Pod #560: Three lenses for uncovering resistance – Finding Root Causes (Part 2)

May 24, 2023 by Gene Monterastelli

Sometimes we have to do tasks that we just don't like because they are no fun, such as having to scrub the inside of a smelly old garbage can, or doing yard work at three in the afternoon on a hot summer's day.

There are other tasks where the reason we avoid doing them is less clear. Hidden behind our reluctance is the key to understanding our resistance to taking action.

When we are able to decode our resistance and uncover the hidden meaning behind it, then we have a powerful tool for clearing our self-sabotaging behaviors.

This week in the podcast I share with you three lenses you can use to find hidden limiting beliefs in the tasks you don't like.

Pod #559: Two questions I always ask when tapping – Finding Root Causes (Part 1)

May 17, 2023 by Gene Monterastelli

Just because we know what to do, how to do it, and have everything we need to take action, it doesn't mean we actually take action.

For me, this is one of the most frustrating places to be because it is clear that I am set up for success AND I am the one getting in my own way.

The tricky part of this situation is identifying the resistance hindering us from taking action because it is seldom obvious.

We wind up frustrated and confused by our inaction, and then we beat ourselves up for not taking action.

This week in the podcast I share two simple questions you can ask yourself to help uncover the root causes of your reluctance to move forward. I use these questions every day when tapping on my own and when working with clients.

Pod #558: “This or something better…” – My favorite tapping phrases (Part 9)

May 10, 2023 by Gene Monterastelli

As humans, we are great at complaining!

And I don't mean that as a put-down because there is a sound evolutionary reason why we excel at complaining. A complaint is a recognition of something that is bad, painful, or distasteful.

This is the subconscious mind's way of keeping us safe. When we point out what is negative, it makes it easier to recognize and avoid it in future. The problem is that the subconscious is good at avoiding the undesirable, but poor at finding what is better.

This week we are continuing the My Favorite Tapping Phrases series with a phrase that will help you to find what you want instead.

This is a phrase I use with my goal setting AND with my tapping, and I know you will love it too.

Pod #557: “I give my emotions permission to be heard…” – My favorite tapping phrases (Part 8)

May 3, 2023 by Gene Monterastelli

It is so common to apologize when we get emotional in front of others.

You may feel like you are overreacting, or being extra, or that you are burdening the people around you.

Awareness of how our emotions can impact others is a good thing, BUT it is also important that we don't just bottle up or suppress strong emotions.

In this week's podcast, we are continuing the My Favorite Tapping Phrases Series with the phrase I use for myself and with clients when strong or difficult emotions arise.

AND it is a phrase that will make you feel better just by saying it, though of course tapping with the phrase will be even more powerful.

Pod #556: “AND it does not determine what comes next…” – My favorite tapping phrases (Part 7)

April 26, 2023 by Gene Monterastelli

Our subconscious mind is brilliant at figuring out cause and effect relationships. That is how we learn.

If I touch a hot stove and it hurts, I learn not to touch a hot stove again. I smile at someone and find that they are more likely to be nice to me, so I learn that people often reflect my behavior.

Because all of this happens at an unconscious level, we don't notice these connections. Instead, we are constantly learning from observation and experience in the background.

This is great…EXCEPT when we learn the wrong lessons!

One of the ways in which the subconscious mind learns the wrong lesson is by assuming that because something was a certain way in the past, it will be that same way in the future.

Our past impacts and informs our future, but it does not predetermine what comes next.

This week, as we continue the My Favorite Tapping Phrase Series, I share the tapping phrase I use to help create a shift from feeling stuck in the past, to creating a new path forward. I also explain how easy it is to add this phrase to your current tapping practice.
