I Want To Be Thankful But… - It feels like an obligation - I fear it will be taken away - I still want more - If I'm happy I'll be targeted - I can't until I'm perfect - I'm embarrassed that I have a lot
These Internal Conflicts Afraid to celebrate financial abundance, I want to be liked, I want to lose weight, but I don't want to diet, I want to move forward, but feel like I need permission, How can I accept myself with all these issues? Fighting myself to eat more healthy
Scared - What Still Scares Me… Stress and Pain from old medical testing... Fear if running out of money... Allowing myself to be hopeful... My son’s teenage years.
Unloved - I Am Unlovable Because… I don’t do what they wanted me to... My weight... I’m too much... I’m not good enough... I’m defective.
Anxiety - I Feel Anxious About… Coming into my power... Office politics... My negativity... Not sure if my topic is ok... Eating... Overall stress... It’s not safe to address anxiety issues! My purpose... Making good decisions.
Criticized - I Feel Criticized Criticize: Find fault, judge, denounce. Self criticism vs external. Want to feel peaceful, powerful, forgiven, acceptable. Tapping on Inner Critic. Everyone must love me so they won’t hurt me. I have to be perfect to be acceptable!
Unsafe - It’s Not Safe To Feel Safe If I felt safe… People might be jealous. I wouldn’t be alert enough. I will attract dangerous people or things. Something terrible will happen. I’m not allowed to feel safe, I don’t deserve it.
Impatience - I’m So Impatient I’m So Impatient with my clients, why won’t the decide? I am so frustrated with myself, I can’t be wrong and be loved. Heal, Damn it! My body’s confused.
Loneliness - I’m Very Lonely I don't deserve connection... I don't belong... They never really accepted me and that hurts... I hate to be alone!
Ashamed - I Am Ashamed of Myself Shame: Something that is wrong about who I am... Guilt: Something wrong that I did... Should have... Jealousy and anger... I was so mean.
Dependent - I Hate Being Dependent On Others We all depend on (rely on) others for support. The angst comes from a few sources: 1) If someone gives me something, I owe them or they control me. (other definitions of dependent). 2) A belief in lack- if I rely on this, and it goes away, I won’t be able to stand it! 3) The things we tell ourselves about it (I’m weak, embarrassed).
Betrayed - I Feel Betrayed By My Body People generally feel betrayed when their bodies “let them down”, by hurting, getting ill or tired, or not being able to perform some task. Where did we get the belief that our bodies should just keep ticking along, no matter what we ask of them?
Afraid - I’m Afraid to be Visible Being visible means different things to different people. This fear can hold us back in business, public speaking, romantic relationships, any social activity. When we feel we need to hide, there is generally a sense of fear or shame (or both).
Apprehensive - I Feel Apprehensive About the Future We genuinely can't control the future. We are often afraid because: Bad things have happened in the past, so we expect bad things to happen (and attract them). We don't trust ourselves to deal with what occurs, good or bad. We either don't know or doubt our ability to create abundance and safety
Unwanted - I Don’t Feel Wanted Many people who carry this belief learned it when they were very young. As adults, we may not need a particular caregiver, but we are aware of needing our social network to receive the abundance we have (electricity, telephone, transportation, medical care, social connection). When we have a "not wanted" wound, any form of rejection or distance may trigger that fear and pain.
Unappreciated - I Feel Unappreciated I expected to be appreciated! I have to earn appreciation... Why can’t they see all of me? I need their approval... I have to be a good girl... Not sure I deserve appreciation...
Hopelessness - When Will This Ever End? When will this ever end? -- This question has within it the energy of hopelessness. And it is easy to become hopeless when we focus our attention on that which still is in our life (or in the world at large) that SHOULD NOT.
Overwhelm - 2006-04-03 Feelings of overwhelm are guaranteed when we focus on what we should or “have to” do. We are freedom-seeking beings, and as soon as we perceive a situation or set of tasks as enslaving us, our emotional guidance system REBELS. There are ways to re-perceive a to-do list which can make it empowered by personal choice and spiritual guidance.
Anxiety - 2006-04-02 Feelings of anxiety can come from our most primitive instincts. And it they can come from perceptions and beliefs of our thinking brain. In this extended team call we cover anxiety from several different angles as it relates to past experiences of “losing it all” to career fears and feeling like there is too big a gap between what we have and what we want and anxiety that comes from PUSHING a project rather than relaxing and allowing. (This call also inspired an article Anxiety as Guidance.)
Grief - 2006-03-19 Grief is intertwined with our spiritual beliefs and knowings. So, no discussion of grief can take place without that context being present. As you listen to this team call on grief and loss, it is my hope that the message of the eternalness of Who We Really Are comes through in a way that feels good to you, that provides some measure of relief during times of grief.
Guilt & Shame - 2006-03-19 Once we get down to the hurt, the guilt and shame, significant progress can be made. Those feelings that we shouldn’t exist, that we’re not good enough, that we ARE wrong (shame) or that we’ve done wrong (guilt)… these get so strongly ingrained on an energetic level that affects the whole organism.
Out of Control! - 2006-03-14 We all want to feel control because feeling in control feels GOOD! There is a sense of certainty when we feel like Master of our own Universe. And that feeling typically lasts until something outside ourselves intrudes… and convinces us that we are, alas, NOT in control. Yet, we ARE. We are in control of the one part of our lives that determines our Life Experience…
Jealousy & Envy - 2006-03-12 When we feel jealousy (fearful or wary of being supplanted, or of losing affection or position) or envy (a feeling of discontentment and resentment aroused by desire for the possessions or qualities of another), we can use EFT on the body sensations and use re-perceiving to empower ourselves.
Anger - 2006-03-10 The emotional journey from disempowerment to joy… usually goes right through anger. And anger feels SO much better than despair, grief, and hopelessness. Good! Take time with yourself, be angry, use EFT, and keep moving up the vibrational scale. These audio sessions give you examples on how to do just that.
