Pod #592: 4 questions to end the day– Tapping Mini-Tools (Part 4)

January 3, 2024 by Gene Monterastelli

We have all experienced lying in bed at night trying to get to sleep

BUT our racing minds keep us awake.

Usually we are replaying everything that didn't work out today, and worrying about everything that could be difficult tomorrow.

As our thoughts spin, we become increasingly unsettled, which makes sleep even harder.

Regardless if you are someone who anxiously tosses and turns in bed at night, letting go of the stress from our day and releasing worry about tomorrow is a good thing for everyone.

This week, as we continue the Tapping Mini Tools series we look at four questions that are perfect for letting go of today's stress and worries about tomorrow.

The questions can be used at the end of your work day or just before you go to bed at night. AND there is a great way you can use these questions to tap your children at the end of the day.

In this week's podcast I share the four questions and how to use them to maximum effect.

Pod #591: Step into the slipstream – Tapping Mini-Tools (Part 3)

December 27, 2023 by Gene Monterastelli

It would be very easy to assume by looking at a group of migratory birds, like ducks, flying in a V-Formation to assume the bird in the front in the leader.

But if you watch the flight for any length of time you will notice that the leader changes quite frequently.

The bird in the front is not the leader, but instead the one who is working the hardest as the other birds fall into the slip-stream. The slip-stream is the space created behind a moving object that is easier to move through.

By flying in this way it is easier for the flock to move, with less effort by taking advantage of aerodynamics of the slip-stream.

I found that it is possible to create a slip-stream in my daily life. And I don't mean walking in a V-Formation as we move through the day, but instead it is possible to find an emotional slip-stream which makes the day easier.

This week in the podcast as we continue the Tapping Mini-Tools Series I am going to share with you the way I create and emotional slip-stream to make it easier to get through the day will a little tapping.

Pod #590: You should stop saying should – Tapping Mini-Tools (Part 2)

December 20, 2023 by Gene Monterastelli

When working with clients, it is important to listen closely to the words they use and pay attention to everything they are saying.

When I do this, I am not just listening to the meaning of the story my clients are telling, I am also paying particular attention to the words they use.

This is because we respond to the world emotionally based on the way that we describe it, not how it is.

A simple example of this is if someone said, “Everyone at work hates me” If a client says that, emotionally it doesn't really matter if everyone at work hates them. It also doesn't matter if they truly believe that everyone at work hates them.

Saying “Everyone at work hates me” means they will respond emotionally as if it is true.

That is why I pay such close attention to the exact words used by my clients. Their words are the key to how they are feeling emotionally.

In this week's podcast, we are continuing the Tapping Mini-Tools Series and I share with you the one word I pay the closest attention to when it's used by my clients.

If my client says this word, I can immediately see where their emotional struggle will come from. I also share an easy way to reframe this word so that you communicate clearly and without creating unnecessary emotional distress.

Pod #589: A new way to think about goals – Mini-Tools (Part 1)

December 13, 2023 by Gene Monterastelli

I love goals.

They are a powerful way to focus attention and to help us stay motivated to keep taking action.

At the same time, the moment we create a goal, we also create expectations. Naming something that we want to happen means opening ourselves up to possible disappointment if we do not achieve the goal.

This week, as we start the Mini-Tool Series, I share with you a brief phrase I add to the beginning of all my goal statements that ensures I am not adding pressure to my life by stating my goal.

I also share a simple way to tap with this phrase that will make it even easier to take consistent action towards my goal.

Pod #588: How I designed the 30-Day Tapping Challenge

December 6, 2023 by Gene Monterastelli

This November we hosted our most successful 30-Day Tapping Challenge to date.

The goal was to, as a community, do 15,000 rounds of tapping collectively. We ended up doing over 20,000 rounds in the month of November alone AND people keep tapping.

You are more than welcome to revisit any of the videos as they will remain on YouTube, where you can access them free of charge. Full playlist

This is the fourth year that we have run the challenge. With each passing year, I have spent more time ahead of the challenge designing and planning the process.

In the first year, the goal was simply to get people to tap. In the second and third years, I gave more thought to the topics and how all 30 topics worked together.

This year I took it a step further. As well as giving a lot of thought to the topics for tapping, a huge amount of thought also went into designing how we tapped.

In the last few months, I have been exploring a new healing framework to understand why we resist healing, taking action, and moving forward. This new framework has not only improved my personal tapping practice, but it has also helped to create faster, deeper, and longer lasting healing for my clients.

In this week's podcast I share the design behind the challenge and how you can incorporate this framework in your own personal change work.
