Friday Taps: "What if it goes better than I expect?"

In today’s tapping session, we’re exploring a different way to respond to fear about the future. The reason most of us get stuck in worry and overthinking is that we don’t feel safe in the moment. Today, we’ll learn how to help our body and mind feel grounded, secure, and ready to have faith in where we’re going—no matter what uncertainty is in front of us.This session is designed to help you meet fear with curiosity, release the tension it creates, and practice responding to it instead of being ruled by it. By the end, you’ll have a template to use anytime your mind spirals into “what if” thinking.Who This Session is For* Anyone chasing something important but feeling stuck or uncertain* People worried about the future or caught in “what if” spirals* Anyone facing change or life transitions* Those who want to respond to fear instead of letting it control them* Anyone seeking more ease and confidence when taking actionHow to Prepare* Bring to mind your biggest uncertainty.* Rate your anxiety about it on a 0–10 scale, with 0 being totally calm and 10 being “this keeps me up at night.”* Stay present with your body as we tap. Notice any sensations, shifts, or emotions.Housekeeping:* Hydrate before and/or after the session* Somatic responses are great signs—burping, yawning, crying, shaking—all normal* If you’d like a private 1:1 tapping session, you can check availability and book hereThe EFT Script:Just tap where I tap, stay present, and repeat after me. I want you to as you say these statements, notice yourself. Notice your body.Setup Statement (Karate Chop) Repeat 3x:“Even though I keep imagining things won’t work out, and I feel anxious and tense about the future, I deeply and completely love and accept myself and how I feel right now.”Round 1* I keep thinking it might not work out.* My mind jumps straight to the worst-case.* I feel that worry hanging over me.* What if it all falls apart?* I notice the fear creeping in.* My thoughts just keep spinning.* I feel stuck in this doubt.* I can’t stop imagining problems.* I don’t really trust that it’ll be okay.* This fear feels heavy.* I wish I could just feel more certain.* My mind keeps racing.* It’s okay that I’m feeling this right now.Round 2* It’s okay to not know what’s coming.* I don’t have to control every little thing.* I can take a breath and let a bit of tension go.* I can just be here for a moment.* I can notice the fear without judging it.* I’m open to feeling even a tiny bit of ease.* I can let myself stop trying so hard.* Because I can handle whatever comes next.* I don’t need to have all the answers right now.* I can step back and just notice what’s happening.* I can soften a little in my body.* I can give myself permission to pause when the fear gets loud.* I notice that I am safe here, in this moment.Round 3* Even though it’s hard to imagine, I can let a little hope in.* I can picture things going okay, even if just a bit.* I can notice a tiny flicker of possibility.* I can give myself permission to imagine things working out.* I trust I can handle whatever shows up.* Just thinking about it doesn’t have to feel overwhelming.* I can allow a little relief in as I notice small wins.* I can welcome good things, slowly and gently.* I can be open to surprises in my favor, no matter how big or small.* Even if it’s tricky, I can let myself feel some excitement.* I can celebrate progress, even the smallest steps.* I can enjoy thinking about things turning out well.* I am ready and willing to see how good things can get.Take a slow, deep breath in and let it all go. Just notice how you’re feeling. Celebrate any noticeable ease you feel now. If you’re super relaxed, that’s a damn good sign you’ve moved some energy.Notice where you are on that intensity rating now, too? Did we move it a bit closer to that 0 mark? Be patient with yourself wherever you are. If you felt things moving but needed more time with this session, repeat it with the replay once it’s up today.And reach out to me to tell me about your experience with today’s tapping. I’d love to hear about your breakthroughs and celebrate both big and small wins with you.I’ll leave you with this to contemplate this week:What if all I need to do to let the good stuff in is to feel safe in this moment? And the next time you notice the fear spike, create that safety in the moment by tapping or even just breathing if you can’t tap right away.We can continue this conversation in a private tapping session if you’d like. That’s where we can really explore that fear, understand it, and finally let it go. Your creative freedom, your inspiration, your clarity…it’s all on the other side of that feeling being truly loved and metabolized.I love you, and I’ll see you next Friday for another live tapping session.P.S. We’re doing a live group tapping session in the first-ever monthly Come As You Are tapping circle on April 28th at 6 pm EST. It’s free.
