How to Stay Consistent with Fitness Resolutions Using EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques/tapping).
EFT, also known as tapping, can help overcome the emotional and mental blocks that often derail fitness goals right off the track.
Identify the Challenges
First Identify the Challenges, and that means all of them. Remember just one percent better in many areas is a whole lot better. Thank you James Clear in Atomic Habits!
Before you begin, pinpoint the specific challenges you face in sticking to your fitness resolutions, such as:
• Lack of motivation.
• Feeling overwhelmed or too busy.
• Negative self-talk (e.g., “I’m too out of shape”).
• Fear of failure or judgment at the gym.
Use EFT to Address Emotional Blocks around these challenges.
Second, use EFT to Address Emotional Blocks around these challenges.
Follow these steps to tap through the barriers holding you back:
Step 1: Acknowledge the Problem and Rate your emotional charge from 0 (none) to 10 (extremely charged).
Start with a setup statement while tapping on the Karate Chop point (side of your hand) saying set up phrase 3xs:
Use the words that resonate with you, this is very important!
“Even though I feel unmotivated to work out, I deeply and completely accept myself.” please use the words that resonate with you, this is very important! So if you are not quite to completely accepting yourself, you may change it to I am thinking it will be good to deeply and completely accept myself.
“Even though I feel intimidated going to the gym, I accept myself as I am.”
Step 2: Tap Through the Points
As you tap on each point, focus on your specific feelings or thoughts:
Moving on to Top of Head: “I don’t know if I can make it this time.”
Inner Eyebrow: “I feel so unmotivated to work out.”
Side of Eye: “I’m afraid I’ll fail again.”
Under Eye: “I don’t have the energy to exercise.”
Under Nose: “I hate how I feel about my body right now.”
Chin: “It feels so hard to stick to a routine.”
Collarbone: “What if I can’t keep this up?”
Under Arm: “I’ve quit so many times before.”
Liver meridian: one inch under nipple for men, at bra line at center of ribs for women: “I feel ashamed of how I look”
This is called a round, continue to repeat until the charged has dropped to a 2-3 or under.
Time to Reframe Your Thoughts, speaking to yourself as a very dear child. shifting to positive affirmations:
Eyebrow: “I am ready to start fresh and try again.”
Side of Eye: “I can take small steps to improve my fitness.”
Under Eye: “I have the power to stay consistent this time.”
Under Nose: “I am capable of reaching my fitness goals.”
Chin: “I choose to make my health a priority.”
Collarbone: “Each workout is progress toward the person I want to be.”
Under Arm: “I am proud of myself for committing to this journey.”
Top of Head: “I am building a stronger, healthier me every day.”
Liver meridian: “I am really proud of what I am doing for myself.”
Creating a Routine with EFT
Creating a Routine with EFT will bring new habits and achievements easier and with less resistance. Using tapping as part of your pre-workout routine or whenever you feel resistance for most anything.
Give yourself the gift of celebrating even the small wins, who better to encourage you than you? Give it a try and see if encouragement doesn’t increase from even unexpected places!
Tapping will help you focus on your progress instead of perfection. Remember to reflect on small successes. Effort instead of perfection is the key to consistency!
Make It a Habit
Consistency comes from addressing emotional hurdles as they arise. Incorporate EFT into your daily routine to reinforce positive habits and reduce resistance.
Here’s to your health!
By pairing your fitness resolutions with EFT, you’ll be better equipped to overcome obstacles and stay motivated throughout the year. Starting 2026 fitter and healthier than ever!
Much Love and Many Blessings to you and yours!
