So welcome to this really gentle tapping session for a little December decompress.
As I'm sure you're aware,
This time of year can be a really busy and stressful time.
And as the year kind of draws to a close and the end of December gets nearer and nearer,
It's really easy to feel kind of stretched in or just feel really overwhelmed.
So what we're going to be doing today is tapping together to release stress,
Cultivate calm,
Space and some ease within.
So we're going to begin with a nice deep breath in through the nose,
So inhaling deeply all the way down to the bottom of the tummy and then exhaling slowly out through the mouth when you're ready.
And then we're going to begin tapping,
So start tapping on the side of your hand,
Repeating after me either in your mind or out loud.
And if there are any specific stresses on your mind,
It can be helpful to kind of have those in mind as we tap today.
So even though I feel stretched thin with so much going on right now,
I'm open to being gentle with myself.
Even though this busy season feels stressful and exhausting,
I honour how I feel right here,
Right now.
Even though the end of the year brings a certain kind of pressure,
I love,
Honour and accept myself.
We're moving now to the eyebrow points.
I feel so stressed with everything that I have to manage.
Side of the eye,
There's so much pressure to keep everything on track.
I feel overwhelmed just thinking about it all.
Under the nose,
My body feels tense and tired from all the stress.
Chin points,
There's never enough time to get everything done.
There's never enough time.
Collarbone points,
I feel this weight of expectation on my shoulders.
Just notice how your body's feeling as we tap.
Under the arm,
Everyone seems to expect so much from me.
It's hard to feel relaxed when there's so much to do and there's so much happening.
Back to the eyebrow points.
I feel anxious about wrapping up the year.
Side of the eye,
What if I can't get everything done in time?
Under the eye,
I'm tired of feeling like I have to do it all.
It's a lot.
Under the nose,
This pressure feels heavy on me.
Keep tapping and breathing.
Moving now to the chin points.
I just want some peace and calm but it feels out of reach.
Collarbone points,
I'm holding on to so much tension.
It's hard to enjoy the present moment when I feel this way.
Just acknowledging how hard it is to be mindful when we're so busy.
Top of the head.
I wish I could release all this stress.
Back to the eyebrow points.
Maybe I don't have to do everything perfectly.
Side of the eye.
Maybe I can let go of some of this pressure.
Under the eye.
I know I've managed busy times before.
So maybe I can handle this too.
Under the nose.
I'm open to finding little moments of calm.
Chin points.
Maybe I can ask for support if I need it.
Collarbone points.
I acknowledge my own capabilities.
Under the arm.
I've handled so many challenging times in my life.
Top of the head.
What if I'm doing better than I think I am?
What if you're doing better than you think you are?
You're doing just great.
Back to the eyebrow points.
It's okay if everything isn't perfect.
It's okay.
Side of the eye.
I can focus on what truly matters right now.
So what does matter most to you right now or at this time of year?
What matters most?
Under the eye.
I'm learning to set gentle boundaries.
Under the nose.
There can be calm amongst the busy.
Chin points.
Maybe I can release some of this stress now.
So tapping and breathing,
Letting go.
Collarbone points.
I'm open to ease in my day-to-day life.
I'm open to ease in my day-to-day life.
Under the arm.
And this tapping is bringing some peace.
Some space.
Some calm.
Top of the head.
And I'm worthy of this time to decompress.
You're worthy of this time to decompress.
Back to the eyebrow points.
I give myself permission to release this tension.
Side of the eye.
It's safe to let go of any pressure.
So allow yourself to let go a little here.
Take a breath in.
And just sigh it out as you let go.
Moving to the under the eye points.
I'm willing to be gentle with myself.
Under the nose.
I don't have to carry it all alone.
Chin points.
I choose to release what I cannot control.
Choose that for yourself.
Collarbone points.
And it's okay to prioritize my well-being.
Just as you are doing right now.
Under the arm.
It's safe to let go of perfection and do my best.
Top of the head.
I release what no longer serves me.
And repeat that again with conviction.
I release what no longer serves me.
Okay,
We're going to do one last round of gentle affirmations.
Tapping again on the eyebrow points.
I allow peace and spaciousness into my heart.
Side of the eye.
I trust that things will work out.
Under the eye.
I give myself permission to relax and let things flow.
Under the nose.
I'm doing my best and that is enough.
Chin points.
Done is better than perfect.
And that can be your little mantra for December.
Done is better than perfect.
I find small ways to create space for joy.
Under the arm.
I stay true to what's important to me.
Today and every day.
I stay true to what's important to me.
Today and every day.
And then finally tapping on the top of the head.
I am worthy of a calm and gentle December.
Well done.
So stop tapping there.
Just place your hands on your heart centre.
Close your eyes.
Breathing gently.
Just take a moment now to notice how you feel.
Knowing that you've done something really kind and nurturing for yourself today.
And consider this as we tap together today.
We've really brought all our energies together.
We've created space for calm and being present with each other.
And that is such a gift.
All the stress,
All the tension,
The overwhelm.
That we've released has been transformed into peace and gentle clarity.
So you can carry that feeling with you into the rest of your day,
Your week and the rest of this year.
Knowing that even these really small moments of self-care can ripple out into the collective.
Into the rest of the world.
Even small moments of self-care can ripple out into the world.
So may the end of your year feel more spacious,
Calm and nurturing.
Sending you so much love and gratitude for tapping along with me today.
