Do you have ANTs
in your head?
|
Do you ever get
compliments or praises from people, and yet you don't truly
believe the POSITIVE comments they're saying about you?
Have you ever heard somebody give you a compliment, and
somebody else say a negative criticism about you, and you
automatically dismiss the compliment as fiction, but you
ACCEPT the negative criticism as fact?
Why is it that you automatically accept the negative
comments, but dismiss the positive comments, outright? Well,
when this happens, it is directly due to the negative
programming that has been building up within your mind
throughout your lifetime.
Here is a metaphor for what stops many of us from believing
in ourselves, and keeps us from going for what we want most
in
our lives. This metaphor states that our brains have a
serious ANT problem.
What is an ANT?
In this case, ANT is an acrostic, which stands for
Automatic Negative Thoughts
And we all have them. They're those "Yeah,
but" moments.
You
know, those little negative thoughts that pop into the back
of your mind immediately AFTER you receive a compliment...
"Yeah, but...no
matter how hard I work, _____ will never work out for me."
"Yeah, but...these things never seem to work for me."
"Yeah, but...I always manage to mess things up!"
"Yeah, but...if I screw this one up, I'll be _____!"
"Yeah, but...what if I am not able to _____?"
"Yeah, but...if only I was _____."
"Yeah, but...if only I had _____."
"Yeah, but...I just wish I _____."
"Yeah, but...I'm not nearly as pretty as _____."
"Yeah, but...I just wish my voice was as feminine as _____."
"Yeah, but...if that's true, then why do I always feel like
such a big loser?"
"Yeah, but...I'm not really as good at ______ as everyone
seems to think I am."
"Yeah, but...I'm not really good enough for ______."
"Yeah, but...my _____ still doesn't think I am _____."
Whenever you
think a negative thought following a compliment, you get
ANTs in your head! |
However, it is now
possible to effectively reverse the effects of negative programming
with repeated use of this special
Tap8
Power-Tapping
protocol.
Here
you will use this Tap8
Power-Tapping Protocol for
Cleaning The Automatic Negative
Thoughts (ANTs)
Out
Of Your Head
Special
Note:
If you're thinking
that this exercise might make you become conceited or arrogant.
Don't
worry, it won't.
Instead, you will quickly begin to exude a strong image of self
confidence and self assurance.
Plus, you will likely want to help others to become just as confident
and self-assured as you are.
And
that's usually a GOOD thing, right?
DO THIS FIRST:
|
Start
repeating to yourself, some of the compliments that you've
received from others. Now, try to concentrate very deeply on
what negative thoughts and feelings you're getting after you
hear yourself saying these positive compliments out loud.
Now, make a list of every negative thought or emotion that
pops into your mind whenever you hear any compliments, or
other positive comments, being made about you.
|
Don't be afraid to add something to the list if it feels stressful to
you.
Please try to be as specific as possible. And just remember....
THERE ARE NO
WRONG ANSWERS!!!
Start each statement
in your list with the letter
I
|
I've
given you several good examples so you will know exactly
what you need to do. You are welcome to use these stressful
examples in your list, and add more of your own. These
examples are offered to help REMIND you of many different
types of common stressful issues.
You
SHOULD STILL tap through all of these examples
even if they do not directly apply to your own situation.
Also, wherever you see a blank spot in a phrase, such as
__________, please fill in the blank your own appropriate
response if possible (and if it
is applicable). |
|
What negative thoughts or emotions automatically pop into my mind whenever I receive a compliment?
I often
feel like I don't measure up,
I often feel like I'm not good enough,
I keep doubting my ability to _______,
I don't feel confident in myself and my abilities when it
comes to ______,
I don't know if I am good enough to _______,
I just don't know if I can _______,
I feel like I am not as _______ as other girls at _______,
I don't feel like I'm _______ enough to be _______,
I don't think I am attractive enough to ________,
I don't think I am a good enough communicator to ________,
I don't think I am smart enough to ________,
I feel like I am such a big loser,
I don't feel like I deserve to be successful,
I feel like I am not worthy of having good things in my
life,
I feel like my friends think I am ________,
I feel like everybody thinks of me as the ________,
I still feel some of this remaining stress from ________,
Please add more automatic
negative thoughts & emotions of your own to this list
(you can also add non-transgender related, personal ANTS if
you want). |
Note:
Whenever you tap out the anxious intensity from the negative
aspects of an issue, it can be extremely helpful
if you replace that negative issue with an empowering,
positive CHOICE statement (a
Tap8
Power-Phrase).
And, there is nothing more empowering than making a
definitive choice to do something. That is why this
next step gives you a positive-choice affirmation
immediately following the removal of a negative issue using
the special anxiety-clearing exercises in this
Tap8
course.
PLUS, this step will help to make it a permanent habit for
you to automatically LINK a positive thought to any negative
issue, so that whenever something negative happens to you, a
positive thought will immediately
and automatically pop into your mind
instead of a negative thought! |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DO THIS SECOND:
Create Your
Tap8
Power-Phrases...
