Health

9/24/2013

Sometimes a part of us is addicted to the attention or struggle around poor health. Let’s borrow benefits and tap some charge off.

KC: Even though a part of me is addicted to the attention I get when I’m in poor health---I acknowledge this and am ready to let it go
KC: Even though a part of me is addicted to struggle around health---I honor and acknowledge this
and am open to changing this
KC: Even though a part of me has this reverse thinking around health for some reason---I’m open to shifting it

EB: A part of me likes the attention I get when I’m sick
SE: A part of me is addicted to struggle
UE: Especially around health
UN: I have this reversed thinking around health
CH: A part of me likes not feeling well
CB: If I get well then I’ll have to work really hard
UA: Life is so demanding
TH: All of me is addicted to the free-pass I get when I’m sick

EB: I’m afraid to let it go entirely
SE: People will expect me to go full throttle when I’m healthy
UE: I’ll burn out again
UN: I’ll never get to rest
CH: I’m holding this stupid thinking in every cell of my body
CB: I’m holding this thinking in every neural pathway in my brain

CB: I give my body permission to release this reversed thinking around my health
UA: I give my body permission to relax and let go of this limiting belief
TH: That I can only rest when I’m sick

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

CB: I give my body permission to partner with me in creating a balance and healthy life

When the limiting thoughts come back tap on the UE and say or think: “I am committed to one, happy and healthy life---NOW”

When you detach your focus from the negative and focus on “there just might be a solution” you can have a healthier mental outlook. Just posing a question (except for “why”) can allow you to recognize the answers when they arise.

KC: Even though I’m used to asking “WHY” I can choose a different way of tackling what baffles me.
KC: Even though I’m overwhelmed with all these new tools I don’t have to be perfect---I only have to TAP. The answers will come.
KC: Even though I don’t have money and things I can ask “How would I feel if I had money and things?”

EB: I’d feel safe
SE: I’d feel secure
UE: I’d feel content
UN: I’d feel confident to take risks
CH: How can you feel this way without money and things?
CB: Actually, I do have a roof over my head
UA: I live in a safe and secure area
TH: I have enough money to pay my rent for a month

EB: I’ve never been homeless
SE: Somehow I’ve found the solution in time
UE: I am trying new things
UN: I’m taking a leap of faith
CH: I am growing in confidence
CB: The more I acknowledge these qualities now
UA: The more they will grow
TH: I am healthy

EB: I do have some money
SE: There are a lot of ways money can come to me
UE: Using coupons
UN: Not overeating
CH: Shopping for bargains
CB: Wearing clothes I haven’t worn in months
UA: I actually have more than I though I did
TH: I can see how money and things can come to me in different ways

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

CB: I can look at all the ways love, money, and bliss can come to me--- in ways outside of the box or my usual way of defining them.

This weekend look around at how abundant you are. Can you walk, can you appreciate all the leaves on a tree, can you picnic in the park instead of going to a restaurant? Shift your focus—are you safe and secure in the moment? See ya Monday.

It’s actually healthy to have a good relationship with yourself. We often don’t take the time to get to know ourselves. Pretend you a re a loving parent who is interested in YOU.

KC: Even though I’m used to being critical and judgmental of myself. I want to change that behavior and love myself more.
KC: Even though I don’t know what a loving parent would do I can imagine it and choose to practice that behavior.
KC: Even though I feel silly doing this I know from the past loving myself is the key so I choose to see how this feels.

EB: This feels silly
SE: What if I forget
UE: My parents always were critical
UN: That’s all I know
CH: But I have seen on TV what it looks like
CB: How was your day?
UA: I let so-and-so get on my nerves again
TH: I’m sorry- it’s hard to let other people live their lives and not get triggered ourselves

EB: I know---it’s just they keep whining to me and I don’t know what to say
SE: What would you like to say
UE: Shut-up and stop looking at me and talking to me---just leave me alone
UN: Oh, I hear you saying, “I’m sorry you are in pain and I’m sorry I’m not the one who can help you.”
CH: Yes, I just don’t want to talk to them cause they’ll just keep talking
CB: It can be hard but a smile and a polite simple sentence can work even if you say it to yourself
UA: I’m sorry I’m not the one who can help you but I bet so-and-so can
TH: That’s right you don’t have to help every one

EB: I don’t
SE: No, in fact it’s not healthy
UE: It’s NOT
UN: No, so you can let yourself off the hook and if you slip and they re-stimulate you we can discus it tomorrow
CH: We can
CB: Sure, we’ll practice on saying what we mean, not saying it mean, and meaning what we say
UA: I like that idea
TH: I thought you might

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

CB: I don’t have to be perfect each time. I can quietly reflect on my day and see what mistakes I made and then correct them. I can visualize myself easily and effortlessly setting boundaries. That feels really good.

