C. Day 7: Ritual and Repetition Tapping Meditation ~ Peace & Patience
This is a great meditation to use when you’re struggling to feel peace around the pace of change and transformation. Tap and feel more at peace with how, and how quickly, you are your life are transforming.
Look at how the body communicates with us, and use Tapping to begin tuning in to what it’s saying.
We also look at limiting beliefs about the body and begin to practice cultivating positive beliefs and emotions about the body.
A. Day 6 Challenge: Tuning in to the Body
Bring your body into your journey. From today onward, open to the possibility of attuning to your body. Whenever possible, listen and notice what your body is saying.
Practice “talking to” your body and listen to what it’s saying. Notice what your body is saying, to be a little more willing to hear its messages.
In the morning or at bedtime, before you begin tapping, check in with your body. Mentally scan your body and simply notice what you feel.
This journey isn’t actually about becoming your greatest self. This journey will guide you in ways that allow you to shed the layers of “stuff” that have kept you from accessing your greatest self. Because, the truth is, you already are your greatest self.
Through this journey, you’ll manifest your greatest self by clearing and releasing those layers of “stuff” that are keeping your greatest self stuck deep down inside.
And you’re making great progress, so keep it up!

A. Day 4 Challenge: Telling Your Truth
Congratulations on beginning to tell your truth! Let’s keep that momentum going.
Starting today, select just One part of your life where you’d like to make progress. You can include the one area of your life you just tapped on, or not, as long as you’re focusing on just One Area of your life.
Once per day, practice telling yourself the truth about that area of your life. It can be as simple as saying, “I feel discouraged about my health and don’t think it will ever improve,” or “My finances are a mess, and I’m ready to give up on them”.
Keep in mind that it’s normal to fear and/or resist your truth(s). Our truths can get buried over time, and excavating them may take time and patience. If this process feels overwhelming at any point, pause to tap on those feelings of overwhelm. If there are bigger truths that feel like too much, put them aside or seek out a certified EFT practitioner to guide you.
You may also want to turn to the “All Is Well” Tapping Meditation script, which is at the end of the Appendix on page 308. Tap through it at any time to regain a sense of safety and calm.
Remember, there’s no need to pressure yourself to “fix” anything. Your goal here is to get comfortable with telling the truth.
Just see your truth, tell it and accept it, and then watch, over time, as it transforms.
Complete the Day 4 Tapping Meditation: Accepting Your Truth before moving forward. You’ll find it on page 254 of the Appendix.

A. Day 2 Challenge: Redirecting Your Brain
So how do we actually bring positivity practice into our lives?
On a day-to-day, week-to-week basis, how can we reprogram our brains to recognize and accept positivity without becoming so detached from our surroundings that, like Thor, we’re prematurely devoured?
Start by simply Noticing when you default to the negative.
Start with the little things, like that email or text that feels unclear. Your brain’s natural bias will lead you to assume the worse. Your brain’s innate negativity bias will Support you in feeling judged, accused, and so on.
Starting today, make a point of simply noticing when your brain’s “negativity bias” is being activated.
Remember, it’s a hardwired response that we all experience, so there’s no need to blame or shame yourself for it. Don’t stress or worry about it. Just notice it.
And once you see your brain’s negativity bias at work, pause and ask yourself:
Could this be my brain’s negativity bias talking?
That’s it – just notice it, for now, say hello, maybe introduce yourself, and we’ll use that awareness to build from in the coming days.
Make sure to take time to use the Day 2 Tapping Meditation: Turning Toward the Positive to being reorienting your primitive brain to notice and value the positive. You’ll find it on page 248 of the Appendix.
You’re beginning to create an important foundation for choosing peace!

By clearing out the stress, fear, and other negative emotions that we all naturally experience, you can more quickly clear that mental and emotional “dirt” and create more space for authentic positivity to grow and thrive.
Every morning, notice if you’re beginning your day from a place of peace or a place of panic. Whether it’s in your first five minutes or your first hour, make a point of pausing to notice where you are mentally, and how you’re feeling emotionally as well as physically.
Then take 5 minutes to tap on releasing any panic you’re feeling.
As the day progress, see how this simple process changes your experience. Do you feel calmer? Do you feel more patient with your kids? More Productive? Less anxious as you’re sitting in morning traffic? Are you having creative ideas that might turn around your financial situation? Are you making healthier food choices? Notice these shifts in your daily experience.
