Releasing Fear of Failure With EFT

fear-of-failure2 Fear of failure is one of the subconscious reasons why you could be procrastinating and sabotaging your success. When you are afraid to fail, you live a smaller life with less risk. You stay in your comfort zone but no progress is made in your comfort zone. If you really want to make progress with anything, in this case your Young Living business, you need to release the fear of failure and step out of your comfort zone.

Try the EFT Tapping below to get started shifting your fear of success. You can add in any words or thoughts to the script and change it up as you feel the need.

Tapping on the Karate Point:
Even though I’m afraid to try again because I failed in the past, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.
Even though I don’t feel like trying because I have failed in the past, choose to believe I can do it this time.
Even though I have failed in the past, I choose to focus on success this time.

Start tapping on the eyebrow point and tap any points as you say or think the words below.

Focus on the problem:

I am afraid to try because I failed in the past
I don’t know if I can do it, I have failed before
I don’t want to take a risk
I’m afraid I might fail
What if I fail again?
I’m afraid to step forward
I’m afraid to get too hopeful
What if they say no?
What if it doesn’t work?
All these feelings around failure
All these fears that are holding me back
Making me sabotage my success by procrastinating
I tired of trying and failing.

Shifting to a positive feeling:

I can be successful even if I failed in the past
I know many successful people failed in the beginning
Abraham Lincoln was defeated in 8 elections
Michael Jordan was cut from the high school basketball team
Walt Disney was fired from an newspaper for lacking imagination
All the really successful people have failures in their past
They didn’t let failure stop them
They kept trying and growing
I can do that too
I choose to release that fear of failing
I learn from my mistakes
I am making mistakes and growing
I can believe in my success
I feel safe and confident in my continuing success
I no longer fear making mistakes
Bring it on!
One day I will be talking about my mistakes and how my mistakes paved the way to my success.

EFT To Release Resistance To Change

When you are working toward goals and moving forward with something that can result in big changes in your life, the resistance will often show up. The bigger the goal, the bigger the resistance we can feel. Change can be scary.

What will success bring? What changes will come when we are successful? How will our life change? In an effort to protect us from the scary unknown, our subconscious will put up all kinds of resistance. It feels safer in that comfort zone. The subconscious is always trying to protect you and keep things comfortable.

Sometimes resistance will show up in the form of procrastination. It starts with a negative feeling: fear, feeling a little anxious, maybe a bad mood. We find ourselves getting distracted by other things. When we start building our business we want success but we may find ourselves sabotaging our efforts because we have a subconscious fear of change.

EFT can be a very helpful tool in working through feelings of resistance. Try the EFT session below whenever you feel a little resistance.

Network Marketing Success Is All In Your Head

Your success in network marketing is up to you. Whether you build a full time income or whether you never earn a dime. It’s all up to you and it’s all in your head.

There is a difference between the top earners and the ones who never earn any money in network marketing. The top earners spend a little time every day doing things that will improve their skills and confidence. They read newsletters, books and listen to audios. They keep up with the latest news with their company, what’s working in marketing and things that improve their mindset.

Building skills and mindset affects the way you function every day in your business. It affects the way you carry yourself and the way others see you. It builds confidence. When you have that, you talk with authority and more people listen.

There are things that we all have in our heads that came from past experiences. Some of those things in our head can cause limiting beliefs and mental blocks to success or earning a lot of money. Sometimes people have a ceiling where they can get to a certain level in the leadership ranks or an amount of income and then the limiting beliefs kick in and we can find ourselves sabotaging our efforts.

Procrastination is one of the biggest sabotaging behaviors people get into. Procrastination is pretty much always coming from some underlying fear or limiting belief.

Think about what you want to accomplish in your business. Do you want to supplement income or build a business to the point where you can be full time?

Now look at your daily actions in your business. Are you promoting your business? You should have between 3-5 different marketing methods that you use every day.

If you are promoting your web site, are you checking email and responding to emails and phone calls?

If you are going for days without talking to people about your business or doing any promotion or followup, you have some limiting belief that is holding you back.

EFT is wonderful to help release limiting beliefs. That is why I love supplementing personal development training with EFT. EFT never replaces personal development training. It enhances it.

Personal development is at the root of every successful network marketer. I would be willing to say it is the absolute most important ingredient for success.

Our thinking affects everything. It is crucial that we build our success mindset.

Here is a video I did recently on why we must be ALWAYS improving our success mindset. I have also included an EFT Tapping Session on Belief.

