Trauma and missing home

Trauma and missing home

Here in South Africa, most of the people I meet and socialize with are suffering with trauma. I find this very traumatic and feel so fearful and upset now. I have lower back pain and sciatica and feel it is connected with witnessing more trauma and missing my family and country. Setup: I miss my family, I feel it in my nerve in my sciatic nerve and all that is pressing on it. I deeply accept myself. I hate this trauma, hate the b....... A..... that caused all this hurt, hate apartheid and all it did, hate it hate it hate it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Reminder: I Hate the b....... A........Apartheid and the b......... A................ who did this. I hate this atrocity. I hate the A........... b........ racist thugs who were never imprisoned for their war crimes and all the devastation they caused, and most of all I wish I were home away from this pain. I hate the pain in people's eyes and the fear in their shoulders and wish I could make it all go away. I wish the perpetrators had been tried and their crimes recognized so the nation could heal. I hate…
Recession tapping

Recession tapping

We are in a recession. 7 out of 10 of my e-book purchase attempts are declined. Tapping: "Even though it's hard in this recession, I just find new ways to do things" "I just have to do more free things and more things". I found solutions and feel clearer and calmer.

Stop smoking you’re killing me

Stop smoking you’re killing me

Tapping and crying and laughing and feeling sorry for myself.... Setup and reminder (and story): I have just left a business meeting because most others there were smokers. Although it was in a restaurant inside where it is illegal to smoke....AAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!!!!!!!!!!! How do you say "Oh sh** I didn't know" in local talk? I had to in the end. I left Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......... I said "I'm sorry, I had no idea, I didn't know, thank you for inviting me" sh** sh** sh** sh** b*******!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!%&%£$"$£%$&^)*(&)&)*(^*&^%&%£$%&^$&^%^$^%£$"££"$£^%$&^$%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am in no state to sit down with smokers in an enclosed space. I wanted to do business, but not badly enough to end up in hospital.  I just felt bad leaving, especially being invited by well-meaning people. And the evening cost more than I could afford, for nothing. Ah well"...Sigh.... Tomorrow's another day...

Gym Motivation EFT

Gym Motivation EFT

I managed to do half an hour in the gym today! Yaaay! I went on the side-stepping cardio machine and at 3 minutes, I was exhausted, worried about money in this financial climate, hardly able to breathe, and all the hard work I'd been doing recently was catching up with me. I didn't feel I could do more. So I tapped on the UN point (I tap a set of points from the UN down with all my finger points): "I can do 10 minutes. I can do 10 minutes. Yes I can." I did just over 10 minutes and can feel the results already.

Frustration and worry are the order of the day, as with much to-ing and fro-ing,  I have missed the gym for over a week. I need the gym for my chest.

EFT for Trauma

EFT for Trauma

New in Cape Town, I am finding that even when communicating in English, there is a whole other language underneath that I just do not get. I am finding it hard to sell, and even when I think I've cracked it, I stumble against another challenge. I am so homesick for straight talk. Of course, I love my spouse and this country. It is just hard to learn all the hidden language and customs. As well as sales, there is a lot of trauma here. There is so much trauma that most don't realize they are traumatized. Witnessing this every day is very traumatizing to me. I tap every day on most trauma I encounter. I have just come off the phone from a client telephone EFT session, after doing solid tapping for about an hour. I feel so much better just tapping for this time. I have promised myself now I will log onto here daily and tap. When you have a chronic physical condition, anything that either emotionally or physically has a negative impact on you can make the condition worse.
