Hi Lovely People,
I hope you’ve all had a wonderful start to the year. I wanted to share some exciting news with you guys and also ask for your support.
I’m going to start doing lunchtime Happy Heads YouTube Live sessions every Wednesday at 12pm and the first one is 26th February.
They’ll be 30 minutes long so perfect to fit into your lunch break and will include lots of tapping, breathwork, meditation, visualisation and more. They are totally FREE and if you enjoy the session you can donate but it’s completely up to you and not compulsory in any way.
I WOULD LOVE YOUR GUIDANCE
Each session will cover a different mental health topic and this is where I would really love your input. What would YOU like to tap on? Is there anything you’re struggling with? Is there a topic you would particularly like me to cover? Is there anything about tapping you’d like to know more about? Anything about meditation you’ve always wanted to know? All questions, topics and ideas are welcome!
Please email any ideas or requests to kim@happyheads.me I would love to hear from you.
Put Weds 26th Feb at 12pm in your diary and then simply click onto the Happy Heads YouTube channel page and you’ll see the live session. Or if you subscribe to the channel, click ‘notification’ and it will give you gentle reminder.

TAPPING TO STOP PEOPLE PLEASING
Are you a people pleaser?
If you’re not sure whether you’re a people pleaser or not, answer the following questions and see how many you answer YES to.
Do you always put the needs of others ahead of your own?
Do you worry about what other people think?
Do you struggle to make decisions
Do you struggle to say no?
Do you find it hard to set boundaries?
Do you often adapt who you are to please others?
Do you avoid disagreeing with people or voicing your honest opinion?
Do you go along with things they you’re not happy about to avoid conflict?
Do you feel pressure to be friendly, nice, or cheerful at all times?
Do you feel anxious at the thought of standing up for yourself?
Do you feel people often take advantage of you?
Where does ‘people pleasing’ come from?
People pleasing is actually a highly adaptive way for a child to survive their childhood. For various different reasons the technique of ‘pleasing’ a parent or caregiver ensures the child gets their core needs met (food, love, affection, connection) or in more traumatic situations it might help limit pain and abuse. Carried into adulthood, people pleasing can actually be really damaging to your mental health and wellbeing.
Constantly putting the needs of others before your own, overthinking and assessing how other people feel or think is hugely draining for your nervous system for a number of reasons:
We can’t ever know what someone is thinking - it’s a wasted energy!
Overthinking creates anxiety and can put your nervous system into high alert
Ignoring your own needs increases stress levels
Putting your self worth in other peoples hands is like giving your power away
It makes it difficult to make decisions for yourself
Constant external validation cultivates self doubt and low self worth
Tapping is a great way to start reclaiming your power! Try this process now and rebuild your self worth once again.
For more support please get in touch kim@happyheads.me I would love to help xx
5 MIN TAPPING TO NURTURE YOUR INNER CHILD
Your childhood forms the foundation of your mental health because it’s when your brain and nervous system are still very much developing. Everything that happens to you in this time forms an internal blueprint for who you believe you are and how you see the world around you. It’s the time when your nervous system learns how to adapt to stress and when your strongest limiting beliefs are formed.
This is why your ‘inner child’ is so important. When we have big reactions to things it’s often our wounded inner child that has been triggered and it’s happening without us even realising.
We all have an inner child inside of us, that for whatever reason, maybe didn’t have their needs met. It’s such an important part of who you are and doesn't take long to tune in to them and make them feel loved.
Try this short tapping process now to nurture your inner child and see how much calmer you feel.
For more support please get in touch kim@happyheads.me or check out the Happy Heads Nurture Your Inner Child Programme xx
3 MIN TAPPING TO START YOUR DAY
The start of your day is a REALLY important time for your mind. It can make the difference between having a good or bad day. When you set your brain up right you'll be much better equipped to deal with what the day might throw at you. Never look at your phone first thing in the morning it’s like giving your mental health and power away, instead do something that calms and soothes both body and mind.
This 3 minute Tapping Process won't take long at all but will be having a BIG impact on your nervous system - the perfect way to start the day!
Happy Heads - Private Sessions
Would you like a private session with Happy Heads? One to to one sessions are the perfect way to nurture your wellbeing and I always tailor the sessions to your own personal needs.

Tapping is a powerful tool at helping you release negative tension held in both your body and mind.

