Buying a house or moving home is one of the most stressful things to go through because our home is our core safety. We need a home to make us feel safe and secure. When that is up in the air, it can make us feel really unsettled, ungrounded and anxious.
I’ve just been through a year long (very stressful) process of buying and tapping really helped me the whole way through. It helped to process the anxiety of uncertainty, regularly reduce my stress levels and ensure that I was able to get through it without fully burning out.
I wanted to share a tapping process specifically designed to target the stress of moving home so if you’re going through it, watch this video now and hopefully it can help make you feel a bit more calm and grounded xx

TAPPING TO REDUCE STRESS
WHAT IS STRESS?
"A state of worry or mental tension caused by a difficult situation" World Health Organisation
Stress is a normal part of being a human being, it's a natural response that prompts us to address challenges and threats in our lives. The problem is we live in such a fast paced digital world where people feel like they need to be switched on 24/7 so there are many things that can stress us out.
Endless access to world news, social media, busy jobs, the cost of living, parenting juggles, mobile phones, and the general day to day stress of life...it's easy to see how a normal amount of stress can quickly lead into chronic stress.
MANAGING YOUR STRESS
Managing your stress levels is an essential way to look after both your mental and physical health but it's important to remember that life doesn't have to be completely free of stress for you to be able to effectively regulate your nervous system. We can't control what life throws at us, but you can control how you react.
Tapping to Reduce Stress
Tapping is a wonderful way to bring your nervous system back into balance anytime you feel stressed, try this 10 Min tapping sequence above and notice how it makes you feel with no judgement.
For more support reducing your stress levels please get in touch kim@happyheads.me I would love to hear from you xx

CULTIVATE HAPPINESS DAILY
A negative mind will never give you a positive life
We have over 6000 thoughts per day so if you're always thinking negatively, it's easy to see how it can quickly consume and overwhelm your mind. For a lot of people, thinking positively doesn’t come naturally - especially when you’re experiencing a difficult time or big transition in your life. The good news is, your brain is soft wired not hard wired, so you can change the way you think, you just need to give your brain the loving attention that it needs.
Life can be hard and stressful but if you learn and grow from the difficult situations you’re faced with - you’ll go with the flow of life and find it much easier to tap into your inner happiness and contentment.
It only takes 66 days to create a new neural pathway, which isn’t long in the grand scheme of life. Reframing your mind to think positively and being grateful for what you do have rather than focusing on what you don’t, is an invaluable tool for nurturing your wellbeing.
You control your happiness and you control your thoughts. Tapping is a great way change the way you think - try the Tapping Video above to boost your mood and kick start neuroplasticity .
THE POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING
Various studies have shown that positive thinking is good for both your physical and mental wellbeing. Here are just a few benefits of being happy:
Happiness predicts lower heart rate and blood pressure
Strengthens your immune system
Combats stress
Fewer aches & pains
Combats disease & disability
Lengthens our lives
ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE
Being happy doesn't appear with a magic wand, it's something that you cultivate daily and make a conscious choice about how you view your world. Everyday you are faced with situations that you can either view positively or negatively. If you continually default to a moan and groan you're not experiencing the benefits of an optimistic outlook. Of course this isn't always possible but if you continually TRY to look on the brighter side, your brain will be much happier. Instead of being pessimistic, ask yourself...
What would the positive perspective of this be?
What could I learn from this experience?
How can this teach me?
How can I grow from this situation?
Does it serve me any purpose to think negatively about this?
WAYS TO CULTIVATE HAPPINESS DAILY
Gratitude is an amazing way to overcome negative thinking. At the beginning and end of every day, write down three things you are grateful for. You can keep it simple and say - I am grateful for my health, the blue sky, my breath...
Process your emotions by regularly tuning in to see how you feel then naming your emotion (name it to tame it). This helps reduce the intensity of any difficult emotion that may want to overtake your happiness
Remember that you don't need to be happy all the time - that would be weird! Take the pressure off yourself and allow yourself to be human. We have a whole spectrum of emotions and happiness can sit by the side of your other emotions.
Drain your brain of negativity by journalling your stream of consciousness. All you do is write down your thought as they pop into your head. What's on the page won't make sense, this is a great way to get rid of any negative thoughts that have been building inside your mind.
Positive affirmations are a powerful way to reframe negative thoughts. Simply use the affirmation that is the exact opposite of your negative thought. For example if you keep thinking 'i'm not good enough' keep saying (during meditation or writing it down) I AM good enough.
Reframe your negative thoughts by using Tapping. Emotional Freedom Technique is a powerful tool at helping you change the way you think. Watch the video above to give your mood the boost it needs.
This is a guided meditation called Loving Kindness. Listen to the link above to increase your self love and cultivate happiness daily.
If you would like more support to nurture your mind please get in touch kim@happyheads I would love to help.
Big Love

