A Tapping Journey - Shift Wide Open

Overwhelm

11/30/2010

Sometimes our feeling of OVERWHELM come from ourselves ---we block letting ideas and inspirations come to us because we think life has to be hard.

Let’s see if we can let ourselves off the hook a bit.

KC: Even though I am overwhelmed –I’m really working hard and I’m proud of how hard I work--–I accept who I am and would love to let that stubborn part of myself go
KC: Even though I’m proud of how hard I work and independent I am---I sure would like to let part of “I’ll do it myself” attitude go
KC: Even though I’m overwhelmed and I can’t even think straight --- I want to open myself to the idea of allowing new ideas, inspirations and support to come to me—I want that new attitude and accept that I’m ready to change

EB: I work really hard
SE: and I’m really proud of that
UE: and I sometimes it’s too overwhelming
UN: sometimes I’m just too independent
CH: It’s just too much sometimes
CB: I’d actually love it to be easier
UA: I am open to it being easier
TH: I’m open to new ideas coming to me

EB: Inspirations that make my life easier
SE: People and resources that support my life
UE: I wonder what could show up for me
UN: I’m open to ideas and inspirations showing up from all sorts of places and people
CH: I’m open to brilliant ideas
CB: easy and effortless solutions
UA: inspired thinking
TH: just popping into my mind

EB: I give my body permission to remove my unwanted mental block
SE: to allowing new ideas and inspirations
UE: magically occurring to me
UN: I love it when I’m inspired and creative
CH: I love when I step out of my own way
CB: What if I allow it to be easy
UA: I’m allowing this to be easy and elegant
TH: I’m allowing ideas and inspiration to flow to me

Breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth- ahhhh

Sometimes our bodies just want permission to let it be easy. It really is okay to let the blocks go. Notice if you get any glimmers of ideas or if your energy is different.

Creative and Special

11/29/2010

Have you ever not felt creative or special---that you have nothing to offer? This time of year can bring up lots of old beliefs and feelings.

Let’s see what we can diffuse.

KC: Even though I don’t feel very creative. I honor my frustration.
KC: Even though I don’t feel I make a difference. I accept how I feel anyway.
KC: Even though I don’t feel special. I honor and accept myself anyway.

EB: Not a creative idea in my head
SE: I’m not special
UE: I don’t make a difference
UN: Who cares about what I think
CH: No one ever thought I was special
CB: I believed “them”
UA: “They don’t know my heart
TH: How deeply I feel

EB: The lessons my journey has taught me
SE: I have a unique perspective
UE: Someone might resonate with my perspective
UN: Someone’s painful journey might be eased
CH: Me a role model?
CB: Maybe
UA: I have learned to forgive myself
TH: It wasn’t easy

EB: I learned my lessons atypically
SE: I am unique
UE: I am special in the best way
UN: I am getting stronger everyday
CH: “They” might be wrong
CB: “They” were “then” and “this is now”
UA: I am strong, wise and special
TH: I am Me, I am Creative, and have the right perspective to share

Breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth- ahhhh

CB: Look at how I created this healing experience. I can be whatever I want to be--- now that’s creative.

Saturday's and Sunday's

11/27/2010

Tap on any point as you are out and about---even the sides of the fingers---the sides closest to the thumbs and up where the nail meets the skin of the fingers.

Enjoy you weekend! LoveLoveLove

Pressure

11/26/2010

Often we are pressured to buy things we can’t afford from the media, friends, and family--- marketing can make us feel inadequate in many ways.

Let’s tap on a bit of reality.

KC: Even though there is all this pressure to buy “this” and “that.” I accept the pressure of the hype and how I feel about it.
KC: Even though I can’t afford all the “things” my beloveds want. I accept and honor my feelings about all this.
KC: Even though I feel financially strapped. I am willing to see how rich I really am in love’s arms.

Breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth- ahhhh

11/25/2010

You can tap positive feelings in with out tapping on the KC point. You don’t even have to do “set-up” phrase.

Holiday pre-stress and overwhelm

11/24/2010

The day before a holiday can stress/overwhelm us out in many ways. Tapping helps calm us down and shift our perspective.

KC: Even though I have all these things to do for tomorrow---I know I won’t please everyone and I just have to acknowledge that.
KC: Even though I have ALL these other people to take care of tomorrow and once again I’ll come last on the list. I accept all my feelings anyway.
KC: Even though there are people who are gone and I’ll miss them this holiday. I honor their memory in my heart.

EB: TOO much to do

If there is a top you would like me to start addressing let me know. LoveLoveLove as you start preparing for tomorrow.

The habit of Overwhelm

11/23/2010

Sometimes part of our OVERWHELMED feelings stem from the habit of thing we always have to do everything alone.

I find I can reduce the stress level but acknowledging this fact. I can be pretty independent?!?!?

KC: Even though I’m totally overwhelmed- It seems I’m always behind on what I need to do---it feels like I’ll never catch up--I honor and accept my feelings
KC: Even though I feel totally stressed—I have a list of things to get done by noon—I accept myself and all my feelings
KC: Even though I have to do it ALL myself and it’s pretty overwhelming and it seems to never end--- accept all my feelings

EB: I’m totally overwhelmed
SE: I’ll never get it done
UE: Too many things to do
UN: I can’t trust anyone to help me
CH: I always have to do it myself
CB: then I know it’s done right
UA: I feel the stress in my body
TH: I feel all this resistance to asking for help

EB: I am so overwhelmed
SE: What if there was someone to help me
UE: That’s a sign of defeat
UN: They’ll judge me
CH: Wait---other people ask for help
CB: They ask for help and get help
UA: They might know of an easier way
TH: I could ask someone how they would do this

EB: I watch experts on TV and get tips all the time
SE: I don’t have to do it all myself
UE: I think I’ll ask for suggestions on one thing
UN: There is no one to ask
CH: I’ll get quiet for a minute and see what idea pops in my head
CB: taking a breathe, closing my eyes, and getting still
UA: Allowing an idea to come to me
TH: An idea on just one thing

Breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth- ahhhh

CB: Allowing myself to relax and letting the answer come to me—easily and effortlessly--- breathing and allowing the easy and elegant solution to pop into my head.

Breathe and see if you just have more energy now. Sometimes that’s all we need to do is let out body relax for just a moment.
