put myself first.

Pod #325: EFT For Recognizing Your Success (Productivity Series: 6 of 7)

August 22, 2018 by Gene Monterastelli

This is Part 6 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.

One of the difficulties with being successful is that success is not an all-or-nothing proposition. Success usually comes in stages as part of a process. When we are doing the work and taking action we are often too close to what is going on to see the progress we are making.

This can be discouraging and slow down our progress because it doesn't feel like the effort we are putting in is paying off.

This week's tap-along audio (and printable script below the player) will help you to recognize the progress you are making and to regain your momentum.

I recognize that my progress is incremental…I recognize my progress is not happening all at once…And because that is the case…It's really easy for me to miss my own progress…It's really easy for me to not recognize how I am moving forward…When I do not recognize my own progress…It's so easy for me to feel discouraged…It's easy for me to lose momentum…Because it doesn't feel like I'm moving forward…Since it doesn't feel like I'm moving forward…I don't want to waste my time or energy on something unsuccessful…I give myself permission to recognize the new normal…As being something that is different than the old normal…I give myself permission to recognize that progress is happening…Even if it is only happening in small ways…It is happening…I am moving forward…And I am making progress…I can see that progress when I take a step back…And reminding myself of my progress will help me to keep moving forward…It will help me maintain my momentum…It's a process…Sometimes I wish it wasn't always a process…But I recognize that is how success happens…I give myself permission to trust the process…And to trust that my action are having an effect…I am open to the process…I'm open to being more aware of the progress I am making…I give myself permission to keep taking action…Even when it doesn't feel like I'm moving forward…Because I am moving forward towards success.

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.
