Quick Calm Before A Meeting: 5 Minute Tap For Work Stress

Got a meeting coming up and feel the work stress building? This 5-minute EFT tapping practice helps you walk in feeling calm, grounded, and like yourself. We start with a slow, calming breath, then tap through the points together as you repeat gentle reminders in your mind: you are capable, you are allowed to take up space, you don't need to be perfect, and you are safe to speak up. If any words don't fit how you feel, simply swap them for your own.
For the best results, tap along every workday for the next seven days, even on days without a meeting. Each time, your body learns a little more that it's safe to be yourself at work. Then come back to it before any meeting, presentation, or interview that makes your stomach drop.

As I tap through the points, Repeat my words after me, Either out loud or in your head. If I say anything that doesn't quite match how you feel, Just swap it for your own words. Let's slow everything right down together. I'm going to ask you to take a deep breath in and then take two little sniffs at the top. Hold and then breathe out. Let's do that together now. Take a deep breath in. You can close your eyes if that feels comfortable. Start by tapping on the top of your head. Tap lightly like raindrops. I am slowing right down now. I am safe in this moment. Relaxing your jaw. Releasing your shoulders Now move to the start of your eyebrow just above your nose. Take a deep breath in and hold at the top. And a slow breath out I know my potential.
