There’s a PERVASIVE cultural drive out there, one that I find myself caught up in way too often: the need to justify my existence by my work, accomplishments, ambition, etc.
I’m sure I’m the only one dealing with this challenge… 😉
I beat myself up because I didn’t get enough done, I haven’t accomplished enough, my need to be working and moving at all times…
As babies, we received love just for being alive and cute and cuddly. Then at one point, that switched and we started believing the myth that we were only deserving of love if we did ENOUGH or we were ENOUGH.
Well, it is a MYTH… because you are deserving of love just as you are… flaws, mistakes, wrinkles and all.
So let’s do some tapping on this!
Remember, these are general phrases, so start with these and then move on to SPECIFIC situations, events, and memories for you.
The more SPECIFIC you can get with your personal stuff, the better results you’ll have. These are just to get you started and get your mind going.
If you don’t know the points or want further instruction on how to do the tapping, you can find it here.
Tapping Script: Justifying My Existence
Karate Chop: Even though part of me feels I need to justify my existence, I deeply and completely love and accept myself
(Repeat the above phrase three times while tapping on the karate chop point.)
Eyebrow: I need to justify my existence
Side of the Eye: I need to do more
Under Eye: I need to be more
Under Nose: Justifying my existence
Under Mouth: Am I enough?
Collarbone: Can I do enough?
Under the Arm: I’ve got to do more
Top of the Head: I need to justify my existence
(Repeat the above phrases a couple of times, including your own phrases as well, and when you feel significant relief, move on to the positive phrases.)
Eyebrow: I am enough
Side of the Eye: I am perfect as I am
Under the Eye: Whatever I do, it’s enough
Under Nose: I am loved as I am
Under Mouth: I love myself
Collarbone: And forgive myself
Under the Arm: Because I am enough
Top of the Head: I release this need to justify my existence
As you can probably figure, or maybe feeling right now if you’ve just done the tapping, this can be heavy stuff!
I’d suggest you spend 10-15 minutes tapping through this again and again and be sure to move on to the specific issues that come up for you.
Jot down whatever specific event, issue, or memory these phrases triggered, and then work on tapping those down.
Do me a favor when you get a chance, share your experience, comments, and ideas from this Tapping script below.
I’d love to hear from you. 🙂
And as a bonus, I’m also including one of the Tapping App Meditations to assist you even further.

Until next time…
Keep Tapping!
