Good morning,

In the trainings that I lead I often talk about how I wasn't exactly what is considered a 'normal' child. I had a tendency to notice and comment on things in my surroundings that most kids my age didn't.

One example of this is an experience I had at the dentist when I was in grade school (probably 10 or 11 years old).

I'm not sure if this is something that's common outside the US, but dentists here often put posters on the ceilings of their treatment rooms, so you have something distracting to look at when you are tilted back in the dentist's chair.

My dentist, Dr. Batchelder, was no different and his ceiling featured a poster that has always stuck in my mind.

Following my basic check up I had a fluoride treatment, one of those where the dentist puts molds full of gel in your mouth and leaves them there for about ten minutes.

There I was, lying back in the chair with my mouth full of molds and gel, looking at the ceiling poster. It was the classic cute kitty "hang in there" poster, which looked something like this:

As I was looking up at my new kitty cat friend, I thought to myself (again, because I was not a regular sort of a kid):

Has there ever been a person who was really scared of the dentist, looked up at this poster, and thought, 'Of course! I just need to hang in there and everything will be perfectly fine.'

Sadly that is not the way life works!

And the reason it doesn't work has nothing to do with cute kitties.

Simply being presented with good information or useful advice is not enough for change to take place. If it were enough, then encouraging posters and inspirational bumper stickers would be all we need to heal and take positive action towards achieving our goals.

But the way our subconscious mind works means that we can't simply rewrite the stories and beliefs we hold about the world by introducing a new thought.

On one level, this is a good thing. If we were able to change our beliefs that easily, then we might be surprised by a dog barking unexpectedly and be petrified of dogs for the rest of our lives.

On another level, it is frustrating. We may intellectually know something is safe for us to do, but because we can't just rewrite our subconscious mind, we end up stuck in old patterns of fear and inaction.

That is the reason I love tapping so much!

Tapping gives us access to the old stories and beliefs held in our subconscious mind and allows us to transform them into beliefs that serve us and allow us to live the lives we want.

Unfortunately just because tapping can help us to make these changes, it doesn't mean we actually create the change we want.

There are two simple reasons why we don't create this change:

1. We don't tap
2. When we do tap, we don't know the best way to tap to create the change we desire

That is why I created the First Action, Best Action Membership program!

In this program I will teach you the most effective ways to find the root causes of whatever is holding you back AND (most importantly) how to tap for those issues to gain lasting change, not just temporary relief.

In addition, the program will help you to make tapping a more regular part of your life. I never want you to be in the position where you think to yourself, "I wish I had remembered to tap on that!"

The best part of the First Action, Best Action Membership program is that you can participate in the live classes, download all the resources in the member's area, and receive the welcome kit full of tools to help you to remember to tap more, all absolutely free. You only have to pay for the shipping and handling for your welcome kit.

By signing up you will receive access to everything above free of charge for the first month. After the first month, you will be charged a $50/month membership fee.

You can cancel at any time.

AND with the free one-month trial you have nothing to lose!

Just knowing the right thing to do isn't enough. Just knowing actions are safe doesn't mean we will actually do them. Just knowing how to tap doesn't create change.

If we want our lives to change for the better, then we not only need to do the work, but we need to do the work in the most effective way possible.

Let me help you do exactly that: https://home.tappingqanda.com/faba-sign-up
