Good Morning!

Recently I have been spending a lot of time thinking how best to use tapping.

And by this I don't mean focusing on the best or quickest way to find relief, but instead on the outcomes I desire from the tapping I am doing.

I think this is easiest to understand through some examples.

Tapping For Relief: When I checked my mailbox on Sunday I found a very distressing letter that I could not respond to until Monday morning. My anxiety was so great I was having a hard time getting to sleep on Sunday night.

I spent a great deal of time tapping to calm myself down and to recognize that the situation wasn't nearly as bad as my emotional response suggested. I was then able to get myself calmly to sleep.

Tapping For Action: On Tuesday I was worried about some of the phone calls I needed to make. I could easily have tapped to the point where I didn't feel worried but if I had done that I would just have felt better and not particularly motivated to make the calls.

So instead of tapping just to alleviate the discomfort, I also tapped in a way that got me excited about the outcomes of the calls. I didn't just feel better, I felt compelled to take the action I needed to take.

Knowing What To Tap On: Both of these outcomes were perfect for what I wanted to achieve.

In order to see the result we would like from tapping we need to tap on the right things. This week I have a tool which will help you to do just that.

Linda Wood has developed something she calls the Duality-Balancing Tapping Technique which allows you to approach an issue from multiple directions to ensure you achieve the outcome you want from tapping.

I love this easy and practical approach, let me know how it works for you!
