EFT for Job Interview Stress: How to Eliminate Your Worries with EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique)
Nervous about your job interview? Are you worried about saying something bad? Read on and discover EFT, short for Emotional Freedom Technique, a very powerful way to relieve intense and stressful emotions. It’s easy to do and can be done anywhere. It only takes a few minutes, and it’s the perfect thing to have ready when you head off to job interviews. And I’m going to tell you exactly how to do it. I know it’s a little hard to believe, but EFT can turn your nervousness into calm with just a few minutes of tapping.
Before you begin, you should know the key points you’ll need to hit during this sequence.
The first is the so-called “karate chop” point, the part of the hand that karate masters often use to break bricks or boards.
Then there are a number of other points to touch on:
1. Brow Point: Just above the part of the eyebrow closest to the nose.
2. Side of the eye: about an inch to the side of the eye.
3. Under the eye: on the bony edge just below the eye.
4. Under the nose: on the upper lip just below the nose.
5. Chin: under the lower lip, on the chin.
6. Clavicle: In the central area of the clavicle (touch with your fist if you want).
7. Underarm: About four inches below the armpit, roughly where your bra strap would be.
8. Top of the head: on top of the head. Tap around the area with multiple fingers.
Here is the very basic version of how to do it:
Begin by touching the edge of the “karate chop” hand (the little side of the hand) with two or more fingers of the other hand, while repeating the following set-up statement:
“Even though I’m nervous about the job interview, I totally and completely accept myself.”
If you want, you can also vary the second half with “I choose to feel calm and confident.”
Then, you play several rounds of the other 8 points I listed above while repeating:
“I’m nervous about the job interview.”
After a couple of rounds, you may want to switch to the positive affirmation:
“I totally and completely accept myself.”
gold:
“I choose to feel calm and confident.”
Then take a deep breath and let it out slowly. Do you already feel calm? If you’re still nervous, just repeat as needed, until you feel calm enough to handle what you need to do.
Obviously, this is just the basic version. There are many variations and improvements to this method, but even the basic version can make an amazing difference in how you feel.
