Not liking ourselves is an issue for many of us. Even though we may project a different face to the world, deep down inside far too many of us don’t like ourselves very much. It seems to always be easier to find things to criticize about ourselves than to find things to praise. How often have you found yourself making some kind of silly mistake, and then saying to yourself, inside your head, “You big idiot!”? Self talk is a definite indicator of how well we like or don’t like ourselves. Those instantaneous reactions that we have to the things we say and do are coming straight from our subconscious, and are indicative of our true feelings about ourselves. I have often thought that if I judged the people around me as harshly as I judge myself, I wouldn’t have any friends! lowselfesteemNobody would tolerate the kind of comments that I make about myself, and yet it’s commonplace for me to belittle myself in that way. For so many of us, we have expectations for friends, family and loved ones that are much more reasonable than the expectations that we have for ourselves. We are vigilant, subconsciously, always watching for the things we do and say that, according to our rigid and unrealistic expectations, are not acceptable. When we don’t meet our expectations, we’re quick with the self criticism, not ever giving ourselves an inch of slack. With EFT, we can reach that inner critic and quiet that voice. Wouldn’t you like to feel better about yourself, to genuinely like who you are? Give this tapping script a try!
