So you know how your GPS in your car keeps you on track? You put in your destination and it takes you from your current location to wherever you want to go. If you make a wrong turn, your GPS recalculates your route and gets you back on track. On my GPS, a woman’s voice says “Recalculating.” She never gets an irritated tone. She never says “I told you to go the other way!” She never says “I feel like you’re ignoring me.” She just continually updates, and gets me back on course, eventually getting me to my destination.
My own internal GPS (aka my Sub Conscious Mind), however, isn’t quite so persistent. In fact, unless I go in and reprogram it, my own internal GPS will stop me dead in my tracks. The woman’s voice in my head says things like “Don’t go that way! You might actually get where you say you want to go, and then what?” Or she says “You don’t know enough to do that – you don’t know where you’re going!” Or she distracts me with things like food that is calling me to eat it. Or a movie that needs to be watched. Or a new seminar I need to take. Or a plethora of other distractions. For many, many years, my internal GPS (my Sub Conscious Mind (SCM)) had me way off course. Even though I often told it where I wanted to go, it had outdated operating software, and it kept me from reaching my desired destinations.
The software of our internal GPS (our Sub Conscious Mind) come from messages we’ve gotten since we were very young, or even before we were born. These messages may be personal, or familial, or cultural, or societal. We take them on as our truth, and they become our thoughts and beliefs. And until recently, we didn’t have the technology to easily change our software. Our GPS kept us protected from change, and kept us small and safe. That was important to the survival of the human species for thousands and thousands of years.
Here we are in the 21st Century. If you’re reading this, you don’t have to worry about survival. Food is abundant. It’s not likely you’ll be attacked. It’s time to THRIVE! We live in the most amazing time EVER in human history. We have time and resources and tools for the inner change work that’s required to move us forward in leaps and bounds. You know something is calling you. You want to answer your calling. You want to have a big impact on the world. And yet you find yourself feeling bewildered at your own seeming inability to do what you say you want to do!
It’s not your fault! it’s no one’s fault. It’s your software – it’s out of date. And now we have tapping to help us upgrade our software and help us overcome our own limiting thoughts and beliefs that hold us back. I urge you to learn as much as you can about tapping. Use it every day – especially when you don’t WANT to! Your GPS will tell you NOT to tap – because if you do, your resistance will be reduced or eliminated and change is going to happen much more easily. And until you get really used to this new rapid change, your mind is still going to want you to hold off. You know you want it! Keep tapping!
