Anxiety Tapping

Had an incredible visit with my counselor today.  I love how she just knows exactly what I need to hear.  We talked about my anxiety and she actually made me think of something that makes me anxious and got me all the way up to about an 8 being anxious about it, then talked about the EFT Tap method.  It is really cool.  Here is a video of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxk7cVPEOXw

Here it is:

Step 1:  Locate the feeling in your body, give it a number on a scale of 0-10, label it (anxious, knots in stomach etc)

Step 2:  Tap the side of your hand saying "Even though I have (anxiety, stress, etc), I totally and completely accept myself"

Step 3:  Tapping:  7x each at the a) eyebrow b) crows feet c) under eye d) under nose  e) chin  f) collar bone g) arm pit 

Step 4:  Tap at third eye, shut eyes, open eyes, keeping head straight look down to the right, then look down to the left, Hum (like oooooohhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmm) counting to 10

Step 5:  Repeat step 3 & step 4 , then rate your anxiety etc on a scale of 0-10 and then if you want to lower it more, repeat the whole process.

We also talked about the condition of my house and the 3 things I need to work on regarding it:

1-  No personalization (I tend to tell myself that I am a failure for not being able to keep a clean house)

2-  No putting myself down

3-  No criticizing myself

I am to work on the ABCD's of retraining my thought process regarding my house.  

We also talked about Feng Shui and how it could help with my anxiety in my house.  As if you have everything in a orderly fashion you will get good feelings inside.   How it helps with balance etc.  Here's more on it: http://fengshui.about.com/od/thebasics/qt/fengshuibasics.htm  I am interested in learning more about it.  I do know that when my house is cluttered etc, I don't feel very good inside about walking in those rooms.  

Well I am off for now to go work on cleaning.  This week's 'Zone' is the kitchen.  Wish me luck :-)
