Short Circuit My Negative Thinking with Tapping
See this story [e-zine 11-13-13] for details about this technique:
Are you ready to short-circuit some of that negative thinking? Some of those anxious emotions that come on seemingly from nowhere? Are you tired of having that same conversation in your head – over and over? Let’s free up all that energy, and use it for creating a glorious life! It’s totally possible!
Try this simple tapping script for breaking the habitual thought patterns that keep you stuck.
First, think of a thought, feeling or emotion that you experience regularly. One that is negative, and tends to take you down the rabbit-hole into a bad mood -or worse. This could be “My boss never notices how hard I work,” or, it could have to do with “I should have said,” where you re-live a scene in your head, saying what you’d like to say instead of what you did say, or any other repeating thought or emotion.
As you think about this thought habit, notice how it makes you FEEL in your body. Where do you feel it? What do you call the emotion it brings up?
When you think about this thought happening again, how would you RATHER feel? What is the positive emotion you would like to feel?
Tap, using this script. You can replace the emotion words with ones that are more specific to you, or you can use these words – your brain will know what to do with them.
On the Karte Chop Point:
ET I feel so angry when I think about how my boss doesn’t acknowledge how hard I work, I choose to say “STOP” to my thoughts, and I choose Calm and Confidence.
It’s that simple.
Use this script now, and ANY time this thought or emotion comes up. When you find that your boss no longer triggers this emotion in you, move on to the next situation that causes you trouble. Pretty soon, your brain will know what to do, and you will likely be able to shorten it to “I choose Calm and Confidence,” or whatever your positive emotion words are.
