Welcome!
This is a morning tapping exercise designed for those moments when you're feeling overwhelmed or anxious about the day ahead.
Through this practice,
You'll gain a clearer frame of mind,
Cultivating more inner peace and gratitude.
Before we start tapping,
Rate your level of overwhelm or anxiety on the scale from 1 to 10.
1 is feeling calm and 10 is feeling completely overwhelmed.
We'll start tapping on the side of the hand,
The area from your pinky to your wrist.
Take a slow,
Deep breath in and let it go.
And repeat after me.
Even though I'm feeling overwhelmed about starting another day,
I choose to trust myself and my process for moving forward.
Even though I feel this tension in my chest,
I am creating space and safety in my body now.
Even though my mind is racing,
I choose to love and accept myself anyway.
We'll go through the points starting at the top of the head.

Take one final slow,
Deep breath in.
And let it go.
Do one final check-in of your level of overwhelm or anxiety on the scale from 1 to 10.
Ideally,
You would end this practice being as close to zero as possible.
If you're still feeling anxious or overwhelmed,
I recommend going back to the points,
Stating aloud how you're feeling,
Focusing on one or two phrases,
Or you can simply tap and breathe through the points.
Thank you for showing up for yourself to prioritize your self-care in the morning.
You did it.
I believe in you and I'm here for you.
Sending you love and blessings.
Take care.
