Welcome,
This is a tapping exercise on cultivating confidence and courage to set boundaries in your relationships.
We'll start by getting into a comfortable position,
Making sure you're sitting upright with a straight spine.
Take a slow deep breath in and let it go.
Start tapping on the side of the hand underneath the pinky and repeat after me.
Even though it feels hard setting boundaries with people in my life,
It's okay to feel this way.
This is new for me and I choose to be gentle on myself in this process.
Even though it feels hard for me to speak up for myself,
I am gaining clarity and confidence to speak my truth.
I choose to recognize how far I've already come.
Even though I feel this tightness in my throat and jaw,
I am safe right here and right now.
We'll start tapping through the points,

And take a slow breath in,
And let it go.
I invite you to put your hands on your heart.
Imagine a light glowing around your heart space.
Picture this as yellow,
White,
Or green,
Or any color that calls to you.
This light is filling your heart with compassion and deepening your self-love.
Repeat any of these phrases after me that resonate with your experience and what you want to call in.
I am safe in my body to set boundaries.
This is new,
And I am learning.
I am honoring my needs and truth when I set boundaries.
I can protect my energy without feeling guilty.
I am worthy of respect,
And my boundaries matter.
Take one final slow breath in into your heart space,
And let it all go.
Thank you so much for showing up for yourself to do this exercise.
You did it.
I believe in you,
And I'm here for you.
Sending you love and blessings.
Take care.
