It's friggin' frustrating, isn't it?

Especially when you know you're capable of more.

You can see what you want. You might even know exactly what you need to do to get there.

But for some reason, you're not doing it.

You might spend hours researching something you could have started weeks ago. Or keep tweaking an idea because it's not quite ready yet.

Perhaps you've got a business you'd love to grow, but the thought of putting yourself out there makes you want to hide under the duvet.

Or there's a conversation you really need to have, and you've been rehearsing it in your head for months.

Sometimes you get going, things start looking promising, and then you find yourself back where you started.

And you wonder what the hell is wrong with you.

Because surely, if you wanted it badly enough, you'd just get on with it?

Well, let's have a look at that.

Here's a question you might have been avoiding.

What has putting things off already cost you?

I mean really cost you.

Think about something you wanted to do this time last year.

Something you were excited about. Something you told yourself you were definitely going to make happen.

Have you done it?

If you haven't, what stopped you?

And what might be different in your life right now if you'd started back then?

Perhaps you'd be earning more money, doing work you actually enjoy, or feeling better about yourself.

Maybe you'd have finally made that decision that's been hanging over you for months.

And then there's all the time you've spent thinking about it.

The mental conversations. The frustration of watching yourself do the same thing again. The opportunities you've watched other people take while you've been telling yourself you'll get round to it eventually.

How much longer do you want to keep doing that?

Because there's another cost that I think is even more important.

Every time you tell yourself you're going to do something and then don't, what happens to your belief in yourself?

You start to wonder whether you're ever going to follow through.

You might even stop getting excited about your own ideas because you've had so many that never went anywhere.

And that's a horrible place to find yourself.

Now imagine it's October 2027.

Another year has gone by.

Are you still thinking about the same things? Still having the same conversations with yourself about what you're going to do one day?

So why do we do this to ourselves?

You've probably tried all the usual things.

Setting goals. Making plans. Being more disciplined. Giving yourself a good talking to.

You might have bought books, done courses or spent hours listening to people explain how to be more productive.

And yet you still find yourself avoiding the very things you want to do.

Here's something I want you to consider.

What if the reason you're not getting what you want has very little to do with knowing HOW to get it?

What if you've got some invisible rules about what you're allowed to have, what you're capable of, and who you're allowed to BE?

And what if getting the very thing you want would mean breaking one of those rules?

Let's say you want to grow your business.

You know that being more visible would help. You could start sharing your work, telling people what you offer or reaching out to potential clients.

But every time you think about doing it, something comes up.

You suddenly remember an email you need to answer. Or decide your website needs another tweak. Or convince yourself you should learn a bit more before you start promoting yourself.

It's quite possible that the thought of being visible brings up a fear of judgement or rejection.

Here's the interesting bit.

Consciously, you might desperately want more clients, more money or more freedom. But if part of you associates that success with judgement, responsibility or losing something important, it's understandable that you might resist the actions that could get you there.

And the really frustrating part is that you might not even realise you're doing it.

And to make matters worse, the relief you get from avoiding something can make you more likely to avoid it again.

And before you know it, another six months have passed.

Of course, there are all sorts of reasons we put things off. Sometimes we genuinely don't have the time or resources.

But when you repeatedly avoid something that's important to you, I reckon it's worth getting curious about why.

And that's exactly what we're going to do in this challenge.

We're going to look at what happens when you think about making the change you want, what might be making it uncomfortable, and how you can start responding differently.

What if you've been going about success arse about face?

Most of us set goals based on something we don't currently have.

And we tell ourselves that when we finally achieve it, THEN we'll feel successful. Confident. Good enough. Abundant.

We're waiting for our circumstances to change before we allow ourselves to become that version of ourselves.

But who you currently believe yourself to BE influences what you DO, which influences the results you HAVE.

So if you want different results, it makes sense to look at the beliefs and patterns influencing your behaviour.

And that's where this challenge comes in.

We'll be using EFT tapping to work with the emotions that come up.

EFT is a technique that involves tapping on specific points on your face and upper body while focusing on what's bothering you. It's used to help reduce emotional distress, which can make it easier to approach things you've been avoiding.

And I'll be encouraging you to actually put what you're learning into practice.

Because I'd much rather you finished the week having done something you've been putting off than simply having another notebook full of interesting insights.

Clearing the Blocks to Success

Five days to find out what's holding you back and start doing something about it.

Here's how it's going to work.

At the beginning of the challenge, I'm going to ask you to choose ONE thing you've been putting off.

It could be something in your business, your relationships, your health or another area of your life.

Something that matters to you, but that you keep finding reasons not to do.

We'll use that as the focus for the week.

Each day, I'll guide you through some exercises to help you recognise what might be getting in the way, and we'll use EFT tapping to work with whatever comes up.

By Friday (or before), I want you to be in a position to take a meaningful step towards that thing you've been avoiding.

Monday 19th October

DAY 1 — You know what you want. So what's stopping you?

We'll get clear on what you actually want and have a look at what happens when you think about going for it.

What are you telling yourself? What feelings come up? Have you tried something similar before and had a disappointing experience?

We'll start tapping on some of those doubts and the belief that perhaps you can't do it.

By the end of the session, you'll have a clearer idea of what you're working towards and where some of your resistance might be coming from.

