@everyone Feeling overwhelmed, scattered, or just carrying a little too much? EFT tapping is a simple practice that combines rhythmic touch, attention to what we're experiencing, and intentional language to help create a little more space in the moment. Here's a simple way to try it: Choose one or two tapping points: Side of hand — fleshy outer edge below pinky Eyebrow — inner edge near bridge of nose Side of eye — bone beside outer corner of eye Under eye — bone directly below eye Under nose — between nose and upper lip Chin — crease below lower lip Collarbone — just below collarbone, slightly off center Side of upper rib cage - about one hand-width below the armpit Top of head — center/crown G ently tap with two fingers while you move through these three steps: 👁️ 1. NOTICE: Name what you're feeling. Ask yourself: What's here right now? “I'm noticing __________.” For example: “I'm noticing I feel overwhelmed.” “I'm noticing I'm frustrated.” “I'm noticing my mind is racing.” Keep gently tapping as you say your phrase. 💙 2. ALLOW: Give the feeling a little room to be there. You don't have to fix it or make it go away. “Even though I'm feeling __________, I can __________.” For example: “Even though I'm overwhelmed, I can give myself a moment.” “Even though I'm frustrated, I can let myself slow down.” “Even though I'm anxious, I can be here with myself.” Keep tapping and repeat whatever phrase feels true for you. ➡️ 3. CHOOSE: Decide what you need next. Ask yourself: What would help me right now? “Right now, I choose __________.” For example: “Right now, I choose to take one thing at a time.” “Right now, I choose to pause before I respond.” “Right now, I choose to ask for help.” Then stop tapping and notice. Has anything shifted? Do you feel a little more settled? Is your thinking any clearer? It doesn't have to be a big change. Sometimes creating just a little more space is enough to help us choose what comes next. 💙 You can try this before a meeting, after a difficult conversation, between tasks, or anytime you notice pressure starting to build.
