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.
Keep tapping!