Good health is also an attitude. You are worthy and deserving of treating yourself as you would a guest in your house. You can give yourself permission to respect yourself.

KC: Even though it’s just me I choose to start treating myself with respect because I love myself.
KC: Even though I’m used to not eating off my best plates and engaging in conversation with myself. I acknowledge this and choose to honor myself more.

EB: I don’t have time to pause and check in
SE: I don’t have time to set the table as if a guest was coming over

SE: they really get on my nerves
UE: don’t they know they look like a fool
UN: they remind me of me not too long ago if I’m honest
CH: I don’t want to be reminded of that
CB: but they keep acting that way and it reminds me and
UA: if I can change why can’t THEY
TH: Why can’t they just “get it”

It’s a habit to focus on the slips we make while tapping and changing behaviors. I try to shift my perception to everything I did well. It’s not denial or finding an excuse---rather, it’s acknowledging the 90% I did well.

KC: Even though I ate too much at this meal I acknowledge that it was one meal and I choose to focus on the healthy things I did eat because I love myself.
KC: Even though I was tired and ate too much I choose to acknowledge this and not beat myself up.
KC: Even though my old behavior is to obsess and focus on what I did wrong. I choose to love myself and take pride on what I did right.

EB: I’m a failure
SE: I blew it again
UE: I ate too much
UN: I’m hopeless
CH: I’ll never get it right
CB: I’m a looser
UA: I’ll never get it right
TH: I wasn’t aware that I was so tired and my habit is to overeat

EB: But I ate really well the rest to of the time
SE: Doesn’t that count for something
UE: Sure it does
UN: I can start over NOW and go back to taking pride in myself
CH: I am worthy and deserving of taking pride in myself
CB: Beating myself up is a an old habit
UA: I choose to start letting that go
TH: It starts with shifting my focus

EB: I did really well all day
SE: I’m doing amazing well over all
UE: I just overate at one meal—it’s just calories
UN: Not the end of the world
CH: Turning to source to fill me up
CB: I forgot to pause before I ate to see how I was feeling
UA: Next time I’ll check in first to see if I have to tap first
TH: I can tap for a minute before I sit down to eat

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

CB: I can stop and ask myself how my day is going. I would ask that of a friend coming to dinner. If they needed a minute to tap a charge out I’d be there for them. I’m worth a minute.

After you start eating better you’re often rewarded with feeling better physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Yet, there are those moments of doubt.

KC: Even though I do have a deeper sense of calm I’m still having moments of extreme negative feeling. I want the part of me that wants to change to win.
KC: Even though doubts creep in and I want to stop all this. I love myself enough to not give up on myself.
KC: Even though I can’t tell that I’m changing I trust the process because I love and accept myself.

EB: Where are these doubts coming from?
SE: Why can’t I have inner peace all the time?
UE: What’s wrong with me?
UN: I feel so damaged
CH: Why can’t I let it all go?
CB: You release a bit at a time so your body can adjust
UA: Really
TH: Yes, you gradually develop new templates to support the new you

EB: A new more vibrant and free you
SE: That sounds good
UE: But what if I don’t know how to behave?
UN: What if I only develop a new bad habit?
CH: You won’t --- you’ll learn to trust yourself and your choices

TH: I do feel better

You are worthy and deserving of loving yourself back to health and balance.

The discomfort is there to move you to “choice”—to choose a deeper love for yourself and to allow yourself to choose a healthier and more balanced you.

