EFT tapping script: Missing How Things Used to Be

Use this session when something in your life has changed and you find yourself missing how things used to be.

Tap gently with two fingers, about seven times on each point. Say each phrase out loud or quietly in your head. There's no perfect way to do it.

Round 1: Say what's true

1. Side of handI miss how things used to be.
2. Top of headMy mind keeps returning to how it felt before.
3. EyebrowI’m not sure how to feel at home in this new version.
4. Side of eyeI notice what has changed everywhere I look.
5. Under eyeMy body feels the weight of this shift.
6. Under noseI want things to go back to how they were.
7. ChinPart of me feels like I’m mourning something with no name.
8. CollarboneI can admit that this change is hard.
9. Under armThis sense of loss is real, even without a single event.

Take one easy breath. Notice whether anything has shifted, even slightly. If nothing has changed yet, that’s completely okay. Keep breathing, and we’ll continue.

Round 2: Soften it

1. Side of handI can grieve what has changed without resisting what’s here.
2. Top of headIt’s okay to miss something and still move forward.
3. EyebrowI can hold on to the good parts of before.
4. Side of eyeI don’t have to compare every day to how it used to be.
5. Under eyeMy body can soften around this change.
6. Under noseI’m allowed to feel nostalgic without getting stuck.
7. ChinThis new chapter can hold meaning too.
8. CollarboneI can make peace with what has shifted.
9. Under armI can let today be its own moment.

Take another slow breath. Notice what feels different now. You don’t need the feeling to disappear. See if there’s simply a little less pressure, or a little more choice in how you meet this moment.

Round 3: Choose what's next

1. Side of handI trust that I can build something meaningful now.
2. Top of headI carry the best of before with me.
3. EyebrowI’m allowed to feel at home in this new chapter.
4. Side of eyeI can find new things worth noticing.
5. Under eyeMy body can settle into what’s here now.
6. Under noseI’m capable of adjusting to this change.
7. ChinThis version of life can still be good.
8. CollarboneI can honor the past while living in the present.
9. Under armI’m ready to meet what’s here now.