I always provide a full support document after the session and a meditation recording / tapping video for you to use. The sessions are 1hr 30mins and over Zoom.

NURTURE YOUR INNER CHILD
INTERVIEW NOW LIVE!
My Interview as part of the Tapping World Summit is now LIVE and you can watch it HERE. It's live and FREE for the next 16hrs but after that you can buy the summit and own it for life.

How to recognize when your adult reactions of today are actually manifestations of unresolved childhood experiences from the past.
How to address limiting beliefs like “I’m not enough” with self-compassion and self-acceptance (hint: Tapping can help!)
Self-care practices and affirmations to nurture your inner child and heal deep-seated emotional wounds.

THESE 10 DAYS WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!
16th TAPPING WORLD SUMMIT
Life isn't always easy. In fact, for most people, it involves a lot of stress and struggle on a daily basis. With finances, work, health, relationships, and a lot more. Most people are dealing with more stress, anxiety and overwhelm than they realise.
But it doesn't have to be this way.
Which is why I want to share what is probably the most transformational FREE online event that exists - The Tapping World Summit. I've been watching it for years gaining so many insights, inspiration and self healing and this year Jessica Ortner herself invited ME to be part of it (HUGE pinch me moment).
I had a wonderful conversation with Jessica about how we can use tapping to Nurture Our Inner Child and we also did some actual tapping that you can do to. Watching it will help you learn:
How to recognize when your adult reactions of today are actually manifestations of unresolved childhood experiences from the past.
How to address limiting beliefs like “I’m not enough” with self-compassion and self-acceptance (hint: Tapping can help!)
Self-care practices and affirmations to nurture your inner child and heal deep-seated emotional wounds.

This isn't just an informational event also, it's an experience. Attendees don't just leave with ideas or theories on how to make their life better, they leave actually feeling better. They leave with less stress, anxiety, overwhelm, anger, sadness, and other negative emotions.
They leave having cleared limiting beliefs around money, health, relationships and more. They leave having cleared childhood traumas.They leave the event better than when they went in and YOU can be part of it.

P.S. - The video is being released in the lead up to the 16th Annual Tapping World Summit. I highly reccommend registering as it's FREE and I’m VERY EXCITED to be part of it!!!
TAPPING TO STOP RUMINATING OVER THE PAST
Rumination is when your minds get stuck on certain thoughts, usually negative ones. It's like a broken record in your mind that won't stop playing. When we ruminate over the past we keep replaying certain events, worrying about things we said, overthinking our actions and wishing their was a different outcome. This can easily make you feel overwhelmed, anxious and has a detrimental impact on your mental health.
This is because it's a completed wasted energy - we can't change the past! What we can do though is anchor our minds in the present moment and tapping is a great way to do that and stop the rumination.
HAPPY HEADS - PRIVATE SESSIONS
We would never think twice about asking a fitness instructor to help us with our physical fitness so why do we ever question getting someone to help with our mental fitness? It's not your job to be an expert on how to look after your mind - that's what I do!
I help people of all ages look after their mental health and wellbeing and I take that role very seriously. I've been a trained Meditation Teacher and Emotional Freedom Technique (Tapping) Practitioner for nearly 8 years now and regularly do specific trauma training on the brain, the inner critic and how as humans our nervous systems react to stress, anxiety and trauma. I work with adults and also specialise in children and families. I bring a wealth of personal and professional experience into all that I do.
For a private session, I send out some pre questions first and then from that I tailor the session to your exact needs. The sessions consists of breathing techniques, guided meditation, and a full round of Emotional Freedom Technique (tapping). EFT is a powerful tool at helping you release negative tension held in both your body and mind. It’s the perfect partner to meditation as it helps your brain get to the core route of a problem and takes the emotional / negative charge away from it.
I always provide a full support document after the session and a meditation recording / tapping video for you to use. The sessions are 1hr 30 mins, £135 and will be over Zoom.

