A Midweek Reset with EFT

Most of us try to think our way out of stress, but the body doesn’t always follow. Stress lives in your nervous system, your breath, your muscles, and the deeper emotional layers you may not notice. One of the simplest tools Jen teaches inside The FLOURISH Way is EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), or tapping—a gentle method of calming your system by tapping on specific points while acknowledging what you’re feeling. You don’t have to feel grounded to begin. You simply meet yourself where you are and let your body unwind.

This is what makes EFT perfect for a midweek reset, especially when overwhelm or old patterns start to creep in.

Why EFT Works
Tapping sends a signal to the amygdala—the part of the brain that controls fight-or-flight—reducing the emotional charge behind stress, anxiety, overwhelm, and triggers. It helps your body shift out of survival mode so you can think clearly and respond rather than react. It’s simple, fast, and highly effective.

Try This Midweek EFT Routine
Use this when you:
• Feel stressed or overstimulated
• Get triggered by a situation or conversation
• Are overwhelmed by your to-do list
• Notice emotions building in your body
• Need a quick reset without overthinking

Tap gently on each point while repeating the phrase (or adjust it to fit your situation):

1. Back of hand (side of palm)
   “Even though I feel this stress, I’m right here and I’m safe.”

2. Top of head
   “This is a lot, and I’m letting my body soften.”

3. Eyebrow
   “I acknowledge what I’m feeling.”

4. Side of eye
   “My body doesn’t have to hold this alone.”

5. Under eye
   “I can release what isn’t mine to carry.”

6. Under nose
   “I’m allowed to let go.”

7. Chin
   “I’m supporting myself through this moment.”

8. Collarbone
   “I’m choosing ease right now.”

Repeat the sequence two or three times, letting your breath naturally slow. Many people feel their shoulders drop, their chest open, and the emotional intensity begin to shift.

Use This Anytime You Need a Reset
EFT becomes more effective with practice. Your body learns the pattern, your nervous system responds more quickly, and you may find stress dissolves within minutes. It’s one of the simplest ways to support emotional health throughout the week.
