Self-image
ОглавлениеHow many of us are completely happy with the way we look? Most people feel discontented with some aspect of their appearance; they are ‘too fat’, ‘too thin’, ‘too short’ or ‘too tall’. Or they may feel ugly or unattractive because of one particular part of their body – ‘My nose is too big’, I don’t like my thighs’, ‘I wish my teeth didn’t stick out’, ‘If only my bum wasn’t so big’. These insecurities can erode our self-esteem. In the same way, some people feel ‘clumsy’, ‘awkward’ or ‘dumb’ and this can prevent them from enjoying certain activities. For some, reassurance alone is not enough to allay these doubts and insecurities but EFT will help you to overcome negative thoughts and feelings connected with your self-image.
Feeling uncomfortable about ourselves can lead to shyness, blushing, stammering or profuse sweating and these can all cause acute embarrassment. It is very easy to find ourselves caught in a vicious cycle, becoming tense at the mere thought that we might blush or trip over our words, thus compounding the fear of it happening again. EFT can help break the chain of events that precede such complaints.
