If you are tapping, it almost always means you are focusing on something negative, like challenging emotions, physical pain, difficult times from your past, or limiting beliefs.

This makes a lot of sense because tapping is a powerful tool for bringing about change and transformation.

But just because tapping is great at responding to life's difficulties does not mean it's the only way to tap. Tapping for celebration is another great use for tapping that most of us miss.

As we celebrate seventeen years of the Tapping Q&A Podcast this week, I share with you why you are missing out if you are not tapping while celebrating.

The podcast covers how tapping for celebration:

• Accelerates your healing
• Encourages you to tap more
• Changes the way you feel in the moment beyond just relieving pain or discomfort

You may not have experienced this type of tapping before, but after this episode, you will want to use it much more often!

When most of us first learned tapping we were taught to be "as specific as possible" when coming up with tapping phrases. This is sound advice, which is backed up by scientific research.

But your success with tapping relies on more than just the words you say and what you focus on when you are tapping. How you feel in the moment has just as much impact on your tapping success.

And when I say "how you feel" I don't mean the emotions you are feeling in the moment that you are tapping on. Rather, I am referring to every part of your resource state.

Your resource state includes whether you are tired or rested, if you are sick, if you are in a quiet place where you can focus, if you are well hydrated, and when you last ate, to name just a few.

It is something that most tappers miss and failing to take your resource state into account when you are tapping could be setting you up for disappointment and frustration.

This week in the podcast we explore:

• How to assess your resource before you start to tap
• How to create realistic expectations for your tapping
• How to improve your resource state in the moment so you can get more out of your tapping

Once you understand how your resource state impacts your tapping, it will be easy for you to transform both your expectations and your resource state.

One of the most powerful tools in the healing and transformational tool box is having clear goals.

This is true in big picture ways, such as what I would like to achieve this year, and small picture ways, such as what I would like to get out of this next round of tapping.

I believe in this idea so deeply that in my Tapping Mastery Blueprint I teach the first thing you should do before starting to tap is to ask yourself the question "What is the goal of this round of tapping?"

Although goals are powerful, sometimes they can get in the way of your healing and transformation. This happens when your goals are too big for the moment. Too much pressure and expectation can become measuring sticks for failing, killing off your motivation.

This week in the podcast I share:

• How goals and expectations can hinder our progress
• How to spot when this is happening to you
• How to tap to release feelings of frustration and failure

This is not about radically transforming your tapping goals, but how to recalibrate them in such a way that you tap more and get more out of each round of tapping.
