To begin, find a quiet space where you can go through this process without interruptions. Get comfortable by sitting down or lying down. Take a few deep breaths to center yourself.
Start by rating your current level of self-love on a scale from 0-10, where 0 is no self-love at all and 10 is complete, unconditional self-love. Make a mental note of this number.
Now, let’s tune into the negative self-talk, beliefs or memories that make it hard for you to fully love and accept yourself. Notice where you feel this lack of self-love or self-criticism in your body. Allow any emotions to rise to the surface.
The Setup (repeat this 3 times while tapping the karate chop point on the side of your hand): “Even though I struggle with feelings of (say the negative self-belief), I deeply and completely accept myself.”
Example: “Even though I struggle with feeling unworthy and not good enough, I deeply and completely accept myself.”
The Tapping Sequence
Eyebrow: I release these feelings of unworthiness
Side of Eye: I let go of this harsh self-judgment
Under Eye: I am willing to see my beauty
Under Nose: I deserve to feel good about myself
Chin: I approve of who I am right now
Collarbone: My mistakes do not define my worth
Under Arm: I forgive myself for being imperfect
Top of Head: I am open to loving all parts of myself
Take a deep breath. Now we’ll install positive self-love affirmations:
Eyebrow: I have infinite worth just for being me
Side of Eye: I am worthy of unconditional self-love
Under Eye: Loving myself allows me to shine
Under Nose: I cherish and nurture my precious being
Chin: I admire my unique gifts and strengths
Collarbone: My self-love nurtures my growth
Under Arm: I matter and my needs matter
Top of Head: I love myself completely, always
Take a few deep breaths and keep tapping on the word “peace” while envisioning feeling calm, confident self-acceptance. You can also come up with your own self-love mantras to tap on.
