TAPPING TO REDUCE SOCIAL ANXIETY

Do you feel anxious in social situations?

If you do, then you’re not alone. Social anxiety is really normal, especially post pandemic. We were isolated from people for a long time and your nervous system would have adapted to that change so it’s understandable that people are still adjusting to social interactions. In small doses a bit of anxiety is no bad thing at all but what you don’t want, is for it to build and feel overwhelming to the point that you then start to avoid social situations because our brains NEED human connection.

Human brains are wired to connect with others, and this need is as fundamental as the need for food or shelter.

The human brain is wired to thrive in social environments. Our brains have specialised areas dedicated to processing social interactions, emotions, and empathy. When we engage in social connections, these brain regions are activated, leading to the release of feel-good neurotransmitters like oxytocin and dopamine, which contribute to positive emotions and wellbeing.

Whatever your fear is of social situations, try this tapping process now to calm your nerves and rebuild your confidence once again. Your brain will love you for it!

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.

Your “inner child” is a part of your subconsious that has been picking up messages way before it was able to fully process what was going on (mentally and emotionally). It holds emotions, memories and beliefs from the past as well as hopes and dreams for the future.

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.

3 MIN TAPPING TO REDUCE ANXIETY

Anxiety is a completely normal human emotion that everyone experiences to varying degrees. If we didn’t have it we would all be lemmings walking into the road, so anxiety quite literally keeps us safe.

The problem is, our amygdala (brains fear response) doesn’t know the difference between a real and imagined threat. This is why you can feel anxious speaking in public, going on a date, new social situations, thinking about a future event, making new friends, getting on a busy bus….none of these are REAL threats to your life but your amygdala still thinks you’re about to get eaten by a sober toothed tiger.

Tapping is the perfect way to face it head on, which is the quickest way to reduce anxiety and bring stillness to your body and mind. The physical tapping sends a calming signal directly to your amygdala and reminds your nervous system that you are in fact SAFE.

Are you feeling anxious right now? Try this quick 3 minute tapping process and see how you feel.

TAPPING ON THE STRESS OF MOVING HOUSE

Buying a house or moving home is one of the most stressful things to go through because our home is our core safety. We need a home to make us feel safe and secure. When that is up in the air, it can make us feel really unsettled, ungrounded and anxious.

I’ve just been through a year long (very stressful) process of buying and tapping really helped me the whole way through. It helped to process the anxiety of uncertainty, regularly reduce my stress levels and ensure that I was able to get through it without fully burning out.

I wanted to share a tapping process specifically designed to target the stress of moving home so if you’re going through it, watch this video now and hopefully it can help make you feel a bit more calm and grounded xx
