I always knew procrastination was a big problem, having suffered with it myself in years past and watched countless others battle it, but when I offered a series of teleclasses on the subject, I was overwhelmed with participants and their responses! Procrastination is an uncomfortable, debilitating, frustrating habit that no doubt blocks you from attracting abundance, but where does it come from? I have found that people procrastinate for a variety of reasons, and until these reasons (emotional conflicts) are cleared or neutralized with EFT, no amount of talking or logical thinking will free you from this habit. Many people procrastinate when they feel resentful or angry at someone else. While they may feel resentful towards someone else, they are obviously taking their feelings out on themselves by blocking their own abundance. The vibrations of resentment and anger definitely limit their forward movement. (See above-mentioned recorded EFT session.) Other people procrastinate because they don't believe in themselves, feel reluctant to get started, or are afraid to put the "pedal to the metal" so to speak...What if they move forward and they really aren't any good? What if success really isn't the answer? What if someone else ridicules them for their achievements or efforts? What if they have to give up their story of being mediocre? All of these issues were touched upon in my recent teleclass sessions. The key is to recognize the behavior, name it and then treat it head on. When we procrastinate, we appear to have an inability to move forward despite our insistances that we want to. And we develop an expertise at finding something else to do instead of what we need to do! When we tap for the feelings and conflicts underneath the procrastination, our behavior and manifestations will inevitably improve. Before tapping, ask yourself the following questions: (1) What is the DOWNSIDE of moving forward? (2) Why don't you feel safe moving ahead? (3) What would happen if you stopped procrastinating? (4) How would your relationships change if you stopped procrastinating? Use any specific answers to these questions as setup statements for your EFT session. Below you will find basic EFT Setup Phrases followed by two rounds (one negative and one positive) for this newsletter's topic, Expecting Success... 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 can't stop procrastinating, I have decided to accept myself anyway." "Even though I can't seem to make myself do what I need to do, I accept who I am and how I feel." "Even though I'm not ready to stop procrastinating, I choose to love and accept myself right now." 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 can't stop procrastinating." Side of Eye: "I don't want to stop procrastinating." Under Eye: "What's the matter with me?" Nose: "I do want to move forward, but I can't." Chin: "I feel frustrated with myself." Collarbone: "Maybe I don't want to change yet." Under Arm: "I don't want to be so stuck." Head: "What if I could move forward slowly..." ***Now for the positive focus on the solution*** Eyebrow: "I wonder why I'm afraid to move forward?" Side of Eye: "Maybe I don't know how to move forward." Under Eye: "I wonder what feelings are holding me back." Nose: "I have pent up resentment that's holding me back." Chin: "What if I decided to stop procrastinating right now?" Collarbone: "I appreciate who I am and how I am behaving." Under Arm: "I choose to accept all of me, even the parts that frustrate me." Head: "I appreciate my decision to move forward." 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.
