I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for being a subscriber to my rather unusual newsletter!
I love that I can really mix it up with you in going from the deep blocks to our money and personal power, do some over the top tapping…and then push you to take some action with my “tip videos”.
I really enjoy speaking to you and love reading the comments you leave, too!
So today my gift for you is about turning the dial DOWN on that inner critic so you can stop manifesting “more ways to prove yourself” and instead start receiving more rewards…because YES, the 2 things are shockingly connected.
The big downside to the inner critic is that it keeps us always striving to EARN our deserving. As a matter of fact, it’s like a constant voice saying to the universe, “I don’t deserve YET, because I have not perfected it yet”.
This is a huge block to allowing and receiving more “reward” in life, whether in terms of money, or position or in getting the recognition (or love) you deserve.
But here’s the tricky part. The Inner Critic is a part of your very smart and brilliant mind and it has lots and lots of evidence for everything it tells you.
Very much like a computer or robot, it does not understand love, passion or JOY of receiving rewards and reveling in them. It only understands protecting you and facts from the past.
So first, we don’t usually question our Inner Critic because, well, we think it’s right! And secondly, it is never, NEVER, ever going to lead us to enjoying rewards NOW. It will always keep us in striving mode! YUCK.
So the tapping below is to help you shift from your Inner Critic to honoring how much fun it is to just be awesome and RECEIVE the reward we sooooo deserve for that awesome-ness NOW (not later!) Boy, do we go from a negative vibe to a super positive place in a few minutes!
To get started, think about something you have done in the recent past where you could say, “Well, I could have or should have done it better”….and let’s start tapping!
Tapping through your favorite points:
There I am…jeez, I could have done it better!
I can always do it better,
I should have prepared more
I should have known more
In the world of infinite possibility
There is always a way to improve
Even though it went really well
Some people thought it was awesome
I really could have done it better
Much better, so much better
I have not done enough yet!
Blah blah blah, more, more, more!
I would love to deserve now,
But I am not there yet
Cause I am not perfect yet
And I am right about that
Perfection does exist and I have not gotten there yet
So of course I don’t deserve YET!
Maybe someday in the future when I get it perfect, but not yet!
Ugh! I honor my Inner Critic
And all the ways this robot in my head
Thinks it is right, and that “perfection” exists
It is always on, always reminding me “could have been better!”
And it never lets me arrive or feel deserving!
Okay does it feel like I am reading your mind? Take a deep breathe! Now let’s bring in some perspective and lightness.
Tapping again:
I honor my inner critic and all the ways it has pushed me
I have accomplished a lot due to this voice
And I really do enjoy achieving and doing AWESOME
And I really always will
It’s fun being awesome!
It’s fun being smart and brilliant and having people see that!
And I am not perfect, never will be, but I am definitely AWESOME
Awesome is so much more fun than perfect!
It’s funner…and that is not a real word ha ha
My inner critic is now pointing that out!
Oh well, loosen up! Perfection is boring!
Being awesome and doing my best and achieving is fun
When I take away the need to prove and be perfect
I get the FUN of being awesome!
And in this present moment, I am awesome and doing my best
There is nothing more I need to do to prove or earn it
I deserve right now
I deserve right now
Yup, I deserve right now, even before I do another thing
I deserve more money
I deserve recognition for my gifts
I deserve to be loved and adored and get lots of hugs
I deserve cause I am awesome…awesomely me!
I deserve right now because I was born deserving
And so I am opening the floodgates
To all the abundant rewards I have been holding off receiving
While I waited until I proved myself more
I am opening the floodgates now to all I deserve
And I will practice saying YES and THANK YOU
To every bit that comes my way….YES, THANK YOU!
Yes, I like that, THANK YOU, I will receive that, YES!
YES, YES, YES!
Enjoy,
XO

Hello Margaret. I ´m very glad to receive this e-mail from you about my inner critic blocking my rewards.
I think, this is the case of all of us who pretend to be perfect; and of course perfection never comes while there are others out there who accept themselves with all their mistakes and errors and still receive lots of rewards.
This is a similar e-mail of another one you posted last year saying something like…I can do mistakes and still I do deserve a financial miracle in my life which I love…………these are short sentences with a great impact in our psyche that if we do the exercise of repeating them with conviction they bring us great benefits and rewards in our lives.
Thank you Margaret………….your e-mails have and excellent quality in the development of our wellbeing
Thank you Margaret. This arrived in my Inbox at the exact time I needed it. Perfection is the enemy of done!
Yes, I also received this email just when I needed to read it! My eyes opened so wide when I read the subject line! Thank you!
Dear Margaret: It´s me again giving comments on your tapping about the inner critic blocking our rewards.I just took my diary and looked for another tapping written by you related to this one which I wrote in my diary last year as it created a great impact in my life……….In this tapping I ´m talking about you say:
I deserve some compassion, some self understanding….I deserve to let his go instead of all these mental beatings………I can make a mistake and still deserve miracles in my life…I can make a mistake and deserve abundance and prosperity……..I can make a mistake and deserve to be loved and accepted……….I can make a mistake and still love and accept myself…………………These sentences you wrote Margaret are like gems and jewels for me due to the meaning they have in my life………………
Thanks a lot Margaret
This is my “Amazingly Awesome” thing to happen to me today! Just in time@!!!
Thanks Margaret.
Thanks Margaret. I love the connection between not being perfect and not being deserving. Awesome stuff!
Thank you Margaret !
Your valuable suggestion and tapping affirmation is very helpful for me. I’m doing EFT tapping on a daily basis and conducting workshop with friends, corporate office and social organizations twice a month on an average
I will communicate with you about my EFT life and its progress.

Love u
Thanks, Margaret! This email was very helpful! My therapist always tells me to strive for progress not perfection, so I just put that with this and the combination is AWESOME! Thanks!
Thank you Margaret! You nailed it! You are awesome!
And now I will have a so much better conversation with my inner critic – balanced and free of disstress.
YES, YES, YES!!! I needed this today because my Inner Critic has been a real Beeatch lately! I deserve it. I can do it. I know enough and have enough RIGHT NOW to have a successful coaching business. Phew. Thank you so much Margaret—feeling lighter and less stressed already.
Thanks! This is so much fun! You are absolutely right! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your creativity.
Thank you Margaret! I have a job interview tomorrow and this is exactly what I needed! I know I can do the job, but my inner critic keeps shooting doubt at me. This helped so much.
