Have you had the experience where you walk into a room and it feels as if the world has started looking past you?
The voice that used to be heard first now waits to be noticed.
Maybe there are things you used to do without a second thought.
And now there's a small hesitation.
A quiet loss of confidence that you cannot quite explain.
This is your EFT tapping session for confidence in your next chapter.
Not to push away the uncertainty,
But to soften it.
To release the old stories about who you're supposed to be at this age.
And to make room for who you are becoming.
Find a comfortable physician.
Let your body settle.
Close your eyes if that feels comfortable.
Take a slow breath in through your nose.
And a long breath out through your mouth.
Again,
Breathing in.
And letting go.
One more time.
Inhale slowly.
And exhale fully.
I invite you to relax fully into this moment.
Before we begin tapping,
Notice how you feel right now.
The invisibility,
The hesitation.
Quiet sense that something has shifted in how the world sees you.
Give that feeling a number from 0 to 10.
Pretend being completely held back by these feelings.
It's stopping you from taking action in the world.
Zero,
Being confident and open to what is coming.
Embracing your aging with grace and trust.
Note that number.
We're going to move it.
Bring your fingers to the karate chop point on the side of your hand and begin tapping gently,
Repeating after me.
Even though I feel invisible right now.
Even though I feel invisible right now.
I choose to be gentle with myself.
I choose to be gentle with myself.
Even though I've lost some of my confidence as I age.
Even though I've lost some of my confidence as I age.
I am still here.
And I still matter.
I am still here.
And I still matter.
Even though I'm not sure who I'm becoming.
Even though I'm not sure who I'm becoming.
I'm open to what is possible.
I am open to what is possible.
Stop tapping on the karate chop point.
And bring your fingers to the inner edge of your eyebrows.
Begin tapping softly and repeating after me.
I feel less visible.
I feel less visible.
Tapping on the side of the eye.
It feels like the world looks past me.
It feels like the world looks past me.
Tapping under the eye.
I used to feel so sure and so confident.
I used to feel so sure and so confident.
Tappy under the nose.
Now I hesitate.
Now I hesitate.
Tapping on the chin.
Aging is hard and it makes me feel invisible.
Aging is hard.
And it makes me feel invisible.
Tapping on the collarbone.
I am not sure what comes next for me.
I am not sure what comes next for me.
Tapping under the arm,
I'm still finding my way.
I'm still finding my way.
Tapping on the top of the head.
But what if I could enjoy this journey?
But what if I could enjoy this journey?
Stop tapping.
Take a slow breath in.
And release it completely.
Bring your fingers to the inner eyebrow and start tapping and repeating after me.
I release the fear of being unseen.
I release the fear of being unseen.
Tapping on the side of the eye.
I release the old stories.
I release the old stories.
Tapping under the eye.
About who I should be by now.
About who I should be by now.
Tapping under the nose.
I don't need permission to grow.
I don't need permission to grow.
Tapping on the chin.
I release the need.
To have it all figured out.
I release the need to have it all figured out.
Tapping on the collarbone.
My voice still matters.
My voice still matters.
Tapping under the arm.
I release what was to make room for what can be.
I release what was.
To make room for what can be.
Tapping on the top of the head.
I am open to what is coming.
I am open to what is coming.
Stop tapping.
Take a breath in.
And release slowly and completely.
Moving to the inner eyebrow.
We'll move into our final round of tapping.
I am open.
To the changes.
And to aging.
And to the journey ahead.
I am open.
To the changes,
And to aging,
And to the journey ahead.
Tapping on the side of the eye.
My wisdom is still here.
My wisdom is still here.
Tapping under the eye.
My voice is here and strong.
My voice is here and strong.
Tapping under the nose.
I am ready to step forward with confidence.
I am ready to step forward with confidence.
Tapping on the chin,
I welcome my next chapter.
I welcome my next chapter.
Tapping on the collarbone.
I belong in the room.
I belong in the room.
Tapping under the arm.
I am someone worth hearing.
I am someone worth hearing.
And tapping on the top of the head.
My next chapter is beginning now.
My next chapter is beginning now.
Stop tapping.
Take one long,
Slow breath in.
And let it go completely.
Release any stress.
Release any worry.
Feel yourself open to possibility.
Let your hands rest where they fall.
Let your face soften and relax.
If your jaw is tight and clench it.
Let your shoulders drop.
Your whole body settle.
Take a moment just to appreciate yourself.
And to be here,
Fully present.
At this time.
Now I invite you to check back in with that number from 0 to 10.
Where are you now?
Can you notice a shift?
Even if it's a small one.
Is the fear a little quieter?
The hesitation a little softer.
Check in and see where that number is for you at this time.
And if it hasn't moved as much as you'd like.
You can repeat this tapping as often as you choose.
It's here for you when you need it.
In some traditions.
This season of change is called a second spring.
Not an ending,
An emergence.
The woman you're becoming.
Has access to everything that the younger version of you is still working towards.
The confidence that comes from having lived through hard things.
The clarity that comes from knowing what actually matters.
Freedom that comes from caring less about what people in the room think of you and more about what you think of yourself.
That is not decline.
That is power.
Your wisdom is still here.
Your voice can grow stronger.
And your next chapter is already beginning.
Follow me here on Insight Timer for more practices to support your confidence and your next chapter.
Until then.
Walk into the room like you belong there.
Because you do.
