The Feelings Flower
How to regulate your emotions?
Let’s try this:
→ Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)
It helps you chill out and take back control.
Let’s dive in!
1. First, get comfy in a quiet spot.
You can sit or stand — whatever works best for you.
2. Now, ask yourself:
→ What’s really bothering me?
Take a moment to reflect on that.
Is it stress?
Anxiety?
Sadness?
Just name your feelings.
P.S. The Feelings Flower can help you 🙂
3. Now, ask yourself:
→ On a scale of 0 to 10, how intense is this feeling?
Just remember:
→ 0 means you feel totally fine
→ 10 means it’s really overwhelming
Write it down if you want!
4. Okay, now we need to create a setup statement.
“A setup statement?
Oh, it’s a simple phrase to acknowledge what you’re feeling.
For example, you can say:
→ “Even though I feel really anxious about work, I deeply accept myself.”
5. And now?
Now just repeat your setup statement 3 times.
It helps remind you that it’s okay to feel this way.
6. Alright, now for the interesting part.
Stick with me.
Using your fingertips, gently tap on these points while saying your setup statement.
(In this order)
1. Top of the Head
↳ Tap on the top center of your head
2. Eyebrow
↳ Tap on the inside edge of one eyebrow
3. Side of the Eye
↳ Tap next to the outside edge of one eye
4. Under the Eye
↳ Tap on the bone underneath one eye
5. Under the Nose
↳ Tap between your nose and your upper lip
6. Chin
↳ Tap between your lower lip and your chin
7. Collarbone
↳ Tap beneath one collarbone (find the notch)
8. Under the Arm
↳ Tap under one armpit (about 10 centimeters or 4 inches below)
As you tap each point, say your setup statement:
→ “Even though I feel really anxious about work, I deeply accept myself.”
7. Okay, now we’ve tapped through all the points.
And now?
Just take a deep breath.
Try to feel how your body responds.
8. Now ask yourself again:
→ On a scale of 0 to 10, how intense is this feeling?
Has the intensity gone down?
It’s okay if it hasn’t changed much.
Just repeat the process if you need to.
