Releasing the Belief That Your Body Isn’t Good Enough.
Is there an aspect of your body that you don’t feel “enough” about?
Something like:
I’m not healthy enough,
I’m not thin enough,
I’m not pretty enough,
I’m not tall enough,
I’m not strong enough…
In this tapping session, we’ll work on releasing the beliefs that our bodies are limited or in some way don’t live up to the expectations that we or others have placed upon them.
For that I would like you to tune into something that you think that your body is not good enough in, like being healthy, strong, resilient, pretty, beautiful, attractive, slim or fit; anything that you have been beating yourself up over, because you felt like you have not been doing enough about it.
But as you know by now, beating yourself up about it does not help, so why do you keep doing it? When you start accepting the way you are, you come from a good place and it is a lot easier to improve on a good thing. We do not expect you to be perfect, we will accept excellence.
For a more detailed explanation of tapping, watch this video:

Even though I have been so tough on myself and my body, because it is not perfect and I want it to be perfect, and even with feeling all these things, I do love and forgive myself.
Even though I believe that my body is not good enough, because of (whatever is your issue), and even with having all these feelings I choose to love and accept myself as I am.

Now take a deep breath and let go
Now, it has probably taken you a long time to develop these negative feelings and beliefs about yourself and your body, so I do not want you to expect that they will disappear in one go. They might and they might not. If you do not feel different right away, do not worry, just repeat the tapping a few times and you will notice that over time you will change the way you feel and think about yourself. The most important thing to do besides the tapping is to catch yourself when you are beating yourself up or have negative feelings and thoughts about yourself. When you catch yourself, that is the perfect time to tap about it.
