Good afternoon,

"Even as I was saying yes, I knew it was a mistake!"

That is what one of my clients told me a few weeks ago. Her brother had asked her to do something she knew she didn't want to, and she said yes anyway.

This is a common problem that comes with being a natural helper. You can move from a natural giftedness as a giving and helpful person, to being the person everyone expects to solve all the problems all of the time. And what is worse is that you always say yes!

There are two major consequences to this pattern of behavior. The first and most obvious one is that you are inundated with requests (or even demands) to help your friends, family and colleagues.

The second struggle is subtle and more insidious. Because you are a natural helper, you have received positive reinforcement your whole life for taking on that identity. Subconsciously, you believe that your worth is inextricably bound to your role as a helper. Your value is equal to the amount of help you provide. Connection and belonging are only possible if you are taking care of others.

When this happens, your time, attention, self-worth, and identity are wrapped up in being someone who helps others and it can feel impossible to create healthy boundaries.

You may have tried to create boundaries in the past, only to find that they soon collapsed around you.

Creating healthy boundaries is not an all-or-nothing proposition. Boundaries are not walls but filters to allow through only what is helpful and healthy for you. Both of those are based on context.

If you are feeling under the weather, talking about a sensitive subject, or engaging with someone you do not fully trust, you will need a stronger filter.

This is exactly the kind of nuance my new book 365 Tapping Lessons: Gentle Shifts to Transform How You Heal is designed to teach. We are not aiming for dramatic overhauls, but gentle daily recalibrations that change how you show up in the moments that matter. Some days the lesson is about boundaries. Some days it is about the fear underneath them. The lessons are always about the patterns that keep you stuck.

The book provides one focused tapping lesson per day. One shift. You read a short lesson, you tap on it, and you move on with your day. You are not trying to build boundaries in a single heroic effort. You are allowing them to grow, one lesson at a time, so that the next time someone you love asks for something you choose not to give, saying no feels like taking care of yourself instead of letting them down

I also want to give you something to help you specifically with what we have been talking about today. If you pre-order 365 Tapping Lessons before April 13th, you will receive a digital copy of 90 Days of Tapping for Healthy Boundaries.

Everyone who pre-orders before April 13th also receives the Tapping Enhancement Bundle, a collection of tools designed to support you whenever you need them. You do not need to use them on day one. They will be there for you when you are ready.

You don't have to use all of this at once. Start with the book, work through one lesson a day, and that's enough.

This is one of those struggles that nearly everyone in the tapping community shares, even though they rarely talk about it.

Pre-order the book for $28 (shipping included worldwide) before April 13th, and you will receive both bonuses.

I can't wait to get the book into your hands!
