Doom Saying
Believing that things are going to be bad forever
Bad things happen to everyone. Things don’t go the way we expect or desire. This is a common part of life. However, our interpretations of these events, how we frame them in our minds, has huge influence over how those things affect and change us.It is very easy, when bad things happen, to feel like things will always be that way. That our life will always be flawed. That things will never go right for us. This kind of generalisation, while incredibly easy to do, is not helpful in the slightest.
Here’s a tapping to remove this behaviour pattern.
Setup
[while continually tapping the karate chop point, say the following phrases, and as you do, pay attention and pick out the one that has the biggest effect on yourself]
bad things always happen to me
bad things will always happen
bad things will continue to happen
bad luck always affects me
I’ve always had terrible luck
[now loop through an entire loop (from eyebrow right through to crown) using the phrase you picked out, and saying:]
even though I believe that [negative statement] I deeply and completely love and forgive (or accept) myself
[finally, loop through as many times as you like, saying the following. If any of the phrases resonate with you, feel free to say it over and over as many times as you like. Continue until you feel relief & calm]
sure, bad things do happen occasionally
but good things happen all the time
good things are always happening
the good things that have happened to me have changed my life for the better
good things will continue to happen to me
the more I get sorted, the fewer bad things will happen
the more I get sorted, the less I’ll be affected by bad things
bad events happen, but I don’t have to let them affect me
I don’t have to hang on to the bad things that happen to me
I choose to let go of bad events
I choose to see bad events as temporary
I choose to see good events as having a continuous positive effect on my life
I choose to realise that bad events are only temporary
