In my own life, I practice all the things I talk about to you – my readers and clients. I Tap on my stuff every day – sometimes several times a day. I notice my feelings and consciously shift my thoughts to ones that feel better. I have an Intention list – for 2014 and beyond – that really “draws me outside the edges of what is familiar – beyond my comfort zone.” I have a lot of FUN. I enjoy life – even the failures. I have created a mindset of possibility for myself and others. I practice manifesting every day. I try to find love and forgiveness for myself and others. I allow my teen and adult children to live their lives – with love and encouragement from me. I finally feel authentic.
I haven’t always been this way. I spent many years in the throes of alcoholism and drug addiction – doing everything I could to avoid feeling my feelings. I got sober in 1987, and began a spiritual journey of recovery. For many years (even in recovery) I held on to resentments – old and new. I felt jealousy and envy towards others. I compared myself to just about everyone I met. I continued to act in ways that I thought others wanted me to act and be. I married a man who wasn’t right for me, and who often wasn’t very nice to me. I had four children, and then decided to get divorced. I was angry, bitter, depressed on the inside, and trying to keep it all together on the outside. Oh, if I’d had these tools back then! But each challenge taught me something new about myself and life. I was always curious about human behavior and spirituality. Fast-forward 26 years (and thousands of dollars and hours) – I have found peace and joy and love and authenticity. I live in awe and wonder of the miracles that take place every day in my life.
And I know that YOU don’t have to spend 26 years or thousands of dollars or thousands of hours to find what I’ve found. Tapping can help you leap-frog to the place where you want to be in life. You can do a lot of the work on your own. But you can’t do it all on your own. At some point you’ll need to work with someone else to help you see the stuff you can’t see about yourself. Whether it’s with me or another practitioner, I want this for you. Give yourself the gift of freedom! You deserve it!
Happy New Year!
Helen
