SELF-CARE TIPS
Adding Tapping to Our Routines
Did you know gently tapping on specific points on our body can help calm us?
Caregivers tend to have significantly higher cortisol levels compared to the average person. EFT tapping has been shown to significantly reduce cortisol levels, the stress hormone. Through the rhythmic action of tapping, the body interprets this as a signal to dial down the stress response, leading to a reduction in cortisol levels. This scientifically proven method promotes a sense of calm and restores mental equilibrium. Research studies have validated the effectiveness of EFT in reducing cortisol levels, providing a valuable tool for stress management and emotional well-being. Tap along with this video or create your own script, while you tap, anytime that you feel stress.
Tapping is easy, free and accessible at all times. If you give this tapping a try along with the video, let us know how it was for you at [email protected]
