Did you take your New Year's resolutions seriously and establish action steps to achieve them or have they faded in to something that you'll dust off at the start of next year?
You can use mind maps and EFT Tapping to keep you on track and deal with resistance, negative thinking and distractions that stop you from moving forward and making progress towards what you want.

Rod Sherwin says the therapy can help marketers a lot with daily issues, especially dealing with disappointment.
“When you’re dealing with a client, you get a brief, you go away, and you might do some work you would consider amazing,” Sherwin explains. “You bring it back and they say ‘that’s all crap’, so there’s this frustration, you’re disheartened. That initial emotional reaction affects the ability to communicate and deal with those emotions with the client. This therapy is not about making us robots, it’s about freeing us up so we can make better decisions. Because under stress we don’t make good decisions, we’re not rational.”
Sherwin says EFT is all about getting to the underlying cause of the stress, which often isn’t work–related.
“We’re a whole person, maybe something is going on away from work, maybe you’re moving house and it’s stressful or maybe you’ve got a child who is having an operation,” Sherwin says. “All of these things affect how we turn up each day. If we can shift those emotional levels, if we can change that at a deep enough level. We get changes in thoughts and behaviours and feelings. And it’s not just about positive thinking and telling you to be grateful. You are allowed to be upset, frustrated, disheartened, angry, disappointed. Whatever the feeling is, we deal with that at an emotional level. A good company is trying to think about the whole wellbeing of their employees, and often it’s troubles at home causing them distress, and that’s not the employers fault, but if we deal with that, they’re probably going to turn up as a better employee.”
So should employers be worried that giving their employees this therapy could make them see they are not a good fit for the job? Yep, they should be.
“I actually do think it’s a risk (that people will quit their jobs after therapy),” Sherwin says. “But if someone is really unhappy in their job, is it serving the company for them to be there? Maybe they just need to be helped to make that decision to move on. The good thing is a lot of people love their job, there just might be one particular aspect of it that is uncomfortable or difficult. Thankfully, most people don’t decide to quit.

EFT could well be described as the newest ‘over the counter’ miracle drug for ‘whatever ails you!’ If Rod Sherwin knows one thing, it is circuitry, and the importance in keeping all pathways open and clear so that info (energy) can move itself through. Listen to how Ron made the transition from IT specialist to EFT specialist and why it all made sense to him!
This is my take-away from reading The Happiness Hypothesis by Jonathan Haidt. This is a great book that combines Eastern wisdom with the latest psychological studies to get us closer to an understanding of what is required for happiness.
The author uses the analogy of an elephant and its rider to represent our emotions/subconsious self (the elephant) and our rational/conscious mind (the rider). I find this very much applicable to working with emotions using energy psychology and EFT, as it is much easier to change thoughts and behaviours if we work the elephant rather than the rider (as is done in tradtional talk therapies).
For me the first major takeaway was the Happiness Formula presented in chapter 5 developed by Sonja Lyubomirsky, Ken Sheldon, and David Schkade: H = S + C + V
This translates to: Your level of happiness (H) is determined by your biological set point (S) plus the conditions of your life (C) plus the voluntary actions (V) you do. Different self-help gurus over the years have focused on each of these different areas to focus on in improving your happiness. From this formula you can identify what is within your power to change and what is not.
The Happiness formula is referred to through out the book but is not seen to answer all the questions about happiness in the dicussions that follow.
Towards the end of the book, the author explores the Holy Question, that of "What is the purpose of life?" Using his philisophical training, he looks at the question from a number of different angles and finds that the question that can be answered should actually be "What is the purpose within life?". His answer to the question becomes his Happiness hypothesis: that happiness comes from between.
Happiness is not something you can find, acquire, or achieve directly. You have to get the conditions right and then wait. Some of these conditions are within you, such as the coherence among the parts and levels of your personality. Other conditions require relationships to things beyond you: ... people need love, work, and a connection to something larger.
It is worth striving to get the right relationships between yourself and others, between yourself and your work, and between yourself and something larger than yourself. If you get these relationships right, a sense of purpose and meaning will emerge.
I found the interweaving of classical wisdom from Buddhism and philosophy and modern scientific research to be fascinating and illuminating in my own continuing search for happines.
From a recent news letter I received about instructional design:
We have just started training a guide dog (tax deductable “security”…). It is very interesting process. Before we got the dog, we had to sign an agreement relating to its training and care. We have been supplied with a comprehensive manual and receive a weekly visit from the master trainer to ensure we are doing a good job (compare this with having a baby; planning, manual, support – all optional.) The training process is primarily through positive reinforcement and consistency - no punishment.
If the dog fails to get accepted as guide dog, the failed trainer has to pay and gets the dog back. Imagine how leadership training would improve if we had the threat of getting the failed leader as our own boss!
These are some thoughtful questions given to healing practitioners and I enjoyed there answers; along with mine.

There is a wealth of information in the tapping community. From time to time I ask practitioners I respect their thoughts on tapping, healing, and their work. (I “round up” their opinions.) This happens about once a month. You can read past round-ups.
