I’ve been teaching clients EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) ever since I first learned it. It’s an extremely effective stress reducer.
What I like best about it is that it’s not dependent on you going to see a practitioner. Once you’ve learned it, you can do it anytime you need it. I find that empowering.
This is a good instructional video I found on YouTube. Yes the presentation is a bit dry, but it’s clear and easy to follow.
When things are uncertain our natural inclination is to push toward the desired outcome. The problem is that when we’re afraid of the other possible outcomes we feel stress, anxiety and fear to such an extent that effective action becomes virtually impossible.
By accepting the worst, energy is freed up to deal effectively with the situation at hand.
You really need to experience this to get it, so I invite you to take 15 minutes (actually just a bit over 13 minutes) to listen to this audio. Find a comfortable place to sit and follow along with the exercise.
Reminder – Jumping into the biggest, scariest scenario is usually too much so approach this exercise gently and begin with something other than the big 3 stresses…relationships, health and finances. As you become more comfortable with the concept and have some direct experience, you can move on to larger issues.
