Those pesky holiday food cravings

Think of those foods that just keep calling your name.  Let’s borrow benefits and tap a layer of craving off.  Over the next few days we’ll look at how to begin to control those cravings.

KC: Even though I can’t stop thinking of that box of chocolates---I acknowledge my feelings and cravings and want to tap until the urge starts to diminish
KC: Even though I can smell that chocolate in the next room---I acknowledge my desires and choose to explore my feelings as I tap
KC: Even though I’m obsessed with that box of chocolates and all the other holiday goodies---I want to move toward moderation

EB: I LOVE chocolate
SE: It’s better than anything on earth
UE: It’s wonderful
UN: It’s divine after any meal
CH: It’s divine as a snack
CB: It’s the best
UA: Especially with ice cream
TH: Crushed over the ice cream

EB: It feels so good in my mouth
SE: It’s calling my name
UE: I have to have it
UN: I’m good all year
CH: Well, I can deny it from time to time
CB: I can’t let them go bad
UA: Oh the smell
TH: The taste

EB: I have to have it
SE: Why can’t I have it
UE: Just a taste
UN: But then I can’t stop
CH: Feel, tap, release
CB: Feel, tap, release
UA: One moment at a time
TH: I’m so proud of my willingness to tap first

Breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth- ahhhh

CB: Tapping and tapping and letting myself have the option to have some a half hour from now if I want

When the limiting thoughts come back tap on the UE and say or think: “I only have to interrupt the craving---giving myself the awareness and space to ask if I really want the chocolate; or is it something else”
