Tapping

Banish Self-sabotage and Stop Procrastination

by Caryl Westmore

Self-sabotage from a gremlin inside you is most often the cause of procrastination and failure to get your dreams into action.

Imagine if you made a leap of faith in mid-life to follow a dream – say to write a book – and found yourself horribly stuck! It happened to Megan, a client of mine. Soon after she turned 40 she was retrenched from her job with a catering company.

So she took her savings and moved to a cottage in the country, telling herself: “At last, I’ve got the chance to fulfill my longing to be a freelance travel/cookery writer while I write my book.”

But three months later, when she called me after hearing me speak about “tapping” on a radio show, she said: “I feel DESPERATE. I’ve got eight unfinished articles on deadline and I’m plagued by procrastination and panic. Help!”

SHE NEEDED TO FIND AND RELEASE THE PART OF HERTHAT WAS HOLDING HER BACK, KEEPING HER STUCK

In any situation where you feel trapped or stuck from taking action – it’s like two horses, pulling in opposite directions – tearing you apart. The horses need to be calmed, soothed and set on their way towards their destination, using their energies to go in the right direction so that they can get to their destination, rather than wasting their energy in hopeless struggle.

I DISCOVERED THE WAY TO RELEASE THIS INNERCONFLICT FOR MEGAN IN MINUTES…

It sounds fast – and easy – and it is…when you KNOW HOW. But it took me a lifetime of frustration and failure – and then seven years of apprenticeship and study with many of the world’s most famous and successful healers and self-help experts… to learn this secret – and why and how it works.

Since early childhood when I witnessed my gentle hardworking mother being emotionally abused by my alcoholic father – I was driven, called, impelled, you could say, to find an answer to why people – especially women – stay “stuck” in situations which squelch their dreams and leave them feeling powerless to change.

Guess what? I myself repeated my mother’s situation until I reached rock-bottom at age 50. I was homeless after a fire, divorced after my 25-year marriage crumbled, and totally broke. Driven by deep despair, I got down on my knees and prayed to my Higher Power/ the Divine, to show me a way to “break free” and live the life I loved – happy and healed from within – a magnet for money and love – and on track with my Life Purpose to help others.

AND THEN I DISCOVERED THE KEYS TO BREAKING FREE…starting with…

DID YOU KNOW THAT MEMORIES AND BELIEFS FROMCHILDHOOD CAN BE RUNNING OR RUINING YOUR LIFENOW?

It doesn’t seem fair that your life should be hijacked or controlled by something said – or done – to you as a child. Yet it is now a proven scientific fact that 95% of what we believe and think originates in our unconscious.

And it’s that self-sabotaging unconscious programming in your “emotional brain” that needs cleaning, clearing and replacing. It’s what I write about and am passionate helping you achieve.

There is nothing more freeing that the liberating moment you have a break-free-aha and move through to the next expansive level of your life.

PERSISTENCE PAYS OFF

by Caryl Westmore

“The ruthless persistence of following a dream,” is how Joe Vitale once spoke about his personal success journey from working on the railroads and being broke and homeless to becoming a bestselling author and multimillionaire.

I relate to him. As a journalist who many years ago committed my life to “uplifting and inspiring” rather than dishing up the sensational and sickening I have had to pursue my dream doggedly through many years of challenge with only the imagined outcome guiding me.

As Winston Churchill once said: “Never, never, never give up.”

You first need the soul seed of desire and inspiration – a clue to your Divine Life Purpose. And after that to keep hot and committed you need Persistence.

It’s about keeping your goal on track like a guided missile.

It’s about breakthroughs and break-free-ahas when you get nudged, supported by forces seen and unseen.

It’s as much about the times you feel like giving up and chucking it in as about the days you are truly “in the flow.”

For me it’s been mainly about cleaning and clearing out the noise and negative patterns keeping me from flying and eventually breaking free. Plus being guided and mentored by others – the authors and teachers I worked alongside to publicize their books and workshops.

Of course, as I learned from Julia Cameron in The Artist’s Way – a brilliant book and 12-week program about releasing your creativity which I have run for groups with astounding results – we often “shadow” those we most aspire to be.

BIRTHING A BOOK

As a journalist I’ve written thousands and thousands of articles and interviews. But nothing can compare with holding the first copies of my book. As I get ready to launch on Amazon in July – my heart is enthralled by my new book as lovingly as a new mother holding her newborn.

Author of “The Power of Persuasion”, Kevin Hogan in a teleseminar with internet marketing guru Rich Schefren, reinforced this feeling of your book being like a precious child. He said “you don’t trash your child because he or she is not performing… so value your book and don’t give up on it…ever!”

I like that.

So don’t ever give up on your book – or dream. Persistence pays off.

THE SHOCKING TRUTH ABOUT PROSPERITY

by Caryl Westmore

1One of the most inspiring authors who changed my life and shifted my  mindset when I was a teenager was Catherine Ponder. I still have her books and often lovingly dip back into them. Here is a wonderful quote which reminds us about the true meaning of riches and prosperity!

“The shocking truth about prosperity is that it is shockingly right instead of shockingly wrong for you to be prosperous. Please note that the word ‘rich’ means having an abundance of good or living a fuller, more satisfying life. Indeed, you are prosperous to the degree that you are experiencing peace, health, happiness and plenty in your world. There are honorable methods that can carry you quickly toward that goal. It is easier to accomplish than you may now think. That, too, is the shocking truth about prosperity.”

CATHERINE PONDER, Dynamic Laws of Prosperity

In my own life I have discovered that feeling good and being in the flow are sure signs of feeling rich and prosperous. It is not about the amount of “money” you are accumulating and attracting…though that is a fundamental given.
But more important and central to the money flow is LIVING THE LIFE YOU LOVE.

Step #1: Cleaning, clearing and releasing glitches and negative programming in your energy system/unconscious… so that…

Step #2 You can Attract and live the Life you Love.

Then you will automatically “be connected” to the Divine – and to your Divine Life Purpose – which for me is the winning ticket this time around!
