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”

Stress at Work: EFT Tapping for Relief Part II of III
We’ve felt the affects of stress in our lives. Short tempers go along with short breaths. Holding onto our problems goes hand-in-hand with our trying to get our inner-world under control. We then compound our own inner turmoils with the struggles and lessons of those around us. It is very easy to absorb the energies of those around us by trying to help them or resisting their pleas for help.
Creating separation between your ‘inner world’ and your ‘outer world’ can work wonders in alleviating some of the stress you bring into your life. Through muscle testing and tapping you can identify your weak areas, strengthening and feeding the spirit and relaxing the mind.
For those who may not have heard of this technique prior, EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Technique. What does this mean? Well, we can translate it in terms used in part one of this series: it means putting down the rock and releasing the stress that tires and weakens the body. Wow, that sounds great! Ready?
For those who do not know EFT, there are many great articles, books, videos and classes on EFT. I teach EFT along with other techniques at The Healing Drum Retreat. If you know EFT tapping already, then let’s start:
Here are the areas we will cover:
- Defining Self vs Others

Stress at Work: EFT Tapping for Relief Part I of III
Stress is one of the most highly used words these days, and for good reason. Our strained relationship with stress causes emotional, mental, even physical breakdown. We create stress through frustration in our relationships, overloaded schedules, and our work environment. Stress at work can be hard on the mind, body and spirit, but we can release and relax through thoughtful tapping using EFT.
Stress is a natural occurrence in the body. When you lift you have stress. When you move you have stress. Any time you use the body you are creating stress, the contraction of muscles and use of energy through exertion. Here’s the catch: that natural occurrence is a combination of contraction and relaxation, and is also supported by our breath.
We cannot lift a large rock and hold it for extended periods of time, the body just will not tolerate that, and at some point the body will drop the rock and express itself through exhaustion.
Much of our stress these days is created through our thought processes and our mental activities. Are we supporting those processes through breathing? Quite the opposite: we sit at a desk, or turn spud-like on the couch, slouching at that so that even “at rest” breathing is diminished. Then we hold that thought like a bulldog. Bring it back to that rock held up over your head, at what point will you grow tired? At what point will you collapse, dropping that rock.. dropping it right on top of you.