KC: Even though this is new behavior I choose to let the tears flow and allow the confusion because I love and accept myself.
KC: Even though tapping and asking myself if I’m safe and allowing myself to simply allow my emotions to flow I love and accept this process.
KC: Even though I’m releasing issues form my childhood that I’m not consciously aware of--- I honor the process and allow the healing.

EB: This is very confusing
SE: Why am I in such resistance?
UE: Who cares if I can let it go and move forward
UN: I don’t like change
CH: But I don’t like the old behavior
CB: I want more for myself
UA: Allowing the transmutation
TH: Allowing myself to change and grow into a healthy and vibrant me

EB: I’m just having growth pains
SE: Could this be true?
UE: I’m told it takes time to break a habit
UN: And I’m clearing out old hurts
CH: I’m loving myself to wellness
CB: This is strange
UA: Wait- I do have a rooted core that I’ve nourished
TH: I’m feeling a deeper connection with myself

EB: I’m intending to let go of the old
SE: letting the feelings out
UE: trusting the process
UN: Feeling worthy and deserving of being healthy
CH: Claiming a renewed sense possibilities
CB: Feels exciting
UA: Feels different
TH: Feels hopeful

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

CB: I think a healthy and balanced meal is in order. I’m looking forward to making healthier choices and feeling okay to embrace the possibilities…

Enjoy the weekend and remember---when feelings come up that you can’t pin-point remember to tap and just let them go. Don’t stuff the feelings with food – you can tap while taking a walk. Just might lift your spirits.

You build on the successes you make one day at a time. I find tapping all day long helps release the tension. When you don’t know what emotion is coming up just tap anyway.

KC: Even though I’m doing better at asking if I’m safe and tapping instead of overeating. I feel out of sorts and love myself anyway.
KC: Even though I’m not perfect I’m so proud of asking myself if I’m safe.

SE: I love you
UE: I won’t leave you
UN: I’m proud of you
CH: Watering my spirit

Some of us were given food to quiet us, to soothe us, to numb us out in front of the TV etc. Sometimes we turned to food as our only source of comfort.

KC: Even though overeating or eating the wrong foods started out innocently enough. It soon became my body’s enemy and I honor and acknowledge this and choose to love myself anyway.
KC: Even though I now turn to food as my source of comfort. I acknowledge this is an old habit and I choose to let the uncomfortable feelings come up as I love myself enough not to overeat in the present.
KC: Even though I turn to food to bond with others and can’t watch TV without it I choose to work on changing this one moment at a time.

EB: I’m just gonna set myself up for failure

UE: I’ll forget
UN: It will be too hard

UA: I don’t want to do this

UE: Oh sweetie, I’m so sorry you are in so much pain
UN: The body gets addicted to food and habits and creates withdrawal pains and mental twists to keep you trapped
CH: It does
CB: Yes, it wants to keep you “safe”
UA: Ask yourself if you are “safe” before you start to eat
TH: Just start there for today

EB: Am I safe right now
SE: I’m scared and overwhelmed I have this and that to do and deal with
UE: But, are you safe
UN: Yes, but
CH: Are you safe
CB: Yes
UA: Are you safe now
TH: Yes

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

CB: Maybe ---just for right now I can hug a pillow while watching TV. Remembering---I am worthy and deserving of good health and good eating habits.

Tap as you watch TV--- you can even tap on the sides of each finger where the nail meets the skin. Ex. right index finger can tap on the outside of the thumb, then the thumb taps on the other fingers as to work your way down to the pinky. Each tap is 5-7 times per finger.

Childhood habits around eating and health can impact our adult health. Often we continue the pattern out of habit or because we haven’t cleared the emotional charge around childhood memories. Either way we ARE worthy and deserving of turning that around.

KC: Even though as a child my eating was atrocious I acknowledge this and love and accept myself.
KC: Even though as a child I didn’t have healthy eating habits for various reasons. I choose to acknowledge this and choose different behavior.

UE: That feels good
UN: I do like how I feel when I’m not in a food coma
CH: This might be hard
CB: Darn it---I’m worth it
UA: I can start letting it go in a general way
TH: That would work

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

CB: Just thinking about letting it go scares me and also excites me. I’m worth it and I deserve to live a happy and healthy life.

For in-depth work you can make a session but let’s do some general work in the days to come. Remember to borrow benefits.
