How to use EFT tapping for clarity when making decisions and choices.

Does making decisions drive you crazy?

In my last post I shared my top tips to help you choose what’s right for you. This week, I’m going deeper, and I’m sharing about how to use my favourite tool, EFT tapping, to help you get out of all the crazy thoughts that can keep you confused when you’re trying to make a decision or a choice.

Firstly, I’d like to make a quick clarification.

Are you choosing or deciding?

It may seem like a subtle difference, yet it has a big influence. When we ‘decide’ something, it feels final. It’s like coming to conclusion, it shuts down other options or possibilities. That’s what most of us desire, to get out of the question, to have that certainty. Yet, there’s a pressure that accompanies decision making. It becomes important and so we’re under the stress of ‘having to get it right’.
Choosing, on the other hand, as I mentioned last time, has more flexibility. You can choose and then choose again. That takes the pressure off (which is why I adore my last tip of the last post), even when we stick with our original choice.

Why EFT tapping helps.

When we have trouble making decisions and are concerned about getting it right we bring to the fore old patterns and behaviours that often do not serve us. We can remember other times that we made decisions that didn’t go well (thus effectively pre-paving a similar result this time). When the decision seems significant, and we lack confidence in ourselves we can feel buckle under that pressure and lose our capacity to choose with ease.

When we use EFT tapping and directly address these issues, for example, the stress of choosing or the memories of past ‘failures’, those issues and insecurities start to fade. A decision that seems like a mountain in one minute can be reduced to a mole-hill several minutes later, once we start to clear the worries and concerns underneath.

I see this most clearly in my work with pet owners. When they have elderly pets and are making decisions about treatment or even euthanasia, they come to me highly stressed, emotionally charged and sometimes paralysed by the potential significance of the choices they face (it can literally be a life or death decision).
I’m aware that often, deep down, they are aware of the best course of action, yet doubt themselves or over-think themselves into confusion.
When I get them to tune in to how they are feeling and then to tap on that, things start to change in moments. The tapping basically gets them out of fight or flight mode, so they can start to think clearly again. When we address the underlying issues e.g, guilt or self judgement about what else could have been done, it’s like a veil has been lifted and they’re no longer being ruled by their emotions.
Then, they start to be able to choose with clarity, in the present moment. The relief on their faces is palpable and the way forward becomes clear. That’s why I adore EFT tapping.
