You can’t calm the storm…. So stop trying. What you can do is calm yourself. The storm will pass.– Timber Hawkeye
Overwhelm happens when you think that you need to figure out everything all at once. Truth? You don’t.
This week I choose to write about my experience listening to the Tapping World Summit. I have been listening to the Summit over the past several years and I really enjoy this time listening to experts and tapping along with them. It was an amazing tapping retreat for ten days, as I went deep within to move energy, and experience peace and calm. I also realized that I have access to this resourceful state all the time and it all starts with acknowledging the overwhelm and stress that my mind and body may be experiencing in that moment.
Author, speaker, and coach, Cheryl Richardson was one of the experts in the summit. She said, “The more overwhelmed we are, the less resourceful we become.” All of us know this at a conscious level, but when we are in a state of overwhelm, we get caught up in our head and tapping gently brings us back to our bodies and helps ground ourselves in the here and now.
Cheryl also shared one of her tapping set up statements given by one of her coaches. “Even though my mind is manufacturing anxiety, I’m open to the possibility of my mind manufacturing peace”.
As we move into a new week, let’s set an intention for our minds to manufacture peace.
Wishing you peace and happiness!
Until next time, keep tapping!
