Exam Stress

admin

Yes, it’s that time of year again when exams and tests are upon us. Whether it is you going through it or your family, EFT can help you.

Exams
Exams

EFT works by calming down the stress response in our body and clearing any energy blockages. Even just imagining a future stressful event e.g. an exam can trigger our body to go into the stress response. Our adrenaline, noradrenaline and cortisol levels raise, our heart rate and respiration increase, our palms become sweaty etc.

So by tapping we can reduce this stress response in our body, allowing us to focus and concentrate better – just what you need in an exam right?  My recommendation is to tap a lot before the exam. You can do this by imagining sitting in the exam room and notice how you feel. Notice the response in your body.

Example:

If you feel nervous and have butterflies in your stomach & a tightness in your chest then use that.  Here’s what the tapping statements might look like:

  • Even though I feel nervous and have a tight chest and butterflies in my stomach when I think about doing my exam, I accept myself anyway
  • Even though I have a nervous feeling in my stomach as I imagine doing my exam, I choose to let that go
  • Even though I’m nervous and have a tight chest imagining doing my exam, what if it doesn’t have to be like that

Tap through the rounds using a combination of the key feelings and body sensations. Keep tapping and checking in with your bodily reactions.  These may move around your body and the sensations may change as you progress through the tapping rounds.  Keep chasing the sensations until they disappear. When you think you’re done, try to make yourself feel nervous/stressed to clear the issue as much as possible. Imagine the exam as vividly as possible. The idea is that you imagine all the scenarios during the exam, e.g. waiting to go into the room, sitting at your desk, being handed the exam paper, turning the exam paper over, looking around the room, seeing an examiner walk past, getting stuck on a question etc.  Then keep tapping until you can’t feel stressed or worried when you vividly imagine all the aspects or imagining the worst case scenario.

Once all those feelings are cleared you can then imagine feeling calm and doing well in your exam whilst you tap 🙂

Remember you can always use the finger tapping points to very discreetly tap if you do feel nervous or can’t remember something when you’re actually doing your exam.

Keep tapping

Technology Troubles

admin

Today I wanted to shout and scream at my laptop. In fact at one point I was almost ready to toss it out the window! Technology is a marvelous thing – when it works! 🙂 But it can be really frustrating when it doesn’t! In this digital age we always connected via our computers, smart phones etc. Whilst it can be a good thing it can also work against us to.

We can feel increased levels of stress at home with work emails pinging on our phone. If we can’t connect or something goes wrong it can be very stressful especially when we have strict deadlines. So whilst tapping can’t fix your technology troubles (hey it’s not that magic!) it can help calm your stress levels, anger, frustration, anxiety etc.

So step away from the technology – maybe go outside & connect with the real world & do some tapping 🙂

  • I’m so stressed right now
  • I can’t ever switch off
  • I’m really frustrated with my laptop
  • Why does it always go wrong when I have a strict deadline
  • Technology really frustrates me
  • I’m so stressed with my laptop right now
  • Firefox keeps crashing
  • I’m getting way too many emails
  • I never get proper down time
  • I’m always on the go
  • I’m addicted to my technology

I definitely need this tapping today…Firefox crashed halfway through my blog post! Tap, tap, tap.

World Mental Health Day

admin

It was World Mental Health Day yesterday, 10th October. I was tweeting and posting on my Facebook page about it. I thought I’d write a blog post too, to help raise awareness.

There is still a lot of stigma attached to mental health issues, yet 1 in 4 of us will experience a mental health problem in any given year (1).

For many people they are too scared of admitting a problem for fear of the consequences (e.g. at work) or the lack of understanding (“just pull yourself together” – it only it was that easy!).

So please, know that you are not alone.

There is plenty of help available.

It will get better if you seek and are willing to accept help.

In the first instance, it is advisable to contact your GP. They can diagnose and advise.

EFT is very effective at helping with stress and anxiety and even depression.

