The primary goal of our subconscious mind is to keep us safe.
To do this, it is constantly learning lessons from our experience. For example, after touching a hot stove a small child quickly learns quickly not to do that again.
This only becomes a problem when the subconscious mind learns the “wrong” lesson from an experience.
I frequently see this come up when working with my clients around their reluctance to take action. Their resistance usually stems from one of these lessons that is neither useful nor true.
The most common lesson learned is that failure is bad, painful, and must be avoided at all costs. At first glance, this seems reasonable…except that the solution proposed by the subconscious mind is not to try at all.
The logical fallacy is obvious: Not taking action doesn't keep us safe, it keeps us stuck.
In this week's podcast, I share two ways to release the resistance to taking action that is created by past failures.

Wanting to belong is a basic human desire.
Erik Tait is a world class magician and someone I love to see perform. He has spent over two decades performing as a juggler, standup comedian, and magician.
There is a natural human tendency to want to make sure everything is “exactly right” before we take action. That's because when everything is exactly right, we can be as sure as we can be of getting the results we desire.
One of the reasons I love art is because it gives us the ability to communicate meaning in ways that we aren't always able to do when simply talking about our lives.
One of the reasons I love tapping so much is that it can be used for so many types of issues. It can be used to:
Late last year my friend Brad Yates reached out to see if there was some way we could use our platforms to encourage more people to tap for peace and to become more active peacemakers in the world.
I love how tapping can be used to clear and transform the negative.
Tapping is deceptively simple.
One of the most important parts of the 
Something I really love about the people I work with is their tendency to see the bigger world outside of themselves. They recognize the people in their lives who are struggling and in pain, and they also want to do something about it.
For the 
One of my favorite ways to learn is by listening to the questions others ask.
Goals are a powerful tool in helping us to move forward. They give us clear direction, they help to create clarity for our best next steps, and they serve as a measuring stick for us to evaluate the action we take.
One of the phrases I spend a lot of time tapping on with my clients is the idea that “time is a zero sum game”. What I mean by this phrase is that if you are doing one thing, you can't be doing anything else.
When most of us learned the basics of tapping, one of the first bits of advice we received was to “be as specific as possible when you are tapping.”
Tapping is a tool that is simple to explain and understand, but not necessarily easy to do.
On March 3rd, 2009 the first episode of the Tapping Q & A Podcast went live…and within 90 minutes that same episode was taken offline because of a major editing error.
Tapping is something that is simple to explain, but isn't necessarily easy to execute.
None of the success that I have enjoyed in my life is something that I have accomplished on my own.