Release Feelings of Guilt In Your Network Marketing Business

Do you ever have feelings of guilt in your network marketing business? Let’s face it, we all do from time to time. Things happen. You get overwhelmed and discouraged. That’s when the procrastination starts. It can become a negative, progress blocking cycle. That’s when the guilt sets in and you start emotionally beating yourself up.

You may feel like you let your leader or mentor down. You had plans to do something with the business but time you start feeling embarrassed because you feel like the upline leader is disappointed in your progress. If this proceeds for any length of time the guilt can grow bigger to the point where you feel stuck and maybe even like giving up.

Let me stop here and tell you that your upline has been there and cares about you and understands that you will have times when your productivity will drop. This happens. Never feel embarrassed. Call your upline and have a mastermind session.

Here are a few things that can cause that niggly guilt feeling:

The list could go on but you get the idea.

Guilt is very destructive for your business. It is a very negative emotion that blocks the Release Guilt abundance energy. You want to be feeling an abundant and prosperous energy when you are conducting your daily business activities, especially prospecting and following up on leads. When you feel guilty you can start feeling depressed and then beating up on yourself emotionally. This can get into a downward spiral.

We all have it from time to time. Whenever you start feeling the guilt, STOP and Forgive yourself. Remember that we all have these feelings sometimes. We all mess up. We all have times when we don’t feel like following up on leads. We all have moments when we are not as communicative as we should be. It is those times we need to pick ourselves up and readjust to get back on track.

It is for those times that I wrote the EFT tapping script below. It’s an EFT script to help you release guilt feelings and help you re-energize.

I like to use Release essential oil blend while tapping on the negative feelings, then shift to any of the more uplifting, motivating oils on the positive section. Put a couple drops on your fingertips and tap tap tap. 🙂

EFT Tapping on Releasing Guilt:

Even though I am feeling so guilty about not ____(following up on leads)_, I deeply and completely love and forgive myself.
Even though I have all this guilt about things I haven’t done for my business, I deeply and completely love and forgive myself.
Even though I am feeling guilt, I choose to forgive myself, release the guilt and move confidently forward.

Simple Steps To Get Unstuck and Stay Motivated

stuck There are times when we feel stuck. It’s a natural thing that we all seem to go through from time to time. It can happen in all kinds of areas where we want to make progress. For example, you want your network marketing business to grow so you know you should be making follow up phone calls, doing marketing and promotion, writing newsletters and blog posts.

Sometimes when building your business you can find yourself feeling stuck wondering which way to go. You have to figure out which ways to market and promote your business. Once you figure out those things, you need to use trial and error to test out what works for you. You may even find that you need to totally change directions. The thing is, you can’t change directions until you get moving. Think of driving a car. The car has to be moving before you can turn in any direction, whether a slight turn or a full turn.

The key to getting unstuck is to just start moving forward. Motivation never starts automatically. It kicks in once you get moving. Even if on some days the steps are small. Just take steps.

I love that quote by Joe Schroeder, “You don’t have to get it right, you just have to get it GOING!” The way to get anywhere is to start from where you are right now, learn and make adjustments as you go. If you don’t start moving towards your goals, you will stay eternally stuck. Even the smallest steps stir more steps forward.

An example used by writers is to just start writing. Don’t worry about what you are writing. Don’t over analyze. Just start pouring out words on a subject. Once you get the thoughts flowing, more ideas come to you.

The same applies to other things. Picking up the phone and calling someone when you are not in the mood can seem like an impossible task. Once you make that first phone call, the mood lifts and the next call gets easier. Exercise is another example. It can be hard to get off the couch and get an exercise session started but once you do, it is easy to keep going. I often trick myself by saying, “I’ll just do 5 minutes worth.” I always stay on for more.

EFT can be a really wonderful tool to help get motivated and get unstuck.

Here’s an EFT Script to help you get motivated:

Apply 1 – 3 drops of Motivation oil on your fingertips, then tap on the Karate Chop Point with the oiled up fingertips. As you are tapping the EFT Points, you will have enough remaining oil to carry to all the other points.
Motivation Essential Oil
While tapping the Karate Chop Point, Repeat 3 Times:

Even though I am feeling stuck and unmotivated,I deeply and completely love and accept myself.

Even though I don’t know what to do , I deeply and completely love and accept myself.

Even though I’m stuck and don’t feel like doing anything, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.

You can add something specific you need to do if you want.