For more info, check out the following websites:

Mind

Mental Health Foundation

The more we talk about it the less stigma there will be! I used EFT to help me overcome my anxiety. I use it to help me manage my stress levels. I use it daily for my physical, emotional and mental well-being. I wouldn’t be without this incredible tool now.

Just Rant

admin 1 Comment

When was the last time you had a good rant? Sometimes we need to offload stuff and just let it out. We can be overwhelmed and the smallest thing can send us over the edge as it were (dropping a pint of milk for example).

Things have often built up over time but for one reason or another we’ve held it all in. We’re told to soldier on, just get on with it, count our blessings etc.

What happens when we hold it all in is that it festers away and builds up until you reach breaking point. So allow yourself to let it all out. Shout, scream, punch a pillow or just generally get it out.

Of course, being an EFT Practitioner and massive tapping fan, I recommend tapping and ranting at the same time. Or rant first then tap as you run out of steam. You can often get lots of insights by tapping during or after a good old rant.

Now I’m reminded of that Tears For Fears track…Shout, shout let it all out… (1985 – jeez now I feel old!)

Tap Away Your Work Stress

admin

How many times have you been so busy at work that you feel absolutely overwhelmed? Deadlines looming, things going wrong, not enough staff, excessive workload – sound familiar? It sends your stress levels soaring and starts to affect your health, wellbeing and relationships.

Whilst EFT can’t help you with your deadlines it can help your stress levels decrease. Begin by focusing on where you feel your stress in your body. Just scan your body and notice where the tension is. Is it in your shoulders and neck? Do you have a tight knot in your stomach or a lump in your throat? Score that on a scale of 0 – 10. You can use that in your tapping statements, e.g.

  • Even though I have all this stress and tension in my neck and shoulders, I accept myself anyway
  • Even though I have this stress knot gnawing away in my stomach, I’m ok

Now list out all the things that are stressing you out at work, e.g. unachievable timescales, too much work, not enough staff etc.  You can now tap on each one and how you feel about it. E.g.

  • Even though I feel so stressed and overwhelmed because I have too much work to do and it’s just not achievable, I accept myself anyway
  • Even though I have this stress knot gnawing away in my stomach because I have these unachievable timescales, I accept all my feelings

Remember to keep tapping until you feel calmer. Test your results and check how your body feels now. Keep tapping until you get to 0. Think about going back to work and the challenges you know that are there. Tap on anything else that comes up.

Tap on a daily basis to keep your stress levels in check and stop them building up.

If you’d like some help with tapping on your work stress, drop me an email.

Is your weight an emotional issue?

admin 2 Comments

When you think about how to release extra weight, what are the first things that you think of?

Eating better and exercising, right?

I know that’s what most people think of but as EFT Tapping Jessica Ortner says, “Focusing on diet and exercise FIRST when trying to release weight is absolutely the wrong approach.”

You see Jessica has been taking a much different approach towards helping women
and she’s been getting some startlingly good results.

And the latest science and research are proving exactly why her approach works
so well!

Jessica is sharing details on her approach in using EFT Tapping to help women find
and overcome the unconscious emotions, beliefs, traumas and more that keep women from releasing weight in a limited time free webinar presentation that she’s running.

If you’ve never heard about Tapping, she’ll explain exactly what it is, how it works,
and why so many people are using it today with powerful results.

I highly recommend checking this out:

http://thetappingsolution.com/cmd.php?Clk=5057996

Here’s some of what Jessica is sharing in these content-packed presentations:

On the science and research:

– What goes on in the body biologically with negative emotions like stress, anxiety and overwhelm and the specifics of how they affect your weight (How it affects digestion, blood vessels and brain function is fascinating!)

