Good morning,

Over the last few years I have devoted a lot of time to thinking about why we don't tap more.

My exploration of this issue has led me down many paths. I have considered techniques, approaches, how we are trained, how we document (or don't document) our progress, where we start, and what issues we should tap on, to name just a few.

Every single one of these areas impacts how much we tap, but in my investigation I realized there is one particularly common reason:

We don't know exactly where to start.

"Exactly" is the key word in the sentence above because when we think about tapping, we have a general idea about where to start, otherwise we won't be thinking about tapping.

The real problem lies in our subconscious mind.

The primary job of the subconscious mind is to keep us safe. One of the ways it does this is to ensure we do not waste our time and energy on something that isn't useful.

The logic goes that if you waste time on something that is trivial or not useful, when real danger shows up you risk not having sufficient energy to keep yourself safe in your time of need.

If we lack a clear entry point to our tapping, we run into resistance from the subconscious mind because it thinks we are wasting our time.

This throws up two problems. First, we don't tap as much as we would like. Second, we then beat ourselves up for not tapping more because there isn't an obvious reason why we didn't tap.

In this week's podcast I share a simple two-step process that will take you less than 45 seconds. Try it out to get more out of each round of tapping and to help you to tap more.

I also use this approach with tools other than tapping because it has many applications.

I know you will love it.

PS: In the last week, I have received a number of requests for tapping to feel peace in a time of turmoil. Last March, I hosted a live stream where we did loads of tapping for exactly this issue. You can tap along here: https://www.youtube.com/live/0dfI05GjFjk
