Emotional Freedom for All

by Rick ~ ThrivingNow

Emotional Freedom means we have sufficient safety, respect, and skill to stay present and engaged with life… whatever is happening… without reacting from our primitive brain with fight, flight, or freeze. And right now such freedom is rare… as rare as taking a deep breath free of pollution… or having a connection with others where you really feel like your unfiltered Authentic Self. You're invited to explore with me and our community how to make emotional freedom a core experience at home, at work, and in the world we all share. I'm Rick Wilkes, Emotional Freedom Coach at Thriving Now.

  1. Eating Your Emotions

    Do you find yourself eating when you didn't mean to? Eating things you didn't intend to? What if you learned to cover-up and bury emotions with food? In this free video workshop, we use Tapping to release the compulsive need for food to comfort, stuff down, and bury when we feel powerful...

  2. Instead of Fixing… Allowing

    The unseen, inner intelligence that keeps our heart beating is the same intelligence that can restore our health-even if that restoration will take a miracle. But this is not an intelligence that can be forced. It defies our attempts to "fix" and cut corners. In the years that I've observed the...

  3. Spiritual Growth with EFT

    I was invited to write the chapter on Spiritual Growth with EFT for the book, Freedom at Your Fingertips. As a special bonus for you, here is a PDF of that chapter along with an audio recording of me reading the book and doing the tapping sequences.

  4. Don’t Settle for Just Feeling Fine

    I spent a lot of years answering the greeting, “How are you doing?” with “fine"—when I wasn't. I was dying.

  5. Resolved: I Choose To Feel Good!

    So often when we set life goals or make resolutions, they are around either Big Things We Want or Big Things We Must FIX. I propose you join me in a different kind of personal FOCUS: I Choose To Feel Good!

  6. NO! You Can’t Make Me!

    When we demonstrate our own personal power to resist and say NO, we feel in control. And that feels good. Yet, sometimes we resist that which is our own stated best interest. We say NO to ourselves! We say NO to our own positive choices.

  7. Grounding Exercises – Regain Your Balance and Composure

    (FREE Audio) When we start reconnecting with the body, sometimes we can find triggers that feel overwhelming. Here are some techniques that help us regain some balance and regroup. This audio covers what it means to be grounded along with some basic grounding techniques.

  8. 50% of Everything You Do Isn’t As Good… As The Other Half

    50% of everything you do... isn't as good as the other half. The first time I heard this, it was like a punch in the gut. Oh no, it's true. Half of everything I do isn't any good. Arrgh! And then I had to smile because...

  9. Savoring Simple Uplifts

    Are you needing an uplift? A simple uplift is the type of thing that is available, I believe, to anyone anywhere. Simple says that it doesn't have to be Big. It doesn't have to be complicated. All the conditions don't have to be perfect. And it can still be savored and give us a pleasurable boost.

  10. Pliable… or Playable?

    We're humans. We were born pliable. We adapt to different climates. Cold and warm, scary or pleasant weather. Cold and warm, scary or pleasant people. We were also born playable. We're susceptible to being manipulated by others and by our culture. And there is a question we can ask to help us not...

  11. Allowing… Patient Presence

    Allowing… it's different than waiting. How can we be with "what isn't YET" and still feel at ease? Patient Presence.

  12. This Fresh NOW

    What does This Fresh NOW offer us? If we let go of what was intended, what might arise Fresh Now?

  13. In These TRYing Times… What Shall We TRY?

    How might each of us individually re-fashion our efforts… and life flow… to bring more emotional strength and resilience? What as a community can we TRY during these times that supports the emotional well-being of at least a few other people, both inside and outside our home?

  14. When to KISS – Keep It Super Simple

    It’s REALLY okay right now to Keep It Super Simple… wherever you can. And I know that can be REALLY hard! My brain makes anything complex without me even trying! I include three super simple tips.

  15. Spread Ideas That Matter

    Ideas spread. Virally even. The specific ideas we want to help craft and co-create our culture going forward need conscious spreading AND cultivation. I invite you today… and for the rest of our days… Spread Ideas That Matter. After all… We’re In This Together.

  16. Amidst the Fear, Your Heart Matters

    During this global spreading of coronavirus (COVID-19) and all the fear and uncertainty and panic that comes along with it, the way you show up for your heart and with your heart will make a difference. Perhaps ALL the difference. Please do tend to your heart. Feel its feels. Share its truths and...

  17. I Need a Pause Button in the Center of My Forehead

    Have you ever found yourself in an argument you didn’t want? One where whether you were “winning” or “losing” it was damaging the relationship. What typically happens? The battle keeps going, of course! Wouldn’t it be great if we could press a big PAUSE button? But where’s the pause button when…

  18. From Strengths – Weaknesses to Gifts + Gaps

    What do we call it when we can’t do what some other human can? We call it a WEAKNESS. It’s also considered a defect, a flaw, a deficiency, a fault, and an imperfection. Or it’s a failing, shortcoming, inadequacy, lack, weak spot, limitation, blemish, disadvantage, and even a failure. What if...

  19. Is It Really Your Fault?

    Tender-hearted people often carry the scars and bruises from blaming and shaming, especially from “friends” and “loved ones” and “authorities.” Fault-finding warps our sense of what is ours and what is theirs and what is the Divine’s. We end up with an Inner Critic instead of an Inner Buddy. And...

  20. The Heart of the Circle

    Primal hierarchy is embedded in our culture and our brains. Rather than seeking status and power and control over others (and protecting and avoiding people who want to boss us around), what happens when we experience the “shared heart” of a well-tuned circle… where people join their power WITH...

  21. Lemon Trees Need More Than Likes

    Consider the possibility that an artist who you would hate to see quit is needing more emotional nourishment. Like lemon trees, they need more that social media Likes to be thriving right now. Are you willing to find out what would actually be helpful to them? It’s a potent and worthy way to make...

  22. The Boy with the French Braids

    “Stick and Stones will break my bones, but Names will never hurt me!” Such utter crap. When we’re not safe, we mal-adapt—we're forced to just survive. But mal-adapting shuts down imagination, generosity, and authentic kindness and respect. You’re invited to help change the emotional world for...

  23. There’s Poop in the Soup

    Obligation… it’s like poop in the emotional soup. How often do you feel trapped by obligation? Could devotion and healthy boundaries bring better emotional hygiene to your world?

  24. Magic in Co-Regulation

    Co-regulation connects us together. Indeed, the feeling of Togetherness comes alive when we’re co-regulating. It is nourishing magic for the soul. Includes a 3-minute co-regulation exercise you can do on your own.

  25. Stress Relief in We-Space

    Consider that the most potent value of stress relief isn't just for your individual body, mind, and spirit – your me-space – but for the We-Space… the space we share. And it doesn't have to take more than 11 seconds.

  26. Be an Emotional World Environmentalist

    How might our Emotional World clean-up and detox if more of us identified as Environmentalists? What does that even mean? I hope you'll listen and join us.