– What happens in your brain that causes you to overeat when you are emotional
(and how to counteract this)

– Why people yo-yo with diets and why they actually put on more weight when going
from diet to diet

And here is some of what she’ll cover on how to use Tapping for Weight Loss:

– How to pinpoint the underlying unconscious blocks to your weight loss and then
eliminate them with Tapping

– How both large and small past traumatic events (some that you might not even
remember) can keep you from feeling safe to lose weight.  (And she’ll show you
how to release these traumas with Tapping)

– How to use Tapping to make any nutritional or exercise program work for you!

– And so much more…

http://thetappingsolution.com/cmd.php?Clk=5057996

Jessica is both extremely passionate about this subject because of her own previous struggle with her weight, as well as extremely knowledgeable on the subject, having coached over 2,000 women in the last year alone.

I hope you check this out.  You’ll be  glad you did:

http://thetappingsolution.com/cmd.php?Clk=5057996

Every woman deserves to be happy and confident in her body, including you.

I think that this presentation can help you get there.

Louise Woods
louise@freeflowingenergy.co.uk

P.S. – Here are two of the hundreds of emails Jessica has received from clients
she has worked with about her approach:

“The results were DRAMATIC. I stopped wanting and eating sugar. I began to WANT to exercise. I lost 11 lbs. within just 2 months. After 5 more months, I’d lost 7 lbs. The day after New Year’s, I stepped on a scale and I had lost another pound instead of gaining anything. In the year since the 2010 TWS, I HAVE NOT DIETED or restricted food AT ALL!” – Rhonda Robinson

“I have struggled for over 15 years with weight fluctuations and emotional issues
surrounding food and body image. Through working with Jessica, I was able to discover the root cause of my eating/body issues and understand how to move forward.

Not only is there a physical transformation, but also a significant emotional weight
loss as well…” – Christine Haskin

Tapping Solution Book

admin 1 Comment

I just finished watching a trailer for a new book about EFT Tapping, that was inspiring, captivating and eye-opening, and it reminded me about how we have the power, each and every day, to completely transform our lives:

http://thetappingsolution.com/cmd.php?Clk=5023046

The book, already a #1 Amazon bestseller for Stress Management is called “The Tapping Solution”, and it’s written by tapping expert Nick Ortner.

Tapping Solution Book

The book has the same name as Nick’s extremely popular film The Tapping Solution,
which has sold over 90,000 copies worldwide, but I can tell you…this book is very different from the film!  🙂

This new book will take you step-by-step, using both beginner and advanced tapping techniques, through a transformative process that will improve your life by leaps and bounds.

Whether you’re new to Tapping, or you’ve been Tapping for years, I highly recommend
you check out this book as it has some amazing new distinctions about how Tapping can be most effective for you today.

Here’s what I love about this new book…

1 – For starters, during the launch period for his new book, Nick is giving away some
amazing bonuses for anybody who picks up the book online, and some even more
ridiculous bonuses for those that actually go into a book store to pick it up.

You can check them all out here:

http://thetappingsolution.com/cmd.php?Clk=5023046

2 – If you’ve ever doubted for a second that Tapping works, then you need to read
the latest science and research that is shared in this book because it will amaze
you!

It will have you (and those around you who wonder about Tapping) going, “Duh,
of course it works!”  🙂

3 – The book comes highly recommended by a number of experts who were given
the opportunity to read it before it’s release.

Experts like: Wayne Dyer, Louise Hay, Cheryl Richardson, Dr. Mark Hyman,
Dr. Eric Robbins, David Feinstein, Ph.D., Kris Carr, Dr. Christiane Northrup, Joe
Vitale, Arielle Ford, Chip Conley, the list goes on and on… (you can read what these
experts have said about the book on the page below).

4 – Nick is donating 100% of his royalties from sales of the book right now to the
Tapping Solution for Newtown: Stress and Trauma Relief Project, helping those most
affected by the December 14th school shooting (Nick actually lives in Newtown, CT)

He has already donated over $10,000 to the Jesse Lewis Choose Love Foundation
(started by Scarlett Lewis, who lost her son Jesse in that tragic event) from presales of
the book.

