Photo Tapping

[Remember to tap at least once with your goal list this week. If you need help on how to do that check out tapping with goals instruction.]

This week’s tool in some ways rhymes with the Music @ 13 tool because we are going to use things that remind us of the past to tune into emotion.

This week I would like you to spend a little time each day tapping with photos. To do this all you need to do is look at photos of yourself at different points in your life and tap.

For this exercise it is really important to linger and spend time with each photo. I don’t want it to be like flicking through a photo album online where you are quickly flipping past each picture.

Find a photo of yourself, look at it carefully and start tapping. What were you thinking about at that time? What were you feeling? What were your hopes? What were your biggest fears?

When you do this, choose many different points in your life and include a recent photo.

This type of tapping can feel a little cheesy and maybe even a bit uncomfortable. Challenge yourself and give it a try.

Note: If you would like to take this tool to the next level you can also tap while looking photos of loved ones like parents, siblings, partners, and your children.
