EFT Tapping: I Am Not Lazy

Calling ourselves lazy is not kind, and rarely helpful, and yet it's a label some of us often level against ourselves. And this session is here to challenge it. In this session, we tap through the guilt of needing rest and the label you've put on yourself for slowing down and being a real human being who has needs and deserves a break.

EFT Tapping (Emotional Freedom Technique) combines gentle tapping on acupressure points with spoken phrases to shift the thoughts and feelings keeping you stuck.

It's gentle and easy. You just repeat back what I say and tap where I tap!

Welcome to this EFT tapping session. If you're new to EFT it is so easy, You just do as I do and say as I say. I'll tap a point on my body and say a phrase. You just tap the same point and repeat the phrase aloud during the pause. We are now going to start tapping on the side of our hand. There are some times in my life where I have called myself lazy. No matter how lazy I've ever been. Even if I've weaponized lazy against myself in the past. I'm choosing to deeply and completely love, Accept and forgive myself. Lazy parts and all. Maybe my inner critic goes on the attack. She's weaponised lazy against myself. Try to make me do more. To mask feelings of not-enoughness. Or when she's comparing to others. Or maybe I even learned that women were not allowed to slow down. But slowing down is lazy. Or anything else I may have learned to label lazy as. Maybe calling myself lazy isn't right. Because I'm never like, Wow, Look at that baby. Lying there doing absolutely nothing. What a lazy little thing. And when did this change? The babies could just be. To me having to push through anything and everything. Or risk being called lazy. I choose to stop using lazy as a weapon. As if it was. It probably couldn't be bothered to stab anyone anyway. And maybe it's not a very creative word. So I choose to no longer use it. I can use RESTful. Restoring. Being still. Or any other words that work kindly. I have a right to rest. And I drop all doubts I have about this. I get to lay and be blissful. Tokens and sunshine. And even if I worry about other people calling me lazy. If they've got enough time to sit there judging me. Maybe they're not doing anything worth listening to either. And I don't get to control others. But I do get to control how I feel about myself. I get to control how I treat myself. And maybe when my mind whispers that word, Lazy. Spoiler alert, It's been lies all along. And I choose to listen to kinder words about myself. I choose to know that breaks are allowed. And I choose to make them a really beautiful part of my life. I choose to allow myself to be. I allow myself to breathe. Like really breathe. And to pause and listen to my inner wisdom. If I started to live this way. How might my life change? Maybe I would achieve more. I listen to my own wisdom and ideas. And having the fucking energy to take action on them. So what if I could rest more and do more? Not because I'm worthy only when I do. But because I get to light up my world. And they matter what. I choose to love and accept myself. In everything that I do. And in everything that I don't do. We'll stop there, Take a deep breath and hold at the top. Unrelease. I would love to hear how that went for you today.
