Deconstructing a Goal, Vision, or Dream for Maximum Results (with Tapping)

This process was originally shared live on stage during the Mind Mastery World Summit in San Diego, CA.

This process involves having a general understanding of the Tapping protocols. If you’re new to Tapping, read about the basics here.

On that page, you’ll find “How to” videos, images, descriptions, and just about everything else you need to know to get started.

Now, on to the 5 steps for deconstructing a goal:

Step 1: Write down your goal, dream, aspiration.

You can make this a specific goal, “I want to earn a million dollars a year,” a more general goal, “I want to bring peace to my relationship with my mom,” or it can be stated more as a vision, “I’d like to create dramatic social change.”

Throughout any part of this process, don’t worry about getting it right; whatever language pops up in your head first, that’s the right language. But do make sure to write it down.

Step 2: Write down your immediate gut response when you read that goal.

How do you FEEL?

Are you 100% in alignment with it?

How does your body respond to reading it?

For example, you might feel and write down, “I feel uncomfortable when I read this… I’m excited… I’m anxious…”

Be specific in your notes and give every feeling a 0-10 rating. So if you’re feeling anxious as you read the goal, write down, “I’m feeling anxious” and then put a number of its intensity next to it, “8” for example.

You can write down more than one emotion or feeling, but be as specific as possible.

Do you feel tension in your stomach? Write that down. Are you slightly nauseous? Write that down.

Step 3: Write down what other people would say about your goal if you shared it with them.

Friends, family members, society, co-workers, etc. Whatever pops in your head first, write that down.

So if you think about sharing your goal with your mom, and you picture her saying, “That’s a silly idea…” then write that down PLUS how you FEEL about her thoughts.

Be specific and give it a number of intensity on the 0-10 scale.

Step 4: Write down YOUR beliefs about the goal.

For example, “Part of me thinks this is impossible… I’ve never been able to do this before… who am I to achieve this…”

Note the feelings this brings up. Be specific and give it a number.

Step 5: Systematically tap OUT all of this RESISTANCE and tap IN positive feelings and expectations!

Go through each item that brought up an issue, and tap on it until you bring the feelings around it down to “0” or a low number. Keep noting anything else that comes up through the process.

To get you started, here’s a free meditation from The Tapping Solution App that comes with your free download.
