Tapping for this chocolate craving
Here’s the audio:
I like these amazing mint patties that are made right here in Oregon. I will get on my bike in the freezing cold and ride to the New Seasons Market just to buy these things. I’m craving the one I have in my cupboard right now. the problem is, I promised myself I would wait until Saturday to eat it. And it’s only Tuesday. What to do – for this or any other craving? Tap, of course! Here we go: You can think of your craving, and just tap along with me. Rate the intensity of your craving before you begin, and again after each round until your craving is gone. If you give in, use the second tapping script below.
My craving is at an 8
ET I’m craving that mint patty in the cupboard, ID&CL&AM
ET I can almost FEEL it in my mouth, ID&CL&AM
ET part of me really wants to eat it, and no one would know but me, I promised myself I’d wait until Saturday, so I’m tapping on it, and ID&CL&AM
(Tapping through the points – one point for each phrase:
-This craving!
-God, I can almost taste that luscious chocolate and mint filling!
-I love those mint patties!
-But I promised myself I’d save this one until Saturday
-And there it is in my cupboard
-Calling me
-I don’t want to give in
-I can feel the craving getting less already
-There’s hope!
-I choose to know I can wait a few minutes
-The mint patty will still be there later
Take a deep breath
Re-rate your craving. Mine is at a 1. Yours may not have dropped so quickly. That’s ok. Keep tapping. Use this same script or audio over and over. Go at least 5 minutes, or until your craving goes down to a 3 or lower.
If you DO choose to give in to your craving (and at some level, it IS a choice), tap this round FIRST, so that you can enjoy it and not feel guilty. Because guilt while we eat is bad for our digestion and our body!!!
-ET I’m giving in to my craving and I’m gonna eat this chocolate anyway, ID&CL&AM
-ET I tried tapping away my craving, it didn’t work, and I’m choosing to give in to the craving, and I Love myself anyway
-ET I’m eating something that I was craving, and I wanted to NOT eat it, ID&CLAM, and I choose to enjoy this food without guilt
-This chocolate
-I love chocolate
-It tastes soooo good
-I’m gonna enjoy THIS chocolate
-And I choose to eat it without guilt
-I choose to eat a reasonable amount
-And enjoy it in the moment, with all of my senses
Deep breath! Enjoy the chocolate.
