Good morning,

It had been a particularly hard week.

I had been working non-stop and my attention was being pulled in too many directions. Because of this, I didn't have as much time to tap as I would have liked. (Which is the nice way of saying it had been days since I had done any tapping for myself.)

I refilled my glass of water.

I got out my tapping journal.

I put my phone on silent and my computer to sleep.

As I started to tap, I felt like there was a giant mass of emotions lodged in the middle of my chest. Even though I knew I was feeling emotionally overloaded, I was not able to name what the emotions were.

So I started to tap in one of my favorite ways: wordlessly.

As I tapped, I could feel the emotions starting to soften. I sensed that I needed to tap on something specific, but I still had no clue what that issue was.

Whenever I feel stuck, I like to reach for something to prompt more information. Sometimes it is a deck of cards with reflection questions or notes I have taken in previous tapping sessions. I also have a handy go-to playlist of tap-along videos or use one of the frameworks I have created for my clients and students.

In this case, I pulled out the Feeling and Needs Inventory from the Center For Nonviolent Communication. And what happened next surprised even me.

This week in the podcast I share with you exactly how I used this list to create clarity and allow my tapping practice to move from "I don't know what to focus on" to clarity and relief.

It is one of those processes that is easy to underestimate because of its simplicity.

Even if you aren't stuck emotionally in this moment, you will still feel a profound change from just a round or two of tapping.

I know you are going to love it!
