You’re anxious. You’re scared. You’re stressed. You’d rather not think about it. Easier to divert your attention to the television or another bag of chips or work. Almost anything will do. And there’s nothing wrong with that. It is a helpful strategy. Almost any distraction can work for a while. And thank goodness for that!
But “it” doesn’t go away. You know that “it” is still there, underlying it all. And “it” will stay there as long as you don’t acknowledge its presence and do something about it
It’s a hard thing to do, to acknowledge your own truth, to dig deep and say to yourself what is really bothering you. To acknowledge a fear, worry, regret, shame, sadness, or anger. But once you do that, and tap round and round the points while you are acknowledging “it”, you can then begin to feel relief, experience release, and transform how you see the world and yourself.
EFT Tapping is an extraordinary tool for both self-help and guided assistance. Even if you are not ready or able to acknowledge your truth yet, you will know “it” is there by how you feel. Acknowledge your feelings and your bodily sensations. They will guide you to what’s under the rug. And then tap. You may not notice anything profound at first….except that… your rug is laying flatter…
