Update on changing one's actions

Imagine that you want to do something differently. You find it very hard, maybe impossible. What can you do in that situation?
Well, my upcoming workshop is going to be about that very issue. The first step is to ask yourself what kind of feelings may be behind your difficulty. Imagine that what comes up is "helplessness" associated with feeling like a helpless child. What next? Ask your intuition where that helplessness may be contained within your body and, on a scale of 1 to 10, which number (with 10 being the highest) represents your experience of resistance associated with the helplessness. Then you tap at that spot, and the next spot suggested by your intuition, and you ask your intuition for more spots (first) and to be alert for a time when the number representing your resistance of the moment has gone down. For example, if your initial resistance associated with the helplessness is tied to the number 6, your intuition just points out different spots to tap or to press until eventually the number that comes up when you ask yourself that question is less than a 6, perhaps a 4. Keep on with this cycle (tap or press, ask for the new number) until eventually the number that comes up is a zero. I will help folks to do this in my upcoming workshop. To get one free look at this go to www.emofree.com. You can take a look at a free in-depth definition of how this works. My own way of doing this work is far simpler than Mr. Craig's, but I like the fact that many people have used his work to help others and make money doing so:) Once you come to a zero, use Patricia Carrington's "releasing" work to let go of the remaining "hangover" (my term) of emotionality. This also is covered in my upcoming workshop. If you still find it very hard to act, ask yourself if another feeling could be forming resistance to the action. Do the whole cycle again--as many times as new feelings pop up. I tend to feel like "Enough" after I go through this process 3-5 times. It takes as much as 5 minutes. Now ask yourself, on a scale of 1-10, how much resistance is left within you. If the answer is 5 or above, you have more work to do. If the answer is 4 or less, then you have to just *let* the impetus to act take hold of you. My experience is that, at this point, action takes place without supreme effort, almost automatically. I haven't yet tested this process on many different issues of mine, but I'm writing about it here to inspire those of you who have some psychological background to experiment with the process I laid out. Who knows? Maybe you may not even need my workshop!:)