You can actually see a video of Nick and Scarlett on the page here:

http://thetappingsolution.com/cmd.php?Clk=5023046

5 – Because it’s an easy-to-read and extremely enjoyable book that can have a profound impact on your life today…

This book is a must-have for everybody.  It’s sure to be a classic that people refer
to for years…

http://thetappingsolution.com/cmd.php?Clk=5023046

Enjoy,

P.S. – All of the extremely valuable bonuses are only being offered for a limited time during this launch period for the book, so make sure to pick up a copy right away.

Picking up the book just to get access to the bonuses, like the four live 90 minute calls on money, pain relief, relationships and weight loss, are more than worth the price of the book.

Keep Tapping!

Start Your Day the Tappy Way

admin 1 Comment

Want your day to start out better? A great way to achieve this is to tap first thing in the morning. Your tapping can be about the things you know you have to do that day & any concerns/worries/stress you have about that. E.g.

  • Even though I’m worried because I have that important meeting today…
  • Even though I’m stressed with my work load and today is going to be manic…
  • Even though I’m anxious about doing…

You get the idea. Think about your day & tap on anything that is bothering you.

Once you’ve tapped on all that “stuff” you might like to try tapping in some positives. E.g.

  • Even though I’m doing X today, I choose to stay calm
  • Even though I’ve got a busy day, I can get it all done easily
  • Even though I’m stressed about my workload, maybe I can feel calmer and still get it done

If you’d like some help, just drop me an email.

Happy tapping

Fear Of Crowds

admin 2 Comments

Do you have a fear of crowds? Or being around a lot of people? If you are a highly sensitive person you are more likely to be affected by the energy of other people especially when there are a lot of people in one place.

Here is a tapping script that can help if you suffer with this fear.

  • Even though I have this fear of crowds, I’m ok
  • Even though I have this fear of being around a lot of people, I accept myself anyway
  • Even though I’m so scared in a crowd, I’m ok

EB: I have this fear of crowds
SE: I hate being surrounded by lots of people
UE: I feel so overwhelmed when I’m in a crowd
UN: I feel so scared when I’m surrounded by people
CH: I feel like everyone is in my space
CB: I feel really anxious in a crowd
UA: I can’t breathe when I’m in a squashed amongst lots of people
TH: I feel like I’m lost when I’m in a crowd

Crowd

EB: My heart rate shoots up when I’m in a crowd
SE: I start to feel sick
UE: My stomach churns when I’m with lots of people
UN: It feels like there is no room for me in a crowd
CH: I hate feeling overwhelmed by lots of people
CB: My palms sweat and I get really anxious in a crowd
UA: I feel so lost and scared
TH: I just want to run away if there are lots of people

EB: I hate having this fear of crowds
SE: It restricts my life
UE: I can’t even go shopping
UN: Or to the cinema
CH: I hate feeling this way about crowds
CB: I wish I was ok in crowds
UA: I hate having this restriction in my life
TH: I wish crowds didn’t bother me

What symptoms do you feel?

Use those words to really tune in to how it feels for you.  Keep tapping on all the different aspects until your fear is at a zero. Try imagining being in a crowd and check your body has no response. If it does then tap some more on whatever comes up. Test it for real only once you can get no response from detailed imagining!

Tapping World Summit 2013

admin

Last Chance (Learn About EFT for Free)

I just wanted to send two “last chance” reminders that I highly recommend taking action on…

First off, the 5th annual, 2013 Tapping World Summit starts in just 3 days, which means that this is your last chance to register for this 100% free on-line event before it starts.

