Karate Chop:
Even though I feel homesick I deeply and completely love and accept myself.
Even though I feel homesick and all alone, I choose to love and accept myself.
Even though being away from home makes me feel unsafe, I acknowledge who I am and how I feel.
Even though my mind longs to seek the comfort of my home, I choose to see the comfort in what I have right and where I am right now.
Start tapping at the eye brow point and move along the other points using the following statements:
I feel so uncomfortable experiencing this every time.
I really miss everyone at home, the comfort of my room, sleeping in own bed, my friends and neighbors
Every time I call home, I feel terrible because they tell me how much they miss me
All of this is actually not helping me.
I know that it’s a matter of time, and I need to give myself some time to make this transition smooth and easy
How would things be if I don’t have to go through these feelings of homesickness?
Wouldn’t it be nice if I can release this tension, stress, and nervous energy?
Wouldn’t it be nice to not feel depressed and uncomfortable in this new environment?
I choose to acknowledge all the fear, worry and anxiety that I have right now.
It feels like this is going to continue forever and I won’t be able to get over this.
It is just a matter of time and I choose to believe that it is going to get better.
What if I can learn to be more present and find the peace and calm in this moment
What if I can utilize this time to get to know myself more
What if this fear and anxiety is a childhood pattern that is repeating now when I was always afraid that I will be abandoned
What if with time I’m going to like, love and enjoy this new environment
What if I can slowly and steadily learn to know this place, the people and the surroundings
And what if I can find something totally fun for me to do while I’m here.
What if by letting go of the stress I begin to connect with the beauty that is all around me and
What if I can practice more gratitude and quite contemplation as I have all this time now
What if I can spend some extra time and finish my projects on time
What if I can use this time to create something new and exciting
What if I’m totally safe right here and now
I choose to let the little child in me know that she is safe, because I have her back.
