How do I want to feel?
Emotional energy can respond to intention. Indeed, a core component of EFT Tapping is to acknowledge how we’re feeling in the “Even though I feel ____” part of the setup and then…
The default answer is “I deeply and completely accept myself.”
That is not always how I want to feel. If you’re learning tapping, or even if tapping isn’t your thing, this question can help tune you to a state-of-being (a feeling) that you want, that would be helpful towards your thriving.
But I gotta admit something here…
When I first started using this question, it was not very helpful. Why? Because my answer was “I want to feel happy” or “I want to feel grateful for what I have”.
A Bridge Too Far
With this question I first start with something like “I want to feel ok with this unwanted reality.” See if I can land somewhere in the emotional vicinity of “okay with what is.”
Okay with What IS… that has given me so much relief over the years. Wow.
@CarolLook includes in her tapping “I accept who I am and how I feel about this.” That also helps a lot.
So… “How do you want to feel right now?”
