Do It Better Now...
My last newsletter did not pass the SPAM blocker test, so I apologize to those
of you who did not receive Issue #19. Please visit http://www.attractingabundance.com/newsletters for
a copy of Issue #19, "Just Make a Decision." Please add me to
your "safe friends" list or "white list" so the newsletters are not bounced.
What do I mean by the phrase, Do It Better Now? So many of us are waiting for something external to happen or waiting for good news before we are willing to feel better. Some people admit that they can't feel better until they get a new job or a new relationship. I want to encourage you to feel good now, and one way to focus in the present and improve your vibration is to do whatever you are doing right now (a job, a relationship, parenting) and do your best even if you are "waiting" for something else to happen.
My client was waiting to end a relationship with her long time boyfriend. In the meantime, they were both miserable. When she learned how to Do It Better Now, meaning do her best to communicate respectfully, try harder to be civil, make real efforts to help the transition move smoothly, everything moved along much faster.
Another client of mine hated his current boss and workplace. He literally couldn't wait to get a new job. Meanwhile, he was becoming sloppy, had a lousy attitude, and repeatedly expressed to his colleagues how he dreaded going to work every day. These feelings were getting in the way of his manifesting a new job. After some tapping work with his attitude and shifting his energy, he was finally able to identify certain parts of his job that he enjoyed, focus on them, and make a commitment to do the best that he could possibly do, even though he intended to resign. This new attitude and behavior shifted his energy; he was convinced it made all the difference in his successfully attracting a new and perfect job for him.
Below you will find EFT Setup Phrases followed by two rounds (one negative and one positive) for this newsletter's topic, Just Make a Decision....
1. EFT SETUP PHRASES
The EFT SETUP Phrases for this topic are as follows:
While tapping the karate chop spot on either hand, repeat these phrases out loud, (or change the words to fit your exact situation).
"Even though I don't like what I have to do right now, I choose to do the best I can do and accept myself anyway."
"Even though I'm afraid I might get stuck doing what I don't want to do, I choose to accept how I feel and where I am."
"Even though I am reluctant to do a better job at what I hate, I choose to be the best possible me."
(Whether you are focused on a relationship, how you are taking care of yourself or your family, or on a job, use the following statements to shift your energy.)
I have indicated where to tap while saying each of the phrases below. You may repeat this round more than once if you wish. (Those of you who are new to EFT may view a chart of the spots on my web site under the EFT pages.)
***Now, for the phrases that focus on the problem***
Eyebrow: "I hate the job I have right now (or the body I have, the relationship I am in, the home I have..."
Side of Eye: "A part of me resents that I have to work hard."
Under Eye: "I don't want to work here anymore."
Nose: "I feel resentful about doing this."
Chin: "I don't want to do well."
Collarbone: "I want to be somewhere else (be with someone else, etc)."
Under Arm: "I am trying to do my best."
Head: "I need to protect myself."
***Now for the positive focus on the solution***
Eyebrow: "I choose to do the best I can do right now."
Side of Eye: "I have decided to look forward to something every day."
Under Eye: "I appreciate many things about my situation."
Nose: "I choose to allow myself to enjoy certain parts of my day."
Chin: "I just KNOW abundance is already on its way to me."
Collarbone: "I feel grateful for all the evidence of abundance in my life."
Under Arm: "I appreciate how I am able to change my mood."
Head: "I love feeling free and grateful for all the abundance already in my life."
Then tap on the following phrases as you complete one more round:
I love knowing we all deserve abundance...
I choose to believe in the guidance I am receiving...
I appreciate the prosperity in my life...
I love appreciating my body, my friends, my opportunities...
I'm grateful for all the new opportunities for abundance...
I appreciate exactly who I am...
I appreciate all the lessons I have learned...
I am so grateful for all the prosperity in my life.
2. RECOMMENDATIONS AND TIPS:
A "LOVE" JOURNAL: Many of you have explained you have a hard time expressing gratitude in a journal or on my recommended Gratitude Walk. So here is another twist...see if it is any easier. (For those of you who are not bothered by the words gratitude or appreciation, this won't sound very different.) For those of you who have expressed some resistance to the GRATITUDE JOURNAL, this could make all the difference in the world.
Write simple statements about what you love in a notebook. This might be easier to say, write and feel than expressing appreciation for some of you. Your list might sound like this:
I love my pets...I love this time of year...I love feeling well rested...I love having a job to go to every morning...I love how strong my body feels...I love my new neighbor...I love the pictures we took on vacation... etc.
My second recommendation for this newsletter is taken from an article I wrote recently for the Master's section on Gary Craig's web site. For the full article, "Top 10 Tapping Tips" please visit http://www.attractingabundance.com/casestudies.html.
"You" Tapping: While tapping on one of your own issues, use the "second person singular" over and over again. For example, setup statements at the karate chop point would be: Even though you made a mistake, you were trying to do it right and are allowed not to be perfect... Even though you didn't mean to hurt her, consider accepting all of you and your feelings... Even though you don't want to forgive yourself, try accepting your feelings anyway. Then tap the sequence of points using "you" as the subject:
Eyebrow: You made a mistake…
Side of Eye: So what?
Under Eye: You meant well…
Under the Nose: You are human…
Chin: You don't need to be perfect…
Collarbone: You are lovable anyway…
Under Arm: You are such a good person…
Top of head: You are totally lovable and worthy anyway.

3-8. Success and Abundance Unlimited with Carol Look and Steve Wells
Just a quick note to report that our class in Dallas last weekend was a huge success, and many participants have already noticed exciting breakthroughs. Steve taught us invaluable information about prioritizing values, goal setting, and using a more provocative approach with EFT, and I taught the class how to burst through limiting beliefs in personal and professional areas of their lives. Our differences and similarities made us a great match and I highly recommend making the effort to be trained by Steve in the future. See http://www.EFTDownUnder.com.
