I am Dionne, And I'm going to guide you through some tapping to overcome the Sunday scary. If you've never done tapping before, I'll give you a little intro. Tapping is where we tap gently on different points in our body. We have points on our face, Our collarbone, And underneath the armpit. So I'll show you the sequence that we'll be using. So we always start with the side of the hand. So sort of what's called the karate chop spot. So we tap here gently. As we do our opening statement. Then we're going to move to the inside of the eyebrow. The edge of the eyes sort of close to the temple. Beneath the eye. Beneath the nose. On the chin. The collarbone, You can do this with one or two hands. And then under the armpit. Then the top of the head. And we continue repeating. Going through. As we talk out these statements. Feelings, And thoughts. You don't have to tap hard. You don't have to tap fast. Find whatever feels good for you. Just nice gentle tapping. This is helping to just reprogram everything and help you settle in and get rid of some of these bloops. So whenever you're ready, We are going to get started. So tapping on the edge of your hand, You can repeat these after me. I'll give a little bit of time for you to repeat them. Or you can simply listen all. Even though I feel this sense of dread for the week ahead. I still love and accept myself. Even though I know I shouldn't feel this way. I still love and accept myself. Even though this feeling comes every Sunday, Like clockwork. And they shouldn't let it affect me. I still love and accept myself. Now we move to tapping through the other sequence points. This feeling comes every week. No matter how much I try to plan, No matter how much I want to feel differently. The feeling of dread. The feeling of overwhelm. The feeling of anxiety. The feeling of already being behind. Before the week even starts. The constant worry. Worry that I forgot to do something last week. Worry that I didn't do enough this weekend. Worry that I missed something in the schedule for the upcoming week. Worry that this feeling will keep getting worse. Worry that I won't sleep tonight. Worry that I'll be tired and exhausted tomorrow. All the preemptive worries. It's exhausting. It's frustrating. I feel defeated. It feels like I'll never get ahead. That I'll be stuck in this cycle for the rest of my life. The feeling of stress. Building every Sunday afternoon. I notice my body tensing. My thoughts become more active and negative. I get irritable. I get grumpy. I want the day to be over. But at the same time. To never end because I don't want the new week to start. Why am I like this? Why does this keep happening? I just want to feel relaxed. I just want to enjoy my Sunday. I know these thoughts aren't rational. I have all these worries every Sunday. Then Monday comes, And it's actually fine. I know my brain is making things worse. But it's hard not to believe what it's saying. I want to feel differently. I want to be relaxed. I want to be calm. I want to sleep easily on Sunday nights. I want to be excited for my week ahead. I want to go with the flow if things change. I want to love Sundays. But I know wanting is only part of it. I'm choosing it. I know my thoughts aren't true. I know I can achieve all these wants. I know this is possible for me. Because I'm choosing it. I am choosing to make a change. I'm choosing. To adjust the way I think. I am choosing to feel relaxed. And calm every Sunday. I am choosing to let go of what I can't control about the week ahead. I am choosing to dismiss the negative worrisome thoughts. I am choosing to release the mental and emotional weight I've been carrying. I'm choosing to reframe my thoughts. I'm choosing to feel excited about the week to come. I'm choosing this. Because I deserve it. I deserve to feel joy. I deserve to feel excitement. I deserve to feel calm. I deserve a good night's sleep. I deserve to release what I can't control. I deserve to feel confident. I deserve to feel prepared. Every week. And I deserve to enjoy my weekend. So I'm making the change. I'm making the choice. To approach my weeks differently. And also give myself compassion. And give myself grace when these feelings arise again. I'm excited to be excited. I am excited to feel calm and relaxed. I am excited to enjoy my Sunday. Now we're going to tap the inside of our wrists together as we say our closing statement. I am choosing to release this pattern that I have been repeating. I'm ready to face my week with calm confidence. And to choose joy instead of worry. May this come to me easily and quickly. This or something better. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
