When it gets hectic at work, I tend to feel stressed. I tried the basic procedure and surprisingly, I didn't feel as stressed as I used to during similar work situations. I would say that my work stress went down a few points on the ten scale.
I don't know how EFT works. Perhaps it's basically a simple pattern interrupt? I noticed that when I started to feel work stress, thoughts of the basic EFT routine geared towards work stress came to mind. I'm now thinking of something different rather than the pressure, tasks, and duties at hand; thus, the pattern was interrupted and I felt something different.
I learned about all this from the tapping.com videos and the free ebook at emofree.com. I'm definitely going to look deeper into this. Anyone recommend any beginner DVD's or books?
Edit: The process involves focusing on the negative issue at hand and even using a "reminder phrase" to ensure that you maintain focus (i.e. "I doubt my ability to manage the promotion, or I feel inadequate about being promoted"). Isn't this counterproductive? Sounds like you're shooting yourself in the foot when you repeat a negative affirmation over and over.
