What are your excuses?
- I’m too busy.
- There isn’t enough time.
- It’s too hard.
- I’m not good at these kinds of things.
Most of us have dreams. Things we want to create. And for most of us, those dreams will remain just that… dreams.
The fears, blocks, and procrastination will eat up the moments, hours, and days of your life. In the end, you may have a pile of dusty hopes, “might have been’s”, and “wish I had’s”. I don’t want my life to end up that way. I don’t want your life to end up that way, either.
We constantly stop ourselves from creating what we really care about. And that’s so sad. Because the world needs us to create beauty, love, new possibilities, and wonder.
Some of you are nodding, “yes”.
And many of us will be pulled back into the soup of normal everyday. I can even feel old comfort zones pulling at me while I write this. All the fears come up:
- “They won’t like this.”
- “This is different than I normally write.”
- “Who am I to speak about this?”
There isn’t anything wrong. It’s just my primitive brain trying to keep me safe. It’s worried about saber tooth tiger infestations and being trampled by mammoths. But I haven’t seen a saber tooth tiger or a mammoth in months!
Have you? 😉
If you’re pretty confident that your primitive brain is well intentioned.. and a bit overzealous… let’s retrain it so you can move forward with ease and confidence!
Please understand, new things are sometimes scary. Tapping doesn’t make you immune from feeling scared. Tapping just takes away the old, outdated information, so you can deal with the small present day fear instead of the piles of fears from the last decades.
If you’re on-board, pick something you want to create today.
Don’t choose something so big you can’t get started — that’s a classic procrastination game.
We want to teach your primitive brain that it’s safe to move forward. Give it a baby step. If you were teaching a 5 year old to read, you’d give her Good Night Moon, not War and Peace!
- If you’re shy, a baby step might be smiling at 3 new people today.
- If you want to clean up your finances, a baby step could be gathering your bank statements and checkbooks in one place.
- Looking for romance? Decide what online site you want to use and get your account.
- Want to get more fit? Walk for 10 minutes at work with a friend, or ask your body what would be a Yummy YES for it!
Just get started!
Each day we take a step makes a difference. And those baby steps add up.
If you signed up for OkCupid today, and filled in your name tomorrow, and wrote a little bit about yourself the next day, and uploaded your picture the next, you might surprise yourself and have a date next weekend.
I don’t want to look back and see a pile of what might have been. I want to see connections, love, experiences, and adventures. I want to see friends who laughed with me at the mistakes and who helped me clean up the goof-ups. And loved ones who celebrated with me on the wins.
Want more of that in your life?
Rick and I invite you to join our awesome group coaching program if you want to connect with amazing people, celebrate and grow with us, and create your dreams.
Let’s do some tapping to get started! (There’s a free EFT Tapping Manual if you need it!)
Side of the Hand: Even though I’ve been getting in my own way, and living my dreams seems scary, I’m ready to start living MY life now, and taking that first baby step.
Even though I’ve been letting my primitive brain run the show, I’m ready to show it a new way of being, and help it realize mammoth stampedes are a thing of the past.
Even though it never felt safe to create before… not my REAL dreams… it’s time to start. I want my life to be littered with love, connection, and curiosity, rather than empty stale dreams.
Top of the Head: This is a bit frightening…
Eyebrow: And kind of exciting.
Side of the Eye: I’m ready to take steps today.
Under the Eye: Each baby step adds up.
Under the Nose: And who knows what I’ll end up creating?
Chin: I can get support.
Collarbone: I can tap.
Under the Arm: And I get to start living my life now.
Top of the Head: I’m tired of waiting.
Eyebrow: I don’t have to do it all at once.

Under the Eye: I’m taking steps…
Under the Nose: And building my muscles…
Chin: So I can have the life I want.
Collarbone: I can train my primitive brain…
Under the Arm: And have it help me.
Top of the Head: I do get scared.
Eyebrow: And that’s ok.
Side of the Eye: I can still take a small step forward.
Under the Eye: Each time I do…
Under the Nose: I get stronger.
Chin: I learn that it isn’t so bad.
Collarbone: I get to celebrate.
Under the Arm: And learn.
Top of the Head: And create again tomorrow!
Take a deep breath.
