Carol Look's article 'Starting Over'

I'm including this here because it covers, in one session, the two different kinds of Set-Ups and Tapping Reminder phrases that I have been writing about.  Carol Look is a wonderful practitioner and writer and proponent of EFT worldwide.  I did a workshop with her in January and really enjoyed her work firsthand.

Starting Over...

Every minute of every day we have this glorious opportunity to start our day all over again...and we don't even have to go back to bed! Each moment we have a choice of what to feel, what to say, what to think, and most importantly, how to vibrate.  As you know, the Universe hears and responds to our vibration.  It's up to us to choose a vibration we want to offer deliberately to the ears of the Universe.

It feels so freeing to me to know that right in the middle of a bad day, a bad mood, or an irksome situation, I can choose to use EFT, write my appreciation list, focus on nature, listen to uplifting music, or use dozens of other games and activities that would literally start my day over again.  In just a few moments...

Where is your vibration now?  Do you want to stay there?  What would you need to do to improve or raise your current vibration?

So choose to start over right now...Start this minute over, this day, this month, this mood...Say "Thank You" to the Universe for what it has been bringing you, check your vibration, and take a left or right turn, whatever you need to do to get back on the right track.

1. EFT SETUP PHRASES:

The EFT SETUP Phrases for this topic are as follows:

While tapping the karate chop spot on either hand, repeat these phrases out loud, (or change the words to fit your exact situation).

"Even though I'm in a bad mood and feel upset right now, I can choose to start over whenever I feel like it."

"Even though I made a mistake and can't get over it, I choose to appreciate who I am anyway."

"Even though the truth is I feel down and out, another truth is I can change this feeling in an instant."

I have indicated where to tap while saying each of the phrases below. You may repeat the positive round more than once if you wish. (Those of you who are new to EFT may view a chart of the spots on my web site under the EFT pages.)

***Now for the phrases that focus on the problem***

Eyebrow: "I'm in a bad mood."

Side of Eye: "I'm not sure I want to change it."

Under Eye: "It doesn't feel good but I'm used to it."

Nose: "I'm in one of those bad moods again..."

Chin: "I don't think anything's working for me."

Collarbone: "I don't have what I want in my life."

Under Arm: "I'm a little tired of my bad mood."

Head: "I'm considering changing my feelings."

***Now for the positive focus on the solution***

Eyebrow: "I choose to focus on something I appreciate."

Side of Eye: "I choose to look for things that make me feel better."

Under Eye: "I choose to feel relief right now."

Nose: "I have the freedom to focus on anything I want."

Chin: "There are many things I like about my life right now."

Collarbone: "My life is full of things I appreciate."

Under Arm: "I feel relieved already."

Head: "I didn't know it was so easy to change my mood."

Then tap on the following phrases as you complete one more round:

Eyebrow: I love knowing we all deserve abundance...
Side of Eye: I choose to tune into the guidance I am receiving...
Under Eye: I appreciate the prosperity in my life...
Nose: I love appreciating myself, my friends, my opportunities...
Chin: I'm grateful for all the new channels for abundance...
Collarbone: I appreciate exactly who I am...
Under Arm: I appreciate all the lessons I have learned...
Head: I am so grateful for all the prosperity in my life.
