Seeing others succeed can be a powerful source of inspiration. Once we know something is possible for others, then it also becomes possible for us.

Take the sub-four-minute mile for example. At one point, it was thought impossible for a human to run a mile in less than four minutes and that pushing so hard would cause the runner's heart to explode.

On May 6th, 1954 Roger Bannister was the first person to run a sub-four-minute mile. Less than six weeks later John Landy not only ran a sub-four-minute mile, he beat Bannister's time.

Something went from being impossible, to being done, to having other people doing it.

While it can be encouraging to see others enjoy success, sometimes that becomes a tool for us to beat ourselves up emotionally.

We see that we are working as hard, if not harder, than others and yet we are not having success.

This can lead us to question our effort, our ability, or whether success is even possible for us. Other people's success just highlights our own failure and we feel defeated rather than encouraged.

This week in the podcast we tap for those times where we feel we have failed because we aren't having the same success as those we see around us.

If you have ever felt like you are working as hard (if not harder) as the people around you and there must be something wrong with you because you are not getting the results you want, then this week's podcast was recorded just for you.

One of the most common teachings in healing and personal transformation is the value and importance of gratitude.

So much so that the idea of establishing a "gratitude practice" for yourself feels commonplace.

The power of experiencing thankfulness and gratitude is unquestionably powerful. It can impact the way we feel in the moment and it can transform the way we act.

The problem is that most people don't talk about the dark side of practising gratitude. To be clear, I am not saying there is an issue with the feeling of gratitude, but instead that establishing a regular gratitude practice can bring up emotional distress that gets in the way of healing and transformation.

This week in the podcast I share the hidden pitfalls of a gratitude practice and how you can move yours from feeling like a chore to something that nurtures your healing and growth.

One of the most common reasons people do not tap more is because they don't know where to start. Feeling uncertain produces a subconscious hesitancy because our subconscious is worried that we will waste time and energy going in the wrong direction.

This isn't a conscious thought, but a background resistance that creates two problems.

First, we don't tap as often as we would like. Second, we then beat ourselves up for not tapping because there is no clear and obvious reason why we aren't tapping.

This week in the podcast I share with you a simple two-step process that will take you less than 45 seconds. Try it out to get more out of each round of tapping and to help you to tap more.

The process will:

• create focus for the round of tapping
• provide guidance on what to tap on next
• show you when you are done
• guide you in planning for future tapping rounds

This is a transformative process and I feel confident that once you see its power, you will use it every time you tap in the future.