WORKPLACE BULLYING SUPPORT - 29th November, 8pm UK Time
Have you ever experienced bullying within the workplace? If you have, then you’re not alone. Recent studies show that 47% of UK workers have observed bullying at work and 1 in 10 people have experienced being bullied. It’s something that can deeply impact your mental health, isn’t always obvious to spot and affects thousands of people every day. Unlike bullying at school, which may be more overt, bullying within the workplace can be subtle with passive aggressive communication and gas lighting.
I experienced this myself 7 years ago and it’s not something I’d ever spoken about until recently. It had a huge impact on my mental health and the burnout it created took years to recover from. I've learnt so much over the 7 years I’ve been running Happy Heads and I wish I had these techniques back then because I would have been able to prevent burnout.
I can't control the bullies who you may be being faced with or change the toxic workplace you are in BUT one thing I can do is help you nurture your mental health, reduce anxiety and rebuild your confidence.
This 1 hour ONLINE workshop on 29th November, 8pm UK Time is about helping people find their voice again, validating their experience and reminding anyone that is going through it right now - that you’re not alone.
It includes:
Insight - into the brain, burnout and the impact of bullying on your mental health.
Breathing Techniques - to calm and soothe your whole nervous system.
Guided Meditation - to help you identify your worries and process your emotions.
EFT (Tapping ) - to help you overcome any anxious, negative thoughts that you might be having, overcome self doubt and rebuild your confidence.
Spaces are limited and only £20. To book on click the button below or get in touch kim@happyheads.me. The Zoom link will be sent to you a week before.
I can’t wait to see you all.
Big Love

REFRESH YOUR ENERGY
Your body is filled with a very complex nervous system that is always trying to regulate itself. Many things can have an impact on your nervous system, depleting your energy and affecting how you feel, often without us consciously realising it (doom scrolling through instagram for example).
One of the first steps to refreshing your energy is to first identify what your ENERGY DRAINERS are. What are the things in life that make you feel depleted, low, sad or exhausted?
The next step is to identify your ENERGY GIVERS. These are the things in life that feed your soul, make your cup feel full, make you happy and give your energy a boost.
Take a moment now to look through the below lists and see what your ENERGY DRAINERS vs ENERGY GIVERS are. You can then start adjust yourself accordingly - doing less of the drainers and more of the givers.
ENERGY DRAINERS
Lack of Sleep
Too much screen time / being on your phone too much
Social media
The news
Feeling stressed or anxious
Overworking or burning out
People pleasing
Overthinking
Dehydration / not drinking enough water
Not eating enough / not nourishing your body
Eating too much junk food
Fear and self doubt
Ruminating over the past or overthinking the future
Spending too much time around: bullies, people you can’t be yourself around, really negative people, people who are really judgemental, people who have a big ego, people who gossip a lot, complainers, people who expect perfection, people who are abusive, people who are fake
Unprocessed anger, bitterness, or resentment
Not exercising or physically moving your body
Family
Fixating on your imperfections
Focussing on what you don't have
Wearing a mask / hiding or suppressing emotions
Comparing your life to others
Doing a job that you hate
What else drains your energy? Remember that we are all different. Only you will truly know what your ENERGY DRAINERS are. Write out your list and then you can see what things you need to do less of or what changes you may need to make.
ENERGY GIVERS
Energy Givers
Meditation
Good quality sleep / rest
Breathwork / deep breaths
Nourishing food
Setting healthy boundaries with toxic people
Therapy – talking to people
Water / hydration
Being out in nature
Sunlight
Playing with my kids (parent specific)
Love and intimacy
Meaningful connections
Responding to your body’s needs/emotional needs
Tapping
Positive Affirmations
Learning something new
Cooking / Reading
Art / Being creative
Exercise / moving your body
Play! Doing something with no particular outcome - just for the fun of it.
Hot baths, massages
Watching movies that make you laugh
Dancing / listening to music that you love
Journaling
Doing a job you are passionate about
What else gives YOU energy? What feeds your soul and makes you happy? Write out a list and start to do more of the things in life that GIVE you energy.
Tapping is a great way to refresh your energy when you’re feeling a bit depleted because it physically brings your nervous system back into balance AND helps to rewire your brain to think differently. Watch this video now to see how easy it is to do.
For more support on nurturing your wellbeing please get in touch kim@happyheads.me I would love to hear from you xx
TAPPING TO BOOST SELF LOVE
Self Love is a term that is often talked about but many people still struggle with it. How do you cultivate self love if you've been speaking negatively to yourself for a long time?
This is where tapping is hugely powerful because it helps you to literally change the way you think - transforming your inner narrative from self criticism to self compassion and loving kindness.
Do you struggle to speak kindly to yourself?
Do you you find it hard to give yourself a compliment?
Do you often want to reject the term ‘I love myself?
Do you struggle to be compassionate to yourself?
Do you find it hard to say words of loving kindness to yourself?
Are you often self depricating?
If you answered YES to any of the above then this tapping process is exactly what you need right now! Watch the video above to boost your self love and kick start the path to thinking differently.
For 1:1 support please get in touch kim@happyheads.me I would love to hear from you xx
TAPPING TO PROCESS ANGER
Anger is a normal human emotion but it's often not something that we know how to process in a healthy and safe way. Quite often anger is the proceeding emotion that covers up what we're really feeling inside (scared, lost, rejected, unsafe, sad, abandoned, betrayed, lonely).
This illustration called the Anger Funnel gives a clear description of how anger can be the blanket emotion for other feelings:
Unprocessed anger can wreak havoc on your mind and body. Watch the video above to see how you use tapping to help you process your anger and free your nervous system of negative tension.
If you would like more support dealing with your anger please get in touch kim@happyheads.me I would love to help.