TAPPING TO NURTURE YOUR INNER CHILD
“Hold the hand of the child that lives in your soul. For this child, nothing is impossible.”
~Paulo Coelho
Your childhood forms the foundation of your mental health. It creates a blueprint for who you believe you are and how you see the world around you. Some memories will be positive and some will be difficult and challenging. Your inner child is that part of you that for whatever reason maybe didn’t have their needs met as a child.
When we have a strong emotional reaction to something we’re reacting to the present moment because of our past and it’s often your inner child that’s been triggered.
For example, let’s say your boss criticises you for a project you worked really hard on and you feel flooded with emotion - this may be triggering your inner child and your limiting belief ‘I’m not good enough’.
You may be able to access some core memories to help understand your emotional reactions but most will be completely unconscious.
No parent is perfect, even the most loving parents make mistakes and of course childhood can be tough in many ways. Nurturing your inner child is a powerful way to bring inner peace to your internal world and give your mental health the boost it needs.
Tapping is a great place to start. Watch the video above to start the healing process.
RELEASING STRESS
THE POWER OF YOUR BODY
"You need to listen to your body because your body is listening to you"
Phil McGraw
Your body is an incredible source of wisdom and can tell you a lot but you need to listen to it. It’s often your body that will know before you do if you’re stressed and burning out. It could be an achey back, twitching eyes, bad skin, irritable gut, bloating, chest pains - these are all physical symptoms of stress.
You have a nerve called the vagus nerve that connects directly from your brain stem through your chest, down to your abdomen and carries sensory information from the internal organs back to the brain - your body and mind are completely interconnected.
Anytime you feel stressed your amygdala has been triggered and your body begins to go into the fight and flight response. In short periods this is ok but if you're constantly stressed this can cause havoc on your nervous system and body.
We often go straight to the physical problem to fix stress but it begins in the mind - calm your mind and your physical wellbeing will improve.
*if you're worried that something isn't stress related always check with your doctor.
LISTEN TO YOUR BODY
When you feel stressed or anxious your body is quick to respond so it’s important to know what physical sensations you experience and how stress manifests for you. When you start to listen carefully to your body you understand that it's telling you (often before you realise) that you're stressed and need slow down. Here are a few ways in which stress can physically manifest:
Sweating - palms, face, back (any area of the body)
Nausea - feeling sick or actually being sick
Headaches - varying areas and pain intensity, migraines
Breathing & Chest - breath begins to shorten, which raises your heart beat, tension or tightness in chest
Gut - tense feeling in stomach or just above, going to the loo more or less than usual, IBS, bloating, butterflies, digestive problems
Numbness - in areas of the body that usually have more sensation
Appetite - hunger or loss of appetite
Twitchy eye - excessive blinking or sporadic twitch
Muscle aches - achy limbs, tension in back & shoulders, tight throat
Skin - bad skin (spots), breakout, irritation or blushing
Monthly Cycle - for women your periods can stop
HAPPY HEADS EXERCISE
Take a minute now to tune into your body and list out what reactions you have when you feel stressed or anxious...
MEDITATION - BODY SCAN
Below a guided body scan meditation. This is a really effective way to check-in daily with how your body is feeling and process any stress that you might be experiencing. Try not to judge or change whatever comes up, simply notice with a gentle curiosity.
HAPPY HEADS BURNOUT PROGRAMME
I’ve faced many difficult things in my life but burnout was one of the most traumatic. Completely losing your mental health is terrifying and it takes time for your nervous system to recover. Overcoming burnout and learning how to nurture my mental health and wellbeing was profound and one of the reasons I'm so passionate about helping people do the same.
Watch this video to see how you can use tapping to process burnout and bring your nervous system back into some much needed balance.
“I contacted Kim while in chronic burnout desperate for tools to support myself mentally. From the initial chat she listened, put me at ease and reassured she could help. The programme was hugely insightful and expertly led by Kim, by the end she had delivered on all aspects from our first conversation and much more. I can not thank her enough for giving me new found confidence, resilience and excitement for what the future holds!”

