Good morning.
Before the day gets loud,
Before the notifications,
The to-do lists,
The mental chatter of everything waiting for you,
Let's just take a few minutes to clear the slate and begin with intention.
This is your morning tapping reset.
And the quality of attention you bring to everything that follows will be completely different for it.
Find a comfortable position.
You might still be in bed.
Sitting on the edge.
Or settled in your favorite chair.
Wherever you are is perfect.
Close your eyes.
Take a slow breath in through your nose.
And release it fully through your mouth.
And another,
Deeper this time?
And let it go completely.
Just notice for a moment how you feel right now,
Before the day has asked anything of you.
Is there heaviness?
Are you stressed?
Is there a sense of pressure already forming at the edges?
Whatever there is,
Just notice it.
We're going to clear it.
On a scale of 0 to 10,
Where 0 is completely clear.
And 10 is feeling completely cluttered,
Scattered,
Or stressed.
Where's your mind right now?
Note the number.
Let's shift it.
Bring your fingers to the karate chop point.
The fleshy side of your hand just below your pinky finger.
And begin tapping gently as we say our setup statement together.
I'll say it once and then you repeat after me.
Even though my mind is already busy this morning.
Even though my mind is already busy this morning.
I choose to begin this day with clarity and ease.
I choose to begin this day with clarity and ease.
Even though there is a lot waiting for me today,
I choose to meet it from a place of calm and presence.
Even though I'm not fully awake yet.
Even though I'm not fully awake yet I welcome this new day with an open and clear mind.
I welcome this new day with an open and clear mind.
Good.
Let your hand rest.
Now,
Bring your fingers to the inner edge of your eyebrow.
Tapping and repeating after me.
All the thoughts already arriving this morning.
All the thoughts already arriving this morning.
Moving to the side of the eye.
Everything on my mind before the day has even begun.
Everything on my mind before the day has even begun.
Toppling under the eye.
The things I need to do.
The things I need to do.
Tapping under the nose.
The conversations already forming in my head.
The conversations already forming in my head.
Tapping on the chin,
This low hum of mental noise,
This low hum of mental noise.
Tapping on the collarbone.
So much already competing for my attention.
So much already competing for my attention.
Tapping under the arm,
All of it arriving before I've even had a moment for myself.
All of it arriving before I've even had a moment for myself.
Tapping on the top of the head,
I acknowledge all of it.
And I'm choosing to set it down.
I acknowledge all of it,
And I'm choosing to set it down.
Stop tapping.
Take a breath in.
And release.
Tapping once again on the eyebrow.
My mind is beginning to quiet.
My mind is beginning to quiet.
Tapping on the side of the eye.
The morning noise is settling.
The morning noise is settling.
Tapping under the eye.
I don't need to hold all of it right now.
I don't need to hold all of it right now.
Tapping under the nose.
Those things will still be there when I need them.
Those things will still be there when I need them.
Tapping on the chin.
Right now there is only this moment.
Right now,
There is only this moment.
Tapping on the collarbone,
This breath,
This stillness,
This beginning.
This breath,
This stillness,
This beginning.
Tapping under the arm.
I am allowed to start my day from a place of ease.
I am allowed to start my day from a place of ease.
And tapping on the top of the head.
My mind is clear.
My day is mine.
My mind is clear.
My day is mine.
Stop tapping.
Take your breath in.
And release fully.
In this final round of tapping,
We're going to activate.
So starting with the eyebrow.
I am present and clear.
I am present and clear.
Moving to the side of the eye,
I begin this day with intention.
I begin this day with intention.
Tapping under the eye.
My mind is sharp and open.
My mind is sharp and open.
Tapping under the nose,
I bring my full attention to what matters most today.
I bring my full attention to what matters most today.
Tapping on the chin.
I am calm,
Focused,
And ready.
I am calm,
Focused,
And ready.
Tapping on the collarbone.
Today I will do meaningful work.
Today,
I will do meaningful work.
Tapping under the arm,
I show up fully for my work,
For the people I love,
And for myself.
I show up fully for my work.
For the people I love and for myself.
And tapping on the top of the head.
This is going to be a good day.
I am grateful.
This is going to be a good day.
I am grateful.
Stop tapping.
Take a long,
Slow breath in.
And release completely.
Let your hands rest.
Let your face soften.
Check back in with that number from the beginning.
0 to 10.
Where is your mind now?
Notice the difference.
That shift happened in eight minutes.
That is what becomes available to you every single morning.
When you begin with intention rather than reaction Before you open your eyes,
Just take one more moment to set your intention for today not your whole to-do list,
Just one thing,
The most important thing you want to move forward before this day is done.
Hold that intention.
Carry it with you.
Take a final breath in.
And when you are ready,
Open your eyes.
Good morning.
Go make it a great one.
