I often hear my clients say “I should have known better” OR “I know better, but for some reason I keep making the same choice” when they are judging their actions. Just knowing what the right choice is doesn't mean we will make it, because information alone is not enough.
Most of the reasons we don't make the right choice or take the right action, even though we know intellectually what we want to do, have to do with our emotional state. In almost every case, emotions will win out over reason.
This week's podcast explores:
- Why our emotions win
- How dealing with regret for poor choices in the past is key to making better choices in future
- How to use EFT Tapping to make better choices more often

In response to everything that is going on the world my friends Jennifer Carey and Dayna Wood have been doing a video show three times a week called “Connected and Conscious”.

A significant amount of my time tapping with clients is spent looking into the past. We identify and examine the past experiences and beliefs that have shaped the way that the subconscious influences present action. 
New York City is a wacky place. One of the things that I have encountered firsthand is how amazingly different the dating scene is here compared with other cities.
Last week a client asked me, “Why do you make me tap on that phrase all the time? Is it something you see in me that makes you think we need to tap on it?”
Just because we have a to-do list filled with useful tasks doesn't mean that we will actually have a productive day. Sometimes we waste our time on tasks that aren't even on our list, or we complete tasks on our list that are not the most valuable ones.
Recently I was working with a client on the grief she was feeling at missing so many experiences she loves during quarantine. As we were debriefing after a round of tapping she said:
The world is a very big place and when we think of how we can make an impact on the world and everything going on in it, we can feel awfully small.
Most choices aren't black and white, so being of two minds is a common experience. There are pros and cons to both outcomes.
Most of us spend at least half of our day at work. Because work consumes so much of our time and attention, stress from the working day can easily spill over into the rest of our lives. 
Family is complicated. Because they are family we want what is best for them. But at the same time we put up with more from them than we'd put up with from others because they are family. We will allow our family to say and do things that we would not tolerate from anyone else in our lives.
One of the most difficult parts of the healing process is being able to forgive ourselves.
These uncertain times mean that our emotional guidance system is on overdrive. It is working nonstop to keep us safe because it's dealing with the unknown.