CULTIVATE HAPPINESS DAILY
A negative mind will never give you a positive life
We have over 6000 thoughts per day so if you're always thinking negatively, it's easy to see how it can quickly consume and overwhelm your mind. For a lot of people, thinking positively doesn’t come naturally - especially when you’re experiencing a difficult time or big transition in your life. The good news is, your brain is soft wired not hard wired, so you can change the way you think, you just need to give your brain the loving attention that it needs.
Life can be hard and stressful but if you learn and grow from the difficult situations you’re faced with - you’ll go with the flow of life and find it much easier to tap into your inner happiness and contentment.
It only takes 66 days to create a new neural pathway, which isn’t long in the grand scheme of life. Reframing your mind to think positively and being grateful for what you do have rather than focusing on what you don’t, is an invaluable tool for nurturing your wellbeing.
You control your happiness and you control your thoughts. Tapping is a great way change the way you think - try the Tapping Video above to boost your mood and kick start neuroplasticity .
THE POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING
Various studies have shown that positive thinking is good for both your physical and mental wellbeing. Here are just a few benefits of being happy:
Happiness predicts lower heart rate and blood pressure
Strengthens your immune system
Combats stress
Fewer aches & pains
Combats disease & disability
Lengthens our lives
ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE
Being happy doesn't appear with a magic wand, it's something that you cultivate daily and make a conscious choice about how you view your world. Everyday you are faced with situations that you can either view positively or negatively. If you continually default to a moan and groan you're not experiencing the benefits of an optimistic outlook. Of course this isn't always possible but if you continually TRY to look on the brighter side, your brain will be much happier. Instead of being pessimistic, ask yourself...
What would the positive perspective of this be?
What could I learn from this experience?
How can this teach me?
How can I grow from this situation?
Does it serve me any purpose to think negatively about this?
WAYS TO CULTIVATE HAPPINESS DAILY
Gratitude is an amazing way to overcome negative thinking. At the beginning and end of every day, write down three things you are grateful for. You can keep it simple and say - I am grateful for my health, the blue sky, my breath...
Process your emotions by regularly tuning in to see how you feel then naming your emotion (name it to tame it). This helps reduce the intensity of any difficult emotion that may want to overtake your happiness
Remember that you don't need to be happy all the time - that would be weird! Take the pressure off yourself and allow yourself to be human. We have a whole spectrum of emotions and happiness can sit by the side of your other emotions.
Drain your brain of negativity by journalling your stream of consciousness. All you do is write down your thought as they pop into your head. What's on the page won't make sense, this is a great way to get rid of any negative thoughts that have been building inside your mind.
Positive affirmations are a powerful way to reframe negative thoughts. Simply use the affirmation that is the exact opposite of your negative thought. For example if you keep thinking 'i'm not good enough' keep saying (during meditation or writing it down) I AM good enough.
Reframe your negative thoughts by using Tapping. Emotional Freedom Technique is a powerful tool at helping you change the way you think. Watch the video above to give your mood the boost it needs.
This is a guided meditation called Loving Kindness. Listen to the link above to increase your self love and cultivate happiness daily.
If you would like more support to nurture your mind please get in touch kim@happyheads I would love to help.
