Question: What kind of set up and follow-through at each tapping point would you suggest to turn around a deeply ingrained, counter-productive lifestyle habit?
- Alison R
Answer: Counterproductive lifestyle patterns are complex issues. While I could offer Alison set up language to address the global issue, I wouldn't expect it to produce the results she is seeking. I wrote to Alison, who graciously responded with more specifics. Thanks Alison!
As I read her response, it was obvious that there were many aspects related to this particular lifestyle habit, and perhaps more than one issue to be addressed. Please consider this as you work through issues on your own. When you are frustrated and feel as if your getting nowhere, ask yourself a couple of questions. Am I approaching this too globally? Are there other aspects to this issue that I haven't worked through? Are there other underlying issues attached to the obvious issue?
I am only addressing one piece of the puzzle here, as it relates to one of the presenting aspects in her response. Realize that most of the time, while we can achieve results this way, addressing all the aspects and related issues are key to our ultimate and complete success.
Alison says her lifestyle pattern makes it difficult to maintain a healthy weight, due to difficulty absorbing nutrients. She has made the emotional connection recognizing the direct connection to her relationships. After having a relationship end abruptly and unexpectedly, while her eating habits remained the same, she said that she realized that she was shrinking and losing weight.
While many tend to gain instead of lose weight in these situations, please consider the possibility of how making a few minor adjustments to the language could help you deal with that as well.
Here are a few simple suggestions for starting points, recognizing that there are many aspects to be addressed. Each of the set up phrases should be tapped through in separate rounds, with the sequence phrases adjusted according to what specifically resonates. As you tap through it, make notes of specifics or various aspects that present themselves, addressing each one of them separately.
Even though a part of me is shrinking from the devastation of his rejection, it wants to vanish, I choose to be nourished by the food I eat.
Even though a part of me is so embarrassed, it doesn't want to be seen, I choose to move forward with ease and grace, believing in me.
Even though a part of me is working overtime to shrink from this rejection, I choose work through it. I choose to nourish body, mind and spirit.
TOH: This part of me that shrinks from rejection
EB: All this despair and sadness that makes me feel like vanishing.
OE: This rejection that has me shrinking.
UE: Shrinking from the pain of this rejection.
UN: This old habit that a part of me may think is somehow keeping me safe
UL: and all the underlying causes.
CB: This part of me that can't let go of the past.
UA: This part of me that still wants to shrink from all this pain and rejection.
The issue of not absorbing nutrients deserves further exploration, and Alison is doing so by working with a professional. However using EFT in conjunction with exploring additional events and the non-absorption issue separately should prove invaluable in correcting this lifestyle pattern.
Even though a part of me may somehow think it is protecting me when it rejects nutrients, I choose to have my food assimilate perfectly anyway.
TOH: This part of me, that thinks it is protecting me
EF: This part of me that makes me shrink from the pain
OE: This part of me that rejects food when I feel rejected
UE: This part of me that thinks being invisible might keep me from the pain of rejection
UN: Shrinking from rejection
UL: I choose perfect health
CB: I am thanking this part of me for trying to keep me safe.
UA: But I am letting it know we are safe now.
TOH: And I am asking it to take on a new job
EB: That new job is to help me maintain a healthy weight.
OE: I am so happy and grateful
UE: that every part of me is working in harmony
UN: helping me to absorb exactly what my body needs to maintain my ideal weight.
UL: I am so happy and grateful that I can feel that energy transforming in this moment
CB: from a shrinking energy to an energy of calm confidence
UA: promoting perfect health.
Happy tapping and thanks for keeping those questions and suggestions coming in!
Wishing you a safe and peaceful holiday season...
Hugs & gratitude,
Sophia