TAPPING TO SUPPORT YOUR FERTILITY JOURNEY
Trying to get pregnant can be really stressful and it's hard to not let it consume your thoughts because you know when your cycle is and you know when it hasn't worked that month. Social media can also make it tens times harder, when you feel like everyone else around you is pregnant or has a baby already. Miscarriage is also hugely challenging both mentally and physically and sadly so common for a lot of women. Unless you've been through it, it's hard to describe just how tough it is.
Every woman's fertility journey will be different and there may be many challenges that come your way. While you can't control everything you may face, you can control your thoughts and your mindset to ensure it doesn't become overwhelming.
Tapping is a powerful tool to help you overcome your negative thoughts and reframe the way you think. The physical tapping also helps to bring your nervous system back into balance which is exactly what you need when your body and mind are going through so much.
Watch this video to see how tapping can support your fertility journey. Please share it with anyone you feel might need it and get in touch for some one to one support kim@happyheads.me I would love to hear from you xx

TAPPING FOR TIRED MUMS
Being a mum to a little one can feel really challenging because you are often sleep deprived and that's tough! When you’ve had a bad nights sleep there is a 66% amplification to your brains amygdala (fear response) which means:
- It’s easy to feel more anxious
- Harder to think clearly and focus
- Easier to think negatively
- Harder to self regulate your emotions
- Your nervous system may feel frazzled and more sensitive
- You may feel floaty and like you’re on another planet
Whilst I can’t give you the gift of sleep I do know how to calm your nervous system, which is all you need to do on days when you’ve had zero sleep and you'll be surprised at how much more awake you feel afterwards!

MANIFEST THE LIFE YOU WANT
"A manifestation is something that is put into your physical reality through thought, feelings and beliefs" Law of Attraction
Without consciously realising - we are always manifesting. Every thought you have creates an energy flow within and around your physical being. This energy attracts its likeness. So if you’re thinking “I’m not good enough” then your energy may start to reflect that and it will be harder to attract positive experiences that align to your authentic self.
Watch this video to see how you can use tapping to manifest the life you want and tell the universe your hopes and dreams.
Would you like to try manifesting LIVE with me? Then join the Happy Heads Wellbeing Retreat in January.

TAPPING FOR PARENTS
Finding time for self care as a parent can be tough when all your energy is being poured into your little ones. A child's brain is still very much developing, which is why they are unable to self regulate their emotions - they need us to help them. That's incredibly hard to do if you're feeling exhausted, stressed, anxious and low. The more you nurture your own mind, the easier it is to nurture theirs.
Watch this video to see how you can use tapping to calm your incredible parent brain.
If you would like more support nurturing your mind please get in touch kim@happyheads.me I would love to help xx

7 MINUTE TAPPING MEDITATION
Do you struggle with meditation? Do you find it really hard and often want to give up? You’re not alone! We have such busy, distracted minds these days that most people find meditating really tough.
Tapping is a wonderful way to meditate when the more traditional routes aren't working for you. The physical movement is incredibly grounding, which is why so many people find it more beneficial at focussing the mind on the present moment.
This is also a great meditation technique for any adult or child that is on the spectrum. The rhythmic tapping can often feel like a much more affective way to calm the nervous system rather than trying to sit still, which may have the opposite to effect.
Watch this video to see a 7 minute Tapping Meditation (suitable for all ages) that will help calm and soothe both your body and mind.
For more support (adults or children) please get in touch kim@happyheads.me I would love to hear from you xx

HAPPY HEADS BURNOUT PROGRAMME
HAPPY HEADS BURNOUT PROGRAMME 💫
Burnout is a very real and very scary thing to experience. I had it myself over 6 years now and in the space of 6 months in the toxic work environment I was in, I completely lost my mental health to the point I had severe anxiety which lead into depression. Overcoming burnout and learning how to nurture my mental health and wellbeing was one of the main reasons I retrained as a Tapping Practitioner, Meditation Teacher and started Happy Heads.
