We all know that eating at least 5 a day helps us stay healthy. But what if we just don’t enjoy fruit or vegetables that much? What if we don’t naturally look for fruit when we are hungry & seek instead something sweet & chocolatey?
Well there is hope! EFT can be very useful when it comes to helping us choose healthy foods. Generally chocolate and cakes etc give people some sort of comfort. You might like to look at what drives you to eat this kind of comfort food. You can use tapping to help you identify the triggers to this kind of eating.
In the meantime, here’s a tapping script that can help you choose to eat more fruit and vegetables.
Tap on the Karate Chop whilst repeating three times:
Even though I don’t naturally reach for fruit, I’m open to accepting myself anyway
Even though I’d rather eat a chocolate bar than an apple, I’m ok
Even though I’m finding it hard to eat fruit and vegetables, I accept my feelings about this
Eyebrow: I just don’t think about eating fruit Side of Eye: I’d rather eat a chocolate bar {or your comfort food} Under Eye: I find it so hard to eat fruit and vegetables Under Nose: It’s so easy to reach for a cake instead Chin: I just don’t fancy eating fruit Collarbone: Why is it so hard for me to eat healthily Under Arm: It’s so hard to eat enough fruit and veg Top of Head: I don’t naturally look for fruit to satisfy my hunger
Eyebrow: I’m open to letting it be easier Side of Eye: Maybe I can enjoy fruit more Under Eye: Maybe if I plan things better, I’ll enjoy eating fruit more Under Nose: What if I started enjoying fruit more Chin: I know I’d feel healthier if I ate more fruit Collarbone: Maybe I can choose different fruit Under Arm: What if I felt satisfied after eating some fruit Top of Head: I wonder if I can enjoy fruit more
Repeat using your words where appropriate. Ask yourself some questions like:
What does chocolate {or insert your comfort food} do for me?
Why do I need to feel comforted by food?
What am I trying to comfort with food?
Remember to tap on any emotions that come up until you feel they have been fully addressed. You can use the choices method to help you choose to eat more fruit and veg. E.g. Even though I still naturally choose other food, I choose to reach for fruit more often.
Whether or not you are celebrating Easter in the traditional way or just enjoying some Easter eggs, I wish you an enjoyable time! I am looking forward to spending time with my family and friends. It is easy to get caught up in the day-to-day grind and not make the time to spend doing things we enjoy. So how about you treat yourself this Easter to some quality time doing something you enjoy. Go on spoil yourself – you deserve it!
If you don’t think you do deserve it then perhaps consider tapping on that! EFT can help us with how we feel about ourselves. If you are too tempted by all the chocolate that is around at this time of year then EFT can help with that too! EFT is such a flexible tool and it is always there for you at the end of your fingertips.
Whatever you do this Easter, I hope you enjoy yourself and remember to make some time to tap. 🙂
Ok, it’s been a few weeks since I created my food cravings video and blog post. I just wanted to give you some of my feedback since that blog & video. Whilst I do love chocolate, I wouldn’t say I felt I had a problem with chocolate. Sometimes I’d really fancy it and other times I could take it or leave it. I would get a craving for it at certain times of the month, like a lot of women. My boyfriend would even joke with me at those times if I was getting a bit grouchy and say “quick it’s time to break out the emergency chocolate”!!!
I can report that I didn’t have any of that this past month. No chocolate cravings. No feeling grouchy before my period.
I have also just completed my usual January detox again and usually have a bit of craving for certain food afterwards, chocolate being one of them. I finished my detox and didn’t feel like chocolate. I just wanted to carry on eating really healthily like I had been for the past month.
Hmmm, I was thinking what’s different? Then I remembered. I’d created that blog & video! Could that be it? It seemed too simple. I didn’t create that blog & video for me – I wasn’t tapping on my stuff…or was I?
Whilst I’m not sure if this is a permanent thing, it sure is interesting. So maybe a word of warning would be – don’t tap on your food cravings unless you’re sure you don’t want to eat that food again!
I love EFT and the wonderful ways it works. Happy tapping!
