A Review Of The Tapping World Summit Presentation On Work Productivity And Procrastination

Pamela Bruner's presentation is about productivity and how to overcome procrastination and putting tasks off at your work. Pamela is already a successful businesswoman and already was so when EFT came into her world. Once I heard that at the start of this presentation, my ears perked up. This is obviously someone that knows how to succeed and can genuinely advise us on how to succeed at work.

Causes of wasting time and procrastination in the workplace were discussed. In order to find the cause, Pamela suggests that we ask ourselves what is the downside of doing the task. For example, if you go ahead and make more money, then you may be more successful than your family. Or if you do not know who you will be if you move up to a higher position in work. And a very common worry about finishing projects is fear of criticism, and Pamela gives examples such as fear of finishing your website worrying what people may think.

Another cause of procrastination and lowering of productivity discussed was the need to feel busy. She explained how keeping busy is not necessarily being productive; in other words, that people can be needy of being busy. Pamela also explained that when we are doing a task and allow ourselves to get distracted, it takes 18 minutes to get back into the task. I did not know that before, and it certainly explains a lot. Pamela also discusses the need to do more social media surfing than is needed, emotional eating, compulsive checking of emails, and other unproductive activities that keep people from being more productive at work. Pamela usefully explains how to reduce overwhelm by making a list of tasks and prioritizing them, so that the important ones to your productivity get done.

All the above issues are tappable, of course.

In terms of style of EFT delivery, the interviewer, the lovely Jessica Ortner, asked a very useful question. She asked about Pamela's use of Setup statements that did not stick to the traditional "Even though I have this problem, I deeply love and accept myself" format. Together, they explained to the listener that it was perfectly OK to deviate from the traditional Setup statement. I like that, as sometimes I am doing EFT with clients and they panic when I use anything other than the strictest Setup statement format. This explanation is very helpful to anyone who would go on to use the services of an experienced and skilled EFT practitioner and saves a great deal of worry thinking they have to do it strictly by the book. Jessica also asks about the use of positive phrases in the statements that Pamela uses. Pamela explains that she uses positive statements when the charge has already released somewhat from the situation. She also explains using positives in order to bring forth aspects for healing. This is very important to note, as in my experience, positive statements can be a much gentler way to bring stuff up for release than making a load of negative statements.

And my favorite style discussion in this presentation is this. Pamela explained about how she does EFT on action rather than just tapping on emotions. In other words, considering the action you need to take next and tapping on the blocks in your path to that specific action. This is also great for new tappers who need to tap for moving forward, and it goes for any goal, not just business-related ones. Pamela also recommended speaking our business worries as we tap rather than using a traditional tapping procedure. I like that too.

All in all, this presentation gives great tips on how to be more productive at work and gives an insight to EFT newcomers on how we can tap in alternative ways. It is probably the most succinct and information-packed presentation of this year's Summit.

EFT: Tap Your Way to More Productivity

Use EFT To Tap Into Better Business Habits

Sandi Krakowski wrote a very honest article today that discussed the only way to build a successful business is to treat it like a business. Her motivation for writing this was Donald Trump's statement that in order to clean up this country, it needs to be run like a business. Politics aside (please), the point was that you can't slap a website up online, or purchase a business starter kit, and really call yourself a business. Well, I guess you can call yourself whatever you want, but it's not going to make money unless you spend time building it.

The reason I'm writing this article is because I've heard this message so many times (and is always worth hearing again), but there are a lot of issues around this topic that prevent people from actually taking the steps necessary to turn their business into something profitable.

Typically, people know what they are supposed to do in order to start making money. We can all learn new strategies for list building, sales, communication, etc. But the general "to-dos" still remain consistent.

Not knowing what to do is not the problem. The real problem is actually doing it.

The way we do one thing is the way we do everything. So if you are someone who knows what you're supposed to do, but you still don't do it, you probably have blocks that are preventing you from building your business into a money making machine. If you don't get rid of those blocks on a cellular level, you will always be fighting yourself to make it happen. And the fight against your subconscious mind is always a losing battle.

So the question you need to begin with is not "What do I need to do?" You already know the answer to that. The question that will get you moving into action is, "What am I feeling that is preventing me from doing what I know I need to do?"

The answers that come up are tappable blocks that can be removed very easily with EFT. You may be surprised at what answers you come up with. Here are some of the most common:

I'm not good enough

I don't know enough

There are other people who are better than me

I'm afraid I'll be judged

I'm afraid I'll fail

These fears and thought patterns will stop you in your tracks, preventing you from ever accomplishing any of your business goals. Let's walk through a tapping sequence that you can use to bring down the negative charge:

Set up phrase:

Even though I don't feel like I know enough to make a difference....I deeply and profoundly love and accept myself.

Even though I don't feel like I'm not good enough to put myself out there....I deeply and profoundly love and accept myself.

Even though I think there are so many other people who can do better than I ever could...I deeply and profoundly love and accept myself.

And tapping through the points:

eyebrow: I don't know enough

side of eye: I'm not good enough

under eye: Other people are better than me

under nose: I don't have enough to offer

chin: All the fear that is holding me back

collar bone: these fears are paralyzing me from making a move

under the arm: I'm so afraid to fail

top of the head: all these fears

Do this round several times until you feel the negative emotions start to come down. You'll most likely experience some shifts in thinking too. Just note how your internal pictures change (remember, our minds think in pictures) and tap for anything else that comes up for you.
