Hi ,
Welcome to the December Newsletter. Well it has been quite a surprise to have snow at this time of year. Which made me thing about how we handle unexpected things. For a tapping script related to this, see my blog post: How To Deal With The Unexpected. I hope you enjoy this month's newsletter.
Christmas Spirit
It is that busy time of year again! There is always lots to do - presents to buy and wrap, food to prepare, parties to attend, work to complete, family to visit etc. We can feel like we are being pulled in all different directions and like there is not enough hours in the day! We often feel overwhelmed and stressed and can get so caught up in the material things that we forget the spirit of Christmas (and I'm not talking about the alcoholic variety).
So take some time out, sit down for a few minutes and do some tapping. Here is a tapping script that can help you. Write down your score on a scale of 0 - 10 first (where 10 is maximum stress/overwhelm etc).
Setup:
Tap on the Karate Chop whilst repeating three times:
Tap on the Karate Chop whilst repeating three times:
- Even though I'm so stressed about Christmas and everything I have to do, I still deeply and completely accept myself
- Even though I still have loads of shopping to do, I deeply and completely accept myself anyway
- Even though I feel overwhelmed by my to-do list, I love and accept myself anyway
Eyebrow: I'm stressed about Christmas
Side of Eye: I'm so overwhelmed by my to-do list
Under Eye: I've got way too much to do
Under Nose: And not enough hours in the day

Collarbone: Why didn't I start earlier?
Collarbone: Why didn't I start earlier?
Under Arm: I always leave it to the last minute
Top of Head: It's always a rush and panic at the end
Eyebrow: I wish I could plan things better
Side of Eye: Why do I have to do everything anyway?
Side of Eye: Why do I have to do everything anyway?
Under Eye: I feel so stressed, I've got so much to do
Under Nose: I don't have the time to buy all the presents,
Under Nose: I don't have the time to buy all the presents,
Chin: all the food, prepare the house, do the wrapping
Collarbone: It's all too much for me to do
Under Arm: I hate feeling so stressed about Christmas
Top of Head: I can't enjoy myself because I've got too much to do
Eyebrow: I'm open to thinking about this differently
Side of Eye: What if could prioritise my to-do list
Under Eye: Maybe I can get some help off my family
Under Nose: Maybe I can take some time out to prioritise
Side of Eye: What if could prioritise my to-do list
Under Eye: Maybe I can get some help off my family
Under Nose: Maybe I can take some time out to prioritise
Chin: What if I can feel calmer about my to-do list
Collarbone: Maybe I can get it all done if my family helps me
Under Arm: What if I enjoyed getting some help
Under Arm: What if I enjoyed getting some help
Top of Head: I'm open to enjoying myself as I do all these things
Use your words where appropriate to really tune in to how you feel. Keep tapping until you feel calmer and more centered.
Energy Exercise of the Month
Blowing Out the Candle
This exercise is great to do at this time of year and any time you have an unfounded fear.
This exercise is great to do at this time of year and any time you have an unfounded fear.
- Sit down on the floor raising your knees to your chest. Wrap your arms around your knees and hold them.
- Take in a deep breath. Lift your head and rock back and forth. Imagine you are staring at a blue flame in front of you.
- On each exhalation make an 'O' shape with your lips and make the soft sound of blowing out a candle as you imagine blowing out the blue flame.
- Repeat blowing out the blue flame with each exhalation. Imagine your fear is going out with each flame that is extinguished.
- Repeat until your fear has dissipated.

Quote of the Month
"As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same." -- Nelson Mandela
Many people do not let their light shine for fear of standing out or fear of being thought of as arrogant etc. Consider this instead - what if you could be the inspiration or example that someone else needs to let their light shine. What if they looked at you and thought - wow - they did it, maybe I can too? I hope you let your light shine this Christmas.
Fitting in EFT
One of our biggest challenges is actually making the time to help ourselves feel better. We all have the ability to do this, it's just sometimes we can't find the time. The beauty of EFT of course, is that it usually works very quickly. I'm going to bring you ways to fit EFT in each month, so you can find the time to feel better.
Tap While You Shop:
Ok, we all know that the shops get a little crazy at this time of year. So spend some time tapping on any thoughts and feelings that come up before you set off on your shopping trip. By getting into a calm space before you go, you'll be less likely to be bothered by the hustle and bustle. If you do find yourself feeling harassed, hot and bothered, stressed etc, then do some finger tapping as you shop. Take some time out and sit down for a few minutes as you ponder why you are doing all this. Keep tapping as you shop if it all gets too much for you.
