Welcoming In The New Year

It seems that whenever we approach a new year, we are filled both with hope and maybe a bit of regret and sadness. Regret for the things we didn't accomplish, or relationships that didn't turn out the way we'd hoped, or goals that didn't materialize. Hope that the new year will be filled with excitement, joy, and interesting challenges we feel we can face with confidence.

I created this EFT (tapping) script to help release any regret, sadness, or anxiety about the past year, and with hope as we look forward to the new year.

Take a slow breath in and out.

Place one hand on your heart.

Set the intention to release the old year with compassion and welcome the new one with clarity,

I deeply and completely accept myself.
