Tapping Away Holiday Stress
Posted in Thought Field Therapy on December 6th, 2009 by Roger Callahan – Be the first to comment
The holiday season is typically a stressful time for most of us. This year will be particularly stressful due to the increased financial strain many are facing. And for others it will also be emotionally painful due to the absence of loved ones, either currently away serving their country or lost in the many disasters both man-made and natural that have occurred throughout the world.
A season that historically is supposed to represent peace, love and joy, often turns out to be a nightmare from being stressed out, underfinanced, and overwhelmed.
So when those old fashioned holiday tunes are playing, and the sadness starts rising, try tapping away those blues and then remember to smile.
Probably the single most stressful thing facing us this year is feeling the need to buy gifts for many but having limited resources. Another area of stress and concern is feeling the need for entertaining and pleasing others. These challenges can be faced with much more calm and mental clarity if you are tapping away your stress daily.
Our daily Stress Busting Guide is invaluable for relieving stress or anxiety as it comes up, keeping you calm and collected as each new difficulty arises. You can download this tapping guide for free from our web site. Use it morning and night during this busy season.
A Japanese study demonstrated that TFT meridian tapping normalizes cortisol, the stress hormone, levels in the body. Increased amounts of this stress hormone will leave you feeling tense and add to your feeling of being overwhelmed. It is well known that reduced stress contributes to a more robust immune system.
As we shop, interact in public, attend parties and travel, a healthy immune system is vital to maintaining our health. To learn how to use tapping for better health, just use the Stress Busting Guide regularly.
And then lastly, don’t allow your feelings of anger or guilt to linger and take up residence… try tapping them away as they surface. If you feel guilty that you can’t do or provide all that you would like to this season, or others have not met your expectations, tap away those harmful emotions. You can truly give and receive good feelings when your own negative emotions have been resolved. To find out where to tap for anger and guilt, go to the trauma relief blog, and the version for complex trauma with anger and guilt will help you to smile and reach out to others in the holiday spirit.
These are some simple ways that you can help turn your holidays into the peaceful and joyous time that we all wish for. As our gift, from Dr. Roger Callahan and Joanne Callahan, to all, we have provided these free tools to assist you, and wish you all a very blessed and joyous holiday season as we celebrate 30 years of healing with TFT.
