I am not a counselor.\u00a0 I\u2019m an energy coach, so read this\u00a0as an energy point of view.\u00a0 When people tell me that they\u00a0feel like they have ADD, I begin looking for what happened early on in their life.\u00a0 Where might there be an\u00a0energy link\u00a0that\u00a0trained them to think that postponing getting something done\u00a0could avoid pain, or where did they see someone else run from this to that without completion, or what might’ve taught them that they had to\u00a0jump or else…<\/p>\n

If you were criticized often as a child, or it felt like you had to deflect \u201cbullets\u201d all the time, you might have developed a pattern of trying to outrun upsetting or \u201cdangerous\u201d outcomes!\u00a0 You might actually be triggering a PTSD response more than an attention deficit response.\u00a0 You might have also just downloaded a modeled pattern.<\/p>\n

Does this sound like you?\u00a0 I\u2019m always criticized.\u00a0 I get so anxious and overwhelmed.\u00a0 I can\u2019t do anything right.\u00a0 I\u2019m not god enough.\u00a0 They are always yelling at me.\u00a0 Somebody always wants something from me.\u00a0 If I get this done, then I\u00a0expect I will\u00a0get criticized.\u00a0 If I don\u2019t get it done, then at least I can say I\u2019m not done with it yet and that might feel safer.\u00a0 I\u2019m a people pleaser.\u00a0 That\u2019s how I learned to be safe and it works for me.\u00a0 Really? \u00a0Sometimes putting everyone else first became a child\u2019s way to stay safe, to cope or stay out of trouble.<\/p>\n

Can you unlearn that pattern so that your needs are met without fear?\u00a0 Can you really put yourself first without being selfish?\u00a0 Can you stop running in an \u201cADD\u201d mode long enough to evaluate whether you like the way you respond or not?<\/p>\n

You might\u2019ve developed your scattered pattern from a belief that you SHOULD always respond to everyone\u2019s needs first because that\u2019s what your parent or mentor did.\u00a0 This becomes an especially important trait and pattern when you really admire and respect the mentor you watched and modeled.\u00a0 That doesn\u2019t mean it is healthy or in your best interest to continue.\u00a0 It\u2019s something learned and if it feels good and doesn\u2019t cause your life to spin, or feel out of control, then you might be in balance with it.<\/p>\n

I watch so many clients get wrapped up responding to everything and everyone.\u00a0 They feel worn out because they never realized what is driving their behavior or that it\u2019s even possible to change it.\u00a0 If you had a \u201cdictator\u201d for a parent or caregiver, you might\u2019ve learned to jump to respond. Then, as an adult, you might have \u201cattracted\u201d dictator type bosses who bully you\u2014because it\u2019s a subconscious pattern.\u00a0 You might feel powerless and confused, because you don\u2019t realize you can release that energy from your brain, body, and subconscious mind.<\/p>\n

How do I do THAT, you ask?\u00a0 You can get some help from a tapping coach like me.\u00a0 Patterns, loops, and emotions can be released but many times you need help to do that.\u00a0 If you\u2019ve developed a pattern, you are probably so \u201cin it\u201d, that you might need help even if you already know tapping.<\/p>\n

Imagine what it would be like to feel calm and feel that your choices are honored and respected. Imagine feeling safe, free, and able to decide what you truly want instead of automatically responding.\u00a0 If you\u2019ve seldom experience that feeling of choice, then you are probably trying to outrun your energy, and you don\u2019t even know it!<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the first step to take if you are new to tapping or need some help?\u00a0 I have a 38 minute audio program that comes complete with tapping instructions that could be a great first step!\u00a0 I discuss reasons why we learn to take a backseat, and \u201cHow To Put Yourself First\u201d<\/a>, which leads to fulfillment and empowerment.\u00a0 After some brief explanations, I guide you through some tapping segments to shake up and release some unconscious beliefs, emotions, and patterns.\u00a0 In just a skootch over a \u00bd hour, you can begin to feel how and why you do what you do, and how to change your energy, that will bring more peace into your life!\u00a0 You can tap on your way to work or when you have time to listen and tap along.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t have \u00bd hour to spend on improving your life, oh dear, that\u2019s another problem!\u00a0 Take back your life and start something different.\u00a0 I\u2019ve seen calm relief come to those who \u201cthought\u201d they had ADD when it turns out that they had an anxiety loop that just needed to be released!\u00a0 Isn\u2019t that comforting???\u00a0 Ahhhh\u2026<\/p>\n
