Welcome to a guided tapping exercise to recognize and release anxiety and self-doubt around your work so that you can feel calm and confident in yourself and in your abilities.
Start by getting into a comfortable position seated on a chair or a cushion.
Make sure that you can access all of the tapping points easily.
Begin by noticing your points of contact with the surface beneath you.
Notice your sits bone on the chair or cushion.
Notice where your hands are resting.
Notice your breath.
Now tune in with your body.
Notice what thoughts are present.
Rate the intensity of feeling anxious about work on the scale from one to ten.
One being calm and mostly confident and ten feeling overwhelmed with self-doubt and anxiety.
Let's start tapping starting with a setup statement the area underneath the pinky and repeat after me.
Even though I feel afraid that I won't perform well at work,
I would like to accept myself as I am right now.
Even though a part of me doubts my capabilities,
