Get Over Your Fear Of Making Decisions! (VIDEO)

If we don't move through the fear of making decisions, we don't move, period. The ironic thing is that if you refuse to make a decision, you've made a decision -- to either stay stuck or to put your fate in someone else's hands.

It's been said that nothing happens until a decision is made... but that can be a terrifying thing to some. The word "decision" literally means "cutting off" -- letting go of the other options -- and doing so can bring up all kinds of fear. But if we don't move through that fear, we don't move, period.

The ironic thing is that if you refuse to make a decision, you've made a decision -- to either stay stuck or to put your fate in someone else's hands. You deserve better than that. Tapping can help you make decisions with more confidence: confidence that you are either making the right choice, or that you will be able to handle the consequences. As Teddy Roosevelt said, "In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing."

Tapping right now may be the right thing. At the very least, it's better than doing nothing.

If you are new to tapping, it will be beneficial to you to also watch the first episode in the "Tap Out Your Fears" series, which explains the basics of EFT. Click here.

As with any of my tapping videos, this is an abbreviated process for releasing fear. Some folks may find their fear dissolve after just one tapping session, but for others, it will take some repetition, bringing the discomfort down little by little each time. (Still others may uncover specific issues that are best addressed directly with a wellness practitioner.) In any event, this brief video should help at least take the edge off the discomfort, freeing you up to enjoy life much more. Let us know how it helped you!

Tapping can sometimes bring up long-buried emotions, which is why I always ask folks to take full responsibility for their own well-being before tapping. For more information about that, please read this disclaimer.

Until next time, feel free to tap along with any of the many videos I have on YouTube or the many recordings I have at www.TapToFeelGood.com.