I posted what some of the attendees from the previous 4 summits had to say about this event on the bottom of this email, so that you can see for yourself just how life-changing this event really is…

To register for this event right now just go here:

http://thetappingsolution.com/cmd.php?Clk=4961443

Secondly, there is a phenomenal upgrade option for the 2013 Tapping World Summit,
where you can own the recordings for the event in MP3 or CD format and also get the
over 200 page workbook, the transcripts for the presentations and a number of
powerful bonuses…

And this year, since there was such amazing feedback on the pre-event video series which featured Louise Hay, Dr. Mark Hyman, and Nick Ortner…

The producers of the event decided to make the three pre-event videos, along with
the remaining 10 videos in the Tapping World Summit Video Series, available as a special pre-event bonus for all those who upgrade before the event starts on February 4th.

So this is a last chance reminder that if you want to own the entire 14 videos in the series, which include over 8 hours of streaming or downloadable video with experts Nick Ortner, Louise Hay, Dr. Mark Hyman, Kris Carr, Jack Canfield, Bob Proctor, Bruce Lipton, Cheryl Richardson, Joe Vitale, Dr. Joseph Mercola, Carol Look, Patricia Carrington, Carol Tuttle and Dawson Church, you need to make sure to take action right away.

The best part of this is that since there’s a 90-day money-back guarantee there is zero risk involved in upgrading today.

And if you do decide to ask for a refund (unlikely that you’ll want to once you listen to the information) then you’ll still get to keep the amazing video and audio bonuses.

To get more details on the event, the upgrade bonuses and the limited time pre-event video bonuses, just click on the link below:

http://thetappingsolution.com/cmd.php?Clk=4961443

(You’ll need to register first for the online live event, if you haven’t already, to see the video bonuses and the upgrade option)

I hope you decide to take advantage of the limited time video bonuses and upgrade before the event starts.

The Tapping World Summit upgrade options alone are ridiculous values (the platinum upgrade comes with 23 CD’s, a 200 page workbook, transcripts, and 10 audio bonuses) and when you add on these great video bonuses, upgrading becomes a no brainer…

http://thetappingsolution.com/cmd.php?Clk=4961443

Just so you know, over 210,000 new people have already registered for this massive online event in the last  2 weeks!

EFT is a one-of-a-kind technique that creates life-altering results for those who use it…

Enjoy the event.  I look forward to seeing you there! 🙂

Louise Woods

P.S. – Here is some of the feedback from previous year’s summits, just to give you an idea of what people think about this event…

“What a wonderful ten days!  I need to tap on withdrawals from missing the interviews.
“Jessica was a fabulous interviewer, asking just what I wanted to know at the right time.” -Suzanne Wright – Oregon,USA

“I hope you guys can somehow hear the thunderous applause that is surely circling the
world for you right now.  This was a DYNAMITE event, and this grand finale with Jessica today was just fantastic. You guys are the absolute best, you have given phenomenal gifts here with each presentation, and may you receive a thousand
blessings in return. EFT has never come alive for me the way you’ve made it do in these last ten days. I am very, very grateful, and yes, I will keep tapping and will tell you what lights come on, what doors open in the coming months.”
~With much love, Natasha Suter – Ithaca, New York

“This trip has been amazing. I am so thankful that you gave me the opportunity to be a part of this, and I will continue to tap – and maybe take an education in EFT later on.  Fantastic.  A few weeks ago I tapped on hip pain, and it disappeared within a couple of minutes!!

“Every session have been useful to me, and I will look more into it (I have written it all down) when I finish my education in September. Jessica’s 40 day tapping challenge will be done. Her “mystery bonus audio” was a special experience.  It helped me see a lot of experiences/feelings to tap on.” ~ Merete – Bodo, Norway

“OMG! That summit was amazing! I just wanted to say thank you, thank you! I knew
about EFT from when I was in LA but I now know so much more and I had ah-ha moments almost everyday! especially the one series about Highly Sensitive People – which I found out I am and have been beating myself up about it forever!  Now I know how to tap for it and realize its a blessing to be so connected to my feelings and intuition!

