Stress at Work: EFT Tapping for Relief Part III of III
(Continued from part III Stress at Work: EFT Tapping for Relief)
The intent behind EFT Tapping for Relief of Stress at Work is multi-purpose. First to identify, then to release, and third to relax and bring back the ability to breath. It is important that we not only clear the way, but refill that space with an acceptable, nourishing substance.
We live in an interactive work, so is it any wonder that at times we merge with those around us? How many times have you seen others (or yourself for that matter) take on the traits or expressions of those they are close to? Here are phrases you can use in tapping to define ‘your space’, and recognize your boundaries:
Defining Self vs Others
- “Even though I love to feel important when others need me, I will allow myself to recognize the importance of helping myself”
- “Though I forget to set boundaries for myself, I choose NOW to set those boundaries, with grace and forgiveness”
- “Even though others depend on me, I choose to return their energy to them, and regain my own energies”
Taking a Realistic Approach to Responsibility
- “Though I feel a sense of accomplishment when I solve problems, I know not all questions have immediate answers, and can let the universe find the solution for me”
- “Even if I overstep my sense of duty, and get weighed down by the problems of the day, I will allow myself to gently release at the end of the day, and regain my personal light”
- “Though I am paid to solve problems, I can allow myself to keep those problems in perspective, and find solutions that are healthy for everyone involved”
Reaction vs Response
- “I understand I stress when I am tired, and choose to recognize and respond to it rather than pushing forward and creating more stress”
- “Even though I expect too much from myself, and want to be a better person, I choose to forgive my shortcomings, and use this forgiveness to replenish”
- “Though I try to get as much done with my time as possible, I choose to recognize my ability to pace myself, and let myself refuel through breathing, stretching and rehydrating”

“Though I am paid to solve problems, I can allow myself to keep those problems in perspective, and find solutions that are healthy for everyone involved”
This is a really good point. I heard about EFT a few years back, but it wasn’t until recently when I saw Try It On Everything that I really started to grasp the sheer number of ways you can use it. Work can be so overwhelming sometimes, but I really like the thoughts you’ve laid out here, and this will definitely help me out in the future.
