Welcome to this quick tapping session for stress relief. So this session is a chance for you to just slow down, To breathe, To tap and let some of that weight go. So before we get stuck into the tapping, I'd like for you to just take a moment to tune in and notice how you're feeling. So we're going to rate the stress. If it helps you to tune in by closing your eyes, That's completely fine. Just rate the intensity of that stress on a scale of 1 to 10. So 10 is extremely stress, A state of very high stress. And 0 is completely neutral, So that would be no stress whatsoever. And when you have that number, Make a mental note of it because we're going to check in again at the end. Alright, So let's begin then. We're going to start with a nice deep breath. So inhaling through the nose. Nice big inhale, Expansive breath. And then exhaling when you're ready. And as you do so, Just letting your body kind of drop a little bit. And then start tapping on the side of the hand. Remember, You're repeating after me either in your mind or out loud. Ideally out loud. And by tapping along with me, You agree to take full responsibility for your own health and well-being. So even though I'm feeling really stressed right now, Just notice that stress. I'm here and I'm trying to do something about it. Even though I'm carrying a lot right now, Maybe there's a lot on your mind, I choose to be gentle with myself. Final time on the side of the hand. Even though I don't feel calm yet. I choose to deeply and completely love and accept myself. Or I'm learning to. Up to the eyebrow point, All this stress I'm carrying. Side of the eye feels so heavy and big. Under the eye, And there's so much going on. Under the nose, My mind is racing. It's going at 100 miles an hour. Chin point, And my body is holding all this tension. Collarbone point. I can feel it in my. . . And I'd like to say where you feel the stress or tension in your body. Maybe it's across the shoulders, The chest, The tummy, The jaw. So repeat that. I can feel it in my. . . I can feel it in my. . . Just notice where you feel it. And don't try and change anything. We're just observing for a moment. Keep tapping and breathing. Under the arm. And I've been carrying this stress for a while now. It's been building and building. Top of the head. I acknowledge how hard things have been. Sometimes this can feel emotional and that's okay. Just take a moment if you need to. Back to the eyebrow. What if I could let some of this go? Even just a little bit. Side of the eye. I give my nervous system permission to soften. So slow down the tapping a little more gently. Under the eye. I don't have to solve everything right now. Remember to breathe. Under the nose. I can put some of this down just for a moment. Back to the chin points. My body is safe right now in this moment. And if saying safe feels a bit difficult to say, You might like to say something like, My body is slightly calmer now, Or I'm open to feeling a bit calmer in this moment. Just choose what feels best for you. Well done. Back to the collarbone. I'm releasing some of this tension with every breath. Take a breath with every tap. It's okay to slow down. Tell yourself it's okay to slow down. Under the arm. Maybe I can think of this tapping like a calming Morse code for my nervous system. A calming Morse code. Reminding me that I can slow down and feel calm. Top of the head. I'm choosing to let my body find some ease. To feel more grounded. Okay, Let's do one more round. Back to the eyebrow points. I'm more than this stress. Side of the eye. Maybe I can get through times of stress. Maybe I have before. Under the eye. What if this stress is just a message to slow down? Just a message to slow down. To care for myself a little better. You deserve that, You know. Under the nose. I choose calm over chaos. Chin point. My breath is slowing. My body is settling. Let your body settle a little. Collarbone. I am present and grounded as I tap and breathe. Under the arm. I release what I cannot control. Don't let go of some of this stress and tension and worry. You can only control what's here now. Top of the head. I return to myself calm, Steady and okay. Calm, Steady and okay. Well done. So stop tapping there. Just place one hand on your heart. Take a nice slow breath in. Take a moment to notice how you feel after tapping. Maybe there is a bit of space or calm here now. And I'd like you to check in again with that number. And notice any change, However small it might be. And if there's not much change, That's okay too. Sometimes we need to get a bit more specific with tapping. We'll repeat it until we feel a shift. You know, What matters most is that you showed up for yourself today. And especially in this busy world that rarely stops and there's always things to do. You know, Places to be. You know, That's no small thing. To just pause and stop and choose yourself just for five minutes or so is amazing. So you feel really proud of yourself for doing that. Thank you for tapping with me.
