In this tapping meditation, we will overcome a common block to productivity – and that’s procrastination. Even if it is a task or project we want to do, even one we enjoy, getting going can be challenging. Instead of getting started, we make a phone call, check social media, start laundry, work on a different project – really anything that allows us to continue procrastinating. The real reason we procrastinate though is not the task itself but often the emotions that we are feeling around the task. Sometimes the task may just seem too hard and there is some fear or resistance to exerting ourselves in that way, or perhaps we feel anxiety around having to learn a new skill or make a decision we are uncomfortable making. Other times we may be afraid we won’t do a good enough job and worry what other people will think. There are lots of reasons we procrastinate and we are not always even aware of those reasons. But at the root of procrastination we usually find unresolved emotions. In this tapping meditation we will focus on releasing those emotions so we can stop procrastinating and get going on whatever it is we need to do.

This meditation is meant to serve as a guide to get you tapping on this topic and give you some general language and ideas on how to tap. As always, if the language doesn’t apply to you, you can change it to fit your needs. As you tap, notice any ideas, thoughts, impressions, emotions, specific memories that you can tap on either during this meditation or on your own. The more specific you can be with your particular experience, what you’re feeling exactly, what happened, what you believe, the better your results are going to be. Let’s start by focusing on what you’re currently feeling. We will spend a few minutes doing negative or truth tapping, not to anchor it in but rather to acknowledge it and let it go. Feeling safe to acknowledge how we feel, to speak the truth about our current experience is one of the most powerful things you can do.
