Do you ever feel like an obstinate two-year old
Stubbornly refusing to do what you know you should do?
Do you avoid doing certain things? Wasting all kinds of energy for days, dreading something you will eventually do?
Here’s a solution. It has helped me immensely and no doubt it will work for you as well.
It is called Emotional Freedom Tapping, also known as EFT tapping.
The technique uses the mind body connection. You think thoughts and feel emotions about something that’s bothering you.
Simultaneously, you use your fingertips to tap certain points. The points you tap are on the energy meridians, the same meridians acupuncturists use.
It sounds and looks totally weird. But I suggest you give it a good try, because it actually works
Employ this tapping therapy for absolutely any disturbing emotion.
But it’s amazing when you use it for procrastination.
Here’s the EFT technique I like to use. It’s easy to do and is a quick way to learn EFT and get started using it.
Using a few fingertips of your right or left hand to tap gently, on either side of your body. Tap a few times on every point.
You’ll learn the tapping points by watching the very quick video.
Here’s what you do next. Think of the thing you are avoiding doing.
Tap on the points while you say the following statements.
Eyebrow: I don’t want to do it!
Side of Eye: I’m dreading doing it.
Under Eye: Just thinking of it makes me hate it.
Under Nose: I will not do it.
Chin: I simply refuse.
Collarbone: You can’t make me do it.
Under Arm: You can’t make me and I don’t have to do it.
Top of Head: I am not doing it and that’s all there is to it.
If you haven’t tried it yet, I bet you’re still thinking it’s silly. Well, give it a try!
Tap the points while saying those same words on each point (one round is tapping on each of the points) or several rounds.
Then, notice how you’re feeling about the thing you were avoiding. You may be surprised at how your avoidance and procrastination changes.
What can it hurt to try it?
