Tap Into Empowerment

We were all told at some point or another – “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.”  Well I, for one, fail at that frequently! Call it my sense of humor, blame it on the things I notice, the sarcasm that drips out of me, or just that sometimes I just don’t feel like being nice (or that person doesn’t deserve nice!) And the same goes for positivity…it isn’t always the first thing to come to mind and we feel it should.

Except when we’re tapping – because EFT begs us to get right down to the nitty gritty of our most ugly complaints, emotions, and hurts. Not only does EFT encourage me to complain and be specific about it, EFT also doesn’t mind if I use those horrible four-letter words that shock people if I say them aloud (I swear, the reaction is almost like when my four year old nonchalantly uses them, like when he innocently informed me, “You scared the hell out of me” and I was surprised and amused).

So as I’ve been at this business thing for several weeks now, and while I love UnTapU for the tapping and helping people, I’m going to just say right now, my own personal tapping has been on this wonderfully far-reaching, convenient, fantastically free method of communicating that we call Social Media – because it’s overwhelming, anxiety provoking, pressure-causing, confusing, illogical, frustrating, and a total pain in the neck, head, a$$ and anywhere else it can cause pain.

But I’m tapping to learn all these new, foreign-to-me things easier (cause my computer is meant for writing, researching and sometimes music or movies, not website building, page development, tweeting, posting, and blogging!), to accept it all as part of growing UnTapU. I’m tapping to feel less anxious about the tone, time of day, content, and reach of every post, blog and picture. I’m releasing my tension, frustrations, and yes, even straight up anger about the process and how I simply want to use EFT to help people but am learning more about all this stuff instead. I’m tapping to sleep better, to feel content in whatever progress is made each day, and stay afloat in a sea of overwhelm that threatens to drown me.

And at the end of each day (whenever it may end!) I find I’ve accomplished something towards any number of goals I have. Now you can visit UnTapU or like us on Facebook – which couldn’t have happened at the end of summer. I have discovered ways to use pictures so I’m not breaking any laws and find quotes that bring inspiration. And now, I’ve joined the masses in the Twitter world (@TapIntoYou), to bring UnTapU into today’s version of the modern world almost completely.  So EFT has worked to strengthen my motivation when a year ago I would have given up at GoDaddy’s BS website builder or balked at the idea that I’d stick to anything, let along blogging, for weeks – and please don’t even let me start on how I’ve completely avoided even the idea of every joining yet another social media thingy like Twitter.

I can’t guarantee I’ll be positive, though I love the notion and use it as much as I can in my own human existence. But from what I’ve seen, EFT has me exercising more (even smiling to my music and enjoying the workout!), eating better, laughing more, sleeping better (shut up, it’s not really 3am in my currently inspired world!), more motivated, less anxious/tense, and altogether more confident and positive about not only my personal life, but also the success and future of UnTapU.

So let me ask you all, because I’m always up for new ideas, What’s working that well for you? EFT’s like a massage and counseling session all rolled into one fast moving technique that’s literally constantly at your own fingertips…I can’t think of anything to be quiet about there 😉
