50% of everything you do… isn’t as good as the other half. The first time I heard this, it was like a punch in the gut. Oh no, it’s true. Half of everything I do isn’t any good. Arrgh! And then I had to smile because…
...Welcome to Thriving Now!
What do you do if your self-judgment gets in the way of tapping? It isn’t fun to do something when you are constantly feeling criticized!
...“Worried” and “angry” are emotional postures. So are peevish, cynical, critical, lonely, unmotivated, ignored, friendless, untrusting, not-good-enough, unappreciated, and unloved. Let’s also include overwhelmed, frustrated, impatient, and stressed. If a person demonstrates such a state of being on a consistent basis, it is an emotional posture. It has become how the person stands and relates to the world. EFT and our group coaching program can help you establish new, self-empowered emotional postures.
...Are you needing an uplift? A simple uplift is the type of thing that is available, I believe, to anyone anywhere. Simple says that it doesn’t have to be Big. It doesn’t have to be complicated. All the conditions don’t have to be perfect. And it can still be savored and give us a pleasurable boost.
...When you’re distressed, can you shift to neutral with confidence and ease? I didn’t realize for a long time that this is a SKILL… a skill that can be cultivated and become one of the most beautiful gifts we can give to ourselves and those around us. People talk about wanting to be Happy. They …
A typical affirmation is stated in the present tense as if what you want is already yours. For example, “I am wonderful!” Say that to yourself. “I am wonderful!” Notice what your head says right after the affirmation. What your head says AFTER the affirmation is, indeed, the REAL affirmation.
...Is PAIN getting in your way? Whether it's emotional distress, physical pain, fear & anxiety, worry, past trauma, active disease, stress, overwhelm... or a painful combination! Get Relief Now

- Simple UpliftsSimple Uplifts Simple Uplifts offer a sustainable, easily-available boost to our state of being. By focusing on something pleasing to us and allowing it to consciously influence us, our energy is buoyed. They are called simple uplifts because they are not a “big win” or “joyous surprise” but rather one of a myriad of pleasantries […]

- AgreementsAgreements Agreements help us navigate relationships by making assumptions and expectations conscious for discussion, refinement, and mutual consent. Agreements ideally are achievable, reasonable, serve the values of all parties, and allow for exit, renegotiation, and repair where possible. People who share agreements are less likely to resent those who don’t meet their unexpressed (and sometimes […]

- Telling The TruthI posted something else a while back by this gentleman who lives in my town, Wes Geitz. He’s a very interesting man. He’s an EFT’er and a tracker and wilderness survival/thrival person trained by northern Canadian indigenous peoples. He is known as ‘Wind Walker’ by them. I’ve seen him several times in years past for […]

He is in a state of deep trance or meditation called “takatet”. When he was first discovered in a mountain cave they thought he was […]
- Stop feeling!I saw this video in another EFT email I got. It brings up feelings about when I’d go to church and felt so anxious. I told one of the minister’s helpers and she said, “Everything’s in Divine Order”, which didn’t help me one bit. They would give me some positive thinking BS, and not acknowledge […]
- ContrastContrast Contrast is a tool for helping us gain clarity about what we do want through being aware of what we do not want. Contrast refines our preferences, whether the contrast is painful and radically contrary to our desire or “just a bit different” than what we seek. “Contrast” as part of “compare and contrast” […]

To sum it all up, all I can say is that the world is not as forgiving as I once […]
- CirclingCircling Circling invites us to imagine those we’re engaging with to be in the geometry of a circle, each with a place and role and unique position. Circling brings an attitude of inclusion (the circle can expand to fit more participants) and of co-creating in connection with one another (everyone can see everyone else) without […]

This morning I was thinking to myself “It’s not reasonable (or sustainable as […]
