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
MALE MENTAL HEALTH
I was so honoured to be invited by @lovebrotherworld to see a special screening at the House of Lords of this very powerful film called The Men and The Chair Outside of My Window directed by the brilliant @nickaldridge
The film highlights male mental health, which is something I am deeply passionate about. My dad killed himself when I was 7 years old so I’ve lived with suicide my whole life. The impact of male mental health has literally shaped my life.
Suicide is something that is still very sadly prevalent and in 2022 in England alone, 5284 men took their own life. Men are 3 times more likely to kill themselves than women and this crisis needs to stop.
I witnessed three incredible men @bobjo_nes @coughcool86 @nickaldridge talk openly about their own mental health while introducing this film and that’s the first time I’ve ever witnessed such a conversation (and I’m 40). It’s these kind of conversations that we NEED to keep having to help overcome the stigma of a man talking about his mental health.
Talking about mental health should be no different to discussing physical health - it effects everyone. If more men feel like they can speak out and reach out, not only when they are struggling but in the every day ups and down of life we can greatly reduce the number of suicides each year.
Please take time to watch this video and share with those around you. If you yourself are struggling call 116 123 now for support, visit Samaritans or get in touch kim@happyheads.me xx

THESE 10 DAYS WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!
16th TAPPING WORLD SUMMIT
Life isn't always easy. In fact, for most people, it involves a lot of stress and struggle on a daily basis. With finances, work, health, relationships, and a lot more. Most people are dealing with more stress, anxiety and overwhelm than they realise.

IS YOUR BRAIN HARD WIRED FOR NEGATIVE THINKING?
A lot of people really beat themselves up over "negative thinking."
It is, of course, true that in order to create the life we want today, changing our thinking to be more positive is extremely important and effective for reaching our goals.
But...
Did you know that negative thinking is actually hardwired into the brain, in one of the most ancient parts of it? And that it's there for a very important reason?
If you want to find out what this reason is, and how you can overcome it, I recommend watching a video just put out by my friend and New York Times bestselling author Nick Ortner that shares more about this primitive part of the brain, why it's not your fault if you think negatively, and what you can do about it.
He'll show you how you can use Tapping to literally rewire the neuropathways of the brain to create the life you want. He'll even take you through a simple yet powerful process with it that will have you instantly feeling better. You can check it out here:
Here's the reality about negative thinking...
It's hard-wired in our brain for a reason and not easy to overcome unless you have a technique or tool to overcome it. If you feel you get stuck in patterns of negative thinking, take a breath, and know that it's not your fault.
But know that there IS something you can do about it. With this simple video, you'll learn how to use EFT Tapping to get past this primitive part of the brain and remove the negative thinking, limiting beliefs and chronic negative emotions that stifle our ability to grow and create the life we want.
WATCH IT NOW
Enjoy!
Kim xx
P.S. - Nick is releasing this video as part of the lead up to his 16th Annual Tapping World Summit, which starts on February 26th and this year they asked me to be part of it, I'm still pinching myself!!!
This event has been attended by over 2.5 million people over the last 15 years. It is a truly life-transforming event that you don't want to miss out on.
TAPPING TO STOP RUMINATING OVER THE PAST
Rumination is when your minds get stuck on certain thoughts, usually negative ones. It's like a broken record in your mind that won't stop playing. When we ruminate over the past we keep replaying certain events, worrying about things we said, overthinking our actions and wishing their was a different outcome. This can easily make you feel overwhelmed, anxious and has a detrimental impact on your mental health.
This is because it's a completed wasted energy - we can't change the past! What we can do though is anchor our minds in the present moment and tapping is a great way to do that and stop the rumination.
COLLARBONE BREATHING
Collarbone breathing is a great way to quickly reduce stress and anxiety. You're working specifically with the collarbone point (chest area) which is a common place that most people experience their stress and anxiety. It also has a very specific breathing technique that helps to deepen your breathing and focus your mind on the present moment.
If you’re interested in private sessions and 1:1 coaching please get int touch kim@happyheads.me I would love to hear from you and always offer a FREE 20 min consultation call xx
MANIFEST THE LIFE YOU WANT - 6th December @ 8pm
“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. Manifesting is a powerful way to identify what you really want from life, overcome your limiting thoughts and start to turn your dreams into reality.
This one hour VIRTUAL workshop includes:
Insight - into what manifesting actually is and the four step process to follow.
Breathwork - to calm and soothe your nervous system.
Emotional Freedom Technique (Tapping) to help you overcome any self doubt that might be holding you back.
Manifesting - the life that you want and identifying your dreams.
Visualisation - to help put your dreams out into the universe.
The workshops is only £20 and spaces are limited. To book on just click below or you can email me direct on kim@happyheads.me .
I LOVE manifesting so i’m really excited to share this one with you and really looking forward to meeting you all.
Big Love

