Using EFT to Overcome Procrastination and Sabotage In Your Business

Procrastination is a problem for many network marketers. Do you find yourself procrastinating when you know you have things that you would like to be doing that will grow your business faster? We all do it from time to time but if it becomes a regular pattern, it is very difficult to make real progress in anything, whether it is our Young Living business, our fitness goals or any other goal we are working toward.

snoozing-on-a-desk Procrastination is caused by our subconscious fears. Those fears cause us to sabotage our success.

What are you feeling? What fear is causing a need to sabotage? We all have different personalities and backgrounds that caused our fears. For me, my biggest fear was around leadership and being visible. I know some of that came from being abducted at age 9. I was able to escape before anything really serious happened but it made a powerful impact on me that has been in my subconscious ever since that day. It made me feel unsafe to be noticed and visible. Well, network marketing is a business that requires that you get out there and connect with people. To be successful, you must be a good leader. A leader must be VISIBLE! EFT has been a powerful tool in clearing that issue for me.

Sometimes you don’t really know for sure why you are procrastinating and sabotaging your progress. I have included the EFT tapping script below for that. You can start with clearing general sabotage by procrastination, then tap on specific reasons once you start remembering things that could apply to your situation. Often things will come to mind as you are tapping. These are important. Add them to your tapping list.

Don’t worry about what words to say and what points to tap. Just tap through the points saying whatever comes to mind. You can use the script below as an example and change it up as you choose.

Even though I have been procrastinating, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.
Even though I don’t feel like doing what I know will make me successful, I choose to love and accept myself.
Even though I am procrastinating and I know that’s a form of sabotage, I love and forgive myself.

I keep procrastinating.
I don’t know why I am procrastinating.
I just can’t seem to get started.
I know I am sabotaging my success.
I don’t know why I want to put it off till later.
I know procrastination is based in fear.
What am I afraid of?
Am I afraid of success?

Is it that I don’t feel worthy of success so I sabotage myself?
Why am I sabotaging my success?
I just can’t seem to get things done.
I am resisting success but I want success.
I don’t know why I keep sabotaging myself.
I want success but I keep sabotaging.
I am afraid of failure so I keep sabotaging my efforts.
It’s easier to stay where I am than try and fail.

I am releasing the fear of stepping outside of my comfort zone.
I am releasing the habit of putting things off.
I’m releasing the helpless and stuck feeling.
Releasing the habit of procrastinating.
Letting go of the fear.

I choose to move forward one step at a time.
I feel good moving forward.
I deserve success.
I enjoy taking action.

How Strong is Your WHY?

Do you ever feel like there are times when you can’t seem to stay motivated to do what it takes to grow your business and reach your goals? We all have days like that but sometimes we can get stuck in a pattern of spinning our wheels and making no progress. This can happen even when you have learned all kinds of good ideas and information that, when applied, will help grow your business.

Whenever you find yourself stuck and spinning your wheels, it’s time to get refocused on your WHY. Knowing WHY you want to build this business is a powerful motivator. This is crucial to your success. If you don’t know why you want success in your network marketing business, you WILL NEVER have any success that amounts to anything.

Have you thought about your WHY? It needs to be strong and emotional.

If you have a goal to earn $5,000 or $10,000 a month, that is not a strong WHY. Stop and think about why you want that income. There needs to be an emotional reason that drives you to press on through the difficult times.

For me, I wanted FREEDOM. Freedom from working crappy jobs that I hated that did not even help us make ends meet. I wanted freedom from bill collectors calling. I wanted freedom from the pain of seeing things that needed repair around the house and not having money to take care of it. I wanted to be able to LOVE my life. I also wanted to retire my husband from the high stress job he hated. There has to be more than the drudgery of working crappy jobs, coming home so tired you go to sleep and start over again day after day.

Your WHY is needs to be strong enough to pull you through the rough spots and make you push yourself to do things when you don’t feel like doing them. Think about it every morning and throughout the day.

Here is an EFT that may be helpful in focusing on your WHY:

Remembering My WHY

3377 Tap through all the points. It doesn’t really matter what points you tap. For this one, I will use Young Living’s Magnify Your Purpose oil. Put a couple drops of oil on your fingertips before you begin tapping through the points.
As you tap, focus on your WHY. Picture it in your mind, feel the emotion.

Enhance Abundance With The Power of Gratitude

The law of attraction is always at work in our life. We attract more of whatever energy we are radiating. Whether you believe it or not, the energy you radiate can affect your business success – prospecting and sales. You know that you have experienced times when someone who is in a bad mood enters the room. You can feel the energy drop. When you find yourself in a conversation with a negative person, you can feel your own energy drop.

We affect each other with our different moods. The same thing happens when we have money worries, scarcity thinking, negative feelings about sales, talking to strangers about our business or product and any number of other negative emotions. Those negative feelings are reflected in the way we speak and act in any situation, or if we will act at all.

Gratitude is one of, if not the most powerful attracting energy. That is why writing a daily gratitude list is really beneficial to keep your energy on the positive attracting side. I have to admit, I don’t always take the time to write my list down but I try to express gratitude every day about several things that I can be thankful for.

One especially nice time to reflect on things you are grateful for is while going on a walk. As you walk, you can express gratitude for the beauty of the trees, flowers, streams, things about your life, health, family, etc. This should be things you are truly grateful for. Even in troubled times, there are lots of things that we can be thankful for. Celebrate those things. Reflect and rejoice over the good things. Gratitude reduces negativity. It is hard to be negative about your situation when you are thinking about things for which you are grateful. It also helps improve your mood.

gratitude-oil Apply a couple drops of Young Living Gratitude oil to enhance any gratitude reflection you are doing. I also recommend using Gratitude oil with any gratitude EFT Tapping you do. Tapping affirmations is really powerful. I recommend a Tap While You Thank session. Similar to Tap While You Gripe. You just tap any EFT points and think or say whatever you feel grateful for. The combination of Young Living Gratitude Oil with EFT while expressing gratitude is really powerful.