“I loved, loved, loved the whole series! you are so kind to put all of this information out
there and for free- I know this is huge for me and for the world! I can sense huge changes a-brewing! I kinda miss it already! Tell Jessica I am doing the 40 day challenge… this is exciting…who knows where I will be in 40 days!
Thank you again!”~ Love, Christine en route to New York City, NY USA

admin

The Christmas build-up has started! The decorations are up in the town centres, shops are getting busier and the stress has started to build! Have you felt it yet? Well, if not – lucky you! If you have then it is time to start some tapping…

Here are some ideas to help you with the Christmas build-up stress:

  • Even though I’m starting to feel stressed about Christmas, I’m ok
  • Even though I haven’t started shopping yet, there’s still time
  • Even though the thought of going Christmas shopping stresses me out, I choose to be able to stay calm
  • Even though I hate all the crowds and the rushing about, I choose to remain calm
  • Even though I feel stressed by all the people pushing and shoving, I choose to remain in my own little bubble
  • Even though it’s so stressful having to do all this preparation, I accept myself anyway
  • Even though my stress levels are starting to soar, what if I could feel calmer
  • Even though there’s not enough time to get everything done, I choose to manage ok
  • Even though I do this to myself every year and NEVER learn, I’m open to that changing

I hope that this helps you stay a little calmer as you do your Christmas shopping and preparations!

Get Physical

admin

The other day I had one of those days… I was constantly interrupted and hassled by colleagues, the phone didn’t stop ringing and I couldn’t seem to get a minutes peace to concentrate on the task I was doing. By the end of the day my head was pounding and I felt really stressed.

I finger tapped all the way home – which is an hour-long drive. By the time I got home I felt much better. I could have tapped some more when I got home but I really felt like I needed to do something more physical. So I decided to dig out my boxercise DVD and punch and shout my remaining stress and frustration out.

Get Physical

It was superb! There is nothing like moving your body and releasing in this way. It was really physical which is exactly what my body was telling me I needed. As I punched  and yelled along I could feel myself relaxing and letting go of the day I’d had.

Sometimes you just have to move your body to release your stuck energy. This was one of those times & I’m so grateful I listened to what my body needed. By the end of the workout I felt fantastic & much lighter.

You can get more physical using EFT too. Try standing up or walking around as you tap. Try shouting and yelling to release your anger, stress or frustration. After tapping several rounds try tapping using the flat of your palm all over your body – up and down your arms, torso and legs. Try shaking your hands, arms, legs and feet after tapping to release any stuck energy. Do whatever feels right to you.

I often finger tap whilst walking or running.  I love being out in the fresh air and feeling my energy start to flow better.

Most importantly – listen to what your body needs. Many of us spend long hours stuck at a desk or driving. Moving our body is natural and important for our energy to flow freely. Remember to get physical and move it, move it, move it! 🙂

How to Get Over the Stress of Health Anxiety

Guest Blog

How to Get Over the Stress of Health Anxiety

Google is a valuable tool, but Google has also caused the development of a serious problem for those that have been living with anxiety symptoms: severe health anxiety.

Health anxiety has always been a thing. It’s something that affects many people living with anxiety or panic attacks (especially panic attacks), because the symptoms of anxiety can feel so severe that many people struggle to believe that they’re anxiety related.

But what’s made it worse is the ability to Google symptoms. The biggest problem is not just hypochondria in the traditional sense – people aren’t necessarily looking up diseases and psychosomatically causing the symptoms of those diseases. Rather, severe anxiety can cause physical symptoms that genuinely resemble some very serious health problems, the most common being:

  • MS
  • Brain Tumors
  • Heart Failure/Attack

It’s possible that symptoms mimic other diseases as well, like lime disease or some type of tumor. But those three health issues have nearly identical symptoms to anxiety, and so many people that suffer from anxiety eventually convince themselves that they have one of these disorders.

That can create some severe health anxiety, and severe health anxiety leads to even more physical symptoms. It’s not uncommon to find those living with health anxiety spending most of every day thinking about their health.

