Fear Of Change (Even When It's Good)

Fear of change doesn't always mean you're making the wrong decision. In fact, sometimes the biggest opportunities in life come wrapped in uncertainty.

Our nervous systems are wired to prefer what's familiar—even when the familiar no longer serves us. That's why a new job, relationship, move, business opportunity, or even healing can trigger anxiety.

In this EFT tapping session, we'll help calm your nervous system so you can move through uncertainty with greater confidence and clarity.

Remember: You don't need certainty to move forward. You only need enough safety within yourself to take the next step.

Have you ever wanted something so badly and then the moment it became possible, You suddenly wanted to run in the other direction? Maybe it's a new job, A relationship. Starting a business, Moving, Even healing. Here's where most people get it wrong. Fear does not always mean don't do it. Sometimes fear simply means your nervous system has never been here before. So today what I want to do is tap with you to calm that fear so that you can make decisions from a space of clarity instead of anxiety. So if you're new to this practice of tapping, I'm simply going to walk you through tapping gently on certain points of the body, And all you need to do is repeat what I'm saying out loud. We're going to start by just taking a nice deep inhale. And exhale. I'm just noticing how the body feels right now. And I want you to bring to mind something that you have fear of change around. And I want you to rate the intensity of this sphere on a scale of 0 to 10. And then we're going to begin to tap. On the karate chop point or that pinky side of the hand. It doesn't matter which hand you're tapping with and which hand you're tapping on. We're just tapping on that pinky side of the hand. And then repeating after me. Even though this change feels scary. I deeply and completely accept myself. Even now. Part of me wants this. And another part of me wants to hide. Right here, Right now. I'm honoring both parts. Even though. I don't know what's coming. And my nervous system keeps preparing for the worst. I'm open to feeling safe. In the unknown. I'm gonna move. To the eyebrow. This fear of change. Side of the eye. My mind keeps imagining everything that could go wrong. Under the eye. I don't know what's going to happen. Under the nose. And uncertainty feels unsafe. Onto the chin. My body wants certainty. Collarbone. It wants guarantees. Under the arm. It wants proof that everything will work out. Back of a hand. But life doesn't work that way. And then the top of the head. It's okay. And I'm okay. Eyebrow. Maybe I'm not actually afraid of change. Side of the eye. Maybe I'm afraid of what I can't predict. Under the eye. My nervous system doesn't love uncertainty. Under the nose. Because uncertainty has felt dangerous before. Onto the chin. So my body is trying to protect me. Thank you for trying to keep me safe on the collarbone. Moving under the arm. But I don't need to treat every unknown like an emergency. Back of the hand. I can begin teaching my body something new. Top of the head. It's okay, And I'm okay. Eyebrow. What if I can feel fear? Side of the eye. Without letting fear make my decisions. Under the eye. What if excitement and anxiety actually feel similar in the body? Under the nose. Maybe I don't need to know every step. Onto the chin point. Maybe I only need the next one. Collarbone. I've handled uncertainty before. Under the arm. I've survived difficult seasons. Back of the hand. And I've grown because of them. Top of the head. It's okay. And I'm okay. Coming to the eyebrow. I'm allowed to be nervous. Side of the eye and still move forward. Under the eye. I'm allowed to have questions. Under the nose and still trust myself. Onto the chin. My future isn't asking me to be fearless. Collarbone. It's asking me to stay present. Under the arm. One breath. Back of the hand. One choice. Topic ahead. It's okay, And I'm okay. Eyebrow. I choose curiosity. Over catastrophe. Side of the eye. I choose possibility. Over panic. Under the eye. I choose to trust the wisdom I've built through every challenge I've already overcome. Under the nose. My nervous system is learning that change can also bring joy. It can bring peace. Collarbone. It can bring opportunity. Under the arm. I don't have to know the entire path. Back of the hand. I only need enough courage for the next step. Top of the head. It's okay. And I'm okay. And then take a nice deep breath in here. And check in with yourself. Notice of the intensity. I shifted at all. If that number has changed at all. Notice if the body has a message for you. And once again, We'll take another deep breath in. And full breath out. Sometimes just tapping and acknowledging out loud how you're feeling, That in itself is enough to begin to shift it. And I hope that you are beginning to feel perhaps a little bit lighter. Maybe it's giving you clarity. I hope that you. Continue to tap. Continue to explore. And make this practice your own. I'm sending all the love your way. Take care of yourself. Till next time.