There are also times when abundant things happen. Those are times when it is important to celebrate and feel gratitude. That energy helps you attract more abundance. Dwelling on negative things like not having enough money can actually repel abundance. Celebrate even when you find a penny. You attracted money!

Here are a couple examples:

Gratitude Tapping

Today was an abundant day.
How abundant I am!
I am always finding money!
Yea! I love attracting good things!
I got a phone call from someone wanting product info.
I got a coupon for $10.00 off business supplies at Staples.
My hubby did the dishes so I could return some business phone calls.
I learned a great business tip from my upline.

You get the idea. Just tap through the points and think of all the abundant things that happened during the day.

Here’s another option:

Just start in tapping when something abundant happens. This is a great time to tap because you are feeling the abundant emotion. That is powerful and you can enhance it and program it into your cells by tapping.

How abundant I am!
I found money!
I am always finding money!
That is SO COOL!
It seems like I find money wherever I go.
It’s like I am a magnet attracting money.
I LOVE attracting money!
I’m so ABUNDANT!

How beautiful it is here.
I am so grateful to be alive!
I am so grateful for my family.
We have such fun together.
I’m grateful for my Network Marketing (Direct Marketing) Business that allows me the FREEDOM to work from home!
I am grateful for my health.
I LOVE the beautiful rain that will produce nice green plants in the spring.
I’m so grateful for my ABUNDANT blessings!

How To Increase The Energy Of Your Visualization

In order for you to create a different life, you have to see yourself differently. If you want to transform your life or your business, you need to see yourself differently. How do you see yourself right now? Do you see yourself as a successful person or do you feel that success is for other people?

It starts with a clear vision of what success looks like. Where do you want to go in your business. Do you want to supplement the income you already have? Do you want to have full time income working from home? Do you want financial freedom?

WHY are you building your business? If you haven’t really thought about why you are building your business, you need to stop and think about that right now. You need a clear vision about where you are going. Not only seeing it but FEELING it.

focus What you focus on, you attract more of. If you are focusing on what you do not like about your situation, you will attract more of the same. If you focus on what you don’t like about the way your business is going, you will keep attracting the same things. You want to be focusing on where you want to be in your business. Close your eyes and visualize how things will look when you have achieved your goal.

I like to talk through my visualization to help me get to the feelings. Use lots of feeling words as you are doing it. For example:

If you want to get to full time income, you need to get to leadership levels in your company. Visualize yourself on stage getting an award and say, “I am so excited for the day when I will walk on stage and get my award. I am wearing a sharp business suit and there are upline waiting at the side to congratulate me, people are cheering I am giddy with excitement. I feel so proud that I have achieved this and I love how it feels to be an inspiration to my friends who are also working toward this goal. It is so exciting to have financial and time freedom and be able to do whatever I want anytime I want.”

I like to visualize getting awards because it represents getting to the leadership ranks which means you have built a large organization. It is not the awards but the FREEDOM that comes with building your business. Add anything that adds to your vision of success. If you want to travel, add some visualization about that. Just keep thinking and talking about the way you would like it to be and the feelings that will bring.

Whenever you catch yourself focusing on negative things you don’t want, stop yourself and refocus on what you want it to look like.

Young Living members have some helpful resources in the emotional oil blends. There are several that can be used here. Some possible choices are: Envision, Abundance, Dream Catcher, Live With Passion, Magnify Your Purpose, Transformation, Valor.

EFT Session: I SEE FREEDOM!

Even though I am not there yet, I choose to remember WHY I am building this business.
Even though I always struggled with earning enough money, I am excited when I focus on the FREEDOM this business can bring me.
Even though I haven’t reached it yet, I love to focus on the FREEDOM this business can bring me.

I love to think about WHY I am building my business.
I am excited to be building financial FREEDOM.
I love to focus on the FREEDOM I want.
I am happy to think about having FREEDOM with my time.
It’s exciting to be able to follow whatever schedule I choose.
I choose freedom.
I know network marketing industry thrives in bad economy.
It is exciting to help other people fine their FREEDOM.

I spend a little time each day focusing on WHY I am building my business
I am on my way to FREEDOM.
I am visualizing FREEDOM.
I SEE it!
I am growing more and more confident every day.
I am remembering WHY I want my business to be successful.
I am so excited to be reaching my goals.
I choose to focus on WHY I am building this business.
I choose FREEDOM!!!

Try this visualization exercise:

Close your eyes and start to think about your goal. Tell a story in your mind or pretend you are watching a movie but instead of just watching the movie, step into the movie and become part of it. What does it look like? How does it feel? Picture yourself achieving it and living as though you have already attained it. Try to get as many details as you can.

Now, as you are visualizing, tap the EFT points. It doesn’t really matter which points. Just tap points as you visualize.

Do this EFT visualization exercise every day. One thing I notice when I do visualization this way is that the images get stronger each time. I find this especially helpful when I have trouble visualizing.

Visualization is a very important tool for your success. Adding EFT powerfully accelerates the whole visualization process.

Give it a try. Hey, it’s FREE. What if it works for you?

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.

EFT Tapping on Resisting Change

Essential oils that could be used with this tapping: Valor, Acceptance, Release.
