The quote in this post title is by my dear friend, and mentor, Dov Baron. What’s your response when you read it?
Do you feel resistance because “Being brave isn’t part of who I am”, or “I just need to do ___________________ before I take that big step”?
There’s always a reason why we can’t do, shouldn’t do, will never be able to do. Yet if we want something deeply enough, if there is enough underlying pain involved, it’s amazing how quickly, and easily, we are able to get clear, make a decision, and do what needs to be done.
Last year, the ‘pain’ was great enough for me.
Having presented at the Tappers Gathering in Colorado last year, I knew I wanted to hold a similar event here. All the “yeah, but…” resistance in the world came up for me! Yet deep down, I knew we needed a similar event here, and I HAD to organize it. There are so many amazing EFT Practitioners out there, and they deserve a platform on which to speak. Also, I wanted my story to be heard: how I’d recovered fully from severe CFS by using EFT persistently.
On Saturday, October 2nd, 2010, the FIRST Canadian EFT Gathering happened!
And it took place in “little old Langley,” the town where I live – not in a five star hotel in well-known, central Vancouver!
And because it was such an incredible success, we’ll be holding the second Canadian EFT Gathering in October next year, for two days, with a workshop preceding the event.
And one of the speakers at the event will be Dawson Church, Ph.D, author of “The Genie in Your Genes”, and current lynchpin of the EFT world.
And, and, and…
You see, so many unexpected and wonderful things have occurred as a result of me taking action, and tapping on all the reasons my ‘inner skeptic’ gave me not to hold the event.
Do you need to take action right now?
Do you feel the resistance? Write a list of all the reasons why you “can’t” take action right now, and tap on them.
If you stay where you are, how much pain will you continue to feel? Use that pain to motivate you forward.
Simply put, it will be short term pain, for long term gain, and that is worth so much more than feeling unfulfilled and frustrated.
Feel free to tell me how you had the courage to take action in the Comments Box, and motivate others!

If you want to make progress in your life focus on what you want instead of what you don’t want.
I’ve spent the last year becoming really focused on where I want my business, and my personal life, to be heading. I’ve become very clear about what I want to accomplish in both areas of my life. If I make a mistake, I’m able to let go; I don’t beat myself up over what hasn’t worked.
Believe me, this has taken time, and a lot of tapping! It hasn’t been easy to let go of old patterns, limiting beliefs and the inevitable overwhelm I usually found myself to be in.
Over the last few weeks, I’ve worked with a number of clients, helping them set out and accomplish their vision. I’ve noticed a common theme: when we’re in fear, it’s easy to focus on what’s going wrong, what isn’t working and what doesn’t bring us joy.
In fact, we are so focused on these areas that we lose sight of what we could accomplish, where we want to be, and of what we are capable. We also lose the potential to feel the joy and vibrancy within us, instead feeling exhausted, overwhelmed and disheartened.
Following my article and EFT tapping transcript in last month’s newsletter on becoming focused, this month I thought it would be beneficial to take this one step further. Below is a technique I use with my clients when they want to accomplish something, yet know there are hidden saboteurs at play. It’s a great way to become clear, and raise your vibration, because you’ll be directing your attention towards what you want, how it will make you feel, and how your life will be different as a result of achieving this goal.
- First, write down what it is that you really want. Ensure you write in the positive, e.g., “I want to be healthy”, instead of “I don’t want to be sick anymore”.
- Next, write down how you will feel once you have achieved your goal. Take a moment to connect to those feelings and be as expressive as you can. Rather than “I’ll feel good”, consider “I’ll feel fantastic, free, safe, energized, etc.”
- Finally, write down how your life will be different when you have what you want.
- Then, read aloud the statement you have written down. As you hear your words, consider the believability of this outcome. If you feel a real connection to what you’ve written, and it all seems very believable, then assign it a ’10′. If it seems completely unbelievable, then assign it a ’0′, or give it a number in between to reflect how believable you find the statement to be.
- If your number is below a ’10′ (which it probably is, otherwise you would have already achieved whatever it is that you want), then consider what is stopping it being a ’10′. What are you resisting? What are the saboteurs? Why are you afraid of accomplishing this vision?
- Whatever answers you come up with, assign each one an intensity rating, and tap away the resistance with EFT.
- When you have done this, go back and re-read your statement and rate the believability again. The goal is to reach a ’10′, so if you’re not quite there, tap on any remaining resistance to completely owning what you want.
I’d love to hear your results! Please comment below on how well this technique worked for you.
