If you found this EFT tapping track,
There's a good chance you're running on empty.
Let's address that now.
I find it best to repeat back aloud each phrase during the pause as I tap.
But if you prefer to just think along,
That is okay too.
For those unfamiliar with EFT,
I have recorded the same track as this with additional beginner's point guidance.
So if you prefer to visit that version,
You can through my profile.
In this track,
We will begin by tapping on the side of hand point.
I will tell you when we move away from this point and then you are free to move through the rest of the points as you see fit.
Let's start gently tapping on the side of our hand or karate chop point now.
And repeat after me.
Even though I feel so deeply exhausted.
Maybe even my soul feels tired.
And I don't know how much longer I can keep going like this.
Because I'm just running on empty.
And even though I feel this deep exhaustion,
Even though I am just so burned out,
I am choosing to deeply and completely love,
Accept and forgive myself anyway.
Have I been hit by a double-decker bus?
Have I been hit by a train?
Or is this just burnout?
I really wish I felt better right now.
And so I choose to be open to tapping through this right now.
We'll now move to the top of the head point.
This heaviness in my body this deep,
Deep exhaustion.
Maybe it's like I've sunk downwards into the deepest ocean of exhaustion.
Way down to the bottom where it's so dark and the pressure here is so dense.
I choose to accept myself here anyways.
I allow myself to embrace this place I am in,
Wherever this might be.
Maybe there is even a kind of peacefulness here right now.
And even so,
I trust that I won't stay here forever,
Just as long as I need to recover.
And then I can push back up off the ocean floor and swim back up to the surface again.
I am open to that being in my future.
Maybe I've been running on empty for such a long time now.
Maybe this exhaustion has been here longer than I want to admit.
Maybe I'm even a little scared.
Have I taken it too far this time?
And now my body and my mind are saying enough.
Maybe I've been giving and giving and giving.
And somewhere along the way,
I forgot to give anything back to myself.
And no matter how I got here,
Today I choose to meet myself with love and acceptance.
And I choose to acknowledge how hard this feels.
So even though I feel burned out,
Maybe I feel like I have nothing left to give.
Today I am choosing to work with my exhaustion,
Not push past it,
Not push past my fears,
Not try to fix it,
But to accept myself within it.
Maybe the first step to feeling better is being honest with myself and letting myself feel where I actually am.
What if I allowed myself to feel total acceptance for this moment?
And I choose to trust that even though it may feel hard,
I am safe and capable to feel it anyway.
Maybe I am also safe and capable of feeling supported,
To feel held,
To feel like I don't have to do everything alone.
What if I could meet myself with complete acceptance?
With complete love and compassion?
Right here,
Right now,
As much as I possibly can,
I choose to do this.
What if I don't have to keep pushing right now?
What if I don't have to solve anything right now?
What if all this pressure I've been carrying,
The pressure to keep going,
The pressure to not fall behind,
The pressure to be or do,
Could be put down for just a moment?
Like a heavy backpack,
I could take it off and throw it down into the dirt and just take a moment to breathe.
Because maybe I've been carrying more than even I realized.
Maybe life has been sneaking rocks into that backpack and it's time to unload.
I choose to unload anything I have been carrying that I did not choose right now.
Maybe that's other people's emotions,
Opinions or burdens.
Maybe that's even some of my own.
And if there is any part of me that thinks I could be handling this better or worries that I could be deficient or not being able to just handle everything perfectly,
I am choosing to give that part a big juicy hug too.
And I choose to let go.
I choose to know that some parts of me are just not ready to be handled.
When scared,
Criticized or exhausted,
Might try to lash out at me.
And I get to love them anyway.
I get to see that they are trying to keep me safe too.
Even if it's in some weird fucked up way.
What if I'm allowed to be the tiredest little slug right now?
But I'm not allowed to pour salt on this little slug?
Self-criticism is salt on the slug.
And from here forward,
I choose to stop salting my wounds.
What if I am allowed to feel this pressure?
Maybe even Iron Man would feel like this.
And just like Iron Man gets to take off his suit and go home sometimes,
Maybe he even just sits down.
And has a cup of tea and a good cry.
Maybe I get to do that too.
I am allowed to let some of this go.
I insist that I let some of this go.
And within all of this,
This exhaustion,
This burnout,
I'm willing to consider that I am still worth taking care of.
When I am tired or depleted,
I am worth taking care of.
On days where I drop the ball or underperform,
I am still worth being loved.
Even right now,
I'm worth it.
So maybe today,
I'm not where I'm supposed to be.
I'm not where I want to be yet.
Maybe I wish I wasn't exhausted.
And maybe that's okay.
What if,
No matter what,
The truth is this?
I'm moving in the right direction.
I am safe to let go.
I am safe to be in this moment of depletion with myself.
Maybe I don't have to figure it all out today.
Maybe I can take just one soft step forwards.
Today,
I came here for myself.
And I choose to keep showing up for myself every single day.
Because maybe I am worthy of love and care and rest.
Maybe I am allowed to slow down.
I am allowed to put down my stresses for a time.
And I want to let myself know,
Even if today feels hard,
I am going to be okay.
I am choosing to be okay.
I am choosing to be okay.
And that is this session complete.
Well done.
