EFT tapping script: Stop Doomscrolling

Use this the moment you catch yourself doomscrolling and want to actually put the phone down.

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.

The tapping round

  1. Side of handI've been scrolling longer than I meant to.
  2. Top of headNone of this is actually making me feel better.
  3. EyebrowIt's okay that I got pulled into this.
  4. Side of eyeI don't need to see one more thing before I stop.
  5. Under eyeI can choose to put this down right now.
  6. Under noseMy attention is mine to take back.
  7. ChinI don't have to know everything happening right now.
  8. CollarboneI can give my mind something quieter instead.
  9. Under armI'm putting this down and choosing something else.
