Hi,
It's Stefania.
Let's do something else today.
It's called tapping.
It's like giving your body a gentle tap tap tap.
We tap gently on different energy spots in our bodies which are called meridians.
Tapping on these points while saying positive things can help us feel better when we're feeling upset or worried or even a bit grumpy.
It can help us feel relaxed when we need to go to sleep.
It can help us feel a bit more confident when we're just feeling a little bit wobbly.
It's like magic a bit but it's not really magic but tapping on these special spots in our bodies can help us to feel calm and a bit happier again.
If we're feeling worried or afraid we can tap on our worries or whatever it is that we fear.
Today we're going to do a special tapping exercise to help us feel confident and good about ourselves.
We can do many wonderful things that maybe we didn't think we could but if we are a bit confident and give things a try it might turn out well.
If we have a wish and try to figure out what's a good way to make it come true then that wish becomes what is called a goal.
Then little by little we can work on it and do what we can to make that wish,
That goal,
Come true.
We'll tap on some special points on our body while saying some positive words to help us focus on our dreams and be a little more confident.
I'll guide you on the different tapping points and you can repeat the words after me or you can say them to yourself or you can just tap and listen.
Whatever makes you feel comfortable.
Before we start tapping let's just practice on the tapping points.
First if you've tried the first and second tapping sessions that are on InsideTimer you might be familiar with this bit but doesn't hurt to review and if it's new for you let's learn.
First tap on the side of your hand with the fingers of the other hand.
This is called the karate chop point.
Next tap gently with your fingertips where your eyebrow starts right near the middle of your forehead.
This is the eyebrow point.
Side of the eye.
Gently tap on the bone at the side of your eye where your temple is.
Very gently.
Under the eye.
Tap just below your eye on the bone above your cheek.
Under the nose.
Find the spot between your nose and upper lip and tap on it.
Just like feather tickling you.
Chin point.
Tap in the dip between your bottom lip and your chin like you're tapping on a little drum.
Collarbone point.
Tap your fingers where the two sides of your collarbone meet.
Not on your collarbone but just under it.
It's like giving yourself a little massage.
Then under the arm.
Feel for the spot on your side where your arm touches your body when it's down.
When your arm is down.
Tap a little below your armpit kind of where your side is.
Top of head.
Tap gently on the very top of your head in the middle as if you're wearing a very very nice crown.
This is called the crown point.
Shall we begin?
We are going to tap on confidence.
Being happy with who you are.
And knowing that we are unique and blessed.
Karate chop point.
The side of your hand.
I am confident and capable.
I learn new things every day.
Eyebrow point.
I believe in myself.
Side of eye.
I am loved and supported by my family and friends.
Under the eye.
I am brave.
Under the nose.
I am grateful for all the good things in my life.
I am grateful every day.
Chin point.
I am unique and special in my own way.
Collarbone point.
I am happy.
Under the arm.
I am healthy and strong.
Top of head.
Your crown point.
I am creative.
If at first I don't succeed,
I try again.
It's okay to ask for help.
All is well.
Let's stop tapping now.
If you feel like having a yawn,
That's okay.
Go ahead and yawn.
Yawning is the energy that's been freed up to let you go ahead and be the best that you can be.
So if you feel the need to yawn,
It's good.
Now,
Take a deep breath in,
Hold,
And out.
And feel strong like a beautiful tree standing in the sun and with a gentle breeze blowing all around it.
Bye for now.
You are wonderful.
You are loved.
And you are safe.
