So in this video we'll do some tapping on morning overwhelm and anxiety.
So start by getting into a comfortable upright seated position and I'll go through the tapping process before we dive in to addressing the specific feelings about our morning routine,
Whether we wake up feeling anxious with our mind racing or we're worried that we won't follow through on a goal.
So when we start tapping we start here at the side of the hand.
Here we state a challenge and an affirmation and I'll state a phrase out loud and then I'll give you the space and the time to repeat after me and I think it's best if you can speak these phrases out loud but if you're in a place to do so you can say them in your head.
So we'll do that three times that challenge and then affirmation and then we'll tap through the points starting with top of head,
The eyebrow point,
Side of the eye,
Under the eye,
And don't worry we will go a little bit slower than this,
Under the nose,
Chin point,
Collarbone,
Under the arm,
Wrist point,
And side of the hand.
So that is the structure that's how we'll do this practice.
So let's get into it.
So we're going to start here at the side of the hand.
I invite you to just take a slow breath and let it go and check in on your level of overwhelm feeling anxious about the day ahead feeling like your mind's racing and with EFT we use a scale a subjective unit of distress scale 0 is common at peace and 10 is feeling completely overwhelmed.
So make a mental note of where you are right now on that scale from 0 or 1 to 10 and repeat after me even though I'm feeling overwhelmed about starting another day I choose to trust myself and my process for moving forward even though I feel this tension in my chest I am creating space and safety in my body now even though my mind is racing in the morning when I wake up I would like to love accept and forgive myself as I am in this moment and take a breath and let it go and we'll go to top of head I'm feeling overwhelmed under the nose eyebrow point I feel this anxiety in my chest the side of the eye my mind is racing with everything I have to do under the eye I'm worried I won't follow through with my goals under the nose I feel this tension in my chest chin point I'm worrying about everything I have to do today bone I don't know how I'll get it all done under the arm I'm worried I won't follow through with my schedule and my tasks wrist point I feel my mind racing side of the hand I feel stuck top of head I'm feeling anxious eyebrow point I feel stuck in my head side of the eye my mind is racing a mile a minute under the eye I don't know how I'll get it all done chin point I'm worried I won't follow through with my schedule and my tasks under the nose I'm feeling so overwhelmed chin point I feel stuck collarbone I have so much to do under the arm I'm worried I won't get it all done wrist point I feel overwhelmed I'm worried I won't follow through on my goals top of head I'm still feeling anxious eyebrow point I feel this heaviness in my chest side of the eye I feel overwhelmed looking at my schedule under the eye my mind is racing with everything I have to do under the nose I'm worried I won't get it all done chin point all this overwhelm collarbone this tension in my chest under the arm I'm worried I won't get it all done wrist point my mind is racing a mile a minute side of the hand I'm still feeling stuck okay so let's pause tapping and take a slow deep breath first notice how you're feeling in your physical body and now if you can check back in with that number on the scale from 1 to 10 with your level of overwhelm and anxiety let's keep tapping together recognizing any lingering anxiety that challenge while adding in some affirmations through the tapping points so we'll start at top of head I still feel a bit anxious eyebrow point it's okay that I feel this way side of the eye I have too much to do under the eye I choose to honor my energy and my capacity today without shame under the nose I wish I didn't feel this way chin point all of my feelings are welcome and valid collarbone I still feel overwhelmed thinking about my schedule under the arm I choose to focus on each task carefully and with mindfulness wrist point my mind still feels busy with unhelpful thoughts side of the hand I would like to love and accept this part of me anyway so we'll pause tapping again take another slow breath in let it go and now we'll add in some affirmations through the tapping points and ideally you would add in these affirmations through the points when your number is at a four or below so we'll start at top of head I feel a bit anxious eyebrow point I choose to honor my energy and my capacity today without shame I trust my ability to handle whatever comes my way eyebrow point I choose peace over fear side of the eye it's safe for me to take it slow under the eye I am grateful to witness the beauty of the natural world under the nose I choose to follow through on what I feel called to do chin point I choose to honor my capacity and be flexible with my goals collarbone I am grateful for all the abundance that's present in my life under the arm I am growing in self-love and acceptance every single day wrist point I can show up calm grounded and centered today side of the hand I love and accept myself as I am in this moment and every moment pause tapping again take one final slow breath in let it go and do one final check-in with that anxiety that may be felt in the beginning and notice where it is on that scale from one to ten ideally you would end this practice being as close to zero as possible feeling calm rounded and grateful thank you so much for showing up for yourself you did it even if it was uncomfortable you still showed up and you did this practice I believe in you sending you so much love and blessings take care
