EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Techniques and is a brilliant technique to release blocked energy, limiting beliefs, low emotions…
Today I want to help you understand how to use EFT tapping to help you as a blogger to create a successful blogging business.
I’m actually a qualified EFT Master Practitioner and on my other blog – Life and Business with Wendy, I regularly share EFT scripts for all kinds of things.
I’ve also got a really good EFT – HOW TO TAP GUIDE over on that blog if you are new to EFT Tapping.
How can EFT help bloggers?
There are many, many ways that EFT can help bloggers, below are some of the key ways.
- Clear limiting beliefs that can block success
- Raise your vibrations to achieve your blogging goals
- Clear resistance to achieving blogging success
- To improve focus and concentration
- To gain clarity in your blogging business
- To boost your energy
- To boost your motivation
- To improve your creativity
- To help you switch off when your mind is full of blogging ideas
EFT Tapping Points
For most EFT sessions, you will start with a set-up phrase. You can either place both of your hand palms down, on top of each other across your chest. Or tap the side of your hand (just below the base of the little finger).
A set-up phrase might be something like… I’m tapping to release any old beliefs that could block me from achieving the success I want.
Or… I’m tapping today to allow creative ideas to flow.
Then you move on to the tapping points. You only need to do the set-up at the very start of the EFT session and not at the start of each EFT round. Tap with one or two fingers repeated on each point.
- Top of the head
- Forehead
- Eyebrow (the thickest part)
- Side of the eye
- Under the eye
- Under the nose
- Under the mouth
- Collarbone (tap around the area at the base of the neck where your collarbone meets – You can tap with your fingers, the palm of your hand or make a fist)
- Under the arm
Optional EFT points
- Inside wrist
- Side of the thumb
- Side of the index finger
- Side of the middle finger
- Side of ring finger
- Side of the little finger
- Side of the hand
At each of the tapping points, you will say a statement. I’ve given you some examples below. Use these as ideas and have a go at creating your own EFT scripts too.
EFT – Clearing limiting beliefs that block success
We pick up all kinds of beliefs throughout our life. Some are helpful and some are not. Limiting beliefs can seriously block you from achieving the success you want – The life you want.
Maybe someone has said that “Blogging isn’t a real job, or, you can’t make a living from blogging (Hmm, you can). But these messages can get lodged in your subconscious mind and cause a block for you.
If you’re aware of any limiting beliefs that could block your blogging success, write them all down and tap on them, repeating each belief several times.
If you can’t think of any specific limiting beliefs, then you could start off with a set-up phrase saying “I’m tapping to release any limiting beliefs that are blocking me from achieving the blogging success I want.”
Then at each of the tapping points, you can simply say “Release” – Say release and take a nice deep breath in and out as you tap gently, then move to the next point.
Raise your vibrations to achieve your blogging goals
EFT is an amazing way to release stuck energy and raise your vibrations so that you feel great – feel really positive.
You can tap in things like, I love being a successful blogger, I feel great about my blogging business…
You can combine your AFFIRMATION FOR BLOGGERS with EFT. Simply say a new affirmation at each tapping point.
Clear resistance to achieving blogging success
There’s a law of attraction saying – If you don’t have what you want then you’re resisting it. So, you may as well clear out any resistance you may have.
- Set-up phrase example: I’m tapping to release any resistance to creating a successful blogging business.
- Then say RELEASE at the tapping point
Improve focus and concentration
As a blogger, you need to be able to stay focused and concentrate on creating content regularly and consistently.
When I’m focused and concentrating, I can easily complete all of my blogging tasks, but, when I’m not, those same blogging tasks can take me ten times longer.
If you’re struggling to stay focused and concentrate, you can tap out what you don’t want and then tap in what you do want.
- Set-up phrase: I’m really struggling to focus and concentrate
- Then do 2-3 rounds of the tapping points saying – Focus and concentrate
- Take a breather, shake out your arms and legs
- Now tap in what you want
- At each tapping point alternate between saying… I am Focused. And… I easily concentrate on the task I am doing.
- Do several rounds, ideally as you move around the room.
Gain clarity in your blogging business
When you have clarity in your blogging business, you will be able to progress faster.
You’ll be able to stay focused on the most important jobs and you’ll know the direction you intend to take your blog.
- Set-up phrase: I’m tapping for clarity in my blogging business
- Tapping points: Clarity or you can say “Clarity in my blogging business”
You can even ask specific things such as… Clarity about which blog post to write next.
Boost your energy levels
EFT works with your energy system, so if you’re feeling tired, you can tap for more energy. You will always be improving your energy flow whenever you do any tapping.
- Set-up: I’m tapping for more energy
- At the tapping points simply say “more energy”
Boost your motivation
Sometimes it can seem like your working so hard on creating blog posts and you’re not getting the traffic or income you want. This can feel really unmotivating.
But, you need to stay motivated to keep creating that content week in, week out. So, let’s tap it in.
- Set-up: I’m tapping for more motivation
- At the tapping points simply say “more motivation”
Improve your creativity
Blogging is a creative thing and in order to keep coming up with ideas for blog posts and ideas for how to write a really good post, you need to tap into your creativity.
- Set-up: I’m tapping for more creativity
- At the tapping points simply say “more creativity”
Help to switch off when you have a head full of blogging ideas
As a blogger I never run out of blogging ideas, however, those great ideas are often whizzing around my head at 2 am when I really need to be asleep.
If you find this happening regularly, you can try EFT. I actually recommend you do this once you finish your work for the day.
- Set-up: Once I finish my blogging work, I find it easy to switch off for the day. I always have plenty of ideas ready to work on.
- Tapping points: Easy to switch off
Now, if it’s the middle of the night I’d probably recommend listening to a sleep meditation or a Sleep hypnosis download (Affiliate Link)
I personally find that EFT tends to wake me up or I just can’t be bothered to go through the tapping points in the middle of the night. If I pop on an audio on, I can just close my eyes and listen to the words.
Blogging Resources
I hope you’ve found this post helpful. EFT Tapping has really helped me in my own blogging business.
I’d love you to head over to my BLOGGING RESOURCES – I believe so many bloggers fall into the trap of thinking they need to buy every resource going (I did).
Now with a lot of blogging experience behind me, I’ve listed the things you really do need (it’s very little), some things that I use that help to make my blogging life easier, loads of free resources and when you’ve got some extra money, what I recommend investing in.
