Connection Frustration

admin

I am sure I am not alone in feeling even more frustrated with this lockdown. For a start it is out of sync with Wales, which means my family and friends there are now out of lockdown whilst here in England we have a few weeks to go. I am so missing the connection with my family and friends.

I have found that EFT or Tapping has really helped me vent my frustration and come to terms with all my emotions.

My tapping setup statements went like this…

  • Even though I’m really frustrated we’re locked down again, I accept my feelings anyway
  • Even though I really miss my family, I love and accept myself anyway
  • Even though I am frustrated I can’t see my family and they are now free again, I acknowledge and accept all my emotions
  • Even though I am desperate to see my family and really hope our lockdown doesn’t drag on longer, I accept all my feelings

Tune in to your feelings and tweak your setup statements to suit. Keep tapping until you feel better. You may need to repeat the tapping for many rounds.

After tapping I always feel much calmer and much less frustrated.

Lessons Learnt

What the lockdowns have taught me is that it is the connection with friends and family that I really miss the most. Yes I would love to be able to go out for a meal or a coffee too but it’s the not being able to see people that bothers me the most.

Whilst I am grateful for Zoom and social media it is not the same as seeing people face to face. But it is better than nothing at the moment.

I am continuing to tap regularly and making time to do lots of self care. I am so grateful to get out walking in nature and to be reminded to let go by the trees! 🙂

Patience is a Virtue

admin

Do you hate waiting for things? I’m referring to things like a job offer, a promotion, moving house or going on holiday. Or maybe it’s the smaller things that really try your patience like waiting for a bus, waiting in the traffic or waiting at the dentists.  Is there a difference in your patience? Do you have more patience for bigger events and less for the mundane things? Or is it the other way around?

What things do you do whilst you have to wait? What emotions are present when you are waiting? Frustration, anger, fear, guilt? Make a note of your feelings around these issues so that you can compare with how you feel after you have done some tapping on the issue.

So, as usual, write down your score on a scale of 0 -10 (where 10 is maximum impatience).

Tap on the Karate Chop whilst repeating three times:

  • Even though I hate waiting for things, I’m willing to accept myself anyway
  • Even though I get so frustrated and angry when I’m waiting, I’m open to accepting myself anyway
  • Even though I have no patience, I accept how I feel anyway

Eyebrow: I hate waiting
Side of Eye: It makes me angry and grumpy
Under Eye: It’s so frustrating waiting
Under Nose: I have no patience
Chin: I get so mad if I have to wait
Collarbone: It frustrates me waiting for things
Under Arm: I don’t have any patience
Top of Head: It feels like I’m wasting my life waiting

Eyebrow: I can’t sit still when I’m waiting
Side of Eye: I have to keep checking how much time has passed
Under Eye: and how much time is left to go
Under Nose: I find it so annoying
Chin: It makes me so mad
Collarbone: It really winds me up waiting
Under Arm: I find myself fidgeting and pacing back and forth
Top of Head: I have no patience and hate waiting

Eyebrow: I’m open to feeling different about waiting
Side of Eye: What if I could feel calmer about waiting
Under Eye: Maybe I can feel less frustrated
Under Nose: I’m open to having more patience
Chin: What if I could do something constructive when I have to wait
Collarbone: Maybe I won’t get angry and frustrated
Under Arm: What if I found it easier to wait
Top of Head: I’m open to letting it be easy to feel patient

Use your words where appropriate to really tune in to how you feel. Keep tapping until you no longer feel so impatient. I’d love to hear your feedback, so please leave a comment.

Keep tapping!