Tuesday 20th October

DAY 2 — What if you actually succeeded?

You'd think getting what you want would be a good thing, wouldn't you?

But what if succeeding also meant more responsibility? Or people expecting more from you? What if you became more visible and people started judging you?

We're going to explore the possible downsides of getting what you want.

Some of them might surprise you.

And we'll use tapping to work on the fears and uncomfortable feelings we uncover.

Wednesday 21st October

DAY 3 — What's so good about staying where you are?

I know. Strange question.

Especially when you're fed up with where you are!

But sometimes there are benefits to keeping things exactly as they are.

For instance, if you never launch your idea, nobody can reject it.

If you never ask for what you want, you don't have to risk hearing no.

And if you keep doing what's familiar, you don't have to deal with the uncertainty of something new.

We'll look at what you might be getting out of staying stuck and explore how you can begin moving forward without feeling that you have to protect yourself by avoiding everything.

Thursday 22nd October

DAY 4 — Who would you be if you'd already done it?

This is where we'll start looking at things from a different perspective.

Imagine you've achieved the thing you want.

How do you feel about yourself? What do you believe you're capable of? How do you respond when something doesn't go to plan?

We'll explore how that version of you thinks, feels and behaves, and how you can begin bringing some of that into your life NOW, rather than waiting until you've achieved the goal.

And if imagining yourself being that person brings up resistance (which it very well might!), we'll tap on that too.

Friday 23rd October

DAY 5 — If not now, when?

By now, you'll have spent four days looking at the things that might have been stopping you.

So what are you going to do with what you've discovered?

We'll work on any resistance that's still hanging around, and I'll help you identify a meaningful action you can take towards what you want.

It doesn't have to be enormous.

But it does need to be something that actually moves you forward.

Because the whole point of this challenge is to help you start doing the things you've been putting off.

What could you do if you stopped talking yourself out of it?

Think about that for a moment.

What would you finally get started on?

Maybe you'd put that offer out there and see what happens. Or make a decision you've been agonising over.

Perhaps you'd finally have the confidence to tell someone what you really want, or give yourself permission to pursue something you've been dreaming about for years.

And how good would it feel to know you actually followed through?

I can't promise that five days of tapping will clear every fear or doubt you've ever had.

But I can help you look at some of the patterns that might be holding you back, and show you how to use EFT to work with the feelings that come up when you try to change them.

I'd love you to finish the week feeling a bit differently about what's possible for you.

And, even better, having taken some action.

Hello, I'm Claire!

I'm an EFT Master Practitioner and coach, and I help people who know they're capable of more but keep finding themselves getting in their own way.

A lot of the people I work with already know what they should be doing. They're just not doing it, and it's frustrating the hell out of them.

I use EFT tapping alongside coaching to help people work out what's going on and start changing those patterns.

And yes, I know what it's like to put things off!

The phone call I nearly didn't make...

I once had a list of 52 people I needed to phone after a workshop. And I REALLY didn't want to call them.

I started thinking about whether I could just send them all a text instead. Or perhaps one email to everyone would do the job?

The thing is, I knew making the calls was the better option. I just couldn't face doing it. I'd had a horrible experience making phone calls in a previous job, and I could feel all that old resistance coming up again.

So I did about 90 seconds of EFT tapping.

And something rather interesting happened.

The voice in my head that had been saying "I don't want to do this" suddenly changed to "Oh, just fucking do it."

So I did.

And the very first person I phoned became a £2,000 client.

She went on to work with me for longer, and eventually paid for one of her employees to work with me too.

All in all, that one phone call led to over £6,400 in business.

And I nearly didn't make it because I was too busy trying to find a way out of making the calls!

That's one of the reasons I love EFT. Sometimes the thing stopping you is how you feel about taking the action. And when that feeling changes, doing what you already know you need to do can become a whole lot easier.

A few things you might be wondering...

I've never done EFT tapping before. Does that matter?

Not in the slightest.

EFT involves tapping gently on specific points on your face and upper body while focusing on something that's bothering you.

I'll explain what we're doing and guide you through it. You can just follow along.

And if you're a bit sceptical, I don't blame you. It can look rather odd until you've tried it!

What if I don't know why I keep putting things off?

That's one of the things we'll be exploring, so you're in the right place.

Do I have to share personal things with the group?

No. You can take part in the exercises and tapping without sharing anything you'd rather keep private.

What if I can't make all five sessions?

The sessions will be recorded, and you'll have access to them until Saturday 31st October 2026.

How long are the sessions?

Each session will be via Zoom and run 2pm to 3pm UK, Monday 19th to Friday 23rd October.

Is it really free?

Yep! All five days are free.

I'll tell you about an opportunity to continue working with me if you'd like more support afterwards, but that's entirely optional.

One last question...

Think about that thing you've been putting off.

How long has it been on your mind?

And how much longer are you prepared to wait before you do something about it?

You could be sitting here this time next year still telling yourself you'll get round to it.

Or you could look back and remember October 2026 as the month you finally made a start.

If not now, when?

You don't need another year of telling yourself you're going to do it.

Come and find out what's really been stopping you, start clearing the resistance and discover what becomes possible when you begin working WITH yourself instead of against yourself.
