Two Types of Tapping

Tapping for first aid leads to relief and pause.
Tapping for action leads to action.
Part 2: 9 Immutable Laws Of Taking Action
1) If it wasn’t for resistance to change, the change would have already happened.
2) You can’t think your way out of an irrational fear.
3) The problem is not the problem (most of the time).
- Four reasons we don’t take action
- don’t know what we want
- don’t know how to do it
- hurts to do it
- hurts to be successful
- First two might be the problem
- Second two aren’t the problem
4) Fear is not the enemy. Misinformed and disproportionate fears are.
5) Change what you fear, change how you act.
- If you are free of fear you don’t have to prioritize your to-do list.
6) The challenge to change is inertia.
- The shit we know is better than the shit we don’t know.
7) When we are resource poor we will make emotional choices.
- Physical
- Emotional
- Cognitive
8) The people in our lives want us to change for the better as long they don’t have to change.
9) You don’t need to be be fearless. You need to be fearless-ish.
