Have you been feeling frustrated during the past 12 months of lockdowns and restrictions? Fed up with homeschooling? Working from home? Too many zoom meetings and too much screen time? Not being able to go to places and do things that you want? Hate wearing a mask? Angry with the government? With people who don’t take social distancing as seriously as you do?
We have all felt our individual frustrations and even anger due to the unprecedented pandemic situation we have been in. EFT tapping can help! Here is a tapping script to get you started.
*If you are new to tapping, first watch some of my free videos to learn how to tap.*
Please bear in mind these tips for using tapping scripts effectively:
· Tapping scripts are a guide, to give you ideas of what to say. Tailor it to resonate with YOUR feelings and words. If something doesn’t resonate with you, leave it out or change it to something that works for you. Be specific not global (‘frustrated with too many Zoom meetings’, not just ‘frustrated’).
· If you get triggered or overwhelmed, drop the words and KEEP TAPPING. Just use No-Words Tapping until you feel calm, and seek the help of a qualified EFT practitioner or other healthcare professional.
· Say the words out loud as you tap on each of the points.
· Before you tap, rate your feeling on the topic from 0-10 where 0 is no intensity and 10 is very high intensity. Each time through the points rate it again. Keep repeating the tapping script, changing the words as you need, until you reach 1 or 0. If you get stuck around a 4 or 5, probably something else is coming up – please reach out if you need help.