WORKPLACE BULLYING SUPPORT - 29th November, 8pm UK Time
Have you ever experienced bullying within the workplace? If you have, then you’re not alone. Recent studies show that 47% of UK workers have observed bullying at work and 1 in 10 people have experienced being bullied. It’s something that can deeply impact your mental health, isn’t always obvious to spot and affects thousands of people every day. Unlike bullying at school, which may be more overt, bullying within the workplace can be subtle with passive aggressive communication and gas lighting.
I experienced this myself 7 years ago and it’s not something I’d ever spoken about until recently. It had a huge impact on my mental health and the burnout it created took years to recover from. I've learnt so much over the 7 years I’ve been running Happy Heads and I wish I had these techniques back then because I would have been able to prevent burnout.
I can't control the bullies who you may be being faced with or change the toxic workplace you are in BUT one thing I can do is help you nurture your mental health, reduce anxiety and rebuild your confidence.
This 1 hour ONLINE workshop on 29th November, 8pm UK Time is about helping people find their voice again, validating their experience and reminding anyone that is going through it right now - that you’re not alone.
It includes:
Insight - into the brain, burnout and the impact of bullying on your mental health.
Breathing Techniques - to calm and soothe your whole nervous system.
Guided Meditation - to help you identify your worries and process your emotions.
EFT (Tapping ) - to help you overcome any anxious, negative thoughts that you might be having, overcome self doubt and rebuild your confidence.
Spaces are limited and only £20. To book on click the button below or get in touch kim@happyheads.me. The Zoom link will be sent to you a week before.
I can’t wait to see you all.
Big Love

TAPPING ON BEING BULLIED
Have you ever experienced bullying within the workplace? If you have, then you’re not alone. Recent studies show that 47% of UK workers have observed bullying at work and 1 in 10 people have experienced being bullied.
It’s something that can deeply impact your mental health, isn’t always obvious to spot and affects thousands of people every day. Unlike bullying at school which may be more overt, bullying within the workplace can be subtle with passive aggressive communication and gas lighting.
I experienced this myself 7 years ago and it’s not something I’ve ever spoken about. It had a huge impact on my mental health and the burnout it created took years to recover from.
You can listen to one of the things I experienced in the workplace with a female boss here:
https://www.instagram.com/p/CxItGLUoV-F/
Comments like this are deeply damaging to an employees mental health for a number of reasons:
1) it’s a personal attack on the employees personality and has nothing to do with their role .
2) They are using an umbrella term ‘everyone thinks’ rather than owning their personal opinion.
3) These types of comments are a form of emotional abuse, used to put a person down.
4) Language like this is used as a form of control in order to make a person feel small.
5) Statements like this don’t allow the person to really respond (what can you say to something like that) and is another way to assert control.
6) Derogatory comments in any form can negatively impact a persons self esteem.
It’s important to remember that while you control other people, you can always control how you react.
It may not feel like it at the time but you have a choice as to how much of someone’s toxic energy you take on.
Tapping is the perfect way to calm your nervous system and give that toxic energy back so watch the video above to help you nurture your mental health and process beeing bullied.
If you are going through it now, know that you are not alone. For more support please get in touch kim@happyheads.me I would love to hear from you.

TAPPING FOR TEENS
Your teenage years are a HUGE time in brain development and for many adolescents (and caregivers) it can be a tough time to navigate.
This video by Dr Dan Siegel explains exactly what happens to the brain:
For any teen these changes are a big transition to go through so it's normal to experience worries, anxiety or negative thinking. Tapping is a powerful tool to help process your emptions and overcome your anxious, negative thoughts - perfect for teens! Watch the video below to see how easy it is to nurture your wellbeing.
If you’re a teenager, parent or caregiver and would like some more support please get in touch kim@happyheads.me I would love to help xx
TAPPING TO PROCESS ANGER
Anger is a normal human emotion but it's often not something that we know how to process in a healthy and safe way. Quite often anger is the proceeding emotion that covers up what we're really feeling inside (scared, lost, rejected, unsafe, sad, abandoned, betrayed, lonely).
This illustration called the Anger Funnel gives a clear description of how anger can be the blanket emotion for other feelings:
Unprocessed anger can wreak havoc on your mind and body. Watch the video above to see how you use tapping to help you process your anger and free your nervous system of negative tension.
If you would like more support dealing with your anger please get in touch kim@happyheads.me I would love to help.

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.

TAPPING ON THE ANXIETY OF A FUTURE EVENT
A common anxiety trigger is worrying about a future event, this is also known as anticipatory anxiety. This is because the brain can easily catastrophise and likes to make up all of these worst case scenarios. We often like to think that we're mystic meg and can genuinely predict the future but the good news is - we're not! Reframing your mind to think differently about a future event is a powerful way to reduce anxiety and rebuild your confidence.
If you experience anticipatory anxiety then watch this video to calm your nervous system and boost your self belief.
If you would like some 1:1 sessions with me please get in touch kim@happyheads.me I would love to help xx