Write "Even
though" in front
of each of your statements.
Then, add the following
words to the end of your statement:
"I
CHOOSE to accept
and believe in
myself, completely just as I am!"
For
example:
If your statement was...
"I am not really as
secure with myself as everybody thinks I am."
Your new statement would then become:
"Even though
I am not really as
secure with myself as everybody thinks I am,
I CHOOSE to accept
and believe in myself, completely just as I am!"
Do that for every
issue statement in your list from above.
You are welcome to
modify the positive choice
Power-Phrases so they are
more applicable
to your own specific needs.
Just make sure every statement is positive, personal, and in the
present tense
(as though it is already happening now).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DO THIS
THIRD:
Perform
Your Tap8
Power-Tapping Procedure
...just like you did in your practice exercises.
And remember, this works the same way as anything else, the more tapping
repetitions you do,
the better your results
will be! So...KEEP
TAPPING!
Step 1
Select
a statement from your list above, and
mentally visualize
(imagine) yourself
feeling the stressful intensity that
you WOULD feel if you were actually experiencing
that
right now!
Step 2
Notice
how much stressful anxiety you feel when you imagine
yourself actually being exposed
to that issue.
Then, give that level of stressful anxiety a number rating
between 0 - 10...
(with 0 meaning that you feel no anxiety;
and 10 meaning that you feel extremely high anxiety).
Write this number next to the statement on your list.
Step 3
Concentrate
Deeply
on the
issue, and tap, tap, tap
continuously, until your emotional
distress has been reduced
down to nothing (or when your number rating drops to ZERO)!
You will need to CONCENTRATE DEEPLY on how each issue makes
you FEEL (that means,
getting your anxiety soaring to high
levels)...while tapping through all eight
Power-Tapping
points.
REMINDER...
If you are not feeling any stressful intensity, then there
is nothing available for you to
clear out, and then the
tapping
will not help you.
Therefore it is VERY important that you force
yourself to
FEEL as much anxious intensity as possible from each issue
that you have listed.
That way, the tapping will be the most
effective for reducing the distress you
feel from ALL
of your issues.
Just as you did during your practice exercises, repeat the
statement, while you tap through all
eight points
continuously...until your remaining stress-intensity has
been reduced down to nothing
when you think about that
issue. Once you have finished tapping on all eight
Tap8
Power-Tapping
points...remember to take a deep breath,
and BLOW IT OUT slowly
after you complete each tapping
round.
Step 4
After
you have tapped through a complete round, think about that
stressful issue again,
and really try to build your
stress-levels back up as much as possible. Now, if you can
still feel
strong negative feelings or stress from the
issue, then you should tap out those remaining
negative
thoughts and feelings IMMEDIATELY (do some more tapping
rounds on that issue).
Step 5
Now,
check to see how you feel about that issue. Notice if the
anxiety you now feel from that
issue has decreased
from how it felt before you started tapping. If you still
feel some remaining
anxiety from the issue, give it a number
on the 0 - 10 point scale. If it is above a 0 (zero),
then
you should do additional rounds of the tapping on all eight
tapping points.
Your goal is to reduce your anxiety all the
way down to zero (no anxiety remaining) by
repeating this
process.
In addition...if there are any examples listed that do NOT
cause you to feel any anxiety or stress,
then simply tap
through each one of those examples as though you DO feel
(just pretend) anxiety and
stress from them. Tap through
each one of those examples for at least one complete
tapping round.
Doing this will help to insure that you will
be
less likely to be affected by those issues at some point
in
the future!
Keep repeating this process until you no longer feel any
anxiety from each issue you've listed.
You will gain positive results for some issues much faster
than you will for other issues.
So, be patient, and your results will come for you.
Tap8
is a process, NOT an event!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE...
It is very common for
other thoughts or emotions to pop into your mind while
you are tapping.
While you're doing the tapping exercises,
you will likely discover all kinds of new, unrealized
thoughts
and emotions that may have been
buried deep within your subconscious mind for
years...
possibly even since your early childhood.
If, at anytime, while you're tapping through any of the
exercises in this Tap8
Power-Tapping course,
you notice any other negative thoughts or stressful emotions
popping up, even if they do not directly
apply to the
particular exercise you're working on at the moment, then
you should write
them down,
and
take some extra time to tap for all of those negative
issues, as soon as possible! It's THOSE
negative thoughts
and emotions that will get in your way as you go forward in
your life!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've included these two helpful
illustrations for you...just in case you forget where
the eight
Tap8
Power-Tapping
points are
located...
 
Remember...
There simply
is
NO WAY
to do the
Tap8
Power-Tapping
wrong!
This methodology is so forgiving that you literally cannot get it
wrong.
As long as
you are tapping while you're concentrating on an issue,
it's working for you...
by whittling away more and more of your stress & anxiety each day!
So just keep
tapping everyday!