Stopping the Cycle of Health Anxiety

Health anxiety can be very hard to turn off. Seeing your doctor is step one. Remember, your doctor has seen people with MS, brain tumors, and heart attacks. If they’re worried, they’ll order tests. If they’re not worried, they won’t.

Trust your doctor. If they don’t order a CT scan, chances are it’s because they’ve seen people with MS and brain tumors and your issues seem like anxiety. It’s easy to tell yourself “they didn’t check, so it’s still there” but doctors are trained to look for medically serious issues, and if they’re not worried, you shouldn’t be either.

Your next steps are to try each of the following:

  • Start Exercising – This is incredibly important. Exercise is a profound stress reduction tool, and it will give you the opportunity to focus on your health more so that you will worry about it less in the future. Exercising releases endorphins which reduce anxiety, and the more you are dedicated to your health, the less you’ll be bothered with health stress.
  • Participate in Anxiety Forums – There are several valuable anxiety forums filled with people that dealt with your exact same thoughts. Participating in those forums can be a lifesaver, as many of them will share how their stories are exactly like yours and how they were finally able to accept that they have anxiety.
  • Learn About Health Anxiety – Did you know that you can suffer from severe anxiety physical symptoms even when know anxiety is present? One of the main contributors to health anxiety is how hard it is to believe that the frightening symptoms you experience are caused by anxiety.

Anxiety treatments need to focus on two things: Coming to the realization that it’s highly unlikely that you have any health problem, and realizing that you need to stop concerning yourself with your health.

The latter is another issues that those with health anxiety need to realize: You probably don’t have MS, or a brain tumor, or a serious heart condition (especially if the doctor has ruled them out). But you could get them tomorrow, because anyone can get them at any time. The question you need to ask yourself is: if tomorrow you did get a serious health problem, do you want to look back at your past and realize that you spent all your time worrying about your health?

Your goal is to live a happy life. Those with health anxiety need to realize that every day spent obsessing over their health is a day wasted in the event they did have a health problem. As long as you’re exercising, eating healthy, and going to the doctor for regular checkups, you’re doing everything you can. Learn to spend the rest of your time in a way that makes you happy.

About the Author: Ryan Rivera’s severe panic attack symptoms caused him significant health anxiety. He now writes on a website about anxiety at calmclinic.com

Thanks for a wonderful article Ryan – some great tips there.

Stop Judging Yourself

admin 2 Comments

Recently I was beating myself up for responding to stress in a way that used to serve me. I thought I had released that stress response from my system. I did some EFT with one of my tapping buddies. Out of that tapping I became aware of sadness at responding in the old way. I also realised that I was judging myself for responding in this way. I also realised that judging myself was a familiar pattern too.

We tapped together to release the sadness and self judgement. The old response used to serve me well and stop me getting too stressed by forcing me to stop (I’d get a stomach bug or bad cold). I no longer have that old level of stress in my life, yet at times I still respond like I used to. I was effectively beating myself up for still responding in the old way. Out of our session together I was able to release my sadness, self judgement and develop a sense of inner peace.

I became aware of the need to listen to my body more carefully and more often. That way I can become aware of any emotions or stress building up and listen without judgement.

We often judge ourselves instead of accepting and allowing our emotions to flow. So if you judge yourself at times for feeling certain emotions or reacting in certain ways then tapping can definitely benefit you. Try some of the following statements to help you stop judging yourself:

  • Even though I’m judging myself for feeling {emotion} I deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway
  • Even though I’m judging myself because I reacted in that old way, I’m open to being kind to myself and letting go of this judgement
  • Even though I always judge myself instead of accepting these feelings, I’m open to the possibility of accepting all of me

Tap through all of the related emotions until you feel a sense of peace and self acceptance. We are often very self-critical and self judging. So make this tapping a priority if this is an issue for you.

I wish you self acceptance and peace.

Keep tapping
