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.

The start of a new year feels like the perfect time to reset and refocus.

This often takes the form of New Year's resolutions. There is a great power in making a clear statement about what you want and why you want it.

The problem is (and I'm sure you have experienced this yourself), simply making a resolution does not guarantee success. That's why the first Friday of January is often referred to as Quitter's Day because it is when most people ditch their resolutions.

Making the decision for a fresh start is not the problem. Thinking a resolution is enough is the problem.

To achieve positive change in the new year we need a structure that supports our growth and clears any emotional resistance in the way of our goals.

This week in the podcast I share a simple process that will shift you from toothless New Year's resolutions into creating meaningful change.

Listen to learn how to create a compelling goal that you can buy into emotionally AND a simple process to help you to tap for all the resistance that comes up.

Ten minutes of tapping a day will create a whole new world for you.
