Guest guest Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 _Relieving OVERWHELM with EFT_ (http://www.thrivingnow.com/for/Health/relieving-overwhelm-with-eft/) _http://www.thrivingnow.com/for/Health/relieving-overwhelm-with-eft/_ (http://www.thrivingnow.com/for/Health/relieving-overwhelm-with-eft/) By _Carol Look_ (http://www.thrivingnow.com/for/Health/carol-look/) , EFT Master What causes us to become overwhelmed? Sometimes basic anxiety overwhelms us; sometimes feeling overwhelmed is from a simple math problem...we have too much to do in too few hours, and other times, we feel overwhelmed and stuck when we feel inadequate as a result of comparing ourselves to others. (Of course there are outside influences like a death in the family that could kick you into this state as well, but we are talking about the overwhelmed feelings we contribute to and can do something about.) No matter where it comes from, feeling overwhelmed will INHIBIT your ability to attract your desires right now, so hopefully the tapping suggestions below will help clear it out. Unfortunately, we are often unaware that we are heading for the overwhelmed department until we arrive, so we need tools to prevent it, recognize it if it starts, turn the corner, and undo it. The signs I get that tell me I have entered the overwhelmed zone and am ignoring the signals is when I start dropping things! Fortunately, this is a sign that I can’t avoid noticing. I drop the toothpaste, spill my breakfast, drop my keys more than once etc. It is very annoying, but it definitely gets my attention. Other classic signs of being and feeling overwhelmed are: 1) No sense of humor 2) Irritability 3) Ineffectiveness throughout your day 4) Lack of enthusiasm 5) Uncharacteristic feelings of depression or inadequacy And more… Ask yourself when you felt this coming on and whether you consciously ignored it or not. Did you feel some of these symptoms, know you were burying yourself under too much work or too many family obligations around the holidays and yet you said “yes†anyway? We must take care of ourselves before we get overwhelmed, and if we have passed the point of no return, we must learn how to soothe ourselves back into a strong, healthy place. Below you will find EFT Setup Phrases followed by two rounds (one negative and one positive): 1. EFT SETUP PHRASES While tapping the karate chop spot on either hand, repeat these phrases out loud, (or change the words to fit your exact situation). “Even though I feel paralyzed and overwhelmed by everything I have to do, I deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway.†“Even though I’m afraid to believe that I am able to take care of myself when I am overwhelmed, I choose to accept and respect who I am and how I feel.†“Even though I feel totally overwhelmed and stuck, I choose to love and accept exactly who I am and where I am on my journey. " I have indicated where to tap while saying each of the phrases below. You may repeat this positive round more than once if you wish. (Those of you who are new to EFT should review a _chart of the EFT tapping spots_ (http://www.thrivingnow.com/for/Health/category/Learning%20EFT/) _http://www.thrivingnow.com/for/Health/eft-tapping-points/_ (http://www.thrivingnow.com/for/Health/eft-tapping-points/) , _http://www.carolsolomon.com/eft_resources/tapping_points2.pdf_ (http://www.carolsolomon.com/eft_resources/tapping_points2.pdf) ***Now, for the phrases that focus on the problem*** Eyebrow: “I feel totally overwhelmed right now.†Side of Eye: “I can’t seem to cope at all.†Under Eye: “I don’t know how I am going to get over this.†Nose: “I feel overwhelmed and stressed out.†Chin: “I don’t know how to relax and accept myself.†Collarbone: “I feel exhausted and overwhelmed right now.†Under Arm: “I can’t cope with my life.†Head: “It’s so overwhelming I don’t know what to do first.
