What to do when all you're hearing is crickets 🦗
Why isn't anything happening???
After thinking that I’d ease into the New Year (lol), I found myself firing on all cylinders instead. 🚀
I’ve been laser focused on making my vision board a reality. Thanks to my *Spark of Possibility* framework, I’ve made incredible progress by:
Sending cold pitches to potential freelance clients
Pitching myself for podcasts and events
Hosted my first EFT Tapping Block Party 🎉 (which I’m turning into a free monthly workshop)
Recorded a powerful Daily Check-In tapping meditation
Sent a DM to the girl who’s living in my dream beach cottage telling her I want dibs if she ever moves out (!)
But here’s something I didn’t expect: the hardest part wasn’t taking action. The hardest part wasn’t putting myself out there.
The hardest part has been… the silence after.
Amazingly I got a freelance writing assignment early on. But since then?
Nothing. Silence. Crickets.
My brain has been spiraling 🌀:
💭 Am I not good enough?
💭 Did I say too much? Too little?
💭 Am I the only one that thinks this is a good idea?
💭 Who am I kidding?!
This is the part where most people give up.
(I’ve given up here before!)
Not because you and I aren’t talented. Not because our ideas aren’t good.
But because silence is uncomfortable. It feels like rejection.
This is where my tapping practice comes in.
It opens up the possibility that that my beliefs about silence aren’t true.
What if silence doesn’t mean “no”?
What if silence isn’t rejection at all?
What if silence is just the space before something happens?
I’ve been tapping on this A LOT. Not to force a result or to bypass the discomfort.
But to keep going even when I’m not seeing results yet. After all, you never know what’s happening behind the scenes.
💡 Maybe the right person hasn’t seen my offer yet
💡 Maybe my ‘yes’ is coming next week
💡 Maybe they’re OOO and haven’t seen my email
If you’re also feeling stuck in the waiting, you can tap with me. I’m sharing the exact script and journal prompts I’m using to:
👆🏼 Release the pressure to see instant results
👆🏼 Befriend the pause
👆🏼 Take the next best step anyway
